Could Pokémon Legends ZA be Nintendo's answer to Palworld?

[Blk_Mage_Ctype]

The game's description:

"A new adventure awaits within Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is underway to shape the city into a place that belongs to both people and Pokémon."

Could this be a teaser that the game will feature building/crafting mechanics or am I just reading too deeply into it?

At any rate, the game isn't set for release until 2025 and at this time has only been announced for the Nintendo Switch, so it's not like it would be direct competition, but still, it will be interesting to see if Palworld influenced the development of Pokémon Legends ZA. Obviously it has been a runaway success, so it wouldn't be too surprising if Nintendo/Gamefreak decided to experiment by introducing a similar game as a spinoff.

You should have asked them yourself when they sent you here to post this dumbass thread.

OP is a necromancer or a time-traveler.

I'll be honest no one care they'll just re-use their stuff once again and released a buggy mess.

You should go to Nintendo forums if you want to talk about a nintendo game.

Honestly I don’t care

[WonderSparks]

I'll admit I'm morbidly curious how such an endeavor might turn out, but I'm certainly not expecting anything worth my while, never mind my money.
(Good thing I never wasted my money on a Switch)

Nah it's not an answer to anything. Gamefreak's incapable of making anything besides a turnbased RPG. As long as that constant remains they'll never make anything that appeals to the people who like Palworld's gameplay.

Something else you should remember is that by the time a game gets announced it's already been in development for years. They probably started development shortly after the first Legends game came out.

Darn it, why didn't I think of that? I could have asked Nintendo whom I'm obviously gainfully employed by when they assigned me to come here and post this thread to advertise a possible feature which they themselves neglected to mention when they announced the game themselves.

Alas, I'm just not as clever as you. I mean, you caught me, figured out exactly what I was sent here to do, and foiled our whole viral marketing campaign on a platform where the game isn't even going to be sold in the first place all in one fell swoop.

*sigh* There goes my bonus...

no

[Moodyman90]

Until we see more about the game itself, no. And for it to be then they would have to dramatically pivot a game they've probably been working on for over a year now. If anything the NEXT game would be a response to Palworld and even then that's if they even care.

Can't they both exist in together? I would love to see Pokemon fans get a good game, and Palworld just be Palworld.

No they can't since pokemon games don't come on PC, thus Palworld got no competition, not that pokemon would even stand a chance since PC gamers have some standards that nintendo can't attain.

Wow Elitist Much? and You're incorrect PC Gamers would eat up older Nintendo Titles if they could buy them legally. So I'm stuck emulating them, on my steam deck

[Deadoon]

A pokemon reburst game would probably be closer to a proper response.

ZA might be good, but time will tell.

Unfortunately, Nintendo still hasn't figured out that for all the millions of dollars they're making, they could be making even more if they released their games on multiple platforms.

Honestly, it's not like it would affect sales of the Switch much since it still has a niche as a portable system, and even if Nintendo didn't want to release their games on Steam, they could always just make their own platform.

If that were true, then Nintendo Emulators on PC wouldn't be so popular and Bethesda wouldn't be successful on PC.

I strongly doubt it. Nintendo knows Pokemon will still sell regardless of it's quality. Pokemon Legends ZA will just be Pokemon Legends Arceus just with a Pokemon X and Y skin.
