I just wonder if maybe the folks at Game Freak need some iron grip or competition (Palworld) to get the results that were so consistent before maybe Gen 6. I don’t know for sure though, I can only guess what happened to one of my favorite franchises

These two are so similar in my opinion-
In general I think about drawing more franchises mixed together in a drawing for a reason or two.

I've tried to limit it to games I've played at least 3 games in that I really love, so series with only 1 or 2 games aren't included. I also haven't included any franchises that started out as a non-videogame franchise. I don't count Tony Hawk in that because before THPS he wasn't a franchise

So, I obviously recommend this game, but you absolutely need to play these in order to make it worth it.

They're short games, 8 hours or less each.

But as a story, and as a game experience, they're rewarding in ways a lot of game franchises aren't.
