Saw an image that the latest pokemon games only sold like 27 Million while Palworld has like 32 million downloads confirmed, so in a way it has kind of outsold the latest pokemon games, kind of, the game has no DRM and it's on gamepass (which last time when palworld announced it sold 15M copies, 5M of those downloads are from gamepass so chances are that a big chunk of Palworld's purchases come from gamepass).
Either way, pokemon's not being replaced any time soon, but it would be funny to see LegendsZA flop
