Maybe we'll gets some mainline Pokemon games that don't suck absolute ass since they'll have to compete.
Pokemon fans are like fifa fans. They buy ecery game no matter how shit it is. There is absolutely no reason for them to even try to make a playable game.
Will never happen until people stop buying the games. And no it’s not the fault of adult Nintendo fans. The vast majority of buyers are just parents buying games for their kids who don’t read reviews and just buy the game because their kid nagged for it. Palworld doesn’t even really compete in that market.
I work with kids. Almost none of them are interested in the Pokemon games and only few in the cards. I'm pretty sure the audience is Millenials and older Gen Z's. Not many under 25 I'm willing to bet.
Pokemon is in the merch and nostalgia business, not the gaming business.
Maybe, but I don't really see them as competitors. They're both monster raising, yeah, but that's honestly where the similarities stop. That said, I haven't played Legends or ZA (whatever they're called) which both seem closer to what Palworld is (still very different though)
