Any game that has gone up against Pokemon either changes things too much, or is too similar that it just feels like a cheap copy, it's a lose/lose situation.
Palworld was never going to replace Pokemon because it has barely anything to do with it, sure, it has the random mons, but the game is about farming resources.
The sissy faggots who care about the "cute" Pokemon is going to want to keep the old "cute" Pokemon, and people who care about the battling don't want the combat system to change drastically, but to iterate on it.
This basically took Pokemon and just made something that has nothing to do with it, to the point where neither Palworld nor Pokemon could learn anything from each other.
People who play Pokemon don't want to be farming resources and building bases, and people who play Palworld don't want the game to focus on competitive battles.
