It's time to admit that Gen 9 destroyed the Pokemon brand.

With Palworld's growth, it's easy to assume that part of its success is due to the damage Gen 9 did to the Pokemon brand, and it will likely take years of good games to repair it.
When your product benefits the competition, it's time for introspection.

          Came here to say this. Pokemon did 10 million in its first few days.

          And how did gen 9 kill pokemon when it was the biggest launch in Nintendos history? Especially given that sales is the threshold being used to measure success here in the Palthreads themselves?

        Correct, we live in capitalism where money and sales is the only thing that really matters and measures success

    I'll believe it when I see how Game Freak's next turd sells, that will give people a good sense of how big the core of moronic cultists really is.
    Also, Game Freak was always a garbage shovelware studio that lucked out with Pokemon. They're not competent enough to start putting out quality games for today's standards, just look at their other games. Even if they did start hiring the best programmers and artists around, they would still be held back by the company's moronic leadership. I have no hopes short of Nintendo and Creatures saying they had enough and either demanding a purge or handling the franchise to someone else.

    Imagine shilling an early access scam for zero compensation because you think it might make a dent in pokemon numbers when they're not even in competition with each other.

    Are people unironically saying Palworld is better than SV?

    SV's only problem was performance but Palworld also runs like shit while also looking like shit (realistic world + cartoony animals? seriously?)

    Pokémon has actual content while Palworld is just ark survival

        They are not only the best pokémon games to date, they are arguably the best RPGs on the switch since they are actually competitive
