Pokémon hasn’t pushed the envelope at all. I think this game really shows what you can do with battle pets in an open world and Nintendo should take notes. Not necessarily breaking their format or making a survival crafter, but there’s a lot of potential they ignore.
Pokémon hasn’t tried anything new in decades because they don’t need to, Nintendo rakes in money from fans buying the same shit every year regardless so why out extra cost in to the product
If a game copies what another game does but does it better and/or gives it own spin on things (which PalWorld arguably does, considering that you can have your Pokemon Pals fight with machine weaponry and also enslave capture people as Pals), I don’t see how that can be a bad thing. Otherwise, people should be up in arms about every roguelike Metroidvania or Soulslike game.
Yeah this is more of the pokemon fandom being deranged. Closest thing in memory was a few people complaining Bleak Faith stole some animations or something from Dark Souls.
The whole thing was resolved without incident and nobody threatened to kill anyone either. Most people didnt even care.
Yeah, people seem all over the place about whether a copied mechanic is “ripping off” or just a genre.
These pokemon-likes have no more in common with Pokemon than Street Fighter with Virtua Fighter, Tekken, MK, KI, Fatal Fury, Guilty Gear, DBZ, or even Super Smash Bros… and about 2 dozen other games
People keep saying that Nintendo is going to sue them or something, but remember digimon?
Pokemon isn’t even an original idea - they just took one aspect of the jrpg and took it further. There’s been countless games that played with the same concept - they’re very litigious, but they don’t have any standing against a game that doesn’t use their IP - and the concept is not their IP, the Pokemon are
I’d pick I up if there was an actual storyline/something that needs to be accomplished and not just an open sandbox where the point is to just build and upgrade.
Yeah. It’s so crazy what ends up going viral sometimes. Over 5 million in a weekend for an early access from a no name company (essentially) is just nuts. Who knew a pokemon rip off with guns was going to cause such a big haul.
Yeah, I played a decent amount and quit when I realized the first boss isn’t the lead-in to the story. I’ll come back when there’s more to it (especially since the Game Pass version is out of date).
This game bites a lot of other games, but it’s fun to play which is more than I can say for any Nintendo Pokemon game in recent memory.

Well, they tried new gimmicks! Like the Dream World, which was closed two years later. And, uh… that step counter.
Probably the same fans are sending the death threats
Nintendo2k - $70 Edition
To some degree I’d honestly welcome that. Even if it’s not going to be some Breath of the Wild quality spin-off, I just want more creativity.
Which is funny cause the same studio already made a breath of the wild type game. Its called Craftopia.
according to steam reviews its abandonware
Idk maybe. Last update was last year iirc
They’re showing a bugfix update as recent as this past week.
That’s good to hear. I own it but wanted till it was a little more feature complete to play.
Last steam patch was January 22, 2024, they have been pushing patches at least monthly, they dropped a major content patch in June 2023.
I only follow their Twitter so idk. Guess guy was completely talking out his ass.
I mean everyone’s favorite game Stardew Valley is a Harvest Moon rip-off. Gotta shit or get off the pot Nintendo.
And Minecraft was a Infinininer ripoff. Portal was a version of Narbacular Drop. These people are utterly out of touch with reality
Yeah there’s a reason for that.
Yes, I know

Shin Megami Tensei did it first anyway. And Pokemon straight up stole monster designs from Dragon Quest.
Shooting at Pokémon with assault rifles feels so wrong. It feels like a weird mod that doesn’t match the core of the game.
I just saw a 2 minute video to form that opinion, but I’ll check more about it.
I’d pick I up if there was an actual storyline/something that needs to be accomplished and not just an open sandbox where the point is to just build and upgrade.
Hopefully the devs roll that out eventually, especially after the initial success of the game.
