Pokemon is soon celebrating 28 years since the franchise was first established, probably releasing new trailers and announcements about upcoming games on Pokemon Day. Pokemon games are monster-collecting at its finest, and for a long time, some fans wanted the series to have competition - enter Palworld, a new title from Pocket Pair that uses cute Pokemon-like critters to help players build structures and survive in the wilds. While Palworld and Pokemon games are hardly comparable on a gameplay level, with the former gaining the nickname of "Pokemon with guns," Pocket Pair's new early access release does share quite a lot of DNA with Nintendo's franchise, to the point that there's a huge controversy brewing.
