>>67143945Pokémon has already dipped its toes into the action survival genre with Legends Arceus where wild Pokémon would actually target the trainer. Pal World could have just as easily been turn-based and almost nothing would change. And I like that you choose to omit that you capture Pokémon to add to your party in Palworld as well. Only those Pals can even help around your home base rather than rot in a fucking computer.
Palworld feels like the collective will of everyone that saw the wasted potential of Legends Arceus gathered together and made a proper game with just enough legally distinct elements to fend off a cease and desist.
