Palworld, an ARK-like game described as Pokemon with guns, has seen concurrent player numbers swell into record-breaking territory this week. But according to execs behind the game the team is not celebrating, choosing rather to spend the time preparing for an attack from their most feared enemy: Hbomberguy.

But it actually is possible to make a monster-collecting game with original designs though. Just look at monster rancher, none of the monsters from that game look like pokemon. It had a very distinct style.

I think pokemon has just monopolized this genre for far too long, which makes it harder for people making this sort of game to imagine something different.

A monster game with designs like the angels in NGE would be really cool. Get weird with the narrative.
