        It is but they made that a deliberate choice to avoid wokesters complaining. The lead dev said they did it because "They knew americans loved guns and making ugly characters" according to the lead dev interview.

          The bit about ugly and funny characters is true. Check out any MMO and you'll find some bonafide monstrosities and wildebeests.

    Because it's nothing like pokemon besides in the designs. It's open world and not a linear story structure, it's not turn based and realtime, you equip shit to your pals that give them new moves instead of giving them held items that add passive effects
    I don't know where people are getting pokemon from out of it besides the catching aspect.

    >Nintendo refuses to supply the PC player's demand for a Pokemon game

    Not sure what you were expecting to happen. Nintendo could be swimming in money, if they sold on PC too. But they don't so PC players will purchase whatever game is close, to fulfill their demand.
    It's basic economics.

    Palworld is like the Breath of the Wild/ Tears of the Kingdom of Pokemon, except it's done by a different company, and the actual Pokemon is more window dressing for the Ark core elements. Odd how it happened but it did happen.

      Not really. There's nothing to do in the game outside of monster collecting. The overworld is empty. Hate what shitmon has become all you like but those games still have a story, towns and a variety of multiplayer modes to tie the experience together. All Palworld has is to keep resource gathering and fill out the tech tree.

    It's a rebellion against the low quality of modern pokemon games. It's a sad fact, but an asset flip Ark clone with rippoff fakemon designs that isn't even a pokemon game in its gameplay is a better pokemon game and a better game overall than actual pokemon games of present day, PRESENT TIME HAHAHAHAHAHA so of course people aside from dedicated tendie cultists will flock to it. The fact that you can let your frustrations over the state of modern pokemon out by shooting, exploding and exploiting the fakemon is just a bonus.
