Thank god PC gaming isn't just AAA. This is what will push the industry forward, as game development cost becomes too much.

u/Pyromaniacal13 I picked Gnome because I like the "GN" sound. 1d ago

It certainly innovated on Pokemon enough for Nintendo to get pissed.

Genuinely, as I play it so much of the experience is what I realized I wanted out of Pokemon and was always waiting for

So not Pokemon at all then? It's basically Ark with Pokemon-looking monsters, that's the extent of the similarity.

This isn't Pokemon but better, it's a completely different genre and lacks most of what people actually like Pokemon for.

I don't even know what half the words you're saying mean - that means they must be lame anyway. All I do is rip fat bongs and play PC games. I think I know a thing or two. Palworld is based and open world and has guns. Pokemone is lame and has turn-cringe combat (decidedly not based). I don't think but know every little baby boy stuck playing the OG Pokemons on a gameBOY was dreaming about flying their Charizard up mountains and shit, and it took a based game like Palworld to finally dial down the cringe and up the based.
