While Pokemon has better sales and is more renowned, Shin Megami Tensei is Pokemon for adults. It has superior gameplay and more depth.
Even if Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have not yet completed their first anniversary, it is possible to predict exactly when Gen 10 is arriving.
The Nerd Stash: "There's been a lot of talk about Pokemon and Palworld recently, but if anything, Pokemon's new competition should be a sign to change."
Fortunately for Nintendo, the legal team is separate from Game Freak’s development team.
they do tho .. IF there is something to sue for. IP infringement is such a delicate thing.
but absolutely agree on the change
That, have longer dev time, and absolutely get rid of Nintendo as the exclusive platform. Imagine a AAA pkmn game on current consoles or next generation.
But money, they'll make billions with little effort.
Idk yall. I'd take a Pokémon jrpg over a Pokémon with guns, online play etc. Plus wasn't Pokémon mobile pretty fking big like 4 years ago then covid hit.
No they don't I don't want any of the gameplay anywhere near Pokemon the only link between them is the idea of Pokemon except there's guns you enslave humans and Pokemon and there's a survival aspect.
Pokemon is fairly family friendly can't see Nintendo going ok let's give them m16s and slaughter each other
The Pokemon Company has finally made an official statement regarding Palworld, saying, "We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokémon."
English translation provided on page.
Nintendo and GameFreak are best served by not commenting at all and just focusing on making the next Pokémon as good as it can be. Also what exactly are they gonna investigate? Are they gonna try to get the game taken down and sue the devs?
They're upset because someone is upstaging them. So sad to see they actually have some competition and can't just keep putting minimal effort into their titles going forward.
The harsh reality of this is that Palworld would have been nothing if GameFreak and Nintendo were living up to the potential of the Pokemon property.
All I can really see here is the laziness and incompetence of the pokemon developers at play.
Seems like we have some competition and Nintendo doesn't like it, because now they may need to put some effort into their Pokemon games. People were starving for a great Pokemon game and never got one, which is partially why Palworld is as successful as it is, while also adding other game mechanics which mesh so well.
should’ve investigate why the most profitable entertainment IP in the world only managed to release games with subpar quality like scarlet and violet
The SMT series is great. Wish it was more popular.
SMT is one of my favorites. Persona is good but I like the series proper better. Definitely like it better than Pokemon now that I've grown up, but both are great. Excited to start SMT IV Apocalypse.
SMT came first. by a while. so really Pokemon is SMT for kids.
" It has superior gameplay and more depth."
No, it has different gameplay, and, at best, comparable depth.
Both are series that adult gamers can, and frequently do, enjoy; to chalk up Pokèmon as merely a kids game, is an opinion formed in deep ignorance of just how deep the EV training and other factors have become in Pokemon in recent years.
It's not much different, in how incorrect it is, than calling Pokèmon a kids game based solely upon the art styles used.
SMT is a great series, but this article's header sounds less like a serious attempt at evaluating either series, and more like an attempt at stirring up controversy between the two groups.
Something that has been happening FAR too often on this site, in the wake of the NX's upcoming release, to be mere coincidence.
Digimon Cyber Sleuth is the kids SMT game
