Hi, I'm Damian Castaway. For those who don't know me, I used to be the head Voice Actor for the Pixelmon Mod. Recently I've switched to the Cobblemon Mod. From Pixelmon To Cobblemon: Why I Made The Switch

I used to play pixelmon hardcore until I found cobblemon, I made the switch purely out of the feeling of Minecraft. Cobblemon allows me to play Minecraft with pokemon that feel like they were always there. It’s the same way with fossils and archaeology compared to other dinosaur mods.

I come to Minecraft pokemon because there’s more to do than the original games and even fan games. Personally in this situation more is better so Pixelmon it is. But that does not mean cobblemon will not be AWESOME or even better than pixelmon. (In the future.) Good news is cobblemon does not show any signs of stopping. And every step they’ve taken seems to be nothing but improvements to the mod. And they’re not shy about it u can go see everything they’re working on their page. Anyways not enough native content for me to leave pixelmon over just yet. But so far it’s undeniable that most people eventually will move on to the future being cobblemon. Thanks for the vid!
@DamianCastaway6 ай бұрын
Thank you for your input! I understand your point of view about there not being enough content in Cobblemon right now, and that's a very valid point! Like you said, the mod will continue to evolve and grow as new features are added. I too am excited to see what creative direction they head in!

Pixelmon was great back before they started replacing all the blocky models with high polygon ones. It just stopped feeling like it fit into minecraft. And it's been that way for most of its life now. Cobblemon is fantastic for that reason alone, AND they have so much more lively animations
@zantagio24284 ай бұрын
My main problem with cobblemon for right now. The pokedex isn't a completionary thing but a list of pokemon in the mod. The missing pokemon. The missing gameplay features like raids and other things, trainers, and other things. I feel like it relies a little too much on side mods which can be messy to update both side by side. The things I like about cobblemon are the minecraft like look the flying mechanics. the general feel of it [not an official cobblemon feature but I like the mod that makes legendaries obtainable through quests rather than a timer like pixelmon] the fact you can fight mobs with your pokemon which is sort of like pokecube. My first impressions of cobblemon was pokecube meets pixelmon but more stable . I hope gameplay features catch up with cobblemon and pokecube so I can truly make the switch.

Was not expecting to hear ff14 music in a minecraft video. I used to really like pixelmon but I feel like its trying to be a separate game more then a minecraft mod, and thats fine. Cobblemon very much feels like a side experience to the core minecraft experience. You still gotta do all the usual minecraft things to progress. Also the blocky models just somehow have way more personality then smooth realistic ones. Considering how cobblemon has existed for a fraction of the time pixelmon has, I think it was a lot of potential
@DamianCastaway5 ай бұрын
I hope the ff14 music was a pleasant surprise lol. And I think you make some very valid points. Considering cries match animations and animations are varied with cobblemon. Including blinking. I think the best prime example of Pixelmons animation and cry problem is Dialga (which I voiced lol). Dialgas roar happens on cycle, and almost never times with the cry. It's ALWAYS bothered me.

I switched to Cobblemon because of the models. Pixelmon models suck. I recall that in past they fit minecraft well. I don't know when but they change it to look... bad. Not suit for Minecraft at all. Cobblemon is just much more fun. For now I wait for the possibility of Gym Leaders, evil teams or AT LEAST events/mission. I really liked that part of pixelmon and I hope we will get that in Cobblemon.

Something I live and die by is that IMO, Pixelmon was overdone. I've been playing Cobblemon for a while now, and decided to go back to Pixelmon to see how it's coming along, and it was an immediate overload of the senses. I could barely think due to the sheer number of things going on, including a flashy notification that there's an item on the ground??? I don't think I'll ever go back to Pixelmon, just because Cobblemon plays more into the Minecraft experience, instead of trying to make a whole new game like Pixelmon

They do good models, but they dont do fitting models, which is why i never got into Pixelmon. Not to mention Pixelmon really doesnt integrate itself into Minecraft that well and comes with a ton of bloat. It's definitely more complete though, and it does a good enough job at adding Pokemon to minecraft that I understand why people still play it
