That’s the thing, it doesn’t matter if your game has world class graphics, diversity, originality, innovation, or is made by a great team of people, all that matters is that playing it IS FUN. Seems all these studios are forgetting that part.
Normal gameplay is fun if it wasn’t it wouldn’t sell 20M copies every release. People like to dunk on pokemon and there are many reasons to but they are still fun to play for millions of people.
It being pokemon helps it sell as well, though especially for kids I bet it being pokemon is more important than gameplay for wanting the games. It being the pokemon brand reallys helps to sell the games.
Though yeah fun is subjective so I'm sure a bunch of people who buy it do find the gameplay fun. Or some parts of it.

Palworld.
It is a very blatant ripoff of Ark with slave labour put in.
This isn't the first time nor the last time Pocketpair have made something that rips off something else
oh yea, they also made an AI art game
