Pokémon MUST Learn From Palworld!

power world a monster collecting Survival game many presume would be doomed to release in a janky and unplayable state if it even came out at all has now released to extremely positive reviews on Steam this unexpected success story has catapulted power to the Forefront of gaming in 2024 in fact it peaked at one of the largest concurrent player counts ever in the history of steam and while you will find plenty of videos explaining just how great and addicting this game can be I would like to focus on another effect power may have you see while every every body is popping champagne over at the pocket pair office game freak has surely taken notice of a fellow gaming company striking gold in the same genre that they have been dominating for decades so for this video I would like to focus on how game freak can use power as a blueprint to innovate and improve future Pokemon titles but before we jump in I do think it's important to address the elephant in the room what are you doing get the F out of here yeah leave thanks as I saying Pokemon is a 90 billion franchise and game game freaks games are certainly a big part of that and while I hope I'm wrong to think that game freak will just up and make major changes to their extremely profitable line of video games is probably a pipe dream but with ever increasing criticism from the fan base maybe just maybe game freak will feel the pressure to switch up their stagnant formula now the question is how can game freak take inspiration from power world let's start with the open world exploration if you compare the open worlds of say Pokemon Legends arus and po World they actually have a couple similarities both have visually different biomes filled with their respective creatures roaming around and both have large borderline terrifying variants of those creatures that you can take on at any time for extra challenge but for Pokemon that's really about it however in power I'm looking for chests with rare items I'm searching for a collectible that gives me increased catch chance I'm hunting down camps of thugs and cultists and defeating them to free and Slade Pals here I even stumble across a hidden M shaft that houses the black marketeer a sketchy NPC Merchant that sells illegally obtained rare Pals the the point is power gives me so many more reasons to actually explore their world other than just Monster collecting as for game freak I pose this question why even have an open world when the only thing to discover in it are new Pokémon the same Pokemon we had fun discovering in the linear games just those had a more streamlined experience I proposed that game freak borrow something from other RPGs and instead of giving us outfits to buy at Merchants we could find maybe unique gear and chests around the region perhaps this gear could be more than Visual and have stats tied to them that increase catch rate movement speeds or maybe even shiny odds regardless of what game freak decides to fill their worlds with I think it has to be more than just Pokemon and the occasional Pokeball or potion on the ground and we're not done talking about the open world just yet because it's not just about what's in these worlds it's how we traversed them as well power has me climbing up Mountain sides parachuting between the gap of a Ravine and even grappling around the world like an off-brand version of James Bond in Pokemon I just sort of walk around now I can't forget to mention Pokemon does let us ride and fly in the back of kidon and maridon the box art legendaries of scarlet and violet and of course a few huian variants help us get around the Hui region and power world has nothing on that except letting us ride and fly around on almost any pal if riding swimming and flying around on Pokemon are to remain a staple of future Pokemon games please please make all Pokemon be usable for these mechanics I mean that makes sense I'm not asking for them to let me ride into battle on the back of a Caterpie Mount well I mean any anyway the closest they ever got to that were in the let's go games and even then it was a pretty limited roster of ridable Pokémon so those are just a few of my suggestions to make game freaks open worlds feel more alive and fun to explore now let us move on to gameplay this is a bit of a tricky one power world is a little bit Pokemon and a lot of bit Arc survival evolved that is to say power world is a survival game first with a monster collecting mechanic well crafted into it and personally I don't want Pokemon to be a Survival Game I do however want them to go outside of their comfort zone and adopt some gameplay mechanics from other genres for instance I personally think it would be really cool to have a base building mechanic in an open world Pokémon game maybe that seems a bit farfetched but remember that both hen and cob based games allow players to customize secret bases so let's take that concept and make it a more prevalent feature trainers could use Pokemon to collect resources and bring it back to a spot of their choosing then with more help from their Pokemon trainers could assemble their base and use it as a place to display badges maybe some rare gear sets as I mentioned earlier and of course your boxed Pokémon all of this is exactly what you do in power just a bit more fleshed out due to its survival mechanics being the main part of the game if game freak could Implement gameplay mechanics like this it would give a considerable amount of volume to their gameplay Loop that typically only consists of catching and battling not to mention it would allow us more ways to use and interact with our Pokemon both Pals and Pokémon are filled to the brim with charm and personality but the way players are able to use creatures in power world give the pals more Spotlight to Showcase set personalities seriously I love these little guys I'd go to war with these guys hell I did go to war with these guys I'd bleed for my pals except this guy his name is Randall and he's a Randall likes to get stuck in my roof and Sh infinite amounts of wood nearly crashing my game anyway back to my point game freak adding in new mechanics not only benefits the game but the Pokemon themselves for my final point I want to talk about visuals several times I found myself stopping to take in the breathtaking scenery in Po worldl in my opinion the game looks incredible Pokemon however has faltered quite a bit in the graphics Department while I think scarlet and violet did do some things to make Pokémon look much better the Landscapes and backdrops still leave a lot to be desired it's worth mentioning that power roll does use Unreal Engine 5 so I doubt game freak can compete with power Ro from a pure graphic standpoint but let's be honest with ourselves players don't need the amount of realism that Unreal Engine 5 can deliver in their creature collecting game now this isn't to say Pokemon is off the hook game freak really needs to dial in and focus on making a better stylized version of Pokemon in my opinion Pokémon let's go Pikachu and Eevee have been the best Pokemon has looked on the switch so why not take that AR style and adapt it for a future open world game regardless of what they do Pokemon must find their visual identity on the switch and future consoles now a lot of comparisons have been made between Pokemon and power world in this video and otherwise but to clarify Pokemon does not have to be power world in fact it really can't be power world power world is a highly ambitious amalgamation of several different mainstream game genres Pokemon is a creature collecting turnbas RPG Titan that sits upon one of the most Rock Solid foundations in gaming these two games are are entirely different things and these two game companies are going in entirely different directions so what I really want game freak to learn from pocket pair is that with a lot of creative thinking and a little risk taking here and there Pokemon can be so much more than just a creature collecting game I have been a Pokemon fan for two decades now and that will probably never change but it's time for Game Freak to take that next step in evolving the franchise with all that being said I'm going to go dump another 30 hours into my new favorite monster collecting game until next time later [Music] a
