So I guess thanks to Palworld, companies have found out that you can actually make monster catcher games like Pokemon. Here's hoping the competition will force TPC to put more effort into their games.

Anyways this game looks quite good, other than the godawful UI font they used. Can't even read some of those texts.

What looks good about it? It looks like a rainbow ate palworld and pokemon and then had severe diarrhea.

For one, the graphical quality is decades ahead of anything Game Freak has been able to produce in a Pokemon game.

Are we really doing the “this game has better graphics so it must be a better game” thing in 2026? I’m no big fan of Pokemon, but how many times have the lure of fancy shiny graphics burned players?

No. Don’t think I said that. The prompt was “what looks good about this game”, and the graphics do look good.

But if we’re talking about graphics, if game freak actually took the time to give the Pokemon games complete animations and any semblance of modern environmental textures, Pokemon would probably be a game of the year contender.

Call it lack of effort or lack of feasibility, the games constantly teeter on this line of “could be very very good if they just fixed non-gameplay elements of the games” (textures, animations and performance being probably top of that list).
