Temtem[0] comes to mind. Remove power points per move, add stamina costs and reserve per pokemon; remove RNG (crits, random secondary effects); change up the type advantages, remove types, add types. The story even has a competent and reasonably threatening adversarial group! I haven't beat the main story but it's seems promising so far. It is otherwise remarkably similar to a main series pokemon games, in particular the metroidvania-like "movement ability gating", e.g., a surfboard for traveling on water.
But if one prefers Palworld to Pokemon, I'd suspect they'd also prefer Palworld to Temtem; the game play in Temtem is much more similar to main series Pokemon.
