except they do, and they are more than the palmeme garbage
Biggest. Franchise. In the WHOLE. World.
Nothing can slay Pokemon because it's such a safe series, doesn't really take many risks to their formula. It's like comfort food for a lot of people.
Pour gasoline in the office and lit them up. That should do it
The dude didn't die, he was horribly burned and they kept him alive to give him a death sentence a couple months ago.
>palgays can't even beat a single, decade old game, let alone the whole franchise
If you want a real honest answer, it's simply the massive output and scale of pokemon.
Lets say P*lworld actually is the best pokemon-like and monster catching game ever.
Ok. Cool. They made one. One title. One title in x years. A game that can be played and beaten in a few weeks at most.
Lets see what Pokemon does in that same time.
New game. New show. New card series. New game. New merch. New show. New spinoff. New mobile game. New game New game. New game. New game. New mobile app. New card series. New mobile game. New Game. OH MY GOD THEY'RE SPENDING -1- YEAR TO MAKE A NEW GAME? STOP THE PRESSES THIS IS UNHEARD OF IN THE GAMING INDUSTRY. New mobile app. New merch...
You cannot compete against this. Nobody can.
it's far worse than that, it's like 6 sets of cards per YEAR not counting everything else
the TCG drives merchandise after the games release.
a Pokemon tcg anime would rival Yu-Gi-Oh enough to hamper it's progress.pocket is the speed duel version to duel links and rush duels
4 core sets
2 side sets like Hidden fates and Pokémon 151 or Pokémon GO then there's Christmas sets like crown zenith
>a Pokemon tcg anime would rival Yu-Gi-Oh enough to hamper it's progress.
The new immersive cards have a lot of potential, an idea i have is unlocking short spin-off anime episodes by collecting 3 evolution line cards. Hope they do it.
>smallant
yawn
bamp
Taking down a franchise this old takes more than one game, even if it was the best game of all time, which Palworld wasn't. It takes years and years of repeated and steady wins to be an actual pokemon killer. Every single mon game to come out gets passed around as a pokemon killer, and every time it makes me roll my eyes. One game could never do it.
>Instead of posting numbers from the latest Pokemon game for relevancy sake, OP chose a decade old game for convenience
>Leaves out the tidbit of SV being below 1000 viewers
OP? A homosexual
OP?
It being such an old game is even more damning.
Sorry that I cause butthurt with this tidbit but hiding behind a decade old game because its beating the game you despise in a singular comparison is cringe.
>Inb4 But you put SV on front
It's the latest Pokemon game, if it fails to hold up against shit like an early access game even after a massive playerdrop it had then that says a lot more about the modern Pokemon which is what sales NOW instead of your decade old game kept up by nostalgia.
Bite me
>says a lot more about the modern Pokemon which is what sales NOW
Interesting that you mention sales.
>As of January
>As of December
Interesting how you omit the sales numbers of SV for November, allowing two months to stack up against Palworld's numbers from 12 days. moron
It's just the first result on google, dumbass. The fact is Palworld didn't beat literally ANY generation of pokemon, every single gen topped that 19 mil number easily. If you have counter evidence I'd welcome you to post it, but if you did you already would have.
>By generation
>Not by version
Why do you homosexuals always hide behind figures you're stacking up?
Pokemon Red & Green (Japan-only) & Blue - 31.38 million
Pokemon Yellow - 14.64 million
Pokemon Gold & Silver - 23.10 million
Pokemon Crystal - 6.39 million
Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire - 16.22 million
Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen - 12.00 million

That really isn't the win that you think it is.
>Claims it couldn't beat any gen
>It did beat gens
>NOOO IT DOESNT COUNT
Tendies
I want you to read that back, and then read carefully what you think proves it wrong. It didn't beat gens, you got mad that I compared it to gens and compared it to individual games, which are not gens. "It did beat gens" but it didn't, you absolute troglodyte.
>I want you to read my backward logic of not allowing sales figures of a single game to be compared to another single game
I've read it and I've carefully considered that you're asininely butthurt yourself.
Is that what you said? Is it REALLY? Are you SURE you don't want to try reading it again, just to be sure?
I don't take shit from a illiterate phoneBlack person.
I accept your concession.
>I-i accept
PhoneBlack folk really cat handle shit.
>shitty cheap chinkclone has actually outsold the majority of individual games
These are actually pretty good numbers for Palworld.
There's only one version of palworld, so cutting some of those entries in half would be more accurate to measure the sales of individual games. It's still impressive they were able to sell as much as they did and seem to be trying to escape the 'flavor of the month' syndrome by providing quality updates quickly.
…pokesisters… palworld broke 25 million…
If padded numbers are the best you've got, it's a bit sad honestly. Highlighted for emphasis. And even if the numbers are accurate, which they aren't, congratulations on catching up to where SV was two whole months ago, I'm sure those bread crumbs feel like a real win to you.
My sister in Christ. I am worried just like you. We can’t allow someone to take from the pockets of John Gamefreak. I don’t want to be too dramatic, but if Palworld sells another 10 million after the DLC I may off myself.
>You're not allowed to buy more than one copy of the game
What kind of mentality is this?
Xbox numbers are super dishonest since they count Gamepass numbers. Most Gamepass suscribers barely touch the games and are actually getting ripped off even though they think they're saving money.
>More people have PC/Xbone compared to Switch
>One is under 30$ and other is 60$
moronic
What point did you think you were proving here? That its so much easier to get Palworld and for so much cheaper? That means Palwold numbers should be HIGHER, not LOWER dumbass. That's extra damning for Palworld.
>sold
you can't even BUY it on XBox.
Correction for these numbers when they were released; it was 12 million sales as well as 7 million people playing it via the gamepass (as in, paying a few bucks for multiple games).
Overall, it was expected that the game wouldn't remain popular forever, nor beat Pokémon. It was fun when it was released, but the game is pretty bland by itself, even Wikipedia only using the words "Pokémon with guns" to describe it. It also doesn't help that the company is known for abandonning early access projects they make and not make any significant updates. Good that they made money, but we won't see Palworld 2, we might not even see Palworld completed, period.
I cross my fingers they at least give us a workshop and some extra updates, like a few extra pals, a new islands. Maybe a boat.
And maybe some furniture options. Crafting stuff for my pals is all good and dandy, but I want to have a pimped out base as well, not Fortnite's 1v1 Build Mode base.
>I cross my fingers they at least give us a workshop and some extra updates, like a few extra pals, a new islands. Maybe a boat.
If it's just that, I think it's doable. From what I recall, they also have to add an island we haven't seen yet from the trailers. But if craftopia is anything to go by... I doubt we'll see much more. I can be proven wrong, of course. This studio never had such a huge success, they might actually focus on this game much more than anticipated.
I just hope they'll remove the moanings that come from alex adams' porn videos lol
Yes for SV now move along autist
HGSS is still Pokémon
OP's point still stands
cope
Keep seething. Palworld lost. To the gen that ruined pokemon even.
>Palworld is...LE BAD...because...because....
>Palworld lost
Tbf Palworld actually hasn’t even released a full game yet.
Massive cope lol
Facts are cope?
Palworld lost HARD
FRICK OFF
>It lost because I said so
Ok, keep having your revenge in your head.
>Last update a month ago.
>Dwindling playerbase comprised of mostly chinamen bots.
HAHAHAHA
Palworld updated yesterday ackshually
Lmao sounds like a struck a nerve HARD ain't that right tendie?
>W-were gonna kill pokemon any day now!!!
Pathetic wienersucker
Yo my homie is on the spectrum on god
Palworld sure did succeeded in making you mald into oblivion though so it's still based.
>malding
Is there anyone from Ganker that ISN'T Americans who spend so much time on Twitter they completely absorbed all their lingo?
It's just strange the difference between all boards and Ganker, where as most boards speak normally and then you go into Ganker and it's all
>FR FR U BE LIKE MALDING N SHIET ONG BRUH
or typical twitter mannerisms such as saying
>I CONSUME THE DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT
instead of
>I play games
>I play games
Nobody on Ganker actually plays video games so I’m not sure what you mean by this. They mostly spend eight to twelve hours a day posting on Ganker
Ganker is a gathering of schizophrenics who only come to Ganker because they have no followers on Twitter.
That's why half the board is gossiping about literally who's from social media or posting the latest ebin happening from Twitter, they are just there to have the socializing they wish they had there.
And the other half is just having meltdowns at trivial shit like a game they predicted would flop not flopping because, again, they are schizophrenics.
Of course im talking to a complete schizo who lost his marbles. Palworld is based for making you morons become complete spastics and humiliating your israelite company all over the web.
That's my first post in the thread, and I say that to anyone who uses Twitter-speak on Ganker.
Geez dude did you shit your diaper or something.
Palworld is actually a real winner here. They sold over 25 milions copies. 15mil was on steam, rest is xbox. Steam only is 450 MILLIONS OF DOLARS OF PROFIT. 450 mil from Pokemon fans who would love to have a high quality game on PC, which Pokemon will never give them
You think they care about your fanwars? You keep giving them free advertisement. The only loser here is you, because you spent money.
>50 mil from Pokemon fans who would love to have a high quality game on PC, which Pokemon will never give them
The thing is Palworld is not that.
Palworld, just like Scarlet and Violet, is a low effort game with terrible graphics, awful optimization, buggy as hell and on top of that has no real content.
What I want out of Pokemon is a legitimately hard game, with an open world as detailed as RDR2, with the best possible graphics of whatever platform it has, with hand-made trainer fights that actually force you to think instead of just abusing type advantage, and a fully fleshed out online PvP.
Palworld doesn't adress any of the issues with Pokemon, it just replaces everything beyond the Pokemons with something that just isn't what the Pokemon games need.
Im starting to doubt you Black folk even played palworld
Of course they didn't. They just cry on VP and twitter that Palword isnt a real game and pokemon is better.
>Palword isnt a real game and pokemon is better
That's true, even the developers told their players to stop playing and go play something else.
>Look mom a poketard
Yep, a shiteater conditioned to like only one game, play only one game for eternity, praise only one IP and buy all the merch. How's your Kanto starters Tattoo going?
>Nooo, stop liking the popular and beloved franchise that has been around for decades, you have to like the dead beta demo that was popular for a month.
Another absolute moron. Noone says you have to stop liking pokemon you idiot. The point is that you can like many games and IPs you dipshit.
People can like Both Pokemon and Palword. You don't have to be ultra autist about it.
What if I hate both for being too casual?
That's fine as long as you don't shit on others for liking the game you don't
I do that too because the games being this way is their fault.
>People can like Both Pokemon and Palword
theres nothing to like about palworld ive watched it on youtube and it looks trash so i didn't buy it
>theres nothing to like about palworld
>ive watched it on youtube
Discarded
>i just buy games because they're popular without looking at gameplay to see if its good
You cannot decide if game is GOOD or not after watching a video. It's subjective thing. You can decide it it looks interesting for you or not.
Also buy the game. Play one hour, and refund if you don't like it.
>i don't like the game because i was it on youtube
Opinion discarded
Everyone has a favorite franchise, COD, Mario, Halo, Sims, GTA, Madden, Minecraft, FF, Zelda, etc.. but a palgay will never understand because they don't play video games, their favorite franchise is youtuber.
>Everyone has a favorite franchise
This is the most zoomer mentality I have ever seen. This blind loyalism to a franchise blows my mind. Can I ask you something and be honest. Are you from India?
Since you don't like video games it explains why you like palworld. I'll tell you where I'm from if you tell me where you're from.
Indian confirmed. No offense, but I don’t consider Indians to really be human.
Not that homie but I don't see how that's wrong, you can like several things and have some particular franchise edge them out slightly
>they’ll never understand my love of [brand] and [product] because all they love is [person]
You are extremely moronic.
Yes, having your own tastes trumps being a stooge for someone else's.
You’ve both fallen for advertising campaigns and convinced yourselves the other is a sheep
Dude, they've released the roadmap, all their plans are PvP and more pals.
Pals will be irrelevant because the game's main problem is the same as vanilla Minecraft's, that once you have grinded out your base there's little to do but to beat the boss fight, or the four bosses in this case.
And PvP is only going to make something that's already an issue worse, that the multiplayer is full of Chinese hackers.
I have, I was mostly interested because people insisted it was "Pokemon for adults", something I've wanted for years.
Turns out that not only is filled with the same cutesy crap that plagues Pokemon, but that it doubles down on it with things like petting mechanics, as if one of Pokemon's biggest problems isn't how much time they waste on crap like Amie and the whole picnic sandwich crap and just the general gay feel of it.
Feels like the game was thought out by some Californian "dog parent".
Wow, you finished the tutorial and built a bed? Yep you saw all that game has to offer.
It's like saying that you played Scarlet Violet, and got a starter and then turned off the game calling it shit.
Problem? If the game isnt engaging in the first hour its a shit game.
>the game's main problem is the same as vanilla Minecraft's, that once you have grinded out your base there's little to do but to beat the boss fight, or the four bosses in this case.
i hate newer versions of minecraft so much its weird but on beta versions before they had all this bloat you could just play forever building and mining now when you play you gotta do all this story shit it doesn't feel the same
>Pals will be irrelevant because the game's main problem is the same as vanilla Minecraft's, that once you have grinded out your base there's little to do but to beat the boss fight, or the four bosses in this case.
>And PvP is only going to make something that's already an issue worse, that the multiplayer is full of Chinese hackers.
It's the same about Pokemon. Once you finished the story, cought a legendary there isnt anything to do other than pvp, or shinyhunting (which you can do in Palworld too btw)
You just play the game, beat it, and leave it until next update is out. Or play other games. You're not slave to the IP bro.
>You just play the game, beat it, and leave it until next update is out. Or play other games. You're not slave to the IP bro.
Thing is other games which are actually good make me want to play them over and over again.
When I finished Arkham Knight the first thing I did was start a new game.
In Pokemon that would be harder since not only you can lose all your Pokemons, but if you transfer them to a new game you'd just trivialize the difficulty even more than it already is, but I still think that can be done, it just needs some thought put into it.
And Palworld is precisely the type of survival game that should just make you want to start a new world the moment you are pretty much done with your current one.
And neither does it, because there's just not much to them, Pokemon's endgame content is lacking more and more, and Palworld just has nothing beyond the farm.
>What I want out of Pokemon is a legitimately hard game, with an open world as detailed as RDR2, with the best possible graphics of whatever platform it has, with hand-made trainer fights that actually force you to think instead of just abusing type advantage, and a fully fleshed out online PvP.
Drayano hacks have this and it ruins the games. The gym battles bei a difficult challenge is fun. But random Bug Catchers and Picnickers spamming evasion and cheap tactics make grinding frustrating and ultimately why I stop playing them before the Elite 4.
>Palworld, just like Scarlet and Violet, is a low effort game with terrible graphics, awful optimization, buggy as hell and on top of that has no real content.
Get an update
They fixed most of problems already LMAO
>They fixed most of problems already
Are the graphics and the optimization good now?
>450 MILLIONS OF DOLARS OF PROFIT
>100% of steam sales go to the game devs
>100% of money from a game is profit
Beating you isn't even satisfying, you're too stupid for it to feel real. It's like a GM vs Bronze, it's not a real game.
keep seething. It is real game, people who played it LOVED it. It sold more copies than Scarlet/Violet and it's not even a 2 month. Game is gonna sell even more with next updates, it will keep getting better and better, and Pokemon will continue to deliver less and less fore more money. If you actually played the game, you would see that game looks great, plays well, and barely had any bugs. Also it's a indie game, made by small studio, yet it had way less bugs than Scarlet and Violet, had better optimization than SV
The people who think Early Access Survival Game #1533817950 is somehow high quality have never played a true, well made Triple A game.
Both Palworld and Pokemon have the production values of a Skyrim mod, you play them and they just feel cheap, like barely any work went into anything.
They say that Palworld was made by 10 people, the thing is it does look like a game made by 10 people, what happens is Game Freak is lazy as frick.
Pokemon shouldn't look like Palworld, that's barely an improvement, it should look like a game that has hundreds of millions spent on it.
Batman Arkham Knight, Grand Theft Auto V, LA Noire, Red Dead Redemption 2, those are games where you play them for even 5 minutes and you can tell that the games are showered in hundreds of millions of dollars, that devs spent more effort into a single NPC model than Palworld or Pokemon have spent on the entirety of the games, that's how Pokemon should be.
Looks to be doing pretty well for a game designed to grift off Pokemon’s success.
Re/v/enge status?
Actually, a fair thing would be adding up ALL the Pokemon games, to show interest in the franchise rather than its segment
Pokemon + Persona dating sim elements
>Palworld can’t even beat Johbortion
Palbros…
You'd need something that beats Pokemon the way Palworld did, but it should do it consistently for years and also beat it in terms of anime and merchandising.
A flash fad videogame is not going to change much, no matter how bright it flashes.
Digimon and Yokai Watch had, and still have, a way bigger chance to kill Pokemon than Palworld.
I give up, bait thread is clearly bait. You got me, congrats.
Because people don't want Pokemon to change too much, just to improve.
Any game that has gone up against Pokemon either changes things too much, or is too similar that it just feels like a cheap copy, it's a lose/lose situation.
Palworld was never going to replace Pokemon because it has barely anything to do with it, sure, it has the random mons, but the game is about farming resources.
The sissy homosexuals who care about the "cute" Pokemon is going to want to keep the old "cute" Pokemon, and people who care about the battling don't want the combat system to change drastically, but to iterate on it.
This basically took Pokemon and just made something that has nothing to do with it, to the point where neither Palworld nor Pokemon could learn anything from each other.
People who play Pokemon don't want to be farming resources and building bases, and people who play Palworld don't want the game to focus on competitive battles.
to slay Pokémon you need 3 important pillars
1. game
2. card game
3. Animation
only then you might be able to surpass the Pokemon company
Why would you try to slay Pokemon? Sure, the games do sell well but the real staying power is in the other aspects of it like the anime, manga, tcg, mobileshit, etc. The level of effort to actually kill Pokemon requires too many steps for most companies and isn’t something you could do overnight.
Palworld isn’t trying to be a Pokemon killer. It probably never was intended to be a Pokemon killer. It’s just trying to benefit from Pokemon’s existing popularity. Pokemon’s continued popularity helps sell Palworld instead of it just being another forgettable survival game like Ark or Conan Exiles.
its because all these new indieslop games are just trends, streamers and youtubers hype them up then everyone rushes in to buy it because they are dumb Black person cattle who fall for marketing.
>How would you ACTUALLY slay Pokemon?
i dont think its possible without the pokemon branding, maybe it will happen when they lose rights to the brand because their copyright expires doesn't that happen after 50 years like with whinnie the pooh?
And now post concurrent players of SV
i dont think there are stats but im sure the curve of the players lasted more than a month kek. its just how these indie games work they get hyped massively then everyone gets bored the same happened with battlebit in the summer
>maybe it will happen when they lose rights to the brand because their copyright expires doesn't that happen after 50 years like with whinnie the pooh?
the Pokemon company own 100% of the IP, Nintendo, creatures and Game freak own approximately 33%
Pokemon IP is safe, unlike Disney
oh is that how they lost it they didn't fully own it?
What was too cutesy about Palworld?
The creature designs, the way they react to you, and the whole "slavery" thing was too forced because the creatures just seem to love working for you.
Everything is tailor made for people to make memes, but not to show anything.
Yes, you can put your pals to work for you, but as I said, they just love working for you, they make cute noises even when they complete a task.
Yes, you can shoot and kill them, but they never bleed, there's no gore or anything, when they die they don't just collapse on a pool of blood, all that happens is that they ragdoll and get swirly eyes, like when Pokemons in the anime get hit with a blast that should have torn them to pieces, and they just stand there and suddenly fall to the ground.
The "violence" in the game gives me the same feel as when you have a Rayquaza or a Giratina, which are Pokemon that look like they'd be extremely dangerous and would probably just kill you if you bothered them, but turns out that they love being petted and that they just love cupcakes.
It just feels way too childish, like i'm watching Caillou.
>It's like saying that you played Scarlet Violet, and got a starter and then turned off the game calling it shit.
Not sure if there's a tutorial, I dropped Scarlet after getting to the school.
It's split into three.
TPC owns 33%, Game Freak another 33% and Nintendo the last 33%
Thing is I think Nintendo owns almost 50% of Game Freak, so Nintendo is the closest there is to an actual owner of Pokemon.
Making an actual good game instead of a shovelware with monsters sprinkled on it
I'm not sure i would consider people playing and watching a 14 years old game to be a win for modern game freak, to be honest.
If anything the biggest "pokemon killed" is old pokemon.
Unslayable.
Brand recognition is too strong.
Sadly.
>namegay
have a nice day.
>telling Santa Claus to kill himself
How’s the weather in Philly?
I'm not even from the US.
Leave santa alone.
Why? He's an attention whoring namegay.
Yeah, he also delivers toys to all the children of the world.
Santa's wife is better, she should deliver the gifts instead
pokemon is more than videogames
it's a cult
>How would you ACTUALLY slay Pokemon?
Ish verii shympul. Blocke all their licensing.
You cannot kill Pokemon. But you can immortalise yourself as an insult for every Pokemon fan to use for designs that came after the first 151.
Palworld only wins when /vp/ begin to call Gen 10 designs Pals
not only do you need designs that arent shit you also need a constant flow of content. pokeshit sharts out games and everything else consistently. devs just dont have the funds for this. yokai watch and digimon are the only ones who kinda pushed out content from time to time instead of just once but they were both led by incompetent people and have weird designs that normies cant get into anyway. also pokemon will always hold the pokemon designs hostage and no ones gonna abandon their best buddy blastoise from 20 years ago so they keep buying the pokeshit games regardless of whats in it. basically pokemon is unbeatable but who cares as long as we get more monster games. palworld was a massive win for the genre and i cant wait for all these people making their own games now cause of palworlds success.
You don't slay Pokemon you don't kill anything Palworld sucks Tyrone's smegma but I'm sick of the "why didn't this kill my mega popular franchise?" And acting like any game would get Gamefreak to change course
>Palworld is....LE BAD.......because....
Because its artistically bankrupt and stylistically incoherent. Subjectively did a good video that sums up my feelings on that dog shit.
>stylistically incoherent
"Unreal Engine generic chink game" is a very coherent style.
Okay goy
It's literally a clone of Fortnite another shit game homosexual
It's literally ARK combined with Pokemon, Black person. You never touched palworld.
The only pokemon killer is pokemon itself, and gen 8 and 9 did a great job towards that.

You’re right anon, you do.
But enough about chinkworld
At least chinkworld isn't controlled by Blackrock israelites.
>assraped brand monkey Black person immediately resorts to deflection
Pitiful.
Japanese dev, moron.
>b-b-but
Tongue my anus.
Thats very gay of you
I like Palworld but there’s no way you seriously believe this. They only barely tried to hide they’re chinks.
Where's the proof that they are chinks?
Pocket Pair is financed by Tencent (chinese conglomerate)
All their stock was bought by Tencent, and they are the ones actually calling the shots as the main investors.
It's the exact same case as Shift Up, the studio that develops Nikke.
Shift Up belongs to Tencent, and they do everything that Tencent (again, a chinese conglomerate) tells them to do.
Calling them a japanese or korean company is disingenuous and dishonest, because the one who actually calls the shots is the big chinese company that owns them.
>Pocket Pair is financed by Tencent
????????????????
Yeah, the anon's moronic.
If Tencent backed Pocket Pair, Pokemon UNITE would be EoS'd and they'd remove their stock ownership on TPC.
I never knew Phil Spencer worked for Tencent
>d-don’t believe your eyes! They are secret chinkoid in nip clothing!!
Take your meds, spastic.
They have all the shame of a chink company. There's no way they're not chinks
More than a third of your dying player base is chinamen bots lmao.
Irrelevant. That doesn’t mean the devs are from anywhere but Japan you stupid fricking Black person, holy shit. Pokegays are deranged.
Nice cope.
>c-cope!
I accept your concession.
Not an argument
Neither is “nice cope” you dumb brand monkey Black person. Concession accepted. Try not to cry too hard when ZA is undercooked dogshit.
>Noooo it's not a chink game
>Get proven it is
>Meltdown.
Ok moron
>”t-the players are from China, this must mean the devs are too!”
I’ve always understood CSGO to be a snow Black person game. I now follow your logic, and see that I am wrong and a homosexual.
Wow you're fricking moronic lmao the devs are massively tied to China
you know youre losing an argument when you start calling people Black person, kek
Anon, think to yourself and wonder what is there to be excited about when it comes to nu-pokemon?
Its not Palworld
>palworld, an early access game, sold 25 million+, outdoing most pokeslop
*players, not sales
>Palworld has sold nearly 15 million copies. The remaining 10 million players in that figure are on Xbox and Windows, where Palworld is available as part of the Game Preview program via Xbox Game Pass
>not a live service
Not a complete game either according to developers, check back in a few months when ti still wont be a full game.
>still doing well enough to be at the top of the steam chart
#7 and falling rapidly
>”flop! flop! d-dead game!”
looks like it
>meanwhile the only slop pokegays have to look forward is “an adventure that takes place entirely within lumiose city”

>a legends game that drops the best thing about legends arceus
the only good thing about PLA is the porn
>”y-you don’t know that it won’t be good! let them cook!”
still better than palworld and will be an actual game
>gamefreak, known for their stunningly detailed urban environments, surely
doesn't need to look good to sell, see palworld
>palworld could drop to zero players tonight, it wouldn’t unrape you.
It certainly can't unrape itself or make you happy.
There's a reason the only thing either you or Pokegays talk about is sales numbers, because the games themselves are shit.
There will be no Pokemon killer. The best hope is that the current conception of copyright/trademark dies with boomers.
>palchinks this mad nobody gives a shit about their Fortnite clone anymore.
Top kek.
At this point the only thing that could kill Pokemon as a franchise would be the collapse of capitalism and the end of copyright law
Because Pokemon Killer was never a term devised by genuine fans of a monster collector that are excited at the prospect of Pokemon finally having competition, it was a term devised by Pokemon's marketing teams themselves with the express intent to murder any potential competition by forcing any mention or acknowledgement of it to also include a reminder that Pokemon as a franchise exists, meant to unconsciously sway gullible consumer sheep back into Pikachu's paw once the fun with the brief diversion is had.
There's a reason monster collecting games that debuted after Pokemon's own debut, even those that aren't turn-based RPGs, are all considered "Pokemon ripoffs" or "Pokemon-likes" by the common masses.
Literally impossible.
The first years of Pokemon were so massive, that I don't think any other franchise or product will ever be as big.
pokemon created its own world that fans can get lost in. Palworld is fine, but the only thing I hear from fans is how it craps all over GF. I dont hear things about locations in the games, the creatures, characters nothing. It just comes off as a game thats surviving because its leeching off a more successful franchise.
Only thing I've seen Palworld players talk about is how much they want to frick their Furret knock off. If the only thing about Pokemon that actually gained traction was the Vaporean pasta, that would be Palworld. It's sad.
>I've seen Palworld players talk about is how much they want to frick their Furret knock off
Frick you for making me look.
So basically no different than this place. Fascinating.
>poketroon meltdown thread number… what are we even on now
For a supposedly dead game, you can’t seem to shut the frick up about it.
>Paltroons spend weeks calling Pokemon dead
>They instantly fall off a cliff and die
>everyone laughs that yet another FOTM pokemon killer fails to kill pokemon
>"y-y-you're obsessed, stop talking about us!"
Palworld was always a chinese asset. Nobody actually liked it.
This is the first palworld related thread I've seen in days after weeks of moronic Gankeredditors spamming it here a month ago. Sounds like your chink game is dead lol
HGSSGODS CAN'T BE CONTAINED
>streamers
>HGSS isn't being watched for the game but rather the most annoying homosexual pokemon content creator
I almost wish there was a magic way to see current play numbers of the mainline games yo get this wiener measuring contest over
just go to each game and count the amount of people streaming them.
https://www.twitch.tv/search?term=pokemon&type=categories
Absolutely moronic metric. The closest thing to an objective metric is continued sales which obviously isn't applicable yet since palworld is only 2 months old. And even then sales is a shit metric
And even THEN even then, sales are a worthless metric for Pokemon because all games, mainline, spinoff and mobile, all of them COMBINED, get mogged by GO's literal annual billion dollar profits on its own.
I guess what really matters is what is "slaying" Pokémon. Beating player count? For a single game palworld might actually to it. Sales? Again for a single game it might actually beat RBY. Total revenue? Absolutely -10000% chance
this is shit, i'm seeing platinum and crystal streams under scarlet violet and the gen 3 games have romhacks
>click top game (scat piss)
>top stream is pchal who is doing a podcast. Not even playing
Imagine trying to use twitch as a metric. Ever.
>HGSS currently only has 395 viewers
>most is SV at 4.1k
>Palworld currently has 4.6k
hmmm
See
pokemon twitch streamers are allowed to set the current game to SV even if they're playing an earlier entry. not sure why cuckant didn't do it for hgss earlier
Walls Closed Palbros....the walls are fricking closed....
>the pokegay leans on schadenfreude to assuage his grief that there is no reason to be excited for new product anymore
Sasuga… it’s over.
Palworld isn't even comparable to Pokemon.
the games are so shit that nobody buys them, then the machine breaks because everything on the merchandise wheel spawns from it.
There is no way to kill the biggest franchise in the world unless everyone actually becomes apathetic to it. But sadly thats not happening unless something big happens. Eitherway if you don't like how the games are run then play something else. Its better than just to be complaining all day
Now I wonder: why do you want to kill it?
I haven't played any recent pokémon game beyond Gen 4.
I see the new pokémon, I saw the trailers and gimmicks, is fun and fine. But the moment you pick something else, people look at you like if you insulted a rape victim with a sex joke about her not even being good in bed, not even to the rapist.
Either is greater than pokejesus so everyone picks it up, or is just me being the moron of the town because "oh no, how he dares to enjoy anything other than Pokémon, the franchise of our japanese overlords who grace our existences by letting us fap in our 15' inches Pikachu plushies".
Why anything I play HAS to kill Pokémon? Why can I enjoy other monster taming/catching games and play with them for a while, and be happy they coexist? I don't even play that much anymore!
I'm making up a Pokemon alternative myself for months now
what I will tell you all is that you do not realize how brainwashed you are into thinking your monster battling series needs this or that simply because Pokemon has it and that Pokemon should be treated as the baseline upon which you can only build upon
it takes so much active unlearning, questioning, and thinking for yourself to be able to conceive of something distinct from Pokemon that won't just end up as worse than Pokemon
Palworld was made by 54 fricking people on a 7 million dollar max budget.
EVEN MORE NOTABLE IS THAT 4 years ago, palworlds modeling team did not know how to model AT ALL yet and literally did not know what rigs were. They did not yet know the definition, literally. One of their main modelers was a MOTHERFRICKING MIDDLE SCHOOLER. YES, REALLY. This small, fresh blood team still put out something that looks, plays and runs so much better than scarvio. Pokemon corporate shill drone "fans" have worshipped, praised, defended and based their personality around the biggest scams in video game history that arent freemium games. The pokemon switch games. Some have mindbroken so hard that they are sending death, bomb and legal threats to palworld devs and fans.
Gamefreak is pathetic, apathetic, incompetent. They have truly humiliated themselves and the Pokemon brand especially against a newly qualified game developers product. Gamefreak has ruined a long time franchise and hobby with their pointless awful changes and lack of direction and care. They are liars and thieves too for not giving any bug fixes for scarvio after promising to do so.
Shit against pokemon won't stop stacking. Repeated Dexcuts, feature/post-game cuts, fugly graphics, bdsp, buggy games, plush price gouging in the usa pokemon center, the butchering of pokemon go, the replacement of ash and new anime views/discussion of it falling in every country, pokemon partnering with at least 3 zionist companies (mcdonalds, squishmellows and jazwares), partnering with Tencent, a company who funds invasive surveillance and stripping hong kong citizens rights to make predatory freemium pay to win app games and now palworld.
The Pokemon brand is very anti consumer and one of the most low quality franchises in the entire world. Stop defending Pokemon. It only encourages them to slack off and insult and take advantage of its customers more.
I expected pasta, and I got three servings.
Thanks.
Palworld has announced figures, plushies and cards. Not impressed with the card designs but figures have higher quality paint and plastic than jazwares poketrash. This game has outsold 3 of the switch game scams and has sold faster than all or most of the pokemon games in the same sale frame. Pokemon's very poor management plus worsening products and reputation have left it vulnerable to being replaced and dropped.
More pals and lands have been announced as well. We will likely eventually see clothing, pins and a tv show or movie of some sort. If you really like pokemon, and dont just use it as a prop for your personality or need a brand to worship and insert in your life due to lack of personality or insecurities, then this is all great news. We may actually get quality in official pokemon products now or have different high quality games to mod pokemon into. Plus different mods for shit like sex for Pokemons/Pals if you care.
None of the bullshit smear campaigns against palworld have worked from 3ds age models being stolen to ai made the game. I expect the next lies to be about how the devs strapped guns to trained monkeys shooting pokemon players in japan to promote the game or that pals rape and kill the player while hide away from me plays in the background.
None of the other fandoms of games that have been compared to palworld have had issues or complaints on it at all. Really highlights the mental issues and cult mentality of pokemon "fans" even more.
What official pokemon titles need to learn from Palworld:
Never: guns, bombs, sex, excessive violence or death
Should've been around since a long fricking time ago or never left: good following mons, petting/feeding/playing/talking, more things to do with mons than make them repetitive battle slaves ie like in palworld or pokeathlon. Areas like palworld bases, a ranch, a habitat, a zoo where they can walk around and be viewed and interacted with. Animation with more personality. Ride or fly on lots of different mons of your own or use a key item surfboard, axe, hot air balloon etc the ride pokemon idea was fricking stupid.
Maybe: hybrids, base building or home decor to some extent. More extensive than the secret bases and should be able to be just about anywhere
Definitely: fire/firebomb gamefreak for committing reputation and career suicide plus PR damage on never before seen scales as well as intentionally hindering games as early as in gen 5 or being so incompetent it looks like it was intentional.
>EVEN MORE NOTABLE IS THAT 4 years ago, palworlds modeling team did not know how to model AT ALL yet and literally did not know what rigs were. They did not yet know the definition, literally. One of their main modelers was a MOTHERFRICKING MIDDLE SCHOOLER. YES, REALLY.
all lies
no wonder it flopped
Nah. Still waiting for pokecultists to prove the ai use btw.
You think it flopped. Ready to admit legends arceus flopped then too? And that palworld didnt have an established fanbase or any real advertising and it still beat it, in early access, in a few months? Beat more pokemon titles if you count gamepass.
Remember when gamefreak, tpc and nintendo all lied about shit ranging from dexcuts to scarvio fixes?
Can't accept the harsh truth from others but will eat lies from people who laugh at everyone. Wtf.
gamefreak killed pokemon decades ago
>Pokemon is still being made
?????
you must be one of those who still watch the simpsons
>Comparing Pokemon to zombie Simpsons
Let me guess, bort or genwunner.
>both madden-level slops of their genre
What's the issue?
>viewers
cringe
this is the only closest comparative since nintendo will never release players count
>Game Freak without Pokemon
>casual buggy game with atrocious graphics
>Pokemon without Game Freak
>casual buggy game with atrocious graphics
Why do official Pokemon games and Pokeclones keep getting consistently mogged by Pokemon Showdown, a free game made by 5 autists in their free time?
>Palworld down 1.3m players in Steam’s biggest-ever two-week drop
KEK
Do people still play Lethal Company or Among Us OUTSIDE of streams?
