Oh god

We are getting hit by “What Pikachu is that” from the younger generation now, just like we did back then by our parents ʘ‿ʘ

(They’re dating)

You’re not realising the implications of refusing to give Palworld it’s own identity, are you?

The fact that you call em pokémon instead of Pals tells a lot.

Are you assuming I’m buying pokémon games?

I’m playing stuff I actually enjoy like Cassette Beasts. I’m hyped for the upcoming Beastieball too. I tried TemTem but it felt too much “Mobile” for me for a lack of better terms.

I’m pointing out that it’s funny to me that fans of Palworld got angry at the very thing Pokémon fans got angry at Gamefreak for (Namely, spreading their team thin on Little Town Hero)

Instead we get plagiarism simulator 9000 because it made for great YouTube clickbait.

Cassette Beasts has so much soul put into it, it’s a fucking crime that it ain’t more popular

Enshittification marches on

What I mean is no one talks about Hogwarts Legacy anymore. People talk about Assassin’s Creed, God of War, old Mario Games, Even older Harry Potter games but Hogwarts legacy I don’t see popping up on conversation anymore

“Niche games mean nothing”

Digimon is niche to you? The multimedia giant with multiple shows, frequent game releases, merchandise and even a card game which blew up in the TCG scene? The vital bracelet? Digimon Survive? Everything???

Have you been living under a rock? Digimon had a huge resurgence in the last few years.

I mostly found people obsess over Palworld and force it into every conversation.

And they’re still doing it (Never Grave)

Kinda. Honestly I never got too deeply invested into Hogwarts Legacy but I found that games that surge THIS hard in popularity tend to be forgotten fast. Esp when their main source of attention is controversy

It’s moreso that I’m annoyed that Pokémon/Palworld fans seem to act like nothing but Palworld and Pokémon exist and I’m just wondering like “Dude devs have been flowing into the genre for YEARS. Palworld isn’t exactly the first”

The genre has been getting revitalized for a while.

“I hope more devs flow in to the space”

You mean Cassette Beasts, Beastie Ball, FUCKING DIGIMON, TemTem etc?

Wonder how long that is going to last. Remember when Hogwarts legacy used to be a top played game?

Cassette Beasts > Palworld and day for me. Try it it’s great
