Palworld is a deeply annoying kind of game to watch get popular but if through some freak event it actually gets big enough to make Game Freak a little bit less complacent that wouldn't be the worst thing
I'm not going to shed any tears about 5E/d20 being a less prominent core mechanic/system in the TTRPG space. Also I think VTTs make it way, way easier to play unfamiliar mechanical systems than ever before.
A/D&D has had the majority of market share for literally my entire life.
