Palworld is an alternate take on Pokémon at a time when the colossal franchise feels stagnant and slow

I'd be incredibly happy if that were true, but it isn't. We've had proper Pokemon alternatives since before Pokemon even existed and they haven't slowed that shitty franchise one bit. Megaten is still niche, Digimon is still niche, cassette beasts (the actual goty) has an even smaller audience than those games, if this was major discontent with Pokemon cassette beasts at least would be in a much better place (since it literally released last year, perfect to take advantage of Pokemon's unending failures). Gotta nip that unwarranted optimism in the bud, gamefreak sucks and will never improve, their fans suck and will never improve.
