What damages? The combat system at the core of Pokemon bores the everliving shit out of me, and despite multiple attempts I have never been able to get into a pokemon game. Palworld is a completely different type of gameplay that I do enjoy, and buying palworld didn't impact my likelihood of buying a pokemon game in the future

Hmm shall we start implementing better ideas, game mechanics and not release buggy poorly optimised games to win gamers back from competition? No, let’s sue instead.

Please let Nintendo actually lose.
