The simplified element list works so much better TBH:

View attachment 5668017

Dark inherits all ghost type moves/pokemon
Neutral/Normal inherits all flying type moves/pokemon
Bug and Poison was merged with Dark too.
Psychic was merged into dark.
Rock and steel into ground.
Etc.

It's actually more simple than Pokemon's chaotic element system. It adds a lot to the game.

I feel like Bug makes more sense rolled in with Neutral and make it the “lol literally just an animal” type. I feel like there’s also room for a Light type that encompasses psychic/fairy to be the opposite of Dark.

I had no idea there was a justice system in this. Started smacking a "skilled survivor" with a bat and when he had a sliver of hp, I noticed a YOU'VE BEEN SPOTTED notification, so I hastily captured the guy and legged it towards the base, because the game spawned 4 level 24 gun-toting cops that started chasing my ass as a big WANTED: ASSAULT appeared on my HUD. I don't know whether they're on a timer and fuck off on their own after a while or did I simply manage to reach my base without making contact or taking damage from them.

There is a bizarre bug in the game involving the wanted system. You can capture the tower bosses, and they give you a lot of xp when you capture them. But they have no attacks when you capture them. Making them useless in combat, however they can be used at your base for work.

To do this, you have to first be wanted. Easiest way to do this is by attacking somebody. PIDF guards will just teleport in out of nowhere and start shooting you. Before you get gunned down use a fast travel to teleport to a boss tower, then enter it. The guards will teleport into the fight with you. It's important to NOT attack the boss, but to rather have the boss inbetween you and the guards. When the guards shoot the boss, it will get confused for a second turn away from you or just freeze. If you are lucky, you can throw a ball at it at the right moment where the capture block is disabled on the boss. When you do manage to get it into a ball, it will give you a capture rate of 0.00%. Disregard that, it's actually 100%, so use the cheap balls on them.

Good chance it won't work first time. There is a weird window that I have yet to find the timing on with the bosses. But it seems to be immediately after getting attacked by the guards is the best time to throw a ball. Otherwise the ball might just bounce off.

How long until either (A) Nintendo launches a DMCA against this thing or (B) they release their own severely watered down version of this thing? Because this is quote unquote the dream Pokemon MMO that nerds wanted for 10+ years and here it is. The Japs must be fucking pissed and giving further side-eyed glances at the ancient salarymen at the boardroom who make these decisions.

The game hit a new peak on concurrent players today. With the weekend coming, I wonder how much higher it can hit. Even if it's only another 20k, there was one Tweet somwhere saying "This is the peak, it won't go higher." I don't remember where I saw that though...

The thing that trips me out about the game is the polish of it. It runs well, is only like 16 gbs, is huge. It puts to shame a lot of indies and AAA games just on the optimization. I really cannot see this not playing well on any handheld and nintendo would be retarded to not put this on switch 2.
Then i read the article interviewing the madlad who decided to fuse all the games into one and learned that this fucking game is 60% of the way done.


60%?! The fuck is everyone doing? I could play this bitch for hundreds of hours right now ( and I am definitely trying to rein that in let me tell you) and feel like I got my 30$ worth (THIRTY DOLLARS). Then I hear there's still almost half the game to fucking develop??

bring this shit on. I'm all about this.

You saw it on saturday when everyone was saying it's not going to have any staying power before it crushed cyberpunk and baldurs gate 3.
 
So you're going by "Pocket Pair" now nerd? Haha whats up douche bag, it's Phil Spencer from Highschool. Remember me? Me and the guys used to give you a hard time in school. Sorry you were just an easy target lol. I can see not much has changed. Remember Sarah the girl you had a crush on? Yeah she's fired now. I make over 10mil a year and drive studios into the ground. I guess some things never change huh loser? Nice catching up lol. Pathetic..

Whatever you think of Bald's Gate 3, I'm glad that between this and BG3, literal autists who spend years autistically developing their games are crushing the AAA slop from the usual suspects. Boy, even Todd might feel the sting from this.

Never gonna happen. Palwurld cleared legal reviews. It wouldn't even pass the moron in a hurry test.

I think the longer they don't attempt the lawsuit the less likely there's going to be one. I wouldn't be surprised that of Microsoft is awesome having their own copyright experts and lawyers look into the matter as well.
So I'm going to be bold here but I believe that Microsoft will try to acquire pocket pair. Xbox studio Japan they wanted a hit in the Japanese market,for about 20 years. So I think once palworld is in the clear they're going to attempt to acquire the studio and lock in palworld as a permanent xbox/windows exclusive. (The game is already selling consoles in the east) And they want to do this after potential lawsuits die down, but before the game is complete and probably make it's way to PSN ( I don't think Sony allows Early Access games but don't 100% me on that). I really think that Xbox Japan is ringing Phil Spencer's phone all week on acquiring the studio .

I agree they try but I think the autists at pocket pair tell them to fuck off.
It's a lot of money to turn away and they would have to be truly based to say no.

Their product is like watching retards find lightning in a bottle after being kicked around in life. I think they make a go of it being third party and trying something on their own.

Now imagine once this thing comes to the consoles... There's going to be some harikiri shit going down at Nintendo the day that happens.

I think the sting might have come with huge wave of layoffs Microsoft did to like all of their studios, like 1000 plus employees from Xbox to Bethesda were let go. More and more of these companies releasing over priced, over hyped shit that gets demolished by a bunch of autistic japs and people who actually want to make fun games is going to force some real change. Can’t wait to see the spin and salt when that shitty Suicide Squad game comes out and can’t even get 10% of Palworlds audience.

Total Game Industry Death!

Considering the attitude of the CEO your probably right. The only reason why he would sell is to get more money to make a bigger studio some where else and try it all again.
