minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-21•8 days agoI don’t think you have played either Pokémon or Palworld. Because they have nothing in common.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink25•8 days agoYeah that’s kind of the point. (Also wtf are you smoking? “Travel the world collecting animals to be on your team” is the core concept)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•8 days agoOne is an RPG and the other is a crafting survival, Palworld is just ARK with the dinosaurs replaced by off brand Pokémon,
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•edit-28 days agoExcept Palworld isn’t what you described. It’s “build a base and capture mons and people to out to work at your base so you can climb the tech tree and build guns to fight the boss mons”.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•6 days agoYeah, ok? The fresh mechanics Pokemon has needed for a long time now. Also, still rounding up ‘mons to build a team to accomplish goal. It was similar enough that Nintendo had to tell its fans to shut the hell up about it. Palworld is the facelift Pokemon needed.
