I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a emboars backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares!

Palworld is the new king! Pokmon had 3 decades to get their shit straight.

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.

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

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.

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.

Even then, that's not a new dialogue. People have been complaining about Pokemon being stale and uninspired for literally decades, and that makes its way back into popular discourse whenever any significant Pokemon-related thing happens (the release of a new gen, the release of an alternative like Temtem or Cassette Beasts that seems poised to be "Pokemon, but better," the release of a game that resembles Pokemon but is a different style of game, etc.).

Palworld fits into that last option: It obviously (and quite brazenly) resembles Pokemon, but the core game is radically different such that anyone looking to play a Pokemon-like game (turn-based RPG about exploring the world and capturing creatures to use in a combat system that boils down to Deluxe Rock-Paper-Scissors) isn't going to have that desire satisfied by Palworld. That's naturally sparked some sentiments of "I wish Pokemon were more like this" from people who prefer survival crafting games with action combat to turn-based RPGs, but really, that's not what Pokemon has ever tried to be. Sentiments like that aren't genuinely good ideas for improving Pokemon, they boil down to "I don't actually enjoy the genre that Pokemon occupies anymore, but I want to see these nostalgic designs and concepts in a different genre that I do enjoy," and that's just not a realistic expectation.
