It is, but it's Pokemon fast-forwarded 10 years into the future, where Game Freak has stopped pretending they care about the combat system and has completely embraced the open world slop they've been introducing for the past two generations.

No it isn't, talk to the people who play Palworld, it's Pokemon fans who both think the games are too easy but also seethe the very moment you mention competitive battling and insist "that's not what Pokemon is about" and that's about "going on adventures".
It's the kind of people who think Pokemon Stadiums or Battle Revolution were boring.
Theres a reason why they removed Set mode and why even gym leaders won't have 6 pokemon, or even pokemon with more than 3 moves. The mainline games do nothing to teach you how to actually play the battling part of the game and try to make it as easy as possible to where you are just pressing A over and over. Which makes competitive battling an even bigger whiplash when people have any kind of semblance of strategy.
Black person, anyone who has played more than just Pokemon in the past 10 years hates both.
Pokemon is shit because it's old and played up, and Palworld is the same Early Access Survival Crafting slop, but because it has Pokemons you pokegays eat it up.

Don't mistake liking a game series for "brand loyalty" most people are not so cucked that they play IP defence for free.

golly, how slow are you to not connect these dots??
More like you pokegays are such hostages that you think mechanics that every other Triple A game has already burned to the ground are fun.
I pity you, you see Early Access Surival Game #44104813901 but because it has Pokemons you eat it up.

Yes, that "bread" being basically any non-monster catching game.
Seriously, what's the appeal? These games are 10 years behind every other game, specially in terms of graphics and gameplay.
In fact, it's so far behind you are impressed by a casualized version of Kenshi.
Not even Assassins Creed and COD players are this much of a bunch of battered wives.
>if you don't like Pokemon for what trannies like it you are a troony
PokeBlack folk really can't handle the moment someone doesn't eat up this franchise's numaleization.
No, you hijacked it, Scarlet and Violet, and Arceus are the kind of open world slop full of hecking wholesome interactions with the hecking wholesome Pokemoninos you worship so much.
If we had hijacked the franchise none of you would be able to beat the Pokemon League.
Yea...yeah.
I've been wanting this since Pokemon Snap & Colosseum.
Glad I lived to see a real breathing world of fantasy creatures.
Its the kinda shit I wanted to do when watching the anime when I was 7.
That I always thought gamefreak was working towards.
I thought with every pokemon mainline release "they just dont have the hardware yet, maybe next time" over and over, every year.
For nearly 30 years.
I always wanted bulbasaur plant seeds and grow berries, squirtle to water the plants, and charmander to light a campfire.
Finally, its here. Just, brought by others who seemingly carried the same love for a world of mythical creatures living with humanity that I had as a child.
I know its cringe, but thats just what I always dreamed about as a kid.
You can drop the manly man facade you're putting on moron, your dad is not here to call you a sissy and hit you with the belt because you're not enough of a man, it's ok to feel emotions
Nice projection of your daddy issues, American, but I find it hard to believe anyone gets any emotional response from having a bunch of canned animations repeat randomly.
No, when I was a kid I used to dream of something like a Budokai Tenkaichi 3 where the fighters were Pokemons.
I always thought Pokemon could take a lot of things from Dragon Ball.
>You were never a real fan
Sure, I could probably beat like 99% of people in a Pokemon battle, but yeah, I'm not a real fan because I don't have those fantasies.
Not my fault Pokemon, and Digimon, and Yokai Watch and Palworld are all lame as frick.

I have no interest in pal world but that's a fair complaint against pokemon. There's really not enough interaction with them outside of making them battle.

Think is Amie deserved to be removed, just like picnics need to be removed in the next games.
You let people press A to make their Pokemons roar once and your franchise gets filled with turbohomosexuals.
Ideally, Pokemon would go back to having pre-Gen 4 interactivity with Pokemon, battles and nothing else.
In Masters Ethan talks about how his cyndaquil is the best partner because his fire is useful for lighting up the dark and roasting berries, and he can battle. Only one of those is possible in SV. Fire pals can do all 3 in Palworld lol
And yet it's still the same boring concept of running around an empty open world farming resources and not facing a single challenge because otherwise the casuals will cry.
Not that it matters, it appeals to the same casuals from Pokemon.
Just look at them, throw some basic survival and farming mechanics and they lose their shit.
If something kills Pokemon it'll be having to pander to a fanbase that doesn't actually like Pokemon games and just want pet simulators.
>are you trying to say Palworld is more casual than pokemon?
Yes compared to the online PvP, the single player is just made from the ground up so casuals don't lose since, again, all they care about is the "wholesome adventures".
Fricking homosexuals all of them.
>Biggest proof that even in Ganker most Pokemon fans are casual shitters who just want to go around hugging and petting the hecking cute Pokemoninos
This game is about making your pals do manual labor and harvesting them for meat and other good.
This is the kind of homosexual gay "hecking wholesome" gay shit that appeals so much to nuPokemon fans, so no wonder they all go in droves towards it.
It's pitiful how even the supposed adult Pokemon is still riddled with this numale homosexualry.
Still waiting for someone to make a realistic Pokemon where they acknowledge that these are extremely dangerous creatures that could kill even by accident.
>Still waiting for someone to make a realistic Pokemon where they acknowledge that these are extremely dangerous creatures that could kill even by accident.
That was Legends Arceus already, the first game that outright stated people get mauled to death by pokemon.
No the old pokemon manga did this earlier. A regular poison attack there could melt solid stone and all the bad guys were trying to murder the protagonists fr

Pokemon wasn't about cute animals, that's what numales and women think since they only started playing in the homosexual era that started with XY.

Ummm i don't get it with one is true or it just a massive pokegay cope?
No, I'm saying that Pokemon is gay, and that Palworld despite the whole thing being "Pokemon for adults" somehow still managed to be gay.
Why is it so hard to make a Pokemon with Monster Hunter's aesthetics?
Sun and moon's problem could easily be solved with a skip cutscene option but game freak is way too moronic for that.
>Sun and moon's problem could easily be solved with a skip cutscene option
See what I mean? People here unironically think the only thing wrong with SM is that there's no skip cutscene button despite being legitimately awful games, all because of le waifus.
No it isn't, it's edge for a Californian Marvel movie watching millennials, just like for them horror isn't actually about being scared, it's about the monsters being scary at first but turning out to be hecking wholesome and innocent in the end.
Same thing happens with Pokemon, even though Pokemon's setting would make for a great horror game.
>you stop giving a shit what others think
It's not about what others think, but the fact that you are playing something obviously made for kids.
In this sense Palworld is a disapointment because I heard a lot about how it's Pokemon for adults, but seems to be more for the "adults" who buy a shitload of Pokemon merchandise.
>I don't give a frick about any of those.
That's the issue. >whines about how Pokemon doesn't have realism slop >TPCI hired the Tekken team, that one gay making realistic big-ish Pokemon fanart, and Goyflix to cater to Pokedudebros >turns out nobody gave a frick about those , all of them flopped and got their plug pulled

What any difference to Namco doing a mainline Pokemon game to them working on anime sims or arena fighters? You're sitting there crying daddy Ishihara didn't brand it like a mainline™ title like with PLA or Let's Go.

Because you're complaining why it's not branded as a mainline game that plays and looks like Namco's licensed shovelware.
>Why the frick would I want that?
It's everything you wanted but it's a mainline™ title!!
Why does 1 + 2 equals 3?
But both Palworld and Pokemon are halfway there, the worlds of these games have no stylization at all.
Might as well make the creatures themselves fit the world.
But both Palworld and Pokemon are halfway there, the worlds of these games have no stylization at all.

Pokemon looks like a low budget Xenoblade game and Palworld looks like Star Ocean 6 by 10 people.
Not even close to that but you can keep dreaming about your Worldslop.
>no you can't enjoy adventuring with pokemon you have to only ever do battles and nothing else!!!
Lol, lmao even. I like pokemon battles but this argument is moronic as frick.
Stupid question, but is Palworld actually any good? Part of me's considering trying it, but I'm not really into the Rust/DayZ-style survival and base building mechanic. Plus, the art style of the Pals clashes with the rest of the game and that just bugs me to no end.
I'm on the same boat as
I still don't quite know what this game is. Is it a monster raising game? Survival crafting? TPS with light RPG elements? Tycoon game? From what I watched, it's a mix of all of these things but I'm not sure what the main goal/point is. I may dip into it because I do like some of the monster designs, but I also loathe games like Rust or ARK.
The survival/crafting mechanic is a bit tedious at first, but you can change the settings to make it a lot quicker and easier which is nice. The pals are really cool, and do cool things, and you can improve any pal and even breed them to create a good team. I like it a lot, but I'd say maybe pirate it if you're curious.
>I'm not really into the Rust/DayZ-style survival and base building mechanic
it feels like a half finished survival game. would not recommend unless you were already a fan of the genre
You're the first anon to make me feel like I haven't been gaslit. Thank you. This game is ugly as sin and I don't get why the monsters have to copy the Pokemon artstyle
based. I also couldn't help but notice how many outfits show off the female characters armpits
This is another thing that I hope Palworld absorbs and frees Pokemon from, the coomer subhumans.
Don't think people everyone's forgotten that you 3rd worlders white knighted absolute garbage like Sun and Moon or Sword and Shield or even the fricking SV DLC because of the hecking wholesome waifus.
Seriously, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced Showdown is the best game of this genre, it just rips out all the cancer out of Pokemon.

Lets not forget, you /vp/gays unironically defend the movie "games" that Sun and Moon are because of the fricking waifus.
I like aspects of it, the combat for example, I really like battling others.
Other elements of the game are repetitive and subpar at best, and the fanbase is full of casuals who just want a glorified Tamagotchi.
also >go into a biome >there is a pack of a specific unique not-pokemon type >they interact with each other in different ways, up to and including battling each other >not-trainers will occasionally try to fight the not-pokemon randomly and get their shit pushed in usually

>they interact with each other in different ways, up to and including battling each other
No wonder you gays liked PLA so much, it was made from the groundup for you casuals, full of homosexual hecking wholesome animations and not an ounce of challenge in the entire game.
Yes, all challenge has been removed in their now 10 year long quest to pander to casuals and Pikachu lovers.
certainly unlike the regular pokemon where you mindlessly mash a from start to finish
>certainly unlike the regular pokemon where you mindlessly mash a from start to finish
True, that's a huge problem, the thing is I bet if we did things like replacing the gimmick of gyms having a specific type with having a different battle style like making them focused on stalling, hazards or full offense, all you gays would cry that your team can't beat it even after overleveling, all because you caught a team of shitmons that decided were "hecking cute".
>Legends bad!
See you on Pokemon day! :^)
I'll be there to shit on whatever casualized crap they announce.
Complaining about other games being casual in the context of a pokemon discussion is asinine. No mainline pokemon game was ever even remotely difficult. The only things that approach a challenge are battle facilities and those sort of pinpoint the problem with making a "difficult" pokemon game in the sense that it's impossible to do without making the game a bunch of uninterruptible gauntlets and/or severely restricting the player's resources. Gamefreak sure as hell isn't going to alienate their playerbase like that so it's silly to discuss. At best they'd add some difficulty settings but we've seen their attempt at that which doesn't inspire confidence

Red/Blue were barebones, I don't blame them for the jank and because it only kept improving from there, peaking with HGSS.
All they had to do was keep improving, get rid of singles, get rid of type-specific Gyms so you don't just go to a grass gym and solo everyone with a random Pokemon that has Flamethrower.
I can go play red on my Gameboy right now focus on Nidoking and solo the whole game in 3-5 hours ,pokemon was never hard you were just a fricking kid when you played it.
it has depth, the problem is the games, since they are pandered to casual adventuregays, aren't nearly hard enough to make you learn how to team build.
It's the equivalent of having a fighting game that is so easy it doesn't requiere you learn any combos or even how to guard.

How to win singles?
1.Spam stat boosting move and sweep
2.Stall until opponent mindbreaks
3.Basically 4D chess your opponent into switching into checks(has a type combination that lols at all of their moves) to your pokemon and once those checks are gone they are completely fricked
The bulk of showdown battles are basically 3 because its a constant switch off until someone loses their check is done for.
This is obviously extremely boring to children, which is why we had the kiddy type based gym leaders and extremely moronic maingame trainer battle AI.

>Gamefreak deserves to be dethroned and shit upon.
Showdown already dethroned them, it didn't need any animations or even an open world at all, and it's free too.

No pokemon wont ever become a hardcore horror game, have you even played a pokemon game?

It's the same as PLA, it's not hard, it's just time consuming due to all the time wasters the open world is filled with.
And trust me, I know about this, I've played Kenshi for almost 10 years.

Random game out of the gate: has effects that make sense, and has pet animations for every character, some clip badly, but the fact it has the animations at all is fun.
You can dislike palworld all you want, but its success might actually kick gamefreaks ass into gear to make a GOOD pokemon game with love and care again. and if so, that is a GOOD THING for the series.
>might actually kick gamefreaks ass into gear to make a GOOD pokemon game with love and care
I have long since given up such fanciful dreams. The things that I want will never ever happen in Pokemon
No, the only thing GF will get from this is that people want for the combat to get even more casualized and to fill the games with even more open world slop, when the games NEED to trim open world shit.
>the fact it has the animations at all is fun.
This is post-2018 games in a nutshell.
The gameplay is shit but at least it has animations, RDR2 being the biggest example of this, it's fricking insufferable.
Nah, GameFreak will probably go, "People complain about no Secret Bases... This game has base building... They want base building!", throw in a shitty half baked version where you build your own base in a wilderness with half baked resource gathering, then call themselves geniuses and pat themselves on the back
God willing, yes. It would finally be a good Pokemon game. Somehow GF will frick it up anyway.
>Nintendogs clone would be a good Pokemon game
So /vp/ not only are casuals, but are the type that would play the new Assassins Creed games and think they are genius.

You're being bamboozled dummies. The same things they say are bad about Pokemon are the same things they like in Palworld. It doesn't matter what it is, it's bad only when Pokemon does it.

While you're being a joyless homosexual, I'm going to be playing and adventuring with my Pals.
So has anyone in this thread beaten that syndicate boss yet? She totally pushed my shit in. I get that its a raid, with the 10 minute timer and everything
Second try. Ground type Pal like Rushoar beats her shit in. Also make sure to switch whenever your pal's health gets to about a quarter, by the time you cycle through them all, the first one is healed to full
I swear all the hate has to be seethe from pokecultist who brown nose gamefreak harder than Joe Merrick and they're jealous they can't do all the stuff from palworld in pokemon.
Just goes to show you the amount of people that would be willing to purchase a Pokemon game on PC. Oversaturation would be a thing if they kept the 3 year cycle, but it would still be massive
You Pokegays wouldnt know what a good game is even if you had a gun pointed at you.
Fricking Call of Duty games have more entertainment and artistic value than the entire monster catching genre.
The fact that you ate up Early Access survival slop means you'd eat up shit like a Pokemon with a ubisoft open world.
Literally everyone has a computer so is it really that hard to believe that it would have a lot of players, considering the controversy around it giving it attention and that it has guns which Americans love, ofc it's gonna have a lot of players.
This reads exactly like how my ex gf used to post when she was angry on twitter. Just passive-aggressively trying to larp as some dude bro because she thought people on social media would take her opinions more seriously if they thought the person on the other side of the screen was a guy.
>people keep calling it Pokemon for adults >designs are all the kind of shit that appeals to 5 year old girls >the pokemons dont even look realistic, in fact they are weirdly stilized despite the world having a realistic artstyle
Why does this genre keep trying to be as childish as possible
Mate, monhun is a way smaller franchise than pokemon with a limited appeal, pokemon-style designs appeal to the lowest common denominator which means a way bigger userbase, "realistic" monsters wouldn't attract anywhere close to the same amount of people.
Did your dumb ass think that pokemon's "rival" was gonna be "realistic monster tamer thing"? No, pokemon's "rival" was always gonna be other kiddy shit.
shitfreak will never get it together. gen 10 will be as poorly optimized as SV but the switch 2 will be able to brute force its performance and pokehomosexuals will cheer and pretend shitfreak fixed their shit. also there will be rudimentary base building and pokejobs 2.0 because shitfreak are gormless trend-chasing pussies.
The battles could certainly be as dynamic as in DBZ, at least in the anime.
What they shat out was actually pretty accurate to the games in how most of the time the Pokemons would just be standing in front of each other and throw attacks instead of actually fighting.
I honestly thought /vp/ would be different being Ganker and all but holy shit, this place is even more Reddit than Reddit itself with the whole "I WANT HECKING ADVENTURES ABOUT THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP" shit.
>What is the the tumblr porn ban of 2018-2019
It's literally the same batch of fles homosexuals, just on a more terrible site with a more vocal platform.
Don't forget ableist. Tumblr was bad, but I feel the fetishes and questionable lifestyles were more contained.
Now those same schizos are wearing that shit like badges of (dis)honor.
This, pokemon has always been more popular among kids and women. The anime being about adventure with your fellow pokemon and also giving the spotlight to their resident cutemon, Pikachu. That guy imagined some fanbase that never existed.
I hope this game becomes an example why game developers shouldn't listen to losers on twitter who complain about every damn thing, as long as the game is fun that's all that matters.
It's pretty far on the low end at best. Most of the things it does differently from your average jarpig are cancer. It also doesn't allow for a lot of variety, which is why Game Freak has taken to stapling gimmicks to it's ass like it has been since the 3DS days.
Not me, I uninstalled it. It's not Pokemon
>It's not Pokemon
That's the best part though
It is, but it's Pokemon fast-forwarded 10 years into the future, where Game Freak has stopped pretending they care about the combat system and has completely embraced the open world slop they've been introducing for the past two generations.
Good, my child. Keep consuming product
I like it. Competition is good. Maybe it gets nintendo and gamefreak to shit out an actually decent game for once
>>Ganker
Wrong board
>Gankeridya
>Gankeralworld
if people can post pokemon on Ganker is fair that you people can also post palworld on /vp/
Embarassing. Deal with it, cope, Palworld is more popular than Pokemon at the moment.
TPC officially acknowledged it, and will do nothing, so you have to discuss Palworld.
>Pokemon fans going in droves towards Legend Arceus on steroids
Biggest proof that even in Ganker most Pokemon fans are casual shitters who just want to go around hugging and petting the hecking cute Pokemoninos.
>Pokemon fans
Most hate it
No it isn't, talk to the people who play Palworld, it's Pokemon fans who both think the games are too easy but also seethe the very moment you mention competitive battling and insist "that's not what Pokemon is about" and that's about "going on adventures".
It's the kind of people who think Pokemon Stadiums or Battle Revolution were boring.
Theres a reason why they removed Set mode and why even gym leaders won't have 6 pokemon, or even pokemon with more than 3 moves. The mainline games do nothing to teach you how to actually play the battling part of the game and try to make it as easy as possible to where you are just pressing A over and over. Which makes competitive battling an even bigger whiplash when people have any kind of semblance of strategy.
comp is like one of the only things in Pokemon that has been consistently interesting. though i will admit that it's not for me
>mfw seeing some autist a few weeks ago seething because Kieran in ID had a slightly competitive team and his Pokemons had items
Only the shills hate it.
Black person, anyone who has played more than just Pokemon in the past 10 years hates both.
Pokemon is shit because it's old and played up, and Palworld is the same Early Access Survival Crafting slop, but because it has Pokemons you pokegays eat it up.
pokemon fans like it, its the poketroons that are in danger of having bugs shoved into their anuses that dislike it.
Speak for yourself. I'm a long time Pokémon fan, and I'm having a blast with Palworld.
I like Pokémon, I also played Palworld.
Don't mistake liking a game series for "brand loyalty" most people are not so cucked that they play IP defence for free.
I have no doubt because both appeal to the millennial "dog parent" manchild. Meanwhile Showdown keeps mogging this entire genre.
>Most hate it
Guess again, moron.
I guess that means Gen 10 will remove battling all together and turn Pokemon into a Nintendogs clone.
God willing, yes. It would finally be a good Pokemon game. Somehow GF will frick it up anyway.
> most monster-tamer games fans enjoy the game for the monsters and the gameplay
golly, I sure do wonder why??
LOL
sure, and how does been a "monster-tamer" fan relate to spamming a pokemon board with shtposts from another game?
because pokemon is bad, and Palworld is good.
> Palworld is a fun game that's designed to be a fun game.
> pokemon is a rushed cash grab designed to sell merch.
> FREE-THINKING pokemon fans are so egregiously offended by ScarViol's poor quality that when they see a good monster tamer game finally come out of the woodworks, they immediately jump ship, since we've been waiting to play a good game for many years now
golly, how slow are you to not connect these dots??
I can't tell if this sarcasm or not
also if what you're saying is true this wouldve happened when Bugsnax came out lmaoooo
More like you pokegays are such hostages that you think mechanics that every other Triple A game has already burned to the ground are fun.
I pity you, you see Early Access Surival Game #44104813901 but because it has Pokemons you eat it up.
I would say you'd even unironically play Pokemon phone games too, but you'be been doing that since 2016.
So you want him to keep eating shit even though there is bread available? moron
Yes, that "bread" being basically any non-monster catching game.
Seriously, what's the appeal? These games are 10 years behind every other game, specially in terms of graphics and gameplay.
In fact, it's so far behind you are impressed by a casualized version of Kenshi.
Not even Assassins Creed and COD players are this much of a bunch of battered wives.
No, child, these are your delusions speaking. It is YOU who is the casual shitter, for you do not want to immerse yourself in the world.
>yes you might be better than 99% of the people who play this game, but you are still a casual because of immersion, a meaningless marketing buzzword
it sold more than PLA too.
It's also half the price of pla and it's on steam.
It hasn't yet.
PLA sold 14 million.
>already 7 mill in only 5 days
>vs only 6.5 in its first week.
>sold more
>not yet
>ACTUALLY, ACCORDING TO THE FIRST 5 DAY METRIC
ok, any other goal posts you wanna move around?
it sold more in the first 5 days. that just means the hype was high. if its final sales numbers are even higher, that's actually proof of something.
>who just want to go around hugging and petting the hecking cute Pokemoninos.
Unironically yes.
Then go buy a pet.
*and then go donate to trans rights advocacy organisations
sorry, forgot to add that part
>if you don't like Pokemon for what trannies like it you are a troony
PokeBlack folk really can't handle the moment someone doesn't eat up this franchise's numaleization.
morons like you hijacked the series and killed it, of course people that actually liked the old games moved to something that catered to them.
No, you hijacked it, Scarlet and Violet, and Arceus are the kind of open world slop full of hecking wholesome interactions with the hecking wholesome Pokemoninos you worship so much.
If we had hijacked the franchise none of you would be able to beat the Pokemon League.
Yea...yeah.
I've been wanting this since Pokemon Snap & Colosseum.
Glad I lived to see a real breathing world of fantasy creatures.
Its the kinda shit I wanted to do when watching the anime when I was 7.
That I always thought gamefreak was working towards.
I thought with every pokemon mainline release "they just dont have the hardware yet, maybe next time" over and over, every year.
For nearly 30 years.
I always wanted bulbasaur plant seeds and grow berries, squirtle to water the plants, and charmander to light a campfire.
Finally, its here. Just, brought by others who seemingly carried the same love for a world of mythical creatures living with humanity that I had as a child.
I know its cringe, but thats just what I always dreamed about as a kid.
All I'm getting is that, for some reason, casuals are in love with the gayest parts of Pokemon.
You can drop the manly man facade you're putting on moron, your dad is not here to call you a sissy and hit you with the belt because you're not enough of a man, it's ok to feel emotions
Nice projection of your daddy issues, American, but I find it hard to believe anyone gets any emotional response from having a bunch of canned animations repeat randomly.
You're the same kind of kissless homosexual that says or thinks like pic related.
>he didn’t want to live in a pokemon world
You were never a real fan, and you deserve to witness the rape of this dogshit franchise.
No, when I was a kid I used to dream of something like a Budokai Tenkaichi 3 where the fighters were Pokemons.
I always thought Pokemon could take a lot of things from Dragon Ball.
>You were never a real fan
Sure, I could probably beat like 99% of people in a Pokemon battle, but yeah, I'm not a real fan because I don't have those fantasies.
>tasteless shitposter is also compgay AND a DBZigger
Sasuga…
Not my fault Pokemon, and Digimon, and Yokai Watch and Palworld are all lame as frick.
Nane one thing DB did Journey of the West didn't already do?
Literal gays like you are why im glad Pokken never took off between Pokemon and the FGC.
Don't care, Pokken sucked.
Pokken was your last bet on the action genre pigsty forefronting the core titles.
At least other traditional JRPG gays can rest knowing Pokemon won't fall for the same trap Yoshi P tried with FFXIV, because that means other devs would have to fall for the same shit.
>Pokken was your last bet on the action genre pigsty forefronting the core titles.
I didn't want that, I just wanted a spinoff, not that the main games would drop their combat system.
>I just wanted a spinoff,
That was your spinoff.
Yeah, and it sucked, wasn't like BT3 at all either.
Both are anime arena fighters and BT3 unironicly has worse combat than later Naruto Storm games.
>FFXIV
*FFXVI
I honestly don't even remember FFs beyond XIV.
True
Why the frick would anyone want to be a real fan of anything? People do know that "fan" is short for "fanatic", right? Being fanatic about anything is a bad thing.
I have no interest in pal world but that's a fair complaint against pokemon. There's really not enough interaction with them outside of making them battle.
>There's really not enough interaction with them outside of making them battle.
What, that gay shit of Pokemon Amie plaging the 3DS games wasn't enough for you?
it lasted for one gen. Another issue of game freak constantly removing features constantly each gen .
>Another issue of game freak constantly removing features constantly each gen .
Think is Amie deserved to be removed, just like picnics need to be removed in the next games.
You let people press A to make their Pokemons roar once and your franchise gets filled with turbohomosexuals.
Ideally, Pokemon would go back to having pre-Gen 4 interactivity with Pokemon, battles and nothing else.
In Masters Ethan talks about how his cyndaquil is the best partner because his fire is useful for lighting up the dark and roasting berries, and he can battle. Only one of those is possible in SV. Fire pals can do all 3 in Palworld lol
unfathomably based
"competitive" battletards and their influences have been a disaster for the pokemon race
It's funny how they're not shamed and mocked like competitive Smashers, they even had a huge pedo drama a couple months before Smash got hit by it.
PLA is a shitty tech demo with one single feature, Palworld is an early access and yet it has far more content and polish than that trash
And yet it's still the same boring concept of running around an empty open world farming resources and not facing a single challenge because otherwise the casuals will cry.
The difference is that Palworld can be updated. Maybe they never do it but still, an EA is mogging hard "the best pokemon game on switch"
Not that it matters, it appeals to the same casuals from Pokemon.
Just look at them, throw some basic survival and farming mechanics and they lose their shit.
If something kills Pokemon it'll be having to pander to a fanbase that doesn't actually like Pokemon games and just want pet simulators.
>WHAT??? YOU CAN PLAY BOTH AND NOT HAVE TO CHOOSE ONE OR THE OTHER??
No, what I'm saying is you should avoid both.
>you should avoid both
Wrong, he should play Palworld.
Why? It's open world drivel.
are you trying to say Palworld is more casual than pokemon?
because there are actually fights and bosses in palworld that I can lose
>are you trying to say Palworld is more casual than pokemon?
Yes compared to the online PvP, the single player is just made from the ground up so casuals don't lose since, again, all they care about is the "wholesome adventures".
Fricking homosexuals all of them.
>Biggest proof that even in Ganker most Pokemon fans are casual shitters who just want to go around hugging and petting the hecking cute Pokemoninos
This game is about making your pals do manual labor and harvesting them for meat and other good.
Same, but I hope they add more bosses, a Pals vs Mechas war like Avatar would be interesting
I come here to see a Palworld thread on page one. I'm not surprised.
8 million people did, more to come
This is the kind of homosexual gay "hecking wholesome" gay shit that appeals so much to nuPokemon fans, so no wonder they all go in droves towards it.
It's pitiful how even the supposed adult Pokemon is still riddled with this numale homosexualry.
Still waiting for someone to make a realistic Pokemon where they acknowledge that these are extremely dangerous creatures that could kill even by accident.
I think digishit might be more your speed
No because Digimon has the problem of making stupid shit like "hey look, this Digimon is a literal gun".
Nah, even digimon is too whimsical for this dude.
Okay edgelord.
>Still waiting for someone to make a realistic Pokemon where they acknowledge that these are extremely dangerous creatures that could kill even by accident.
That was Legends Arceus already, the first game that outright stated people get mauled to death by pokemon.
It doesn't count unless the Pokemon have MonHun textures.
>That was Legends Arceus already, the first game that outright stated people get mauled to death by pokemon.
And all of that was Giratinas fault
No the old pokemon manga did this earlier. A regular poison attack there could melt solid stone and all the bad guys were trying to murder the protagonists fr
I too await them finally making a pokemon monster hunter game. PLA had the foundations, but they need to go all the way.
Found the smoothbrain "World" gay who thinks Rise is worse due to "muh graphicks"
>inb4 gensgay boogeyman
No, Rise is worse because it has half the monsters than World.
And both are inferior to GU anyway.
>because it has half the monsters than World.
Wow it's almost as if every MH do this.
Let me guess, you wanted a Unova equivalent where all monsters are not returning but just some archetypical versions of recurring monsters and pretend it's all new.
Oh wait, you're talking about the amount.
Again, same shit.
>SFA3 is better because....MUH BIG ROSTER MUTHAFRICKA
never mind the fact it has garbage like the ism system and has less real gameplay variety as every other games. Just like World being inferior slop.
>game is about cute animals
>get mad when one of them does something cute
>game is about cute animals
Pokemon wasn't about cute animals, that's what numales and women think since they only started playing in the homosexual era that started with XY.
>Nyyyyoooooo don't play it this game is an edgy shit with guns for cringe normies unlike POKEMON
>Nyyyyooooooo don't play it this game is hecking wholesome gay shit for cringe normies unlike POKEMON
Ummm i don't get it with one is true or it just a massive pokegay cope?
It's two different parts of the Pokemon fanbase loudly complaining.
No, I'm saying that Pokemon is gay, and that Palworld despite the whole thing being "Pokemon for adults" somehow still managed to be gay.
Why is it so hard to make a Pokemon with Monster Hunter's aesthetics?
>Sun and moon's problem could easily be solved with a skip cutscene option
See what I mean? People here unironically think the only thing wrong with SM is that there's no skip cutscene button despite being legitimately awful games, all because of le waifus.
>legitimately awful games, all because of le waifus
N's wiener sucking in gen 5 was way worse. You are probably just gay.
Don't really care about gen 5, always prefered Platinum and HGSS, but at least it wans't as offensively bad as Gen 7
The second is just one really autistic Anon crying, he's doing this in every thread
palworld is edgy tho
It has the cutesy aesthetic juxtaposed with guns and factory work
No it isn't, it's edge for a Californian Marvel movie watching millennials, just like for them horror isn't actually about being scared, it's about the monsters being scary at first but turning out to be hecking wholesome and innocent in the end.
Same thing happens with Pokemon, even though Pokemon's setting would make for a great horror game.
the devs said they added guns because "americans like them"
While you're being a joyless homosexual, I'm going to be playing and adventuring with my Pals.
At least I wont develop aids since I'm not a homosexual.
Do adults not look at shit like this or the Pokemon picnics and feel embarassed at how childish it is?
I'm guessing you're still a insecure teenager. When you get older, you stop giving a shit what others think, and just do things you enjoy.
>you stop giving a shit what others think
It's not about what others think, but the fact that you are playing something obviously made for kids.
In this sense Palworld is a disapointment because I heard a lot about how it's Pokemon for adults, but seems to be more for the "adults" who buy a shitload of Pokemon merchandise.
Wasted digits.
do you think petting your fricking dog is embarassing?
I think having a pet is embarassing, both for the owner and the pet, animals would fare better out in the wild.
Pokken lost
Detective Pikachu lost
Netflix First Movie lost
Good? I don't give a frick about any of those.
>I don't give a frick about any of those.
That's the issue.
>whines about how Pokemon doesn't have realism slop
>TPCI hired the Tekken team, that one gay making realistic big-ish Pokemon fanart, and Goyflix to cater to Pokedudebros
>turns out nobody gave a frick about those , all of them flopped and got their plug pulled
So tell me why Ishihara hasn't won you to eat their garbage yet?
*bug-ish
Maybe because none of those were mainline games?
Oh look, Pokemon looks realistic, too bad it's in a shitty movie.
>I-If it mainline, I'll g-gladly eat it!
You sure about that or do i have to remind you of that new baby show Toriyama is making for you DB spics? (or Super by extension)
Yeah, I want to see that in the mainline games, not in some movie, I want to play.
>do i have to remind you of that new baby show Toriyama is making for you DB spics
What does that even have to do with anything.
>I want to see that in the mainline games,
Translation: TPC didn't give Pokken the core/mainline™ label, so it didn't appeal me!
>What does that even have to do with anything.
It's merely an example of why your poor excuse doesn't hold up.
Imagine needing some senile hack to approve whatever garbage you need to digest in Dragon Ball. You're exactly the kind of moron they're looking for.
>TPC didn't give Pokken the core/mainline™ label, so it didn't appeal me!
No, it's because Pokken is not a JRPG.
>Imagine needing some senile hack to approve whatever garbage you need to digest in Dragon Ball.
But I don't, I think that new DB show looks terrible with all that kid shit.
>Pokken is not a JRPG
and neither is BT3, homosexual.
>But I don't
Yet there's DBhomosexuals trying to lap up to it because it's by Toriyama and it's Soiper-related, just like you crying TPCI didn't brand anime sims and realistism shite as mainline shit.
>et there's DBhomosexuals trying to lap up to it
And?
>just like you crying TPCI didn't brand anime sims and realistism shite as mainline shit.
And you are the one who keeps ignoring that my problem with those is that one is a movie and the other a fighting game, when what I want out of those things I asked is to be featured in the JRPGs, because I want that gameplay.
You are the schizo making shit up about "branding".
>And?
and what?
>you are the one who keeps ignoring that my problem
Your issue is TPCI not putting that simp label even though they greenlighted realistic slop and an anime sim fighter already.
>I asked is to be featured in the JRPGs
and I've said you've lost that chance since Pokken's flop. You're not getting your Jump Force x Pokemon game any time soon.
>and what?
And why did you even start going on about that DB show?
>Your issue is TPCI not putting that simp label even though they greenlighted realistic slop and an anime sim fighter already.
No, again,
>and I've said you've lost that chance since Pokken's flop
And why would I care about Pokken? It's a fighting game.
>You're not getting your Jump Force x Pokemon game any time soon.
Why the frick would I want that?
>And why did you even start going on about that DB show?
Read the first sentence of the last paragraph.
>No
Yes.
What any difference to Namco doing a mainline Pokemon game to them working on anime sims or arena fighters? You're sitting there crying daddy Ishihara didn't brand it like a mainline™ title like with PLA or Let's Go.
>And why would I care about Pokken? It's a fighting game.
Because you're complaining why it's not branded as a mainline game that plays and looks like Namco's licensed shovelware.
>Why the frick would I want that?
It's everything you wanted but it's a mainline™ title!!
Why does 1 + 2 equals 3?
Giving up stylization to appease normalgay 'muh realism' shitters like you is a suicidal move.
But both Palworld and Pokemon are halfway there, the worlds of these games have no stylization at all.
Might as well make the creatures themselves fit the world.
This
Pokemon looks like a low budget Xenoblade game and Palworld looks like Star Ocean 6 by 10 people.
Not even close to that but you can keep dreaming about your Worldslop.
There are claims that 6+ million people got it in a short span of time, but I don't believe it
I'm waiting for the Red Cross numbers, 6 million in 3 years with less than 10 developers seems really suspicious.
I hate this, if there's a part I hated out of the Switch games is having all the Pokemons cluttering the screen.
Lmao I used to laugh at my little brother when he played Roblox back in the day. Little shit was ahead of his time
Same, probably more fun than I've had in the last 4 Gens of Pokemon
Enjoy deez nuts
Goteem
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH
>no you can't enjoy adventuring with pokemon you have to only ever do battles and nothing else!!!
Lol, lmao even. I like pokemon battles but this argument is moronic as frick.
>I just hecking love my hecking adventures with my hecking wholesome cute Pokemoninos so hecking much
pic physically hurts to look at, Jesus fricking Christ GameFreak has you homosexuals by the balls
Stupid question, but is Palworld actually any good? Part of me's considering trying it, but I'm not really into the Rust/DayZ-style survival and base building mechanic. Plus, the art style of the Pals clashes with the rest of the game and that just bugs me to no end.
I'm on the same boat as
I still don't quite know what this game is. Is it a monster raising game? Survival crafting? TPS with light RPG elements? Tycoon game? From what I watched, it's a mix of all of these things but I'm not sure what the main goal/point is. I may dip into it because I do like some of the monster designs, but I also loathe games like Rust or ARK.
The survival/crafting mechanic is a bit tedious at first, but you can change the settings to make it a lot quicker and easier which is nice. The pals are really cool, and do cool things, and you can improve any pal and even breed them to create a good team. I like it a lot, but I'd say maybe pirate it if you're curious.
Just pirate it. Or pay a dollar on gamepass to rent it for two weeks. Either way you get your answer instead of listening to trolls or shills.
Just pirate it and see for yourself
>pirate it
link?
It's Day Z/Arma/The Forest but it also has anime monsters with guns.
It's PLA but you can actually ride and interact with every mons you catch, better graphics too
>It's PLA
Dropped.
>I'm not really into the Rust/DayZ-style survival and base building mechanic
it feels like a half finished survival game. would not recommend unless you were already a fan of the genre
You're the first anon to make me feel like I haven't been gaslit. Thank you. This game is ugly as sin and I don't get why the monsters have to copy the Pokemon artstyle
and frick crafting shit
It's oddly addicting. Like, you think you won't enjoy it, or buy it just to play around a bit and laugh at the dumb ass concept
Then end up sinking hours into it and going, "The game has bugs out the ass, the world is empty, how am I having fun the frick happened?"
Helps that you can customize a TON of the settings for each save at any time from the main menu
>Gamefreak: we need to remove skirts, our ESG overlords demand us so!
>Pocket Pair:
based. I also couldn't help but notice how many outfits show off the female characters armpits
This is another thing that I hope Palworld absorbs and frees Pokemon from, the coomer subhumans.
Don't think people everyone's forgotten that you 3rd worlders white knighted absolute garbage like Sun and Moon or Sword and Shield or even the fricking SV DLC because of the hecking wholesome waifus.
Seriously, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced Showdown is the best game of this genre, it just rips out all the cancer out of Pokemon.
>1 bug has been deposited in your anus
Ironic, considering trannies are the ones with Gardevoir and other pokefurshit avatars.
Don't you have some discord troony to find in /trash/ to "goon" with, Wenceslao?
> Seriously, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced Showdown is the best game of this genre, it just rips out all the cancer out of Pokemon.
Showdown has all the smogon cancer, so not only are you wrong, your stupid like skates at a waterpark.
>absolute garbage like Sun and Moon
Still better than your favorite gen.
>gayfreak shills ITT are now seething at this and going pro-puritan in a defensive coping maneuver
EL O EL
I've been shitting on waifugays, casuals and non-compgays for years, what are you talking about?
and what do you have to show for it?
>calls others Game Freak shills
>when his ilk has been defending games for years because of le waifus
Lets not forget, you /vp/gays unironically defend the movie "games" that Sun and Moon are because of the fricking waifus.
Sun and moon's problem could easily be solved with a skip cutscene option but game freak is way too moronic for that.
So do you like pokemon, or don't you?
I like aspects of it, the combat for example, I really like battling others.
Other elements of the game are repetitive and subpar at best, and the fanbase is full of casuals who just want a glorified Tamagotchi.
PalSEX!
>no granny panties or featureless black void
even genshin is losing got damn
I’d take Genshin girls over Pokegirls any day of the week
She mogs all Gen 9 women without even trying
It's gonna get censored once it on the PissStation and Switch Deux
>Visible cameltoe
Well, I'm sold.
That's where her buttcrack is...
Look closer. It runs from her buttcrack all the way up the front.
The moment I saw .webm related I realized that Gamefreak deserves to be dethroned and shit upon.
A soul animation for a single Pal has more effort and soul put into it than the past two Pokemon gens combined. Gamefreak is too complacent.
also
>go into a biome
>there is a pack of a specific unique not-pokemon type
>they interact with each other in different ways, up to and including battling each other
>not-trainers will occasionally try to fight the not-pokemon randomly and get their shit pushed in usually
It's like an ICBM being compared to the worm that is A*ceus.
>they interact with each other in different ways, up to and including battling each other
No wonder you gays liked PLA so much, it was made from the groundup for you casuals, full of homosexual hecking wholesome animations and not an ounce of challenge in the entire game.
>Pokemon
>Challenge
Yes, all challenge has been removed in their now 10 year long quest to pander to casuals and Pikachu lovers.
>certainly unlike the regular pokemon where you mindlessly mash a from start to finish
True, that's a huge problem, the thing is I bet if we did things like replacing the gimmick of gyms having a specific type with having a different battle style like making them focused on stalling, hazards or full offense, all you gays would cry that your team can't beat it even after overleveling, all because you caught a team of shitmons that decided were "hecking cute".
I'll be there to shit on whatever casualized crap they announce.
>red/blue
>challenge
>I'll be there to shit on whatever casualized crap they announce.
Why don't you just go outside instead.
Complaining about other games being casual in the context of a pokemon discussion is asinine. No mainline pokemon game was ever even remotely difficult. The only things that approach a challenge are battle facilities and those sort of pinpoint the problem with making a "difficult" pokemon game in the sense that it's impossible to do without making the game a bunch of uninterruptible gauntlets and/or severely restricting the player's resources. Gamefreak sure as hell isn't going to alienate their playerbase like that so it's silly to discuss. At best they'd add some difficulty settings but we've seen their attempt at that which doesn't inspire confidence
>Gamefreak sure as hell isn't going to alienate their playerbase like that so it's silly to discuss
Which is why my hope is that Palworld absorbs that homosexual part of the playerbase so Game Freak has no choice but to either start making Battle Facilities the template for the game's difficulty or let Pokemon die.
>Game Freak has no choice but to either start making Battle Facilities the template for the game's difficulty or let Pokemon die.
You poor child. As long as the merchandise engine for Pokemon still remains, the games will never die.
And those merchandise sales are driven by numale adventuregays.
Who will still buy the merch even after they stop buying the games.
Fricking red/blue weren't a challenge, they were DQV for babies and DQV is already a game for babies.
Red/Blue were barebones, I don't blame them for the jank and because it only kept improving from there, peaking with HGSS.
All they had to do was keep improving, get rid of singles, get rid of type-specific Gyms so you don't just go to a grass gym and solo everyone with a random Pokemon that has Flamethrower.
I can go play red on my Gameboy right now focus on Nidoking and solo the whole game in 3-5 hours ,pokemon was never hard you were just a fricking kid when you played it.
Pokemon was never difficult. It just seemed that way because you were a kid back then, and kids are fricking stupid
certainly unlike the regular pokemon where you mindlessly mash a from start to finish
>Legends bad!
See you on Pokemon day! :^)
I love this autistic homosexual that keeps pretending Pokemon's gameplay has any challenge or depth
it has depth, the problem is the games, since they are pandered to casual adventuregays, aren't nearly hard enough to make you learn how to team build.
It's the equivalent of having a fighting game that is so easy it doesn't requiere you learn any combos or even how to guard.
they pander to children, you are talking about a game meant for a 7 year old
Kids play phone games these days, Pokemon's problem is that the fanbase is plagued by the kind of people who think that Scarlet and Violet only needed good graphics to be good, or that PLA wasn't pure, undiluted open world slop.
The games are meant for kids, thats why we still have typed based gym leaders and AI trainers that dont know what switching it. Frick it, scrap singles in main games make doubles the default even if the AI never switches the battles will be way harder as the BB Elite 4 proved last month.
>learn how to team build
the Pokemon games are literally playable from start to finish with you never switching from your starter lmfao, in fact that's how most small children used to play it
And that's why the story mode of Pokemon games is nothing but a failed tutorial, these people then hop onto the online and have absolutely no idea of why their Pokemons are dying just by being switched on.
How to win singles?
1.Spam stat boosting move and sweep
2.Stall until opponent mindbreaks
3.Basically 4D chess your opponent into switching into checks(has a type combination that lols at all of their moves) to your pokemon and once those checks are gone they are completely fricked
The bulk of showdown battles are basically 3 because its a constant switch off until someone loses their check is done for.
This is obviously extremely boring to children, which is why we had the kiddy type based gym leaders and extremely moronic maingame trainer battle AI.
Which is why singles should be removed from the franchise and make it all doubles.
>make all battles double
>automatically balance enemy teams to always be 10 levels over you so overleveling isn't viable
>instead of making Gym leaders, Elite 4, Champions or any boss fight be based around a type or theme, make them based around a different playstyle, forcing players to learn different strategies
And also buff bug types already, stop dropping a not-Butterfree and calling it a day with each gen, it's not even funny how much they suck.
>Gamefreak deserves to be dethroned and shit upon.
Showdown already dethroned them, it didn't need any animations or even an open world at all, and it's free too.
Pure and Unadulterated SOUL
Actually Pokemon animations in S/V are VERY good. Problem is game barrely uses them in meaningfull ways.
PLA used happy animation when using nasty plot and SV goes back to old "Pokemon tilts and plays attack anim".
Do Pals evolve?
No
There are no evolutions, but some species have Boss/Advanced versions of them like Melpaca/Kingpaca
God this autist is moronic
palworld is 10 times harder than pokemon and I dont even feel like im exaggerating when I say that
No pokemon wont ever become a hardcore horror game, have you even played a pokemon game?
>palworld is 10 times harder
It's the same as PLA, it's not hard, it's just time consuming due to all the time wasters the open world is filled with.
And trust me, I know about this, I've played Kenshi for almost 10 years.
The bosses rape you in Pal World, and the devs are too busy to make bosses that are more than one AI attacking you.
Or maybe it's that you gays would get filtered even by a Call of Duty campaign.
Anon the Pals AIs dont have attacks as fast as Call of Duty shit.
>palworld is 10 times harder than pokemon
Why would I care? It's a third person shooter.
I dont know im talking about the guy who thinks pokemon shouldnt be casual and "nu-male"
>and I dont even feel like im exaggerating when I say that No pokemon wont ever become a hardcore horror game
Palworld also isn't a horror game are you fricking moronic? There isn't even gore in the game. t. im playing the game.
again im talking about that other anon
>you can pet the pals
>they each have a unique cute animation
its genuinely more soul than gamefreak has put into their products in decades
>NOOOOOOOOOOO CUTESLOP AHHHH YOU JUST WANT TO PET THE POKEMON REEEEEE
Yes, and I question the absolute state of Gamefreak that none of the devs there have wanted to pet their pokemon either. Speaks volumes, they don't even play pokemon
> that none of the devs there have wanted to pet their pokemon either.
If it was any other studio I'd say it's because the devs are men and not a bunch of millennial numales and women who are a bunch of homosexual animal lovers who love the hecking doggos, but it's GF so it's likely just incompetence and the studio IS filled with numales and women.
I wish I worked on these games, I'd give people the option to pet Pokemons, but if you try petting Bloodmoon Ursaluna or a Kyogre it just bites off your arm.
pokemon:
>takes 7 generations to get attacks life flamethrower to come out of the pokemons mouth, Blastoise to use its canons for attacks, etc...
Random game out of the gate: has effects that make sense, and has pet animations for every character, some clip badly, but the fact it has the animations at all is fun.
You can dislike palworld all you want, but its success might actually kick gamefreaks ass into gear to make a GOOD pokemon game with love and care again. and if so, that is a GOOD THING for the series.
>might actually kick gamefreaks ass into gear to make a GOOD pokemon game with love and care
I have long since given up such fanciful dreams. The things that I want will never ever happen in Pokemon
Pokemon added Amie in Gen 6 and you called it Pokemon's downfall.
No, the only thing GF will get from this is that people want for the combat to get even more casualized and to fill the games with even more open world slop, when the games NEED to trim open world shit.
>the fact it has the animations at all is fun.
This is post-2018 games in a nutshell.
The gameplay is shit but at least it has animations, RDR2 being the biggest example of this, it's fricking insufferable.
Nah, GameFreak will probably go, "People complain about no Secret Bases... This game has base building... They want base building!", throw in a shitty half baked version where you build your own base in a wilderness with half baked resource gathering, then call themselves geniuses and pat themselves on the back
>unironic basebuilding in Pokemon
>Nintendogs clone would be a good Pokemon game
So /vp/ not only are casuals, but are the type that would play the new Assassins Creed games and think they are genius.
>you can pet the pals
>they each have a unique cute animation
XY did this already with 7x the amount of characters
>acting like palshills play pokemon games
You're being bamboozled dummies. The same things they say are bad about Pokemon are the same things they like in Palworld. It doesn't matter what it is, it's bad only when Pokemon does it.
>Chigyuaaa! (angry)
Calm down, uncle.
>NOOOOOOOOO, YOU CAN'T ENJOY [thing], YOU MUST BE BITTER AND FULL OF HATE JUST LIKE (ME) AND b***h ABOUT EVERYTHING, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>oh my satan you dare be negative and toxic in mummm like 2024???? don't you get that this is not a wholesome way of behaving and that millionaire game developers might feel offended, you chud??
Wait, which side are you making fun of in this skit?
Stop playing P*lworld.
What do you like about it? I hear the gameplay is actually quite different from Pokemon.
Not pokemon
Same
So am I. This is ticking so many of my boxes, it's crazy. I can't go back to Scarlet after playing Palworld.
You think Palworld's success will light a fire under Gamefreak's ass and get them to make their games better?
Absolutely not, but it's nice to imagine it.
look all the autims trying to defend pokemon and smear palworld, they will be find
They sure will, ESL bro!
>on Steam
Imagine how much on Xbox. Pokecultists can't cope anymore. Palworld is here to stay and is fun.
It truly is a great game.
So has anyone in this thread beaten that syndicate boss yet? She totally pushed my shit in. I get that its a raid, with the 10 minute timer and everything
Just get a ground attribute pal, and watch that health bar drop.
Second try. Ground type Pal like Rushoar beats her shit in. Also make sure to switch whenever your pal's health gets to about a quarter, by the time you cycle through them all, the first one is healed to full
Weave between pillars, it slows her down
I swear all the hate has to be seethe from pokecultist who brown nose gamefreak harder than Joe Merrick and they're jealous they can't do all the stuff from palworld in pokemon.
>"Relaxsaurus-Sama, I kneel"
Just goes to show you the amount of people that would be willing to purchase a Pokemon game on PC. Oversaturation would be a thing if they kept the 3 year cycle, but it would still be massive
It also helps that Palworld is a legitimately good game.
You Pokegays wouldnt know what a good game is even if you had a gun pointed at you.
Fricking Call of Duty games have more entertainment and artistic value than the entire monster catching genre.
The fact that you ate up Early Access survival slop means you'd eat up shit like a Pokemon with a ubisoft open world.
If Palworld hits 20 million copies by 2 weeks maybe. Any less and I really doubt it.
It'll probably reach 20 million by the start of March.
The end of February if Pokemon Day was a huge disappointment.
Literally everyone has a computer so is it really that hard to believe that it would have a lot of players, considering the controversy around it giving it attention and that it has guns which Americans love, ofc it's gonna have a lot of players.
Pokemon MMO when
Never. Gamefreak is too lazy to do that.
It would have been amazing 10 years ago, but here we are.
Yeah, it's pretty fun.
which one of you is this? You gotta be kidding me with this Arceus cope. It was 60 dollars and never went all the way with the changes.
This reads exactly like how my ex gf used to post when she was angry on twitter. Just passive-aggressively trying to larp as some dude bro because she thought people on social media would take her opinions more seriously if they thought the person on the other side of the screen was a guy.
That is nice, but Palworld isn't pokemon so why are you posting here?
>people keep calling it Pokemon for adults
>designs are all the kind of shit that appeals to 5 year old girls
>the pokemons dont even look realistic, in fact they are weirdly stilized despite the world having a realistic artstyle
Why does this genre keep trying to be as childish as possible
>Why does this genre keep trying to be as childish as possible
because Poketards will call it shit if it don't look like fricking plushy.
the concept of powerful monster is lost to them
But why didnt Palworld make it that way?
Just make a game thats just Monster Hunter but where you can use the monsters.
Mate, monhun is a way smaller franchise than pokemon with a limited appeal, pokemon-style designs appeal to the lowest common denominator which means a way bigger userbase, "realistic" monsters wouldn't attract anywhere close to the same amount of people.
Because Palworld is made to attract the casual fanbase of Pokemon, the "I just love my ebin adventures with my frens so much".
Pokemon gets a rival and it has to be just as gay with the power of friendship shit.
Did your dumb ass think that pokemon's "rival" was gonna be "realistic monster tamer thing"? No, pokemon's "rival" was always gonna be other kiddy shit.
At least palworld has patches and bugfixes. Still waiting on the patch that makes SV run above 10fps.
I don't want to make a new thread, so I'll ask this here - does this game have a story? Like, a beginning, middle and end with boss fights and quests?
No, there are like random notebooks or whatever I imagine have tidbits of lore or something. But I haven't ever looked at one of them.
I am Pokemon fan since gen 1 and I love it. Especialy simple but fun battles.
I don’t give a frick if it’s ai or plagiarism. Until game freak gets their act together it’s well deserved competition.
shitfreak will never get it together. gen 10 will be as poorly optimized as SV but the switch 2 will be able to brute force its performance and pokehomosexuals will cheer and pretend shitfreak fixed their shit. also there will be rudimentary base building and pokejobs 2.0 because shitfreak are gormless trend-chasing pussies.
I think SV was supposed to be a switch 2 game. That’d partially explain all the shit performance
The problem is Palworld isn't a direct rival, it's not a JRPG, it's a survival crafting game.
Once Palworld starts driving merch, you're gonna see some competition happening.
STOP THE COUNT
>I always thought Pokemon could take a lot of things from Dragon Ball.
The battles could certainly be as dynamic as in DBZ, at least in the anime.
What they shat out was actually pretty accurate to the games in how most of the time the Pokemons would just be standing in front of each other and throw attacks instead of actually fighting.
I honestly thought /vp/ would be different being Ganker and all but holy shit, this place is even more Reddit than Reddit itself with the whole "I WANT HECKING ADVENTURES ABOUT THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP" shit.
weve got actual fricking tumblr refugees here man.
>Tumblr refugees
Just say twitter users
two similar yet distinct groups of homosexuals. precision matters.
>What is the the tumblr porn ban of 2018-2019
It's literally the same batch of fles homosexuals, just on a more terrible site with a more vocal platform.
Don't forget ableist. Tumblr was bad, but I feel the fetishes and questionable lifestyles were more contained.
Now those same schizos are wearing that shit like badges of (dis)honor.
you thinking that most people actually liked pokemon for the combat is the weirdest thing of all
I guess I deluded myself into thinking I wasn't the only non-homosexual who played Pokemon.
>a series that's incredibly popular with women, children, and manchildren
don't know how you missed it really
This, pokemon has always been more popular among kids and women. The anime being about adventure with your fellow pokemon and also giving the spotlight to their resident cutemon, Pikachu. That guy imagined some fanbase that never existed.
Pokemon is made for gays and queers.
90% of the players have female characters despite the playerbase being 70% male.
No one gives a frick about dragon ball. The frick
I hope this game becomes an example why game developers shouldn't listen to losers on twitter who complain about every damn thing, as long as the game is fun that's all that matters.
it's over, palchuds. did you really think nintendo wouldn't protect their ip?
Sure, poketroon. This is a message for you trannies to stop spamming nintendo's inboxes kek.
traduction
>fricking stop @GAMEFREAK @NINTENDO THEPOKEMONCOMPANY us you morons
This is literally them saying "frick off we don't care"
It's going to win Goty before any Pokemon game kek.
All this seething just to defend a 20-year-old rotting corpse of a battle system.
The battle system is basic jrpg gameplay, it's just you homosexuals seething they didn't pull a Yoshi P and make it into ARPG garbage.
It's pretty far on the low end at best. Most of the things it does differently from your average jarpig are cancer. It also doesn't allow for a lot of variety, which is why Game Freak has taken to stapling gimmicks to it's ass like it has been since the 3DS days.
It's my goty.
Explain the type matchups of Palworld
