10 Lessons Pokémon Needs To Learn From Palworld

How difficult, truly, can it be to introduce a method of filtering between owned Pokémon with varying parameters? Why, dear Game Freak, are we forever resigned to having to sift through hundreds of catches in search of a single individual when said database could contain multiple of the same Pokémon that, at a glance, look completely identical?

Admittedly, Palworld doesn't have to accommodate for over a thousand different species but that's neither here nor there. Niantic has proved perfectly capable of providing an option to sort 'Mons by power level, type, and date of acquisition with Pokémon Go, so if said options are available on mobile, there's little justifiable reason why Game Freak can't follow suit on the markedly more powerful Switch. Likewise, even Pokémon Home, official software intended to house gigantic collections hailing from multiple generations, provides more options than is available in mainline titles.

Players shouldn't have to use periphery software and the like just to better organize what, at this point, is a mega zoo of digital animals.
