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)
Ahhh I misunderstood. in the palworld fans' defense, I imagine gamefreak seeing a game that uses elements of their games but in an innovative way get a huge game l fanbase might convince them to change their strategy a little bit.
Fewer people buying Pokemon games would help as well, obviously, but if sales went down at the same time a game they see as a competitor gets real big, that might actually kick their butts in gear.
