Pokémon Legends: Arceus featured a new capturing system where players manually throw Poké Balls at wild Pokémon in the overworld without needing to enter battle with them. It was a stark contrast from most of the mainline series and added a fun aspect to a mechanic that became highly important due to the game's focus on filling out the Pokédex as opposed to challenging a Pokémon League or combating an Evil Team. However, Pokémon Legends: Arceus also put too much emphasis on catching Pokémon. It may be fun to seek out and capture Pokémon Legends: Arceus ' hard-to-find species , but in order to complete the Pokédex, players will need to capture literal hundreds of Pokémon of all shapes and sizes, and some even need to be caught in certain ways. It quickly becomes excessive, and it may be for the best that _Pokémon Scarlet & Violet _ appears to abandon the new mechan

Pokémon Legends: Arceus ** brought many new innovations to the Pokémon series, but it's not without its mistakes, ones that upcoming indie title Palworld ** can improve upon. Palworld is an open-world survival RPG/creature collector that's often been referred to as " Pokémon with guns," a statement that's fairly accurate from what's been revealed of it so far. A release date has not yet been given, but its developer and publisher Pocketpair promises a launch sometime in 2022, so hopefully, there's not long to w

Before players can ride their captured Eikthydeer, they need to reach level 12 and unlock the Eikthydeer Saddle. After unlocking the Eikthydeer Saddle recipe, players can craft this item on the Pal Gear Workbench. Once the saddle is crafted, players can now ride on their Eikthydeer by sending them out, pressing and holding the Mount but

Palworld has had a type of instant success that few other games can lay claim to. This makes it crucial that Pocketpair capitalize on it, which doesn't mean rushing out updates but creating appealing content in a timely manner. It is important to remember the game is in early access and reportedly has a small team, so patience and proper feedback on the player's end will be significant. However, it will still be up to _Palworld _ 's roadmap and early access plans to keep the success go

Palworld has no story to speak of, with only little journal pages scattered about the map that give bits and pieces of information. There is a chance when the game has a full release, a story could be added that gives a more linear quest line to follow, but currently, it is just exploring and having fun. This may not be a drawback for some, but those who want a compelling story will be disappointed. Despite its troubles in recent games, **Pokémon has still excelled at creating interesting stories that entertain its audience ** throughout the g

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus , the protagonist is sent back in time by the titular Legendary Pokémon Arceus, the primary deity of the Pokémon universe. They set off on a journey to capture and study every Pokémon in the region and create the first Pokédex, in a break from most of the mainline games that typically all use the same basic plot. In addition, Pokémon Legends: Arceus threw out the stat system used by most of the mainline series and revamped the battling and catching mechanics as well as introducing entirely new ones. It was a big step for Pokémon , but one that doesn't quite go far enough, and hopefully Palworld will be more of what Pokémon Legends: Arceus could have been if it had taken further innovative st

Kitsun Palworld even has the player character shooting guns, with the Pals right alongside them using firearms such as pistols, turrets, and rocket launchers. Palworld depicts a level of violence that the Pokémon series will likely never equal, which does do a lot to set it ap

Dark Element Pals have an Offensive advantage over Neutral Type Pals dealing 2x damage to them, but their damage will be halved when fighting against Dragon Type Pals. Defensively, they have no advantage over other pals, but will receive 2x damage from Dragon Type Pals.

The main plot of Pokémon Legends: Arceus revolves around the rift in the sky and the energy coming from it, which is causing the Noble Pokémon of the region to rampage uncontrollably. Players quell their fury by feeding them their favorite snacks in the form of throwable pouches and eventually manage to calm the legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia themselves. It may sound like a compelling story, but it quickly ends up becoming repetitive and dissolving into little more than a series of identical battles. The entire premise of Noble Pokémon being different is that they're guardians of each area of Hisui who watch over the region and protect its inhabitants. They had a lot of potential that Pokémon Legends: Arceus ultimately squandered by not giving them the individuality it should h

Pokémon has always had a limited multiplayer experience, only recently opening the doors to more multiplayer interactions. However, Palworld' s early access state has already surpassed Gamefreak's effort. The ability to host co-op or dedicated servers to experience the entire game together is a huge step. It allows for more competition or cooperation, appealing to players of all styles. This also opens the door for players to create more memories, having wacky experiences in a free-roaming and changing world that Pokémon currently doesn't have anything close
