Your take on Palworld and Pokemon is really misguided. Outside of art it is nothing like Pokemon. The people flocking to this game is a big ol mixing pot primarily made up of the core PC market that eat up survival games.
It is like Minecraft and looks like Fornite, let's quit pretending they did Pokemon better than Game Freak and that is why it sold 7+ M copies.
You guys are really looking at it through a narrow lense for the sake of going after the easy target.
