    I mean…it is, literally, factually better than pokemon is at its own formula. Not really a disrespectful take, and far from a strawman. And you’re kidding yourself if you think being inspired by something is the same thing as theft. Fun fact: pokemon lifted off of dragon quest. The fact that it is so successful is literally because it does pokemon better, but sure, “flippant accusations” lol. Congrats, you are the exact type of fanboy I’m talking about

      At its own formula? I thought Palworld had a whole like crafting and base building/management side. That’s not really what I wanted out of a pokemon type game, and so I didn’t get Palworld. I can understand it being a better game for somebody who likes that, but I don’t know if that qualifies as Pokemon’s formula.

        The catching of pals, the way you do it, mounting your pals, fighting in real time instead of turn based, the boss battles, the exploration are what people are specifically saying it does better than pokemon, and I 100% agree with that take.

      Dude, if you think I’ve played Pokemon since red/blue, or I’m fanboying here, I’m glad to be part of your strawman because it’s delusional.
