>>55363355>palworld's open world isn't emptyIt's not if all you've ever played is Pokemon and Minecraft.
>palworld's graphics aren't awfulThey absolutely are, even maxed out the game looks like it's straight out of PS3 despite the fact that it runs worse than Red Dead Redemption 2.
Looking better than Pokemon doesn't mean Palworld doesn't have graphics two generations behind modern games.
>palworld has more challenge than pokemonIt has challenge in the same way Pokemon has: in that the challenge is removed if you just grind a few levels for your Pokemon.
What Pokemon needs is an open world and graphics at the level of RDR2, and challenge at the level of romhacks like Dark Rising.
Challenge should also be balanced by making it so all trailers have Pokemons at least 10 levels above the ones in your team, and also by changing the concept of type-based gyms to strategy based gyms, giving gyms, Elite 4, etc teams based around things like stalling, full hazard or hyper offense, instead of the played out "Have a Pokemon with type advantage and spam STABS until you win".
