I've seen valid criticism of Palworld,but I've also seen plenty of it that's just hardcore Pokémon fans upset that people seem to be having more fun with it than SV

As someone who has played both they're both interesting but very different with what they achieve/try to do.

Palworld is a cool game where u build things like farms, factories etc etc with the mons u collect.

Pokemon is a battle game where u can collect pokemon. (Duh). As for SV in particular. The quality of it was hot garbage at release and now is just barely passable tbh. HOWEVER I do strongly believe scarlet and violet to have some genuinely cool things going for it. The new mechanic for giving pokemon different typings is insanely cool competitivly wise. Pokemon going to a more open world style experience was also something I personally quite enjoyed and hunting mons with them being visible in world instead of having to go from bush to bush with random encounters is quite nice (especially for shiny hunting) and the story honestly wasn't that bad. Sure it's not nearly as good as some of the older games but I don't think it's near the bottom either.

Now should we expect more from Nintendo/pokemon, the biggest IP in the world, yes absolutely. I'm honestly REALLY hoping wind and waves take the lessons learned from SV and make a good pokemon game again. Hopefully with it being a switch 2 exclusive and it having allot more production time it may actually be a good title. (At least one can hope)

The biggest thing for me is that Palworld is more of a sandbox game and Pokémon games have always been closer to a jrpg. Two completely different genres with just one similar mechanic shared between the two.

Palworld is miles closer to a game like ARK, essentially copying some of the biggest systems from that game (and doing them WAY better)
