People who think palworld is going to light a fire under gamefreak's ass are in for a rude awakening.

People who think palworld is going to light a fire under gamefreak's ass are in for a rude awakening. While they are undoubtedly going to take notes (why wouldn't they) its extremely unlikely that they will have anything to show for it for a few more years. Yo Kai watch first released in 2013 and Sun and Moon didn't come out until a few years later. Palworld only just came out and they're likely getting close to showing off Generation 10 next month. Expect another few years of slop if anything before they actually show off what they have cooking that takes inspiration from Palworld's success. Pokemon is not immediately going to start making better games just because Palworld is blowing up rn

    Gamefreak will never give you this interaction.

      Pokemon are supposed to be pets, so pet affection can only be directed at the Pokemon by the humans. If the Pokemon were allowed to reciprocate pet affection at the humans, it would cause confusion about the nature of the Pokemon and their human relationship with humanity, which would in turn damaging their intended brand image.

        How does that make sense? Pets in our world already return their affection to us, don't they?

          Not by petting you like a kitty.

            Pals and fakepals are far more intelligent than real-world animals, plus fakepals in the anime spontaneously show affection all the time.

              Come on, man, you're intentionally being antagonistic with that shit. This has been one of the more civil Palworld-centric we've had, don't poke the bear for the sake of it.

              They're only allowed to do things like lick or nuzzle. They can't pet people. They aren't allowed to have any interactions that make them seem dominant over the human. Petting someone carries very specific connotations which would violate the intended image of human/Pokemon relationships.

            My old cat used to literally pet me and make a petting motion with her paws to tell me she wanted pets. I miss her.

    Apologies as I know many people are sick of the palworld threads on vp right now, and i personally do not care for the game; I simply wanted to spark an actual discussion about the franchise's future that happens to relate to the subject

      I get what your intentions are, but you would have been better off saving this for next month, we're still getting Gankerjects shitting up the board, not to mention people like Asmongoyim shitting on Pokémon atm, causing them to flock here in droves to insult us or liking a thing the bald hikki made fun of.

    Yokai Watch didn't become a phenomenon until 2015 when the anime blew up. SM came out 1 year later. Just felt like correcting you there.

      You mean like the ones they already out in pokemon because infinite reuse TMs with actually good moves in them are too good for you?

    Granny won't buy palworld for little jimmy because it has guns in it. Gamefreak will be fine.

    I’m surprised I found the Skitty Image I created and posted to Ganker on Google images.
