Wait, is Palworld actually BETTER than Pokemon?

yo buddy what's going on my fellow Gamers veteran X here and guess what to world is freaking awesome it feels so good to play a fresh entry into the monster Tamer genre of video games I don't know if you noticed but there aren't many options when it comes to monstertainment games no I'm not talking about indie games I'm talking about big money corpal giant AAA types of course you have the most popular one Pokemon but Pokemon hasn't been able to scratch that it for me lately we had Tim Tim not too long ago and it was wildly successful it's one of my favorite games I ever played so that leaves me to ask why haven't more AAA companies plunged into the monstertainment genre this genre has so much unta potential and gamers are starving for new content power world is living proof that gamers are excited for something new power world currently has to pass over 12 million units in sales that is amazing so what makes power world so successful what ideas or lessons can Pokemon and other monster Tamers learn from power world where for starters grow the [ __ ] up no I mean literally make the main protagonist either a young adult or someone older the reason I say that is because it allows the developers to push the boundaries on what's allowed in their game Power Wars emphasis on weapons crafting and survival elements can be fully explored with an adult protagonist you craft for rifle and power world and no one's going to bat and eye because hey it's an adult but replace the main character of power world with a childlike protagonist and you're going to get some problems FBI open up yeah you can't have a kid running around with a handgun and a butcher's knife while managing a corporate Monopoly filled with domesticated creatures by the way these are all things that you can and will do with imp power world but you get what I'm saying right having an adult main character can allow Dev to explore all kinds of ideas to include in their game replace it with the kid and you must limit yourself for obvious reasons take a look at Pokemon most of their games primarily features a kid-like protagonist some Pokemon games have a dark storyline but they are relatively tame when compared to other games now make no mistake this is not a bad thing you can have amazing gameplay and storytelling with these constraints many games have done it and more will continue to do so in the future I'm only saying that I'm [ __ ] tired of that [ __ ] it's been the same song and dance for over 20 years switch it up now should Pokemon start making their protagonist full grown ass adults um I'm not sure actually when I think about it I'm not mad at the idea I wonder what that would look like at the very minimum they can continue to include darker elements that can leave an impact on players keep in mind Pokemon has a corporate brand that they need to maintain and sometimes it's a double-edged sword the public largely knows what to expect from Pokemon and that includes the parents who buys the gains for their children the Pokemon company does not want to mess that up on the flip side it 100% limits what they can and can't include within their games let's face it you're not going to get a rated M Pokemon game like ever it's just not going to happen but other companies don't give a damn about all that power world not only proved that it's possible but it's also prop Prof which is the most important part when it comes to pitching these ideas to those who fund video game development I don't know why but throughout the years I've grown to appreciate video games that include Base building and crafting within the game play it allows players to force their own destiny quite literally it's a form of progression that lets Gamers see their progress in real time there's a start difference from when you first blew up a game to where you are hundreds of hours later power world is the latest game to introduce the crafting and Base building mechanics to the gaming landscape the base building and power world provides actual value Beyond just Aesthetics I recently found out that you can store items and gear within the furniture that you craft well damn that means you can make your base look cool as hell while providing some in-game functionality also there are many other items that provide value as well I don't recall seeing this in many Monster Tamers let alone Pokemon the most Base building that I've interacted with in Pokémon were the secret bases in gen 3 at the time it didn't really provide value to me and not before long I eventually forgot about the future all together honestly Pokémon should incorporate Base building into its formula this is something that will give players hours and hours of time to enjoy and when I say Base building I mean something that's legit not some half ass bait attempt at a treehouse no game freak I know you guys can do this Pokemon has existed for over 20 years now and through the use of the internet gamers are able to connect with each other across the world being able to play scarlet and violet co-op with your friends is legitimately one of the best things that's happened in Pokemon in decades no [ __ ] seriously I give credit what credit is due that is an amazing feature and I hope future Pokemon titles continue that Trend power world also lets you play co-op but it does it even better than Pokemon shocker I know if you're hosting an online game in power world you can play the game with up to four people including yourself now if you're host a dedicated server for power worldl the multiplayer limit Skyrocket is up to 32 players holy [ __ ] the multiplayer features don't stop there you can even create your own Guild which has up to 20 players now many other PC games feature higher numbers than this but keep in mind that power world is a monster Tamer that's still in Early Access so this is very impressive in my eyes for the time being Pokemon's multiplayer definitely making some progress but it's have a rather slow pace so please game freak don't slow down the pace even more having Co-op was a huge Game Changer in Pokemon so let's see if future releases can improve upon this one of my favorite things about power world is that it allows Gamers to truly interact with their creatures on a level that I've never seen before in gaming you can have them cook food Harvest crops to include lettuce and wheat and even craft tools and weapons by using an assembly line like damn that is freaking awesome the first time I saw one of my pals carry harvested berries into a storage almost made me shed a tear I didn't even have to set a command for that it happen organically this is something that not only Pokemon but many Monster Tamers are missing in general you literally eat live and breathe alongside your pals you need to actively take care of their well-being and if you do so they will return the favor 100 fold there are so many tasks that your pals can do at your base this is what TR true immersion is supposed to be in power world I feel like an actual inhabitant of the gaming environment rather than just a visitor who logs on every now and then me and my Palace must work together with each other to survive I don't get this feeling at all from Pokemon not in the slightest pretty much the only thing we do is Battle and outside of battle there are a few options for traversal and that's really it there's no other major interactions with your Pokemon at all within power world you can ride on your pals fight with them in real time and you can have them gather materials and craft gear hell you can't even watch your Pokemon sleep at night this is what happens when you have the same formula with no shakeups for over 20 freaking years I want to be clear here I absolutely love Pokemon I have no hate at all for this franchise think about it I wouldn't even be able to make this video if I didn't care about Pokemon so much it's just that I've been exposed to so many games that have evolved throughout the years and it's awesome the way the developers have modernized their Gams to keep up with the current gaming landscape is awesome I just don't feel the same way for Pokemon but I want to to me the answer is easy letting know the gaming studio develop new Pokemon games or at the bare minimum allow game free to have more help from other Studios now it's time for us to have an honest chat here I don't know if you heard this from another you YouTuber or some of your other gaming friends but the reality is that not much is going to change with the Pokemon franchise it's just not they've been doing this for over two decades and things have gotten marginally better throughout the years but hell we're still waiting for a voice acting I can't believe I just said that out loud if you truly want a fresh take on Monster Tamers you're going to have to Branch out from Pokemon don't wait on Game Freak just go play other video games I promise you're going to feel a a lot better doing so you better believe that other gaming studios are taking notes on what's Happening Here a Renaissance for creature captures is underway and before long we will see a AAA monster taming experience thankfully power wward is a breath of fresh air and myself and millions of other players are enjoying it as well also if you made it this far in the video you might as well subscribe buddy more power world and challenges are coming your way check out my Discord too all of the links for that is in the description and now now with all of that out of the way get out there and let's go play some freaking video games
