This board just recycles the same 4 topics huh

>>59357546
just change /vp/ into /vp/ - Virtual Pet at this point

>>59357632
this
there are plenty of upcoming monster tamer games that should be discussed
not like this board has any good threads anyway
it's mostly genwarring or shitty porn threads

>>59357546
No. This is the Pokémon board. It is only for talk about Pokémon.
>Palworld won
Not even close.

>>59357549
Pokémon has an extreme amount of different things to talk about combined with an extreme amount of people wanting to talk about those things, thus why it deserves and has its own entire board.

>>59357632
No. A better idea is to make a separate board for all monster franchises except Pokémon and keep this board. Then every idiot fan of other monster franchises coming here trying to stupidly take over it can be told to go there.

>>59357637
>not like this board has any good threads anyway

Your wilful ignorance is apparent from even just a glance at this boards.

>>59357685
>an extreme amount of things to talk about
Is that why everyday it’s the same genwar and coom threads regurgitated?

Won what? All I see is gooners crying it's still nowhere near as popular as Pokémon, despite them shilling it for free.
Turns out soulless slop will always pale in comparison, who knew? Well, anyone with a modicum of intelligence, actually.

>>59357546
Pokemon always wins

It's funny how much that game make diehard Pokémon fans seethe. You are allowed to enjoy both Pokémon and Palworld lol

>>59357748
Cope. Pal world fans are opps

this board has less posts per day than /adv/ even with all the browns spamming ai threads

brown esl, no (you)

Bump

Trvke

>>59357632
I actually agree.
Especially considering /v/ and /vg/ have notorious mods that think anything that stands on two legs and isn't either big breastfed animus or no breastfed animus deserves to be in /trash/.

palworld WON

Only Pokemon Colosseum 3 can save us!

>>59357710
You've just described the reality, and it's hard to hear

>>59357546
based

>>59357632
That would actually be a good move. Monster hunter stories, digimon, palworld, pokemon, SMT, maybe others.

>>59357546
>>59360968
it's a good thing, hope pokemon competitors do even better so gamefreak finally gets a grip

>>59357632
No.
You faggots lost.
If you want a board go shit up /v/ and /a/ until they decide to kick you out and give you land.

I love Palworld.
What's the best Pals-like game in the Pocket Monster series that I should try out first?

>>59360976
This. We earned the right to shitpost with wild abandon on our own board. The fact none the "pokémon killers" succeeded in actually building a sperg collective great enough to piss off the greater volume of greater autistic shitbags on this arsehole of the internet we call home shows how little impact they have on life in general.

Why did mhs 3 die so fast? i forgot existed

If we compare this to Reddit, which has both a forum for Pokemon and Palworld, we see that Pokemon has 1.4M weekly visitors and over 21K weekly contributors, even though we're in a lull with no main game until the end of 2027. Meanwhile, Palworld has around 250K weekly visitors and 9.8K weekly contributors, despite an announcement for update 1.0 and numerous new features and pals being revealed or leaked.

Then you have people wondering why it's Pokémon that has a forum on 4chan and not Palworld. Pokémon wins, but the 2-3 schizo who spam all day are in denial.

Pokemon Gen 1 sold 6 million copies in TWO years back in the mid to late 90s, Palword sold 8 million copies on Steam alone in one week. Granted, gaming and the bar of entry are very low and easy to get into now, but those are still big numbers, and they're translated into a sizeable real fanbase.

We can say that yes, Pokemon is bigger, but Palworld isn't small either and has demonstrated that there is a large market for "Pokemon... but done well and more", because let's face it, Pokemon has only ever competed with itself.

Digimon, Monster Rancher, and others were always different enough. But Pokemon was almost never in direct competition with these franchises. No other game has so blatantly flown so close to the Pokemon company sun.

In the long run, I feel this is a win for us, the end users/gamers. Pokemon finally has something somewhat similar to compete against, because let's face it, Pocket Pair is going to make Palworld "2" a thing, and people WILL be comparing it to WiWa.

>The "p" in /vp/ stands for Palworld btw
I went outside and no one was saying this.
Then I went to the beach and put a shell up to my ear. Suddenly, thousands of voices were saying this.

>>59357632
I've wanted it to be /mon/ for like a decade now, I got banned for talking about fossil fighters so many daggum times

>>59357546
See it's faggoty shitposts with reddit frog like this that are very effective in making me want to hate Palworld despite liking it, only because sharty faggots like you are associating yourselves with it.

>>59357632
>MY DIGISHIT FRANCHISE NEEDS ATTENTION!!!
No.

>>59363374
>Weak minded

Pokémon smells bad

>>59357632
it really should
i want to discuss other monster collector games
dokev and roco kingdom world look really promising

>>59360970
this honestly
winds and waves look great, and it's partly thanks to palworld being a thing
competition is good

>>59360982
Just play Ark or Rust. Pokemon games don't play very similarly to palworld

>>59364574
No, WW looks better because it's a Switch 2 exclusive, which is a much more powerful handheld console than the Switch 1.

>>59357549
>Pokemon
Looks like one topic to me.

>>59364591
don't be daft, tons of switch 1 games looked better than both gen 8 and gen 9 AND look better than ww. This is consistent: gf is not good at developing games.

>>59357549
/vp/ is a containment board so /v/ doesn't get the genwarring and /a/ doesn't get the flood of pdfs and furries

>>59364638
You're off-topic, use your brain for two minutes. The more powerful a console you give them, the better the result will be, regardless of their skills or development time.

>>59364711
that doesn't increase linearly and the only time they ever put extra effort into visuals is when they feel they have a competitor

>>59364742
Palworld is not a competitor of Pokemon.
What you're saying is wrong; in every era, we observe that whenever Game Freak develops on a more powerful console, they take advantage of it (even if they have always been a little behind other big licenses on the same platform).

>Fan complaints about bugs and the games' appearance predated the release of Palworld.
>The Switch 2 is much more powerful and allows you to do much better.
Graphical improvement was inevitable, with or without Slopworld in such a context.

>>59364781
>Palworld is not a competitor of Pokemon
stopped reading there, because you are arguing disingenuously. Kill yourself.

>>59365284
It isn’t. Pokémon’s competitors are Hello Kitty and Disney.

>>59365314
retard

>>59365284
Yes, it's not a competitor. The only thing they have in common is the bestiary and the spheres for catching monsters. And these similarities are due to the fact that they tried to make bootlegs, because this studio doesn't know how to do anything else.
So unless you consider Ark a competitor to Pokémon (which is completely absurd), it's far too flimsy to call it a competition, and everything else is very different.

Even limiting ourselves to what resembles Pokémon, namely the designs of the Pals, with such a soulless monster design philosophy, akin to frequently ripping off existing models, I don't see how one can be a competitor to the one being copied, especially when indirectly dependent on Pokémon. Lacking one's own identity and being merely a shadow of something greater doesn't seem viable.

>>59365314
In terms of sales value, especially for pop culture merchandise, maybe yes. In other aspects, not really.

>>59365357
>In terms of sales value
These are the only terms that matter.

>>59365326
Until Palworld poses a financial threat to any Pokemon game, it is not a competitor. No amount of cope will change this simple fact.

>>59365366
For Hello Kitty, Pokemon, and Disney, it's difficult to find anything else they have in common besides their profits from merchandise aimed at children and collectors.
