5 Ways Palworld Is Better Than Pokémon (& 5 Ways It's Not)

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

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.

While Palworld has tons of islands waiting to be explored, getting there is a glaring issue, especially since the oceans are a huge obstacle for players to cross. Using conventional mounts can work, but once players reach the deeper parts of the sea areas, their Pal’s stamina will tick down, especially if players use the sprint button while in the wa

Palworld is a survival RPG with farming, base building, and crafting mechanics that have been shown off in its latest trailer, where friendly Pals help farm crops and build a rocket. Players will also apparently be able to put Pals to work in factories and mines for them, so it would appear that there's some aspect of automation and optimization to these mechanics. Palworld has the opportunity to take them much farther than Pokémon Legends: Arceus did, although the mention of " dismantling " Pals on the Steam page paints a somewhat disturbing picture of exactly how far. Regardless, the RPG mechanics appear to be one of the biggest differences between Palworld and Pokémon , and may be the area where Palworld ** can most improve on Pokémon Legends: Arceus

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

Your base level is tied to missions you can complete, which are tied to your progression in the technology tree. Completing these missions is vital to being able to deploy more Pals and construct new, separate bases across the land, so it's a good idea to make this your priority.

Although Pokémon Legends: Arceus wasn't quite the fully open-world experience that it was assumed to be in the time leading up to its release, the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet & Violet _ promises to be a completely open _Pokémon game that gives players the freedom to explore at their own pace. However, it's made no mention of many of the features that Palworld has already revealed, such as real-time battles as well as base building and farming mechanics. In addition, it looks like Palworld will do things that Pokémon won't dare to, with a much darker story and vastly different interactions with its Pals than Pokémon has with its Pocket Monsters. It might be easy to dismiss it as a rip-off, but it looks like Palworld has a lot of potential to become something m

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

Chillet is one of the early bosses players can encounter and potentially use as a riding mount; its dual typing of Dragon and Ice makes it a versatile Pal to have at any player’s party since Dragon types are particularly strong at inflicting and soaking damage. As the game opens up and more bosses become available to fight, Dragon-type Pals are easier to defeat and capture when using Chillet in battle. This is due to the Ice type that is effective against Dragon-type Pals, while Dragon-type Pals generally have good overall st

Though Palworld may not be a graphical beauty and has the advantage of being on PC, it is a better-looking Japanese-inspired game island than anything Pokémon offers. The graphical limitations of the Switch have been duly reported, but when it can give a breathtaking game like Breath Of The Wild , there is no excuse why Pokémon cannot deliver something similar. Palworld is an Unreal Engine 5 game and, as a result, is more polished and physically appealing than the last two Pokémon games that tried to expand to an open-world realistic th
