    I have yet to have a solid informed grasp of whether Palworld manifested their sources of inspiration in good faith, but my tentative opinion at the moment is that hopefully this presses the Pokemon Company to innovate and elevate their overall game. The switch generation to me represented a generation of mismanagement and obvious management generated timelines and barriers, which is super unfortunate for Pokemon’s transition to a console.

    Competition hopefully might change that.

        Pokemon was a handheld franchise. All main series titles were Gameboy/DS games until the Switch came along.

        Consoles had spinoffs like Stadium and Snap.
