Oh god

We are getting hit by “What Pikachu is that” from the younger generation now, just like we did back then by our parents ʘ‿ʘ

(They’re dating)

You’re not realising the implications of refusing to give Palworld it’s own identity, are you?

oh I was never really desiring 3D pokémon in the first place so I suppose that coincides with my misunderstanding

You can in the newer entries I think? I haven’t played em but I heard my friend mention it

The fact that you call em pokémon instead of Pals tells a lot.

Are you assuming I’m buying pokémon games?

I’m playing stuff I actually enjoy like Cassette Beasts. I’m hyped for the upcoming Beastieball too. I tried TemTem but it felt too much “Mobile” for me for a lack of better terms.

I’m pointing out that it’s funny to me that fans of Palworld got angry at the very thing Pokémon fans got angry at Gamefreak for (Namely, spreading their team thin on Little Town Hero)

Instead we get plagiarism simulator 9000 because it made for great YouTube clickbait.

Cassette Beasts has so much soul put into it, it’s a fucking crime that it ain’t more popular

Cassette Beasts? TemTem? Digimon? Saying no attempts to fill it were made is disgenuine

Enshittification marches on

It’s been quite a long time but iirc there was originally a deal going on between them that got last second tossed out for Fortnite instead. Sadly I don’t fully remember

What I mean is no one talks about Hogwarts Legacy anymore. People talk about Assassin’s Creed, God of War, old Mario Games, Even older Harry Potter games but Hogwarts legacy I don’t see popping up on conversation anymore

Kind of how Fortnite was a rehash of stolen ideas (originally) of PUBG

The reason people originally hated Fortnite was because not only did they blatantly plagiarise PUBG, Sony also intentionally screwed over PUBG to make Fortnite more popular

Exactly. Cassette Beasts and various other indie games have made bigger rounds before.

The only reason Palworld got popular was because of clickbait youtubers

“Niche games mean nothing”

Digimon is niche to you? The multimedia giant with multiple shows, frequent game releases, merchandise and even a card game which blew up in the TCG scene? The vital bracelet? Digimon Survive? Everything???

Have you been living under a rock? Digimon had a huge resurgence in the last few years.

I mostly found Palworld fans obsess over Palworld and force it into every conversation.

Kinda. Honestly I never got too deeply invested into Hogwarts Legacy but I found that games that surge THIS hard in popularity tend to be forgotten fast. Esp when their main source of attention is controversy
