No king, no king, la la la!

I don't see Palworld having any impact on Pokemon's bottom line. The only impact it has had is that it started a larger dialogue about how ass Pokemon games have become, especially in the past 10 years.

Kinda this. How could it seriously impact Pokemon? It's catering to a very different audience and is a very different type of game.

Not to mention there've been a lot of Pokemon challengers over the years that fizzled out.

The franchise deserves to be so much better than they are, but The Pokemon Company has decided it wants the games to be shovelware.

I mean... the kinda problem I have is the games keep trying to do all kinds of different, silly shit instead of offering something along the lines of older titles. But even going back to the beginning, Pokemon has always had a certain amount of well-designed, well-produced shovelware. Pokemon Snap was tiny for what it was, Pokemon Dash was ridiculously limited, the Pinballs weren't bad but kinda incomplete, the gamecube games were lousy, etc.
