Pokémon vs Palworld

[A Gamer]

Which is better ?

[Letari]

Pokemon for combat but only the first 3 gens, lost total interest in the franchise after I couldn't bring myself to finish a gen 4 game. Now I play Cassette Beasts if I want that same type of fix but with a story I actually cared about.

Palworld's only similarity is the monster catching part and is mostly a survival/base-building game, which still needs a lot of work but if they pull it off... it'll be one of my top favorite ones. There's several superior base-building and npc management games out there that I hope Palworld will steal mechanics from because they're that good as QoL.

Come on, OP. You can't compare Pokemon and Palworld. That'd be like comparing two completely different things. Like, chocolate cake compared to... I don't know... Glass shards in your eye? Oh. Wait. I guess you can compare them. Palworld is the cake. I wouldn't wish the newest Pokemon on my worst enemy.

There are countless similarities! Pokemon: you throw a ball to catch Pokemon, Palworld: you throw a ball to catch Pals. Pokemon: you feed your Pokemon, Palworld: you feed your Pals. Pokemon: you train Pokemon, Palworld: you train Pals. Pokemon: you command Pokemon battle each other, Palworld: you command Pals to battle each other. I could go gon but you get my point!

Counter-Strike: you shoot the enemies, Palworld: you shoot the enemies.

Counter-Strike: you throw a grenade to the enemies, Palworld: you throw a grenade to the enemies.

Counter-Strike: you grind your rank, Palworld: you grind your level.

Counter-Strike: you have a helmet, Palworld: you have a helmet.

Damn, I think Palworld is similar to Counter-Strike.

Pokemon is better than Palworld

Pokémons:

Old but gold: Like yum yum berries from childhood. Simple fun, catch tiny monsters, be happy.
For everyone: Like big family dinner, all can join, no too scary stuff.
Big world: Lotsa places, lotsa tiny monsters, never bored.

Palworlds:

New stuff: Not just catch, but make tiny monsters work, fight big. Like Pokémons but with more growl.
Tough and dark: More serious, not just play, but also work. Like when you gotta do chores.
Looks pretty: Shiny, looks real, harder play.
Which better? Hmm, if like old fun, go Pokémons. If want try something hard and shiny, Palworlds maybe. Me? Me like both. Both good munch munch.

I dont see why you gotta compare them, just enjoy it

Rimworld.

[Cellulanus]

Well I can play Palworld on my PC. Meanwhile I can not play Pokemon without proprietary hardware which I do not posses.

Palworld wins by default.

In my opinion, they're too different to actually compare. It's like comparing palworld to Fallout 4 or Minecraft. They're completely different games that share an element or two. Which is more fun is going to depend entirely on what you like.

Me? I'd have to say I generally prefer Pokemon, because I enjoy turn based game play more than real time, love RPGs, and find the more casual nature of the games relaxing. Does that make Pokemon better? Only if you like turn based RPGs and don't care about base building.

I like base building, so Palworld scratches a different itch. When I get bored with that, I'll go on to something else.

[Krymzin]

Depends. Do you want a creature catching JRPG, or do you want a creature catching base-building survival game?
The only thing they have in common is creature catching. Everything else is totally different, so you can't really compare the two fairly.

[Pontiac]

You don't get hit by a car in Palworld. So it's not like Pokemon.

[Dis Lexic]

The games are to different to really compare. Its like trying to compare something like Cyberpunk to Call of Duty. Yes, they are both FPS's, but at a fundamental level, the games are completely different genras and dont share any similarities outside of the most basic surface level mechanics.

Palworld, because it brought all the morons that spam idiotic topics out of the woodwork allowing for easy blocking and improvement of my overall forum experience.
