DON'T LOOK UP PAL N0. 69 IN THE PALDECK!
Free Pal…world LoL. tbh PocketPair needs to win this lawsuit!
17:20 ha ha ha ha how poorly has that aged ahhhhh yeah that was stupid of game freak/nintendo
This has aged well in 2025.
Choosing gen 3 for the intro? THE ACT MAN for president 2028!
this game is even funnier in Brasil
17:10 well that aged like milk
That Nintendo won't sue Pocketpair comment aged poorly. Also give Cassette Beasts a go for a monster catcher.
I am not surprised the game did better then the games it’s inspiring from , it’s simply just better
Nintendo always sucks…..
17:12 ewww, about that. Pokemon are petty asshats
a year later and Palworld is still keeping the competition so Nintendo had relied on lawsuits to bring it down
not to mention Pokemon's latest game in my opinion, had tried to grab some concepts of Palworld in their combat :p
I hadn’t thought about…the bridge in so long 😢
It died
17:45 strongly disagree
ash played in like what 8 pokemon tournaments?…that are i assume yearly…
yet hes still 12….
that jiggly puff beauty sleep did wonders….
playing pokemon costs ~270 euro….
70 euro for pokemon.
and 210 euro for a Nintendo switch lite…
if you want to play pokemon,zelda or mario…
at best you can get pokemon with a 10% discount.
same for zelda…
there just never on sale….
i find Nintendo just not worth it for those 3 exclusives.
perhaps they should make a nintendo platform like steam for pc.
but then people that own a pc,wont buy there console.
I like Palworld for what it is, but I was hoping it would be more like Pokemon. It feels like throwing the balls at the monsters is where the similarity ends, everything else is completely different. I don't think Gamefreak will feel threatened enough by Palworld to step up their game.
I’m here after legends ZA and now I’m convinced they were “inspired” to do real time battles
Using the bridge clip is diabolical
Hey, game freak still had one more Pokémon!
Nintendo should be embarrassed by their own lack of effort and doubly so for trying to reap the reward of another studios work.
That intro is top teir!!!
I think palworld exploded in poopularity because it's the open world pokemon game that we wanted for 20 years. That Nintendo was to snooty to acknowledge the fanbase was asking for. That their sub par hardware wouldn't be able to run, and their lack of tech skill and server knowledge means they don't and won't have the infrastructure to run.
If they kill palworld with this lawsuit, I hope the devs survive and come back with another banger game. I hope nintendos case is thrown out because retroactive patents in video games is gonna suck. I hope Nintendo takes a massive hit for their continued hubris and I wish creators hadn't all played mario party 81 or whatever number the bs remake of the same thing yet again because nintendo was that came out recently.
There is a way to avoid the wanted thing, get a flying mount and its saddle, then fly as high as possible and wait til you aren't wanted anymore
If Pokemon takes down Palworld, I will go to to every single store and destroy every Pokemon game
SMT 5 is an open world, capture game that has a switch port. So you can do that type of game on switch, they just know they don't have to with pokemon.
Palworld is more action RPG than it is monster taming or survival, yea the monster taming and survival aspects are vital and important parts of the gameplay loop but most monster tamer games are RPGs anyways, you tame monsters, level them up and they learn new moves and sometimes evolve into stronger variants, sounds like a RPG to me, and in this game you actually level up and build yourself as well which is RPG 101, this is just a hybrid monster taming survival action RPG, is just so happens that it's also an open world game as well, but open world isnt a genre, just a design choice
Act Man, you make some awesome content I love to consume,
But I really need to know….
