I honestly don't get the hatred besides speculation this might be AI generated - I have yet to see proof of the claim besides the "it took too little to make all the 100 Pals" all in the same breath as "they ripped off Pokémons" and considering people are starting to throw around the accusation to everything and everyone, I'll wait for concrete evidence before throwing a spear their way.
I'm pretty sure the low development time on designs maybe comes from them being Fakemons. There's 100 of them and some have variations of their elements (Broncherry, Broncherry Aqua, Relaxosaurus, Relaxosaurus Lux, Jolthog, Jolthog Cryst, Mau, Mau Cryst) and the rest of the assets are semi-recycled from Craftopia (which people were mad about because it took heavy inspiration from Breath of the Wild).
If there is one thing I need to concede is that the studio behind this game and Craftopia tends to take very popular ideas that sold well in the past and make them on PC - which was what Pokémon was lacking as a market.
That said, it's a dumb fun game to play with friends where you mix up ARK style gameplay with Craftopia/survival-genre adjacent mechanics.
Playing it on GamePass at the moment. Would honestly play this rather than the shameful Open World experience in Scarlet/Violet.

This was the experience for me: none of the other MMORPGs I had played until that point and the ones I played after ever came close to the same hype and love I poured into this game.
The story was unique and seasonal events built upon the overall lore of the world while establishing canonicity to some of the larger speculations (take "The Seven Silences" or "The Meowing"), reinforced the presence of entities we had only glimpsed at before.
It's such a shame it ended how it ended. It was janky and poorly maintained but it was my neglected child.

Amazing artstyle coupled with a fluent and vibrant gameplay and dotted with NPCs with their own motives and reasons. Despite taking artistic liberties in their designs, it's so easy to tell at a glance which God an NPC is supposed to be (aside from being outright told to you).
I haven't gotten around to finish it but it's still one of the best rougelites out there.
