idk dude like i do not care abt the pkmn company losing money becos they're being "ripped off" by palworld

(1. palworld will not outsell pkmn and its silly to think that 2. i want more competition for monster-collecting games becos the monopoly pkmn has has given us some unfinished, buggy messes)

its less abt pkmn designs being "ripped off" and more abt how unoriginal and slapped together the pals are. like it's honestly kinda a shame that the monsters in this new monster-collecting game don't really have their own identity. like when I look i them I dont think about palworld, I dont think of them as pals, I think of pokemon. Thats uh. not great imo?

its extra sucks becos I see the pals that are original and theyre good!! I usually really like those designs!! There was something there but the game relies too much on the familiarity of pokemon's designs and i just feel indifferent at best and kinda 😕gyeh at worst

im also comparing it to cassette beasts, another (very good) monster collecting game that appeals to me as a pokemon fan, but absolutely stands on its own and exists completely separate from pokemon because of its unique designs and unique takes on some pokemon formula things.

Like sorry to compare but: the beasts in cassette beasts are clearly identifiable and there's a design philosophy going on there. And although I can easily pick out a pal from a pokemon, I'm not thinking of the pal, im thinking of the pokemon parts its made from. honestly its just not great design imo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#its nice to hear people are enjoying it regardless! but i feel like a lot of artists are being misconstrued w/ our main issues w/ the game #its less abt them copying pokemon and more abt them not being unique/having their own identity #and i know im gonna sound a bit immature here but!#im particularly frustrated becos this game got so much more attention than cassette beasts #(which as u might be able to guess i think is a much better monster-hunting game than palworld)#like at the end of the day i know what it is #people do not want a new monster hunting game. they want a new pokemon game #and thats fine! i dont blame them! pokemon is fun #but it makes me a bit sad yknow?#scout.txt #EDIT: anytime i wrote monster hunting in the post of tags replace that with monster collecting #lmao sorry my friend has been talking abt monster hunter a lot and its rewired my brain a bit and my words got jumbled!!!!#sorrryyy lmao
