@user11818181834@gurucollects Explain very clearly how it competes with Pokemon please ☺️
Pokemon sold 5 times as much as One Piece did last year. In Japan ALONE. I'm sure you won't come back to me with any actual explanation though!
@malinformer@user11818181834@gurucollects At most the lawsuit suggests they view Palworld the video game as competition. It says absolutely nothing about whether an unreleased Palworld tcg can compete with the Pokémon tcg. You’re just jumping between completely different products and calling it evidence.
@malinformer@user11818181834@gurucollects Yes, and? That literally proves my point. Nintendo takes legal action over perceived IP infringement, not because everything they target is a serious competitor. Palworld being sued over patents is not evidence that its unreleased TCG is going to rival Pokémon lmao.
@malinformer@user11818181834@gurucollects I guess all of those tiny fan games that make no money that Nintendo DMCA on the regular are competitors too huh. I’m not the one arguing on emotion. I’m the one being realistic lmao
@malinformer@user11818181834@gurucollects It's not reductive at all, it's an apt comparison. Palworld will never ever reach Pokemon. You're delusional to think otherwise. Christ, Palworld's concurrent on Steam hasn't even reached 50% of what it was when the half-baked ver launched 2 years ago.
@malinformer@user11818181834@gurucollects It's also possible that in 50 years my local pub team will rise through leagues and win the Champions League. That is to say, literally anything is entirely possible. Not an argument. Won't happen.
@malinformer@user11818181834@gurucollects But that's not a relevant factor. The argument is that Palworld somehow has a chance at competing with Pokemon in the TCG market because they have 800k concurrent on PC? Okay, and? Pokemon GO has 5+ million daily active players. Pokemon mainline games sell 25+ million every year.
@user11818181834@gurucollects One Piece isn't relevant to this discussion. And no, it is not even remotely close to Pokemon either, and never will be.
Players =/= sales. Will the TCG be successful? Yeah, likely. It won't ever reach even 1/10th of Pokemon sales though, let alone compete with them.
@user11818181834@gurucollects Highest concurrent… on Steam*.
Important asterisk. And it will rapidly fall just as it did after its initial release. None of these video game TCG spinoffs EVER compete with Pokémon and they never will.
