You can love Pokemon AND Palworld

[Eoraptor]

It seems like since Palworld has come out there has been a huge divide of "Pokenerds" and everyone else. However, I'm here to say, you can love Pokemon and Palworld at the same time and that's okay!

As many of us, I grew up with Pokemon...I'm old enough to remember when Pokemon first came out, I lived through that initial craze and it was awesome. I played Pokemon, collected Pokemon, watched Pokemon, etc...and for the most part I still do to this day (I'm not going to mention my age, but needless to say I'm of an age that most people look at liking a "kids" show as...childish).

Palworld, though not exactly what you'd consider "Adult" is considerable more adult than Pokemon....Pokemon is great, I love it...but it's nice to have something, at the very least, a little closer to my age range. And look, I get it...it's all about loving you Pokemon and taking care of them...being the best of friends...and that's a wonderful thing...I full agree and support loving everyone and making all the friends...but there's something to also be said about simple unapologetic violence (only in video games). It's fun...and that's okay too...you can admit it's fun, admitting Palworld is fun, does not detract from your best Pokefriend that you grew up with...it does not lesson him/her/it.

So, the tl;dr...you can love Pokemon and Palworld...it is not a closed relationship...if you give it a try, you may just find...you like it too. So stop all the hate, there's no animal cruelty here (you can't be cruel to digital fantasy creatures that do not and have never existed), it is not killing off Pokemon, and where as it clearly did take inspiration from Pokemon it has not stolen their copyright. So....Lets just all be PALS!

The "divide" is primarily just the nasty nasty part of that fanbase, it's all over the place because that small percentage is still utterly MASSIVE in it's own right.

Either that or it's people who dont care about pokemon simply baiting.
