Oh the premise is the same but the difference is I can't go stab my Pikachu, cut it up, then turn it into soup because I got bored. Pokemon still has kid gloves on it to where nobody dies, injuries are superficial, and everything gets better with a visit to a special building. Palworld shatters that and goes "Hey, fellow psychopaths, you can now enslave and butcher all those friendly creatures you grew up with!" like all of us were just fucking drooling at the chance to murder cute animals. Clearly I'm the weird one because I never grew up thinking the Pokemon should be killable.
