Hint of a New Throwing Mechanic? Overanalyzing the Palworld: Feybreak Trailer

[@sjackjrman]

I think you will be able to "place" your pal. The position will be blue if it's a good spot and red if not. Once you release your pal will spawn there.

[@robertsilvermyst7325]

What would be cool for a summon replacement is that the player has some sort of arm guard with a gem in it that they could be launched out from. and drawn back into.

[@Symoh1]

That's cool. It'd be like the slingers from monster hunter.

[@antoinemims3952]

I would like that

[@YojiroIshigada]

That's just Nexomon

[@GangstaWizard248]

there are pal-sphere Launchers already in the game making one for summoning should not be that big a deal

[@keopsps3474]

2:28 looks like a Garand rifle. Hope it has the ping reload

[@brucemccauley6099]

Use the sphere launcher to catch and project the sphere to summon at the location

[@GangstaWizard248]

gene splicing would be neat, i wanted to make a super strong Mutant Lamball

[@dragonroots]

It could be they are changing it from "throwing" a sphere to "shooting" a sphere, maybe via a wrist or shoulder mounted device. That or one of the new weapons will be a "Pal Launcher" that you load your pal sphere's into and launch them.

[@Symoh1]

I think the wording used in one of the patents is something like "fire a combat character" so that might not work unfortunately.

[@shadowbolthaseo1861]

I hope we can change the color of the energy sword blue is cool but I prefer purple energy swords

[@Symoh1]

Ooh yeah, being able to customize your gear would be really nice!

[@AustraniJohan]

Red all the way lol

[@chowdhury-c4w]

1:02 This blue, robotic dragon pal could be a pal found in the wild 5:38 I feel like that since the new raid boss looks a lot similar to the one seen at the beginning of the trailer, my assumption is that it is simply a subspecies of the blue, robotic dragon similar to how Blazamut Ryu, the raid boss, is a subspecies of regular fire Blazamut. To prove it, look at the wing-like parts, chest, crest, and toes. Although the lighting of the evening sun might suggest otherwise, the areas where it would have been colored blue in the dragon at the beginning are replaced with white coloring. My thinking is it will be a subspecies of that blue, robotic dragon pal like I said earlier.

[@Symoh1]

You might be right. I'd love to see more subspecies and maybe even recolors of pals for added variety.

[@TheVix7777]

cool analysis

[@Symoh1]

Thank you!

[@jonathanosborne7509]

Blazamut was the same, not unique raid boss but definitely fun. They could do this with more pals I'd be happy. Actually I'd like to see them combine the raid difficulty and a different type ( pal variant c) to be the dungeon boss, really expand those and maybe even do away with raids all together.

[@Symoh1]

That is true. Blazamut slipped my mind lol. More variations for pals would be really nice. Even if it's just recolors.

[@Piper0185]

PP didnt need to change the animation, bc it doesnt change the lawsuit. IF it was an infringement, it was still there changed or not. I actually think it is a strategy move. The key to a patent is, you dont need to file when you do it, you can file years later, you just have to prove you did it first. Ninetendo claims they did with Arceus, which, is false on 2 fronts. #1- a GTA mod had open world pokemon catching before Arceus lol tho good luck winning, but more importantly, Craftopia, pocketpairs other game, had it before Arceus. They have a very high chance of winning that. I think this was done to draw attention to the other 2 "infractions" to catch Nintendo off guard. Ppl forget about Craftopia.

[@Symoh1]

You make a good point. I think part of the problem is also that nintendo got it patented first, and it was approved for whatever crazy reason.

[@Piper0185]

@Symoh1 it was approved yes, bc no other patent existed. However when it comes to legal battle over it, long as PP can prove they did it first, then there is no infringement and a patent can be removed. Game mechanics are a touchy area. I think that mechanic is safe.

[@Symoh1]

Good to know. Let's hope Pocketpair is successful then, so no other company has to deal with this in the future.

[@backyardr.c.6280]

Still can't figure out the whole Six Times Bigger Than Sakurajima thing. As the map is now, there's just no way that would fit. A map size increase MUST be in the update for this to make sense.

[@Symoh1]

That's a good point. They could also be adding like underground areas, so I may be that the new island has multiple layers.

[@Despair6048]

how many dark types do we need?

[@Symoh1]

Right? Pocketpair seems to really like dark and dragon types, lol

[@gakm4931]

We need at least one good dark pal for every job in my base so the base never sleeps. Slav... I mean Pals shouldnt sleep just work for me constantly

[@emotionlesja91]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@animalcrossingcharacter_ex9717]

it would be funny if they added dynamax and mega evolution

[@Symoh1]

Haha, that would be hilarious. Personally, I'm not a fan of dynamax but megas I'll take any day.

[@circledude2362]

Soon, they will win the lawsuit and prove they did the mechanic first before pokemon and more monster taiming titles will rise without nintendo's aprovel and they can't stop them from giving pokemon competion.

[@Symoh1]

Hell yeah! Would love to see more games in this genre!

[@circledude2362]

@Symoh1 like capcom introducing Ultramon. Named so after the ultraman7 mega man 2 song.

[@x149te]

I didn;t see catching animation

[@Symoh1]

Good catch. I didn't think of that.

[@Blood-Moon-Pack]

first and it seems cubes or something else crytendo cant sue them over cubes

[@x149te]

In patent wasn't written "spheres".

[@Torbulous]

It's an "item", not "ball". It's irritating how many people keep spreading this misinformation. The patent is a lot less worse when the solution is just to change the shape of the object. However, they can't use that solution because it still violates the patent. Sorry if this comes off as passive aggressive. I'm not irritated at you, but just the amount of people making this mistake.

[@Symoh1]

I agree. I don't remember if the patents discussed shape. I think it's more so the throwing action.

[@Torbulous]

@@Symoh1Yeah they identified the object as an "item". I think people are getting confused because people are using ball to describe it as they know it's in reference to the pokeballs, but the actual word used is "item". Imo, that makes the patent 50 times worse.

[@Symoh1]

That is a good point. I'm very interested to see if/how pocketpair finds a way around it.

[@krieg_guardsman9548]

A disk would work

[@Symoh1]

I'm not sure if any of the patents cover the shape specifically. I think it's more the action of throwing.

[@Torbulous]

a disk is still an "item".

[@Cobra3111]

TemTem uses disks.

[@Symoh1]

Yes, but it's turn based. The combat starts, and then you summon your tems. You don't throw your disk to summon a tem that immediately engages in combat in the wild like in Arceus or Palworld. They patented the throwing mechanic, not pokeballs directly.

[@chinimon8259]

Nint will play the dlc make new patents for the update add them to the parent patent as new and sue pocket again 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Symoh1]

I wouldn't even be surprised lol
