Ah yes... the core players of checks notes a general purpose RPGs where the major progression is higher stats as you progress through the game are going to leave for a checks notes survival crafting game with RPG elements where the major progression is getting better and more powerful gear, mainly by finding the crafting ingredients in the world.
Correct, people have been waiting for the Pokemon games to do something, anything different or interesting for decades. They finally got about halfway there with Legends Arceus' concept and then for some reason decided to take a huge step backward with Legends Z-A. Mainline games are even worse, to the extent that they might as well still be getting ported to the original Game Boy. For that matter, you could make them wholly text-based and the experience would be fundamentally the same (not to mention have far fewer bugs/performance issues).
Not necessarily, there were already a ton of turn-based Pokemon-likes available before Palworld entered early access, and none of them captured an audience even half as big. RPG is a genre that casts a very wide net now, and Palworld has plenty of RPG elements despite having survival-crafting elements too.
there is an upcoming Palworld Mobile game
Honnestly, if Pokemon kept the crafting mechanics of Legends Arceus, improved it, and made it a core mechanic for a new spin-off license (Pokemon Legend), it would probably have become my favorite spin-off license. Just Mystery Dungeon spin-off has Dungeon Crawling/Rogue-like as its core mechanics, if they had Crafting (And maybe some Survival) as the core mechanics for Legend spin-off, I feel like it would actually have some potential.
Well, judging by what you said...
There is no "assumption" of my own. Anyone who sees this will think the same since you quoted someone who only said "it peaked at nearly one million concurrent players". Everyone will think the same. Which is that you said it like it was a bad thing.
Do you even know wtf the word assumption means? Because you're literally trying to tell me what the intention in MY own comment was. You're conflating your interpretation with what I actually wrote. I never said a drop to 50k would be bad, nor did I say post-launch declines are abnormal. I said the player count would likely fall because that's what launch spikes usually do. If you inferred that I meant it was a bad thing, that's an inference, not something I stated. Also, "Everyone will think the same" isn't even an argument. It's just assuming that your interpretation is universal. My comment was a prediction about where the player count would settle, not a claim that a decline is unusual or that 50k would be a failure.
When you have to use a Turning Point meme to try to insult a person, you've already lost the argument long before it even started. But now I know why you're the way you are. Thanks for helping me understand why you're a fucking idiot.
P.S. If you weren't here to start an argument, perhaps you shouldn't have started an argument? Seems like a pretty simple concept. Although simple concepts are usually completely lost on people that support things like Turning Point.

@Noctosphere So zero actual intelligent rebuttal of any sort whatsoever. Gee. How did I ever guess that would happen? Fucking stupid uneducated cunt. Another piece of shit to add to my ignore list to make this a better place to be.
