Why Palworld IS The "Pokemon Killer"

[@jackwilliams801]

I see 3 major issues with Pokémon atm: 1. Cheaters in VGC (Obviously) 2. The greedy behavior of adults around the TCG (Remember McDonalds and the Van Gough Museum) 3. The distribution of the anime in the US. I don’t know what’s going on with Horizons and Netflix, but the episode gap between the Japanese and English releases are ridiculous. I feel like these issues just turn off existing fans and contribute to the failure to capture new fans.

[@louisroth5941]

I agree but how could you blame people when tcg can make you cash. Everyone needs cash. It’s an unavoidable situation as long as the cards are worth money.

Are you talking about the Wondertomb crowd or the "illegally acquired legal build" crowd?

[@F0xdash]

i saw some pictures of the devs with a deck of palworld cardgame. dunno if they plan to release it or if it was just some kind of a joke to them, but the image was pretty real... maybe they are holding it just in case

@@F0xdash I think both will happen eventually, but plushies will definitely happen in the near future given Palworlds success.

[@EinsamPibroch278]

Oh I hope not. Model kits would be cool, but if PalWorld goes Mascot Franchise the way Pokémon did, we'll see a bloated PokéDex 2.0 and the same drop in quality with the games all over again. Games First and foremost.

I think it’s too early to say Palworld is a Pokemon killer but I’d rather Palworld and Pokemon to vibe off each other like Star Trek did with Star Wars. It was Star Wars that allowed Star Trek to revive itself with sci-fi movies. So I want Palworld to bring Pokemon back and we stop getting stupid looking Pokemon. I feel Pokemon needs a game based on improving mechanics and that probably would help Pokemon a lot

[@SpinStreakYT]

No, i want my 200 hours into Scarlet and Violet back. Besides the graphical style, which i actually appreciated (the way they handled each model) The story was bad, the performance was bad, and overall the mons were lackluster. Their games need true evolution, heck even a revolution to get back into the game after Palworld.

[@ARStudios2000]

In my personal opinion, I don't think this is a "Pokemon killer". Not even close, because its really not a Pokemon game, that would be something more akin to Casette Beasts. But I do think that Palworld and Pokemon can absolutely co exist easily. It has its fair share of flaws, and its still in Early Access, it is literally not finished yet, but Palworld is pretty much its own bizarre unique thing that does its own gimmicks and niche. The whole game feels like an elaborate unhinged shitpost and I am absolutely here for it. And I don't care what anyone says about the designs. If nobodys gonna call the many Souls likes out there as ripoffs of the Souls games (Mortal Shell is really similar to Dark Souls to the point I actually wasn't aware Mortal Shell wasn't a Fromsoft game), this ain't a Pokemon ripoff. Plus, as you mentioned, there is an astounding amount of care and thought put into the Pal designs that have intrigued me more than the last several gens of Pokemon designs. Daedream, Cawgnito, Dazzi, and Flopie are my favorite designs right now.

[@backloggamereviews]

I live in Japan and Pokemon is still very popular with kids here. Mainly kindergarteners up to elementary school kids. Surprisingly a lot of kids here know about palworld and are interested in it

[@Sugurain]

Yeah, some Pals do look like pokemon, but that's like 6-7, out of 110 Pals. Some Pal designs are really great, top tier stuff, like shadowbeak, ragnahawk, faleris, quivern and chillet. As to why play Palworld? It offers a COMPLETELY different style of game. Survival, open world, crafting, real time combat AND monster collecting, that's what palworld offers in a single 30 dollar game, pokemons offers monster collecting and turn based combat, for 70+70+35 DOLLARS. That's it. I've been a pokemon fan since 1999, so I've literally lived through the whole existance of pokemon, and the quality drop after black and white was tangible, they were the peak of quality and game design for pokemon, and that was over a decade ago.

Palworld is a Monster Capture contender. Healthy competition is always good for any market or business: if two people have to fight for your money and attention, the one with the best deal wins. Palworld only a Pokémon killer if Game Freak doesn’t learn from themselves, Palworld, or any other Monster Capture game on how to improve their games.

[@preemptivefaceplant5277]

false, this game is just a way for people to say FU to nintendo. it will lose its hype and vanish in time. Pokemon is a Titan just like WoW, it can do crappy things then suddenly someone comes along and says THIS IS THE _____ KILLER. It never happens. This game will vanish before the year is over because no one will care about the game. It happens all the time.

[@LocalMaple]

@@preemptivefaceplant5277 Wow. You agreed with what I said overall (with a worse wording and outlook), said less and actually provably wrong things, and acted like I was wrong. Me: it won’t kill Pokémon unless Game Freak is dumb and doesn’t get their act together. I want to see Palworld succeed and Pokémon to feel pressured into raising their quality. Concurrent players, hours played, and total purchases tell me this game hooked players, isn’t just a fad, and is a contender for people’s time and money. You: once people are done buying this game for the sole reason to flip off Nintendo, it’ll drop like Space Shuttle Challenger. I don’t want to see Palworld succeed, and I want to see Pokémon continue to “do crappy things” because it “is a Titan” and cannot be swayed. We both believe the same thing. But the big difference is if we believe Palworld will stick around. If Palworld does fall, your perspective will be right (but I still disagree with your tone). Pokémon will not change their course, and we will continue to get half baked games that are never quite patched to a steady playable quality. They’ll see it as “people don’t care about loading screens, assets like NPCs taking 30 seconds to load in, frame rate, overworld texture quality…” and continue to make subpar games with mediocre stories supported by having Nostalgia, Pikachu, and Charizard. But if Palworld has staying power, then I’m right. Due to how different the games are, people will still buy both Pokémon and Palworld. But Game Freak will feel the pressure of fans not spending as much time on their games, and maybe some dropping because Pokémon can’t make a stable game with fast loading times.

[@Aigle662frileux]

Yeah you right im tired of people saying palworld is a pokemon killer pokemon is way too big to be killed by anyone

[@gampie13]

@@Aigle662frileux finaly the realistic take, after a franchise becomes as big as pokemon is, it is only itself that can actualy "kill" it off with missmanagment. Best example of franchise doing exactly that atm, is star wars, all just complete incompetence, political pandering and missmanagment of epic proportions. And even then it's a slow burn of a "death", that even then "can" be salvaged, (at least the extended universe)

[@shinyhaunter0576]

I felt destroyed when I saw the origin forms for Dialga and Palkia as that meant that they were now cannon and there is no way to fix it.

It’s a win win for everyone but Pokémon community would have you believe otherwise.

Maybe it’s irony I’m remembering this now but most of these mechanics besides Camp building and the amazing breeding mechanic can be found in Pokémon Legends-Stealth, Free aim for capturing, Material gathering, Crafting with materials Most of those you said were terrible or tedious in some regard So why are you enjoying them now

[@LocalMaple]

I won’t disagree with the curiosity. But many of the mechanics introduced into Legends Arceus were also found in New Snap, a game Verlis liked. Which game am I describing: You spend the game revisiting the linear areas, doing multiple things to complete individual PokéDex entries, increase your rank by your Dex progress, point and click to interact without battling, and the boss of each area is a large glowing Pokémon that may or may not have a puzzle in how to interact with it. I called Legends the Let’s Go for Snap mechanics instead of Go.

[@Verlisify]

You are outrageously misremembering

[@SlawBunnies909]

Unfortunately the crafting aspect of Pokémon Legends and PalWorld are on completely different levels. You’re comparing item crafting and collecting materials to actual base building and crafting things from equipment to weapons, to capture tools AND furniture, construction tools, harvest tools, shields, firearms, equipment for your Palmons. Pokémon Legends had nothing like that. I have just recently (like a week ago) revisited Legends and its crafting system was very barebones. Pokémon is very “user-friendly” in the sense that they hand feed you everything. Nothing in PalWorld is given to you. You have to work for everything and that’s where the time difference in investment comes from. Yet, you still have the catching and training aspect of your Palmons that Pokémon has.

[@animeguy10000000]

Legends' crafting system was crap compared to Palworld. Also, there was no breeding in Legends Arceus.

[@jimmygudiel3007]

Palworld’s crafting is rewarding. PLA’s is such a chore and not as rewarding

[@broccolinyu911]

I must disagree on the claim that the pokemon community is the most toxic. The most toxic community is by far the smash fandom. Why? Well, bring together the worst part of multiple different fandoms, throw in a huge dose of misdirected passion and you got one of the most sensitive communities who think that not liking a character is an attack on them and their family.

[@jarom1144]

I highly doubt its a pokemon killer. Also lets be real here. Because its mostly PC based, there is definitely going to be cheaters in Palworld too. Also I dont think Palworld is even really "filling" the gap for pokemon players. Yes there are a lot of pokemon players playing the game but Id guess no more than 25-30% of the player base. Palworld is picking up momentum with a whole bunch of OTHER players. And thats because Palworld is a completely different game then Pokemon. The only real similarities are similar designs in monsters only, and the ability to catch said monsters. If you simply took the design aspect of the mons out, it would not feel like pokemon game at all. Now I do think it does things good that Pokemon needs to take notes on. I do hope this drives the Pokemon company to do better because honestly it realistically wouldnt take much for them to over shadow Palworld. SV was already a pretty good game. Just make the next one glitch free, and add some of the elements of Palworld, crack down on cheating more, and done.

[@0x0404]

It has been that way forever. Each pokemon generation only has maybe a dozen good looking mons, usually only the legends, starters, and a few standouts in the middle.

[@chrismclay4176]

No it isn't its not even similar to pokemon other than throwing balls, they didn't finish craftopia I have zero hope for this game, nor is it going to kill a 20+ year franchise with a serious competitive scene.

My nieces and nephew LOVED the pokemon anime but when i tried showing them the games like Shield, they got bored with it REALLY QUICKLY. For one they had to read the dialogue, no kid wants to read dialogue to an RPG trust me. Next because there was so much story and hand holding they asked me if i had any other games to play. Thankfully i had some mario games, because Pokemon games just aren't appealing to a lot of kids because of how standards have been raised now. If pokemon had Voice actors and animated the games like they did the anime the games would sell out, digital sales would be through the roof. But they won't because their lazy and cheap with the series now.

[@Verlisify]

Game Freak is objectively not lazy and cheap with the series. Voice acting isn't necessary and I would personally hate it, I do not find VO interesting and just mash through it. With voice acting you are also stuck if a character is a miss or giving a poor performance. Testing in game development shows that players need the dialogue especially for a kids game or they get lost and disinterested in the game anyways.

[@decusq]

@@Verlisify While what some of what you say is true i'm talking about modern day children in trying to connect with a video game. It's hard enough to sell kids on certain games ESPECIALLY rpgs which are TEXT HEAVY games. The only reason a lot of kids get into the games is thanks to their parents and the Anime but when the kids see the games aren't like the Anime they get disinterested in it. Which is why i think there should be Voice Acting in a Modern pokemon game, ESPECIALLY for kids! Kids don't read the text a lot of the time, they LISTEN and Watch the characters. They see the personalities of the pokemon and Apply it to their imagination for the games. Lets face it, the Animes played a HUGE ROLE in getting people to enjoy the games because we applied our knowledge form the anime to the games to make it more interesting. As it is, pokemon in the games aren't as expressive or as emoting as the Anime. So thats why Gamefreak needs to make the games more like the Anime otherwise this franchise is gonna slowly die out.

[@Verlisify]

You don't seem to understand these things are tested for. Also there are going to be cultural differences. Its not any developers responsibility to cater to kids with no attention span and Pokemon beating almost every AAA title in sales shows thats good development practice. Without text kids get distracted and lost so they quit anyway as stated in interviews. You can't win with kids these days since they are fried from tik tok and smartphones.

@@Verlisify Aren't little kids the Pokemon audience they keep aiming for though?

Paul world is more rated R Pokémon, but it gives people what they want, if Pokémon was more like the cartoon😮 we would be able to explore at our own pace, and find secret treasures, eggs, and interesting side events. Basically if they made an open world Pokémon game that wasn’t split into two versions just one version with all Pokémon, but everyone plays it and they can encounter different things not everyone plays the same. That’s a good diversity.

I seriously doubt this will pose a threat to Pokemon. Everytime something new comes out people are always quick to assume it'll kill the previous franchise, yet it never happens. This won't last long either.

Except with Pokemon there has never been a valid challenge to Pokemon. This is shattering records. also you are wrong Fortnite became the PUBG killer and is still numero uno

[@preemptivefaceplant5277]

@@Verlisify SO how many wow killers have come along and done that. Im sorry but there just are certain Titans in some industries that cant be threatened. Wow, Pokemon, Magic the Gathering. These are titans that will always be living at the top untill thier creators stop making them. Also there have been challengers agianst pokemon so you can say they werent. This game wont be any different. I give ti till the end of the year before it falls off the raidar completely for most people.

What really ends up happening is the game is forgotten within a year and the titan will still be standing at the top. This is an endless cycle. Happened with wow multiple times, pokemon has had this multiple times, mtg has had this multiple times. They are all still at the top. This will be no different. While palworld is a nice game.

I really wanna play this game so bad…. Pokémon is failing imo look at scarlet and violet graphics look like a downgrade from previous games! The “open world” is lazy empty and unfinished the only reason I play it still is for ranked but even now I’m having hard time getting into the game…. I wish palworld succeed .. gamefreak needs to take notes if they want to stay relevant… I’m cheering for palworld

[@Sinfullybliss97]

For me why it's a Pokemon killer is because it just goes to show that these people had a very limited budget and limited knowledge and accessibility compared to a giant corporation like like Nintendo. It goes to show that the Pokemon company has been delivering copypasta garbage for years and and have not been worth the price tag

[@preemptivefaceplant5277]

History proves you are wrong. Titans dont have killers. WoW had how many "WoW killers" in its time. hundreds. Magic the gathering had "Magic killers" while yugioh and pokemon tcg are doing great, Magic is still at the top. Pokemon is no different in its genre of game. You cant kill a titan unless it wants to be killed and that only happens if the company stops making it. This game will vanish before the year is up just like every other "killer"

[@chrisanderson7820]

The main reason the pals seem so agreeable is the organic emotions they display as they undertake various tasks (especially given the Palworld open world design).

[@kordellcurl7559]

Palworld to me isn’t the Pokémon killer but maybe it would help both games thrive and vibe of each other. I still would buy the new Pokémon games just as long they keep making them.

[@preemptivefaceplant5277]

I honestly doubt it. This game will most likely vansih form everyones mind before the year is over

I think also people are enjoying the nostalgia of playing a game like this. The core gameplay is super solid and fun, but it has some hilarious glitches and bugs that you can laugh about and enjoy with your friends. Reminds me of the early 2000s days when you and your friend would find some super funny bug in windwaker or something but still love the game

1, most fans just want remakes. they dont want new. 2. this wont light a fire because this game will vanish form most peoples minds before the years up.

[@ashwingfantasy030]

For example, if we had a open world, Pokémon game that was big like legend of Zelda, with all the environments and regions are the same but depending on the person and how they play, you can encounter different scenarios, and Pokémon may appear more frequently or less often 😮 someone may even find a high-level or very rare Pokémon, or even an egg, and it turns out to be something later on in your journey maybe even a legendary depending on your play style things will take shape and take route

[@ashwingfantasy030]
