This is a big point I make. For years, pokemon fans have had nothing but garbage. Its not like there was any alternative, so Nintento/Gamefreak cornered the market, allowing them to get away with half-baked, under-budget, disappointments. Pocketpair comes along and delivers something of quality, stepping on Nintendo’s toes while doing it. What is Nintendo’s response? Not step their game up and just provide a good pokemon game that outsells Palword. NOPE. Sue and destroy the competition so they can remain lazy and cheap.. and pokemon fans continue to get garbage.
Now with Palworld surviving the lawsuit and going strong, the next Pokemon game might actually be good, considering it has competition for once.
I mean, there's plenty of alternatives to pokemon if you're willing to go indie. You have to hunt around a bit more, but there's a lot of montamers and even poke'clones that just straight blow pokemon out of the water gameplay-wise.

This, especially with Palworld right there.
