As a note, apparently Motivational Leader increases player CRAFTING speed, not movement speed. This is a translation error that only appears in the English version (or rather, it simply isn't clarified, it only says "speed").

Just throw one pal of your team into the workbench that has handcraft skill and problem solved.

Fun fact. The humans only have the handcraft skill. They make for great builders.

As I've previously said this game engages with you as much as you want to engage with it. Combat is only boring if you choose to make it boring. Sure you can run up to pals with a machine gun and kill them over and over, but you can also choose to rain flaming death from above on your Pal. Speed gliding head on into a creature while unloading a pistol into them is really fun and something else you can do.
Odds are this guy played single player locally instead of running his own server. You can make the world feel really full if you up the pal spawn rate using a server. My server hardware is 10 years old and can only go up to x3 spawn but the difference is daunting.

And if they tie Pokemon to those mechanics or modes the players hate those mons even more.

What features were that? While contests and the like were always seen as “eh”, I would say that’s more because GF wouldn’t make them as interesting as the anime portrayed them. Pokéathlons were always well regarded in my experience though, because they were fleshed out well.

To be fair, that’s only because those are the only Pokemon players care about. Having 1000+ is an issue.

Didn’t most of the Starters, including Greninja (which is one of the fan-favorites, for some reason) get whacked by Dexit too though?

And honestly they should Dexit in the way Ruby/Saphire and Black/White did every couple of years.

I agree to soft “Dexits” like this, what really pissed me off about Dexit itself was I knew how trivial it was to re-insert the models and data between games, and removing half of the mons and moves was NOT a good idea in a monster taming franchise where spotlight is already unfairly used.

With how sutistic complex breading in Pokemon was..,I’m surprised Pokemon hasn’t yet done, ‘completely new mon was made as a result’

Like, they’ve known about HSOWA for like 20 years abd yet I can’t bread a giant pink cat whale? Come on.

Honestly Pokémon breeding is rather simple. Is your Pokémon a female/breeding with Ditto? There’s your Species decided. What IVs do they have? Pick 2-3 then randomize the rest. The most autistic thing is egg moves, which is rarely needed in competitive Pokémon. I far prefer the Autism in PalWorld’s breeding, and it’s almost as autistic as Digimon Dusk/Dawn‘s Jogress Lines.

And yeah, we should have at LEAST had Pokémon with inherited palettes.

Well fuck me. Beakon is twice as fast as Nitewing.

Funnily enough it‘s only a 150 point change between the base speed of the two, with sprint almost doubling it. You can see all of the stats of flying mounts here.

I legitimately am impressed that this game got everyone talking about their pals like how people used to talk about pokegays during the golden age of GSC/RSE. And it's always the little things, like idle animations, buggy AI or just pals doing stupid shit. It's a level of interaction that's sorely missing in mainline pokemon games.

(SV, to a certain extent tried to get you to interact more with the box legendary pokemon being your bike, and the picnic interactions. They wildly succeeded in making the two sandwich dogs extremely relatable, but failed at making the rest of the mons stand out. Really makes you think. I think Palworld is onto something here.)

I like this guy, he's a cool dude.

Katress hits like a truck. I like to throw her into camps and just watch her kill everything in sight.
love me cat grenade

Love me plant dinosaur

Love me ball of fluff

love me dog

love me healer, simple as.

@greasyArchivist: the beauty stuff, but you know they’ve tend to add a new thing each game and tie something behind it.

And yes Greninja got caught in the crossfire. I’d almost say people were silly for thinking they wouldn’t be back. But point was 99.9%-100% of the mons they give you access to are the ones people care about. Usually the ‘right’ way to play directly translates to ‘the way people are already playing’ with very few misses.

Honestly they should never have said Dexit moving foward they should have just locked the games so until all the DLC was out you were restricted. Like an update to make things accessable after a certain point would not be hard. GF gets their unique region players get all the mons back after the game is done.

As for breading, yeah ditto and further aditions later optimised it. And that’s kind of my point. Now that breading is figured out why not at least add something like Pallete inheritance to bring some fun and complexity back to the system.

 

[smugrandomdouche]

Trying to craft the perfect pal using the breeding function should be interesting. My wife has a flying mount with the right stats.
If I heard this correctly the autists at pocket pair may have added ev/iv values so they clearly knew what they were going for. The update improves things. The game is VERY ADD.
I had intended to catch many vixy and throw them into the condenser so I can get mega balls farmed (idgaf about sphere naming) but then I rode a wolf and circle strafed a mammoth, wittling it down with gunfire and wolf attacks till I could get it into a ball. The combat along with dodge mechanics is a tighter than I expected. Having dodged attacks that completely whiff past me.

Best pals?
I have a lucky JoltHog. I named my wolf Midnight so clearly I actually like them as a mount. Tocotoco is a great little grenade launcher for interrupting boss attacks. Bushi is just dope....and that goddamn Teafant is so goddamn adorable.

I started playing the game a week or so ago, and I haven’t put it down. It’s surprisingly addicting and very fun; I’ve already grinded my way up to level 50 and maxed out my base up to level 20, now I’m focusing on trying to catch all the legendaries, fight the other tower bosses and finish the Paldeck.

I think this game has really opened my eyes, as a long-time Pokemon fan. It’s everything I’ve wanted and more, I feel like most of the designs are just straight up better than the original designs they copy from. I was optimistic about Scarlet and Violet when they released, coming off of a high from how good Legends was in the gameplay department, but considering how much of a piece of shit those games were performance wise and how they STILL haven’t fixed the issues they promised they would. I’ve just reached a point where I think I’ve outgrown the series and I’m tired of giving it chances. I’ve had an on-off or love-hate relationship with Pokémon over the years. I’m just tired at this point, Palworld gives me everything I want and guess what? It’s only 30$, I’d rather support a based dev who is actually putting forth the effort to support the game and keep adding to it than a lazy dev who doesn’t want to try and innovate the games that have been stagnant since Gen 5, the last good generation in my opinion.

Having Palworld be as popular as it is, competition is good. All the sperging from the community and the people who want to die on the hill of defending a lazy rehash of the same game with little changes is also another thing that has pushed me away from it. Pokefags really are something else, all this shit trying to slander it like animal abuse, AI, and other dumb shit. People pulling at straws just to shit on it.

Fuck Pokémon, and fuck those people in particular. I’m glad to see Gamefreak finally have competition and glad to see all the people seething trying to slander the game because it’s popular, and doesn’t follow the normal triple A game trends or, whatever other dumb shit.

It reminds me more of Dragon Quest Monsters honestly. As helpfully summarised here (annoyingly it's end result at the top with the preceding monsters from there).

I understand the appeal of EV grinding and could be argued to be currently doing the same as I breed the hell out of Anubis' to get ones with both Lucky and Artisan while filling up the boxes with Condensing fodder. But a breeding system that yields different results than just one of the parents is always more fun.

Plus it does allow a different playstyle where you just sit close to the start point, with occasional trips to the Small Settlement to buy milk and honey, and breed your way up through the Pal Dex.

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

Wow, okay, this is something that in retrospect makes sense, but was still unexpected. I set my timescale to 50% because honestly day/night cycles felt way too short, but as a result all the respawn timers are also twice as long, so I gotta wait 2 hours between each defeat. Not sure if it's worth it in the end. Not sure if it's slowing down production, either...
I also fear that the timers reset when you leave the game. Hopefully not. I'll check a bit later, because if I launch the game again I won't be able to put it down.

 

[Nick Gars]

wait a minute...

Lmao this retard admitted he's too braindead to condense and use souls.

I'd say he also admitted he hasn't played more than a few hours while going on this retarded screed. Pals outpace the player on damage output pretty quick, to the point that I can't have my pals out if I'm actively trying to catch things because they will kill the target faster than I can throw a sphere at it.

The joy I felt once I unlocked the Beakon harness and rode it was immeasurable. Its stamina sucks, but it makes up for that by feeling like a proper flying mount. Fuck that fat retard Nitewing, my obese black ass can run faster than that fucker can fly.

The game is really buggy and lacking in a lot of things??? Please, release YOUR alphas. Let's see how they stack up.

You don't even need the alphas. A couple hours in the public build of Dead by Daylight will have you wondering how the fuck the game even manages to hold together with its insane spaghetti code, with each patch somehow causing absurd issues with seemingly totally unrelated features. They had one killer killswitched and unusable for over a month due to exploits and I think only just now fixed him.

I have a giant Cattiva I caught early on and now he gorges on his smaller brethren to increase his power. He might not be optimal, but he still scratches the shit out of bosses and is most importantly my friend. He's the brutal enforcer of my regime too.

I caught a giga nigga Cattiva too. He would be intimating, standing about a head above my character, if he wasn't the chillest dude on my base. He helps manufacture my many weapons of war.

That’s probably why GF did only the female initially honestly. In Gen 2 Ditto could be found beside the Day Care. Essentially giving you every breading partner you ever needed. Probably locked it into one species so you could not start with your starter and a Ditto and get all the Dex. Not that you’d have been able to do that. Children are restricted from breading with parents if too many stats match. But still you can just catch a ditto with different stats.

Which is probably why getting and hatching eggs was a pain. It originally was clearly not something you did forever. And they designed it to be a pain if you tried. Literal hell. ‘It’s brimming with energy’ is hell.

And really at the time the competition is Digimon that still to this day gets hit with ‘breading is way too confusing’

Honestly the way Pokemon did it was probably to simplify the game for people. And they just never had the need to add complexity back.

Which is nothing if not amusing. The people saying ‘oh breading pals is so cool’ would have probably not liked it in 1999 and the audiance that is ok with it now likely is not big enough to warrent change.

But maybe with the sales of Pal World they might decide their audiance could handle it

 

[canalCrab]

Cawgnito is my favorite, little plague doctor/Spy guy.

I really wish there were some crab pals.

Anyone who's nabbed a Lucky Pal (the giant sized glowing ones) it's got a chance to pass on that trait through breeding. Given it's a boost to combat and work stuff getting to the point where the majority of Pals have it is not a bad thing but might need a horrifying amount of Cake.

I stopped doing breeding because my pals would just refuse to breed. With the new changes, my eugenics program can go forward once again

The issue with berries is that they're shit at satiating hunger. I've switched to pancakes full time since more gluttonous Pals would just spend more time going to and from grabbing food.

I use mostly pizza and carbonara now.

I knew the game is relatively easy to speedrun but i wasn't expecting it to feel so.... natural?

Yeah, the game is only really slow if you don't know what you are doing (And past level 40, but at that point, levels really don't matter much anymore.)

"This game doesn't let you emotionally connect with your indentured workforce!"

Fuck that, I feel bad if I don't get my pals the best damn accomodation that I can.

Lmao this retard admitted he's too braindead to condense and use souls.

Or even just level the pals.

...only an autist needs specific mechanics to become emotionally attached to their partners.

Hey, I am autistic as fuck, and I still form a connection with them.

But a breeding system that yields different results than just one of the parents is always more fun.

Sadly you can only ever get a pal between the parents. So to get all pals with just 2 starting ones you'd need chikipi and the legendary dragon, I think

 

[Noebel]

Anybody knows if pals has Same Type Atk Bonus or something like that as pokemons do?
