All the people blaming “clickbait youtubers” or “AI bots” for this game blowing up are idiots. Its actually fun, it delivers a satisfying game loop that no pokemon game ever has, and it has support for multiplayer. It’s big enough to explore a lot, has a deep tech tree to unlock, some pretty interesting base automation mechanics, and over 100 pokemon to discover and catch, and a surprisingly robust breeding system to unlock new pokemon instead of evolving. It’s just FUN, and lots of games lately lack that. Despite it being buggy and early access, its very playable. I hosted a dedicated server and my friends and I can play together and explore and adventure and find bosses, and work on our base together. Haven’t had a game that lets me do that in a long time.
@Sheeple@thorbot I personally love Palworld, it really plays nothing at all like pokemon…
But my kids keep asking ‘which pokemon is that! Is that a legendary! Where is Pikachu’ whenever they see me play, so it’s definitely a little close for comfort.

The fact that you call em pokémon instead of Pals tells a lot.
Well, it is Pokemon you’re capturing and using after all
You’re not realising the implications of refusing to give Palworld it’s own identity, are you?

Oh god
We are getting hit by “What Pikachu is that” from the younger generation now, just like we did back then by our parents ʘ‿ʘ
I don’t really give a shit
