  • Tribalism is running wild with the face-off between the new kid on the block, Palworld, and its juggernaut rival, Pokemon. Between debates on the use of AI, or whether or not it's an asset flip, Palworld has made a massive impact on both the gaming world as well as their fandoms.
    After Palworld's initial announcement, the game was critisized for it's "familiar" art style and adult gameplay. But surprise, surprise - Palworld's a success story, crossing 17 million downloads. Yet, some fans aren't cheering.

    As a Pokemon fan and avid player of Pokemon fan games, I'm grateful for things like Monster Hunter Stories, Palworld, Nexomon, and others. Video games should be able to borrow ideas from each other. Gaming copyright is actually too restrictive right now, and the fans need to stop asking for it to be harder to make new games!
    Gen Z needs to stop asking for tougher copyright laws on video games; the big companies might grant their wish, and that would make it hard on everyone.

      ⁠@@saiyantwan That’s kind of the point though: where it can be different genres instead of the same Pokémon formula.
      They made the Pokémon game we wanted: a fresh new way to interact with our little furry digital friends, grow bonds, and where the “Trainer class” isn’t the only option.
      Maybe more simply, we wanted a game that excites us and feels like a game with effort and passion put in.

      The pokemon games are so "bad" because they don't steal resources from who IS paid well for the IP: plushie manufacturers and monster designers. The game itself is a pretty mechanistic niche RPG and not the technicolor graphical feature some gamers demand to CHANGE IT into, neither is it funding its yearly schedule through microtransaction like EA.
      It's a perfectly good show for what it is: a yearly updated, half and half video game and TRADITIONAL game that is meant to be played by living in this real world, like going outside to meet friends to link cable with. If you want good graphics, you can buy the actual merchandise on IRL framerate, touch grass, and support the monster desigenrs far more substantially that in-game graphical escapism. You can't buy off what you demand to change pokemon into, by buying the game every year where all the money goes to retail stores and cartridge printing processes, plus TAXES for your own healthcare. No company does any better, the bar is just unfairly raised for "big" companies, when the money flow still only creates so much investment space, not some "huge profits" but money going in, and out.
      What Palworld is doing, is not bad per se but it is absolutely parastici on the artists at Pokemon Company and the massive fanbase of games like PUBG and ARK. All the "Pokemon fans" who want the games to "do better", are actually fine with the artists completely being ripped off by Palworld, when they would raise hell if these artists were indies who refused to get hired by bigger companies or do anything by the book, without the small industry perks like not having to license materials for your youtube videos or pom your distribute through Patreon. The artists at Pokemon Company are still human beings just as much as RUclipsrs are human being but Google allows them to make content based on leagalized piracy, NOT paying much of anything or create the kind of jobs Pokemon does.

      ​​​@@lonirains2306​Pokemon has different genres, it's been apart of Tekken, smash bros, mystery dungeon, Pokemon snap, there's also mini games within the main series that emulate gambling, excite bike, tony hawk, and starfox. Also, the whole point of a game series is to keep improving on the original formula and GF did just that and both them and TPC went above and beyond to both expand the original formula all the while fitting Pokemon into different genres.
      Having a bond is literally how many Pokemon evolve, also there's even a separate bond mechanic through amie/refresh which is actually more hands on affection interactivity than what Pal world offers.
      You actually won't ever have a Pokemon game with more passion put into it given by any other developer. Other developers wouldn't carry over every single piece of battle content like GF did for 7 generations. No company ever in the history of time has let you carry over combat data across 7 generations of games much less all of it.
      Great job spouting nonsense.

    If you're a fan of pokemon, then you ought to be a fan of Palworld, as it's showing to Nintendo and Gamefreak that we want more from the franchise, and now that Scarlet / Violet has been put into perspective about the sort of game we could be getting, maybe they'll get off their backside and actually put effort into it again.
    Competition is healthy, and Pokemon hasnt had any for a long time, this can only benefit the pokemon franchise in the long run.
    I see more life in the way that Pals move and animate than in anything i've seen in Scarlet/violet, and actively working alongside Pals, and having a decent actual co-op experience is all something ive wanted from the Pokemon franchise since forever, and the whole way you can actively swap between fighting by yourself in tandem with pals and jumping on them to control them is pretty innovative, its way more action oriented than Ark or the like is, and so much more wonderfully dynamic than the turn based stuff you see in Arceus and mainline games.

      I'd have to hard disagree, you can be a fan of one but not the other. Palworld is called pokemon with guns but that's actually Digimon since they keep it toned down when it comes to certain aspects. Palworld is the midlife crisis pokemon game. You got nothing to lose and so you just go all out cause you don't know if you'll see tomorrow. People bought the game to try and stick it to Nintendo...but they're not. Sales of the pokemon games aren't hit at all, the merchandise is still selling like crazy. Palworld has attention because they wanted their pals to look like pokemon, they rely on pokemon to get attention. I do hope the game is just a blip cause it's a lazy cash grab that paid off for lazy people.

    • @JDReC100

      ​@@everettjohnson9374you can be a fan of both. Of course PalWorld isn't going to hurt Pokémon sales.
      Pokémon itself will hurt its own sales if they keep doing what they're doing. PalWorld is in its own weird bubble, just like Digimon is in its own weird bubble (and trust me, Digimon can be as messed up if not moredo that what PalWorld has to offer right now).
      Some people bought the game to stick it to Nintendo, but I think that's actually a minority. I feel alot of people were curious as to what the heck this weird thing is, tried it, liked it, and played more of it. Most people didn't expect it to play well, most didn't even think the game was real and the trailers were fake.
      Time will tell how things go for both Pokémon and PalWorld, and I hope both do well and satisfy their players.

Pal world isn't catching up to that.

    I'm not supportive of it cuz it looks like they copied their competetion unfairly and is expecting me to give them support for that while trying to hide it at the same time.
    The Green Pal looks like Aipom. And I continue to see more of then that look too much like different Pokemon and the almost exact same visual concepts that made them, to really say Pal World creators were trying to be original.
    From copied eyes to duplicating a flower created by Pokemon that doesnt exist in the real world. Nah. And well I'm sure the game is fun. I dont feel right giving them the support while they piggyback off of someones elses efforts And so I haven't even bothered with it.

    It’s been a little over 20 years since I first played Pokémon Crystal… Palworld feels like the spin-off/crossover we’ve never gotten but I have always wanted
    So far the main series has basically felt like the anime where “action” is 99.99% done Pokémon vs Pokémon in a fairly regulated manner.
    Palworld in comparison feels like the Manga where Bruno has an Onix *under the battlefield* to attack mid-fight. It feels more like how real people would interact with magical creatures we could control… we’d exploit and weaponize the F*** out of them. It very much is Ark with a Pokémon patch or PLA with an M rating based more on the manga in terms of violence

Also Palworld's tech unlock screen is straight out of Ark's engrams... it's adorably hilarious how blatant it gets on many places.

  • @shadesmcf
    @shadesmcf Год назад +4

    Love that intro. I like that psychological aspect of this Benny pointed out. Might just be the actual reason.
    I think the reason why pokemon fans are so upset against palworld is because they _think_ the pals are an imitation of pokemon just really altered around to look different but so similar that there isnt much originality and just banking off their favorite IPs imagery which they hate. I mean there are some pals that look like they are so inspired by pokemon to the point where i guess it does affect that sense of identity. Sure you could take a 3d model and shape it like clay, as in if you make a clay stick figure with no detail and mold it so it has like different shapes kinda thing, but i think a lot of pokemon fans including myself see different things in the same pal which might not even exist in the first place but the pokemon fans are trying to point it out cause they want to show that the palworld shouldnt be seen as better or great. But the games so different to pokemon and has depth to it too. Its like some people dont want to give palword a fair try. Though i guess its just everything regarding the designs of the pals mostly.
    There is the track record of the palworld devs making games that are just mixing the mechanics of other games together, I say they found the best kind of mix and the only real worry i saw is whether this game will ever come out of early access or not. But with the success and fast patches id say the game will just get better. However one of their games i believe had an ai art generator which adds to peoples belief that they used ai to make the designs. I really doubt it, but if you fill in an art generators database with just basic pokemon art you will get pokemon like designs that are completely different. I know this because there actually was a lot of ai art programs that really took pokemon fan art to generate art. This was back when ai art generation wasnt as good as it is today. But there are a lot of pals that just seem very unique and plainly inspired or original and different from pokemon. Like the dev have most likely built them from scratch so it makes sense that they built the other models from scratch too after creating concept art. Pokemon itself had inspirations of their designs come from something else. A good example is Lucario, though palworlds anubis is a lot closer to its inspiration than lucario. A pokemon fangame did that too with the same egyptian theme. Honestly it feels like palwaord devs are fans or pokemon too, to the point they took inspiration from them and like the devs really put something like lovander as number 69. They know whats up lol, so it cant be AI generated. Though the pal Kattress seems more inspired by pokemon fanart that put whatever in the outfit or design of mismagius, cause that was a mini trend for a while. Though theres this one pal thats like amaterasu from okami and that one pal thats supposed to be a manticore but really looks like teostra from monster hunter. I like how mostly everyone i see only see pokemon and are like they just jumbled the pieces put together or edited slightly and dont see what else they could be similar too. If anything the ones that arent pokemon inspired to see if they arent just reusing and altering assets from other IPs.
    But in the end why does it even matter. Its a fun game and thats totally different and satisfies the itch pokemon will never do. And thats put guns in it. I mean sure, pokemon had a guy try killing everyone at one point or another guy bombing a lake, or another group causing terrorism by freezing an entire city or this other one guy completely manipulating the life and growth of a person for his sick and twisted schemes for power, pokemons totally a kids game right? Palworls is another monster collecting game that just treats its monsters different without a big story as of yet but its a good gameplay loop. Also like it runs better than the latest pokemon game. If anything pokemon fans should be mad about their games not running with the fidelity of palworld. And maybe they are and hopefully pokemon actually feels like a game of this era someday.

    I love Pokémon and am a huge fan, but I’ve said for a while that GameFreak shouldn’t make the games anymore. There’s clear signs of games like Ark, Elden ring, and Zelda too in Palworld, and as good as this game is no one is saying it’s better than those games, but everyone sure is saying it’s better than Pokemon, and if Pokemon had just made quality content, I do not see a world where this game succeeds as much as it did. Pokémon’s failure is Palworlds success.

I also don’t see any dev being able to do much better than game freak in making an actual Pokemon game.

    I'm more annoyed about the countless people proclaiming and singing the praises of Palworld at the expense of Pokemon, without knowing the finer details. "This would teach Pokemon to make Better games", "This is Pokemon done right", "Pokemon would be forced to consider better gameplay now that there's competition". It's basically the same topic of people that want Baldurs Gate 3 to be a Action game because they can't stomach turn-based except it's inverted, the Action game people are the popular side. Pokemon can make "a game", a one off at most that may cater to the wants of those people, but don't expect them to over haul their main franchise RPG series Like how Final Fantasy made the jump from turn-based to Action oriented. Pokemon is a kids franchise and therefore will always cater to kids, the easy game play and tutorial will always come with that territory, there are people who are tired of that, but will ultimately have to come with terms that they are not the target audience. They also have to consider competitive Pokemon. Unlike Final fantasy who doesn't have a PvP system, Pokemon World Championship is a global operation of Local, Regional and World tournaments. That for most part remained unchanged and almost impossible to convert. Yeah consider the Pokemon group declaring that the mainline Pokemon games are now FPS survival and require a different skill set to compete in tournaments, you won't be seeing the same crowd from last year. Armed with that understanding I'm just annoyed at the constant non-stop comments of people heralding Palworld as the catalyst of Pokemon's change. Palworld is a great game, I just wish people wouldn't parrot people's dissatisfaction to the Pokemon franchise on it.

      ​@@dirzzyeah... other than the QOL, and the fluidity of the open world exploration with riding your companions, petting them or letting them walk by you whenever, I haven't seen people suggesting Poémon wholesale taking up the Palworld formula.
      Granted some phrase stuff loosely, like 'Palworld is everything I wanted in a Pokémon game's but that usually just means 'the creature mechanics of Palworld have great stuff I'm genuinely surprised and disappointed Pokémon hasn't implemented already, 'cuz it would have been an obvious natural fit'.
      I heard no one actually advocate for guns, or sweatshops in Pokémon.
      Though on the action game aspect, I'd be down for a real-time combat remake/spinoff Pokémon series.
      They should absolutely keep the turn-based core series.
      But if they go the Final Fantasy route and bring out 'Pokémon Grand Red/Blue' on next gen switch, where you have Gen1, an open world Kanto the size of Palpagos island and the battles handle like fighting games instead of turn based, that would be awesome. And that still doesn't go into Palworld's genre, more similar to Naruto Broken Bond back in the Xbox360, which was an open world x fighting game.
      And with the difference in region/generation aside the genre I don't think it would eat a lot into the mainline games profits, but would bring back quite a lot of old fans or people who love the creatures but find the gameplay of a turn based RPG not their vibe. But that's not my call to make.
      What I have a problem on the Palworld end of the discussion is the 'I don't care it's theft, it's fun' crowd...granted at this level of fame the simpleton crowd is inevitable. But while Palworld's assets are either legitimately licenced scenery or in-house built models, and they did an amazing job coherently mixing and balancing many genres, their audio and visual designs are often blatantly close to their inspiration and that's not the most quality look.
      Or the other degenerate crowd getting their kicks on how cruel you can be in the game... yeah, it's there, and I'm glad it's there, variety gives weight to choice. But the amount of Psycho vs wholesome gameplay representation is honestly scaring me but there is definitely room for the second too.

    For the people saying Palworld is a better pokemon they are wrong. I have played the game for about the last week and it is more Ark than pokemon. the only thing they have in common is you capture creatures and there are npc groups that can attack you. You are going on a coming of age story where you are facing challenges to prove yourself and even possibly save the world.
    everything else from the UI, crafting, giving the pals jobs around the base, resource gathering, even the bones of the story are from Ark/ other survival games; You get washed up on a deserted island and you have to survive a thrive using the local flora and fauna. You can even tell they got a lot of the stock assets from unreal like ark, especially when it comes to base building, and there's nothing wrong there since the tools are available to be used in that way.
    I think the people mad about it just want something to be mad about and since people online have marketed it "pokemon with guns" since when it comes to creature collecting that is the first thing that springs to mind for most and it became popular it triggered them, because if truly were concerned then Temtem would have gotten the same backlash since it follows the pokemon formula closer and was a bit more mature but sadly it has faded from collective memory.

It starts off by suggesting the only reason "pokemon fans" as if theyre the only ones who possibly have a reason to dislike the palword devs,"hate" palword is because they're nostalgically biased towards pokemon and cant stand other games. Even though pokemon the concept of monster collectors and wasnt the first of the genre and theyre have been many others since who didnt get near the same amount of criticism palworld did but alright. But then you go on to claim that the argument starts and ends with copyright infringement and palword has a smaller fan base so even if it did steal ideas Nintendo isnt currently sueing them so you should shut up as if copyright infringement is the only problem palworlds pals have. Just because something skirts the law of copyright does not make the design original nor does it mean that it should be viewed as quality that stands on its own. There are several pals that clearly are based on exsisting pokemon or copy certain design aspects of pokemon features. What bothers me is that this is clearly an attempt to cash in on a market of disaffected pokemon who do want a different type of game but have chosen to champion this poor escuse for a release. At least when Temtem tried this they had original designs an original format in singke player in double battles but not nearly the same staying power. I say all this to say its disingenuous at best to say you possibly cant have a problem with something unless you are culturally bought in to the opposing thing.
