What Pokémon Can LEARN From Palworld 

"This thing is Piplup." Yes, it's called a penguin.

3:17 "You don't get attached to Pals in Palworld" strangely this is what i felt with pokemon because mostly the only bonding time you could get was when you fight together.

people also believe that Pokemon created the monster taming/catching genre, when in fact it didn't, that honor goes to shin megami tensei series, so atlus started the genre, also, game freak doesn't want to hite more people because they don't want to lose their indie developer status, and yes, they are still an indie studio

What the pokemon company can learn from palworld: stop rushing the devs and just let them work Like seriously, just make some more charizard merch. You'll make your money anyway.

I think you can get more attached to pals than Pokémon IMO, simply from the fact that you have more than just your party in palworld. In pokemon, you're really only getting attached to like 6 pokemon at a time and past the 6th catch, someone's going in the box and chances are they're not coming back out. Palworld has your party of 5 plus 1-3 bases with like 15 pals each. In palworld, if i want to just chill and spend time with my creatures, I'll just walk around my bases where theres 15 of them hanging out and living their lives and doing different things. What's the equivalent in pokemon, looking through the static sprites in the pc? Taking 6 pokemon out at a time for a picnic and letting them roam in a circle with a 15 foot radius? What Palworld does right is it lets you actually care for the pals. You can work towards nicer beds, food, build them houses and they take part in that process with you. We don't even get wallpapers for the pc boxes that look like environments anymore, so the pc just becomes limbo for pokemon. It was nice being able to organize them by the scenery they'd be found in and pretend the pc was a nice simulated environment.

The first thing Pokemon can learn is how to realse a non-buggy game.

3:17 "You don't get attached to Pals in Palworld" This keeps getting brought up by Pokephiles (Nathan S; Behaviour Interactive "DbD"). Being attached to a virtual creature is wholly up to the player. At the end of the day if you aren't attached that is on you. A skill issue if you will. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to take the first Lamball I caught, Ser Wiggletuff the Slacker, and steamroll a boss with Dragon Meteor.

Finally someone said something about the insanity of blaming companies for promoting animal abuse ....AND NOT ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT THEMSELVES!!!

Pokemon is the best example in the industry of the law of least effort, there is literally no other franchise that can get away with such low product quality, and that is the problem here. The games will never improve because sales continue to increase no matter what, it's literally the consumer's fault, it's that simple.

By the way, the thing you said about evolutions, uh, I feel like Palworld does not need evolutions, it actually makes each individual Pal feel more special, plus even the weaker Pals can still do really well in late game compared to certain Pokémon in Pokémon that are non-evolving ones. It actually plays out well in terms of balancing, in the end.

20:36 Fun fact Witches are associated with foxes in Japan like how we in the West associate Witches with cats which is why their both fox witches

Palworld not having evolutions is an improvement. Evos suck as a concept if you enjoy the designs of the base forms. Like instead of Pengullet becoming Penking, If I like Pengullet then I can max it out and make it just as potent if not moreso than Penking.

Adding insult to injury, the Pocketpair developers came out in an interview and said that they created Palworld with little-to-no coding and game design experience lol

one of the first palworld videos ive seen that isnt atrociously biased lol

No bro, I actually do want a Pokemon game that isn't turn based, and allows me to build my own farm and house. We've seen so many moments of that occurring in the Pokemon anime for decades, seeing electric Pokemon aiding with power companies, seeing rock type Pokemon aiding in building construction and so on. I really would like to play a Pokemon game where I actually get to help build a community. Think of it like Pokemon x Animal Crossing, only it's us and our Pokemon helping to build towns/villages and watching them grow, watching Pokemon grow alongside their trainers and being able to interact with both. All Pokemon can do in it's current trajectory is simply add more Pokemon, slightly spruce up the graphics and introduce yet another gimmick or two that'll be forgotten by the next gen (oh and the game will still feature turn based combat). I'm not asking for Pokemon with guns, but I am asking for a game where we get to actually build a bond and do more than just battling/beauty pageants.

I'm a huge fan of both Palworld and Pokemon and I agree with this video so much! It's just sad to see both fandoms going at each other's throats: Pokemon fans dissing on Palworld for having similar inspiration for their Pals and Palworld fans immediately thinking that you're one of those Pokemon fans just because you mentioned that you love Pokemon. I still play the Pokemon games, but I have to agree that Pokemon really has to step up their game. Pokemon is fun, but Palworld just feels like a breath of fresh air as compared to a game with the same fighting mechanic but just different story plot. Oh, and Palworld despite its success still having a very responsive player support while Pokemon takes like 2 weeks to respond to any bugs (if at all) just shows how much Palworld cares about its fans. Pokemon, what are you doing? It's such a shame that an indie game developer is able to show more love and response to their player base than a millionaire company.

at this point Scarlet and Violet's trash frame rate is a feature and not a bug

@3:33, little correction there in case nobody else mentions this: Alpha pals are the world bosses, like Kingpaca, Luckies are the shiny equivalents who are boss sized and have a shimmering effect before capture, usually coming with an off-type move that's really strong and having the Lucky trait. Alpha pals also have the red boss symbol once captured, Luckies don't

What people don't realize is that digimon is older than Pokemon 👀

Palworld was in development twice as long as the typical pokemon game, actually used their budget, is made on unreal engine, and is on devices a lot more powerful than the switch If tpci allowed gamefreak enough time to make the games, people wouldn't complain, but they are forced to divide into making 2 teams to make 2 games in 3 years(like Legends and ScarVi) ITs not gamefreak's fault, it's the greedy higher ups who only care about money

What I thing palworld does better is pal behavior, I just want a pokemon to act like it's self aware. In palworld if you treat pal badly it could get depress and I think it's neat that I actually have to take care of my pal.

If they make a pal world artbook i would buy it

27:04 "Then hire more people" No, you don't understand, that means they have to spend more money, giving people jobs so they can get paid and live. That's not what big companies want, that's awful.

Pokémon could implement a having base where Pokémon do tasks and it could be a passive way to ev train and build friendship. They don’t need to go full on survival but I just want more ways to interact with my Pokémon that’s not battling. Palworld is closer to the Pokémon anime in terms of interaction with your creature than Pokémon does which is sad.

I’ve been a pokemon diehard fan for the past 10 years, palworld was my dream game. After experiencing palworld with my friends i simply couldn’t return to pokemon, palworld had me feeling so immersed. I even get to see my pals co exist and work together, i get so attached to them, taking a pal out of my team that has been there since the start doesn’t mean it will dust in a box anymore, i still get to live with it. All the battles are so epic and I feel like im taking a part in it, and that my skill matters. I love this game.

And consider that *Palworld* is only getting bigger day after day, it already sold 19 Million copies as of Feb 6 🎮🤯

I want PalWorld to add more digimon inspired pals. Also evolutions But this game also has a lot of potential for crossovers They should do some with monster hunter, digimon, monster ranch, digimon, etc

I actually like that the pals don't "evolve", it gives them individuality. I can't tell you how many pokemon I like that get overshadowed by their relatives

Quite frankly these games are so different I'm surprised people think they're actually in competition with eachother.

14:14 Aigis jumpscare

Actually I have a theory on why pokemon took a nosedive in recent years: the death of Satoru Iwata. The last game he worked on was the RSE remakes. The first game where he didn't work on it was Sun and Moon. It's known that the pokemon franchise was actually kind of fucked before he came on the team with Gold and Silver, and with his death the series began to sink in quality again. Iwata managed to optimize so much, and it's clear that the devs relied on him with how the games after his passing stink so hard by comparison.

How I think Pokemon can improve its gameplay loop is lean into its RPG. Have quests that requires you to catch and use different pokemon skills. A farmer wants his hens to to reproduce? Catch and give him a male chicken-like pokemon. Some kid lost his pet in a junkyard? Use a pokemon with detection skills. House on fire? Send out your water Pokemon. You can even provide multiple solutions to these quests like in Baldur's Gate 3 if you want. (No, HM path blocking is boring). Basically give the player a reason to be called a Pokemon master, not just Pokemon Battles master.

I have even more respect for you. Realizing the differences between the game and seeing its not all that comparable while being a Pokemon RU-vidr is admirable. It's like people unironically calling Terraria "2D Minecraft". I play and enjoy both Pokemon and Palworld. They're both good games. Also, after hearing that last guy, I got a question for the community: Lovander or Salazzle?

Almost entirely agreed. The reaction of the vocal Pokemon fans who are defensive against Palworld is ridiculous. We're not shareholders in Nintendo, Gamefreak, or the Pokemon Company so we don't have reason to get very defensive over it. If a lawsuit does happen, go ahead and form opinions, I guess, but if this indie developer took some creature design cues from the biggest fish out there, I don't particularly care. It doesn't harm me to have more choices of games or game types to play within the creature collecting "genre". Pokemon has so many designs, you could hardly create a creature catching game without having some that look similar at least coincidentally anyway. The one point I think was under-emphasized (but you do hit on it) is how well-integrated Palworld's gameplay loop is compared to Pokemon. Pokemon has a tendency to introduce features that actually just grind your quest to a halt while you focus on something else. Contests and hidden bases in the Hoenn games; the underground in Sinnoh; and camping in Galar spring to mind. Some of the later ones make them an alternate way of building experience, but those features don't tend to have end goals and really just makes the main quest easier rather than making you actually build progress towards what you're trying to do. Pokemon has only ever managed to use the reward of an easier game to build progress, which makes its standard JRPG gameplay feel all the more tedious. RPG battles becoming easier don't, in my experience, tend to make them more fun. It's usually the other way around. Meanwhile, in Palworld, everything is progress or player expression. Goals are more open-ended and fluid. It's not like you're shifting between doing the main quest and side content, everything is a facet of building progress to whatever you're trying to do.

Pokémon’s marketing is about being friends with Pokemon, yet the game marketed as putting your pals into sweatshops makes me feel more attached. Clearly something is wrong

Palworld seems like a really good game that needs to change up a few designs to make them more original Grass-type Cinderace I'm looking at you.

Tbh i watched thie and u were very mature about this topic........its good to know that ur a normal person that has "Common sense" that alot of the world seems to lack nowadays Aka twitter💀

2:28 Yeah about that breeding mechanic. Turns out that almost any male pal can breed with almost any female pal, and such cross breeding usually yields a new pal outright, rather than the same pal but a different type. There are some absolutely bonker combinations people found out to transfer certain traits all the way down to their favorites, kind of like SMT

Ah, yes. Nintendo now legally owns Lawnmowers, Tabby Cats, and every instance of fire.

Both Alpha pals and Lucky pals are variations on a Shiny variant. They are both bigger than ordinary pals of their species, as well as have higher stat growth potential. The main difference being that Alpha pals usually are bosses, and Lucky pals are naturally spawned pals with Lucky trait. Their offspring don't inherit their special status (sadly), though Lucky pals can give Lucky trait to theirs (new pals would be ordinary, but with Lucky trait). Also, Alpha cannot be Lucky and vice versa. That said, I love my Alpha Fenglope, despite me being able to breed better fenglopes trait-wise. It comes from appearance side, however. See, usual fenglopes are not big enough for character to ride on their back, and character ends up to ride on top of their plot (hindquarters area). With Alpha Fenglope, however, character is properly sitting on the back of the pal.

While the bugs mentioned are frustrating, I think a big thing to Palworld credit is this is the very bare bones early access, not the full game. Which only makes it more humiliating for game freak.

7:25 regarding 5 pals, you are the 6th. Also, this is no turn based battle, so you can fight and dodge along with your Pal or use them as a mount so you have full control of their abilities plus more.

"Something I find really strange about Palworld is that it has no evolutions for any of the pals" Well they did it so that it won't be copyright

There are a handful of laggy areas on a 6 year old computer. The bamboo forest is a slide show. Game Freak should be using an off-the-shelf game engine. Probably Unreal.

I don't really interact with Palworld content. Not only does some of the blatant ripping off of Pokemon designs rub me the wrong way, it's not the style of game I'm interested in

that last guy in the end is the one that made me laugh my ass off lol.

Man said "HAVE YOU SEEN A HEDGEHOG?!...are you stupid?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Finally, thank you for a non biased fake. As a Pokémon fan, I agree with a lot of this. And thank you for informing me about palworld more.

All I have to say is, Rogue, I'm glad you are trying to get the point across since both games can co-exist and gamefreak can indeed learn from palworlds achievements here. Plus I agree palworld isn't a ripoff,they may have similar designs sometimes but if they take their own spin on a design it can make it different, and if they want to keep pal concepts and stuff secret they can, both games are super enjoyable and I wish people would stop trying to compare one game to another, especially when game devs take different approaches to making games.P.s. you content is amazing. And i tried to speak my mind here :| hopefully i dont sound rude at all.

what palworld can learn from pokemon: dont die in one month

One thing I do somewhat hope Nintendo and the Pokemon Company learn from the success of Palworld is that I do hope we get more non-Free to Play Pokemon Spinoffs the covers different genres like CRPGs, Real Time Strategy, Turn Based Strategy (similar to Xcom or Marvels Midnight Suns), either a Roguelike (like Dead Cells) or a Time Loop game (like Deathloop or Majora's Mask). Obviously we wouldn't want these spinoffs being constantly released out like Call of Duty, Assassins Creed or Sports games but some variety would be nice.

It seem that every time someone brings up the which Pokémon that some pals are based on it is either close like yeah I for sure see the resemblance or it is stretching so hard to even try and find a match or something that is so mundane anyone could make the same thing based on the animal they are based on in the first place.

All these debates are constantly going left & right to no fucking end. I'm just gonna sit back and watch the fire spread.

I think the emptiness could be fixed with more NPCs in the settlements and maybe minor terraforming. I get that it needs to be open and vast to feel like the pals run the place, humans are the invasive species and give possibilities for you to put your base anywhere (you can put it anywhere, just that some spots are better than others). Maybe the empty buildings will have different types of NPCs like medics to heal us and our pals or something. It doesn't need to be as precise of terraforming as minecraft, but maybe something more like Dragon Quest Builders 1 and 2 where it's unlocked at a certain level and requires certain things to do certain terraforming and only certain parts of the map can be terraformed. That way, you don't get distracted trying to make it into Minecraft or have people trying to break the game by destroying settlements, but also give it a challenge to have to level up or get the right tools and pals to make minor changes to the landscape to make a good base location even better. I'd love to dig into the hills and make my base in tunnels or turn one of the big rocks in the desert into the main house or something.

7:24 fun fact, they do learn more than 3 moves at a time, you just have to click a move to swap for another move

Pokémon is my favorite franchise ever. So when seeing this tiny little monster catching indie game show up out of nowhere and outsell most Pokémon games, it made me kind of mad. On top of that it also "stole" from Ark (another one of my favorite games). For a while I was just d riding Pokémon but, this video actually makes me want to try out Palworld. Seeing I can set my biases aside for other monster catchers, maybe I can give this one a chance. (PLUS IT LOOKS SO FUN LMAO)

idk if it's the video or if YT is trolling me, but there was 2 ads every two minutes. im not exagerating. besides that it's good video

Pokemon has always been one of my favorite game series however I got to admit that palworld is great as well. It shows off a lot of what pokemon has been lacking and I am hoping that they are taking notes. The problem with pokemon is that is has become lazy due to a lack of actual competition and this might be what it takes for them to stop sitting around laughing at fans request and turning around and looking at set request seriously.

27:34 😅🤭. Yeah Pokémon doesn’t really need to be hyper realistic😅 but it wouldn’t hurt they talk about they can’t give us that type of game but in reality, they just don’t want to win they have games that are close to what we want in a Pokémon game Mario, Zelda, dragon, quest, monster, hunter, and many more

Pals can only use 3 moves, they however can learn all the moves. You can swap their moveset at anytime.

Oh uhh about that last bit about “dethroning pokemon” Palworld has officially out sold SV, so it beat one of their games, does this mean it will outright beat Pokemon? No but it is something to keep in mind

No matter what you think of palworld. I think it's hard to say it's a completely original game. Like seriously, to claim that this game is COMPLETELY original is straight up ridiculous. While I don't agree with most people's opinions on pals that were ripped off from pokemon, I will say it's not a good omen that pals look so similar to pokemon at all.

What Pokemon Can Learn from palworld 1. Taking longer time when making their game (just like gta 6) but the cost is people will believe they gonna pass away before it was released 2. Removing "E" Rate, allow them more freedom like torture and GUN and make them dies in realistic way, GTA SA remove their Hot coffee feature to stay "E"

3:20 you say shiny pals are just astetic... ignoring the fact that when you catch them they dont retain that shune y sparkily effect, and more importantly unlike pokemon, they arint just reskins, they have abilities the none shuny pals dont, you show this with B roll photage of a shiny chikipi shooting a giant lazer at you... something only possible with shiny versions or with skill fruit. also personal slow clap and thanks for including the sonic spin ball music, that will deeply touch me in my gamer soul, its one of three of the first games i ever played back in 1996, its actualy the music of my childhood, the whole sonic and sega genisus lybrary is.

I'm a fan of pokemon and i really like PalWorld because it's really fun even though the survival genre isn't exactly my favorite I'm having a lot of fun. And one of my favorite pals is Depresso because it's kinda relatable. And honestly i think both pokemon and Palworld can co exist. And the people that say that this game supports animal cruelty need to go outside and touch some grass because it's just up to the player what they'll do with their pals. I'm one of those players that doesn't like seeing that one of the pals in my base is hurt or sick because whenever i see that it's sick i look in my chests for medicine or craft it to heal it up and after tough battles or whenever one of the pals do their job, i pet them and there's an item that you can unlock and craft to butcher pals ehich replaces the pet option with butcher but i promised myself to nevwr ublock it because i love all if my pals. Especially my demonic goat boy Incineram he's my second most powerful pal dince the beginning. And for those who don't know: If you catch a Lucky pal it'll also havethe "Lucky' passive skill which gives it +15% to attack and work speed. And it can be passed down to other paps through breeding. Same with Legendary Pals. They also have their unique passive skill called Legend. I don't know what kind of boosts it give but it can also be passed down through breeding and yes legendaries in palworld can breed to make them better for fighting or working.

I'd say we need Pokemon to expand on how many times a pokemon can evolve, how many moves a pokemon can have and Pokemon should ALSO Cross bred and have fusions.

What I hate is that Gamefreak has proven themselves capable with legends Arceus but decide not to make a good game with S/V

This is a specific HEAD cannon and may be a little complex but here it's is: The reason why Bill made the Pokémon storage system is because when you deposit a Mon in his system he kinds of owns that pokemon and since ppl deposit shinies,legendaries and RARE Pokémon he gets bragging rights that he owned that Pokémon you deposited, and that's why people call bill "the guy with extremely rare Pokémon" AND THIS PROVES HE IS A FRAUD! k bye

I like watching other people on RU-vid play Palworld, but so far, I don’t think it’s for me. That could all change sometime in the future depending on how things go however. Right now, Pokémon is the one of the two that appeals to me more, and I’d like to see them figure things out as well, and if it takes some stronger competition to make it happen then so be it. Specifically, I don’t think that voice acting is as much of a necessity as people try to make it out to be, but I do think that actual dialogue choices that can affect gameplay or story could get many more people invested in it. I mean, so many people took a liking to characters like Arven because of his story, and that was without any voice acting. One aspect that I don’t really see changing though is the way battles take place, at least, not in its entirety. To me, it seems like keeping it simple is the plan. With the way things are, a four year old could pick up the game and not be overwhelmed by gameplay, and auto battling makes it even simpler. Regardless, things in Pokemon have always attempted to progress, but that takes time, the right tools, and the right people if we want anything drastic.

NAH, BRUH, THIS HAD ME DYING 30:47 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣THE END RESPONSE AND THE SLIDESHOW IMAGE GOT ME BRUH🤣🤣🤣

We got the Sakurajima update, and many new guns were added, some bugs got fixed, many new ore mines, new faction and island, and more!

Wish you could upgrade your Pals without the "Pal Blender" option. Maybe add an alternative (non-brutal) way, but make it more time consuming and tailored to upgrading just one Pal at a time for those that want a small, but powerful, team of Pals as there seems to be an underlying theme of treating your Pals properly, so adding a more humane way of upgrading Pals would fit with that story tone.

The lack of iconic music track you mentioned clearly tells me you haven't fought your first legendary in Palworld, else you'd say otherwise. There's actually plenty of beautiful soundtracks in the game besides the Legendaries' background music. Even the tower boss theme was amazing, where it builds up so much tension, especially if you tried doing your first Tower Boss while being underleveled. If only you pay more attention to it. Even a music producer who reviewed it was actually surprised with the quality of the tracks. FYI the composer for Palworld's track was the composer for the Atelier series, Tatsuya Yano.

"This is just Zorua and Clefairy" bro have you seen a cat before

“What Pokémon can learn from Palworld” ADD GUNS

Mascot Pikachu aren't Pretending as mice or mouse reminds me of Dumbo circus But unfortunately House mouse isn't the same as mice duh 🙄

According to effectively Japanese Glassdoor employee reviews for GameFreak: "Don't have to work hard. It will sell, anyway." THAT'S WHY POKÉMON DOESN'T GET BETTER! Also, I have to disagree with one of your points. I got more attached to my Pals than I ever have with my Pokémon. The ways interact with you or the world is great. Compare that to Pokémon, where you only see them use a move and get stuffed back into a ball.

Alpha pals are the bosses you find at fixed locations, where Lucky's are pals that sparkle and has unique audio and the lucky trait.

You can change the Pal's moves with skill fruits, and you can make Pals stronger with the condenser.

Weirdly, my only takeaway from this video is that Scarlet and Violet APPARENTLY has a bad frame rate…I’ve only played Violet and don’t really understand or care to understand why people care about frame rates, but I don’t really think the frame rate in Violet is that bad, at least I don’t remember having any problems with it But that’s just me…someone says a game has a bad frame rate, or a movie has bad effects, and I just look at the media, look back at the person and ask “what are you TALKING about?”…not literally, but that’s pretty much what happens in my brain

I remember when yo kia watch was starting to get quite famous and i thought that it could be a big contender to pokemon then level 5 refused to translate anything :(

I feel far more connected to my pals than I have ever in pokemon game. Seeing and being able to interact with them and them interact with things makes them feel more real.

I'm a bit late but I have to say that I'm so glad someone with at least SOME kind of following in the Pokemon community is making these same points with the level of nuance (and annoyance) necessary. I've seen umpteen million Pokemon fans treating Palworld like a fake news punching bag. Ironically, I kinda get it. I used to be the same way with Digimon and Yokai Watch until I had a few friends suggest that I give them a chance. You know what happened? They weren't half bad! The Digimon anime was surprisingly more engaging than Anipoke was at the time and playing the first Yokai Watch was pretty fun. Safe for a few aspects that weren't my cup of tea in YW, I could acknowledge that the game just wasn't something I liked and didn't have to force myself to enjoy. I didn't need a reason besides "I think these designs are grody imo" and "I didn't like [insert gameplay related element]". They weren't really that deep bc I was in early high school. 😂 However, I LOVE Palworld and Pokemon equally. Pokemon has been with me since I was born and it will always be a special interest of mine! But I have been saying a lot of things said in this video for awhile. Sadly, I have either been blocked by petty Pokemon fans who refuse to believe anything but their own echo chamber of a Tumblr/Twitter feed or accused of terrible stuff like supporting art theft and AI art... At some point I was even accused of transphobia for literally just disagreeing with some Pokemon stan who just so happened to identify as a neogender? I never said anything about their gender bc I didn't even look at their profile beyond what I saw in their comment. Honestly, it's a mess that I stopped defending awhile ago for sake of my own mental health. I'm so glad that I'm not the only fan of Palworld and Pokemon that's been preaching for GameFreak to step up their efforts! Palworld is an example bc PocketPair is ACTUALLY LISTENING to the FANS PLAYING THE GAME and not just "will this make us more money 🤔". They learned how bad the Pal AI is from the early access players, they're adding features based on what the player base has requested, they're making more pals based on fan favorites... They are an example but not for "the next Pokemon killer". They're an example bc they're an indie dev team of long time Pokemon fans putting in the time and effort that GameFreak currently isn't!

I swear pokemon is just mad because they can’t make a unique and interesting game. Pokemon needs to take a step back and let their devs work. (Also Palword is 30 dollars or free on xbox gamepass while most pokemon games are 60 dollars, I am not paying 60 dollars for a poorly optimized and boring game)

15:12 showcases a pal that was stolen, and then later it’s orange counterpart that it stole from at 15:38

Alpha pals and Lucky pals are different. Alphas are the "bosses" that you can find at the end of dungeons, and in specific places on the map. Lucky pals are the randomly spawning shining ones, and come with the Lucky trait.

I've had more fun in Palworld than the 2 Pokemon games I've played (sadly the worst ones, but they were still enjoyable). I have no issues swapping my party out for type advantaged pokemon and then throwing those pokemon back into boxes without healing them. Palworld tho, I feel incredibly bad when one or multiple of my Pals gets overworked, injured, or depressed. I could've prevented this! And it's the exploration and open world adventure that I find myself doing most of the time. Especially since I can bring my critters with me! Ah! We're going places together!! And the thugs that will capture and attack wild Pals just for sport remind me of trophy hunters which I dislike so fighting them to protect the wild ones makes me feel great. I do admit the story is...nonexistent, and the world is pretty empty, but it's an early access game and I am excited to see what new Pals they'll add and new things to explore and maybe more filling to the story. This has been a good new creature catching game for me to play and playing with or without friends is so much fun.

Everyone seems to have a different experience wirh pokemon and palworld. Hell, I pretty much love all my pals and the ones I put in my bases. Even my beginner pals. One thing I like to do is watch them work and sometimes go to take a bath or eat. It kind of inspires me to keep on getting food and making better homes for them. 😂❤

Pokemon needs smaller quests, plain and simple. Nothing like "Collect fifty whatever" or "Grind seventy of this guy" but small, contained stories like in Fallout or Elden Ring. Little splashes of worldbuilding that don't feel like tunnel vision of "CATCH POKEMON" or "FIGHT BAD GUYS"

30:03 I remember casually pointing this out on Reddit and mentioning that I just wished Verdash looked slightly different only to be met with a fellow Redditor who accused me of siding with the Pokemon fans despite me already mentioning that I play and love Palworld. What's worse was that person immediately said that Cinderace is ripping off Bugs Bunny and Inazuma Eleven for being a humanoid rabbit playing football. Had to calmly explain that Cinderace looks that way because Galar is based on the UK where football originated and that I just wished they did something different with Verdash. Thankfully, he understood and apologized for being ignorant of the Pokemon's design inspiration. I guess what I'm getting at here is that as a fan of both games, both fandoms just can't stand each other lol

Palworld arguably has their own spin on evolutions in the Pal Condenser machine, which not only upgrades your Pal of choice's stats, but also encourages you to catch dupes of the same Pal to feed to the machine, although the requirements are rather steep given the Palbox capacity you're given and number of Pals in the Paldeck. People have also made mods for unique models and colors for Lucky Pals, so there's the likelihood that a mod that gives them unique models at every 2 Condenser ranks will eventually happen. Personally, I prefer this alternative method of evolution, because it's pretty much like how people change their appearance after their training arc.

Then there is Lovander which is the... ... Check notes... ... The sexy one.

What i think about palworld having played it, it feels way more free in the things u can do in and with the world. I think we should be able to build our own house in pokemon and ive been saying this for years. But however I think the palworld monster designs are really safe. They do not have any off putting or disturbing designs which u need time to get used to its like they put every populair pokemon design in a random generator and these are the ones that came out of it. I wonder if pokemon can do anything to make their games more interactive with the world like palworld does it will probably result in longer development time and we all know tpc does not like that word.

I’ll summarize my Palworld experience like this, I went into it expecting to play for a bit with my brother, make fun of it, and then possibly refund the game after getting some laughs. One 11 hour session later and I think you get the idea

I mean, giving their devs a reasonable deadline would be nice. 9 months to a year is enough for a tech demo, not a game. Getting more staff, even COD's got 1.5k people and Gamefreaks got 145. A budget that isn't belly button lint and half a twix bar would be nice too. Fixing the ridiculous amount of technical debt and equipment for development would be good. The damn already unsustainable and overworked mangaka's can't keep up with the game's dev cycle. Hell, ILCA made a kick ass budget One Piece game after BDSP, so it seems management is the problem.

I feel like there are a few designs that are going to be changed soon, they are obviously too close. But that's the cool thing about early access games, and not having deadlines with your giant anime and merch departments just means they have the freedom to change it.

You would be surprised at how attached you get to your pals in base and in your party.

Pokemon Evolution isn't native to America and Europe countries unfortunately Siamese does arrive at least European culture and such As American pop culture as well

Comparing Pokemon to Palworld is like comparing Minecraft to Terraria. Yes, they both have similarities, but they also have several differences that make each of them unique.

The best part of palworld is that the player is directly involved in battles
