Who would've guessed that after catching and battling Pals, we'd be taking them on dates next Pocketpair's commitment to genre-blending chaos is both baffling and low-key genius. Honestly, the idea of balancing survival mechanics with romance sim drama sounds like the perfect recipe for either a masterpiece or a beautiful disaster—either way, I'm grabbing popcorn.
