As a pokemon lover who has played most games yet also tried out Palworld, I will admit Palworld is better if you compare it 1v1 against any pokemon game and LegendsZA is a blatant. HOWEVER:
1. Palworld is already dying, pokemon won
2. They mismanaged the most obvious ways to guarantee longevity, for example: marketable pals, designs like Chillet and Depresso, where are the plushies? In every single store you find bootleg pikachus, where are all the mass produced Chillets? The cattivas, kids would certainly buy pink funny cat plushies, where are them? Japan? that brings me to my next point.
3. Palworld fought for japan, an already lost battle since the japanese are subhuman worthless bugmen who love nintendo even though nintendo hates its consumers and feeds them shit. Palworld to guarantee survival HAD to go the dragon ball route, remember dragon ball? of course you do, in japan dragon ball is considered a garbage anime nobody likes, it will never compete with one piece or any other anime that's flavour of the month, meanwhile dragon ball is culturally way more influential than one piece because they focused on winning overseas markets USA, europe and even the 3rd world. Even if japan sees dragon ball as a joke they are still relevant worldwide, PALWORLD SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT, FOCUS ON WINNING THE OVERSEAS MARKETS not focus on fucking japan where people hate you. Imagine if Palworld mass produced plushies and focused on attracting White consumers in europe and USA instead of whatever the fuck they are doing now (nothing, just more fetishist Zoe waifu shit).
Pokemon at least has their marketing priorities straight, normal people care about the pokemon not the human freaks. Palworld is focusing more on humans like Zoe and not the fucking Pals, what the fuck, like yeah, Zoe is cute and shit but pokemon has a million cute girls and they never lost the way of making sure the games focus on pokemon, not on whores, even less so on feminist bad girl icons like Zoe.
