Someone Has Already Turned Palworld Into A Pokemon Game

Fans of the monster-catching genre that have had their fill of Palworld and the latest Pokemon entries should keep an eye on the upcoming open world game Nexomon 3. The Nexomon series takes clear inspiration from the Pokemon franchise, with the first two games using a 2D art style reminiscent of old-school Pokemon titles.

A Minecraft player online has shared strange footage of a glitch that appears to periodically turn their world into a Barbie land. Short of an official Barbie crossover for Minecraft, this bug is the next best thing at the moment.

Pokemon Concierge was released on Netflix earlier this month, which was a delightful breath of fresh air for the series, and depicted a more calm and zen-like experience in the Pokemon universe. It was a smash hit for Netflix, and one that prompted fans of the series to start asking two questions. One, when are we getting more seasons, and two, when will Game Freak smell the roses and turn this concept into an actual video game?

A talented Pokemon fan imagined Eevee as a Rock-type monster, giving it an evolution of this type for the first time. The Pokemon franchise has introduced over a thousand of critters in its time, but Eevee remains much loved by fans. Introduced in Gen 1, this Normal-type is a fox-like Pokemon that became a hit thanks to its design, gaining so much popularity at the point of getting a holiday in Japan called Eevee Day.

As a lifelong fan of Pokémon, I’m used to seeing other games in the “monster tamer” genre that are clearly inspired by it, from Temtem to Ni no Kuni, but nothing made me do a double take quite like Palworld, aka Pokémon With Guns. The first trailer of what looked like a heavily armed Pokemon Trainer using a terrified little pocket monster as a bullet shield was like a meme come to life. While the ridiculous concept is good for a laugh, what’s not so much of a laughing matter is how developer Pocketpair has seemingly copied elements of more than a few Pokémon designs when making its own creatures for Palworld, called Pals.

Palworld has passed another impressive milestone, with more than two million concurrent players on Steam recorded.

The Pokemon Company warned on Thursday it plans to investigate reports that the new hit video game "Palworld" violates the intellectual copyright of its iconic franchise.

No matter what industry you work in, there is always a chance for layoffs. In many ways, it’s one of the biggest things people fear. After all, they could be happy and think they have a long-term solution to their money problems one day, and then the next day comes, and they’re told it’s their last day at work due to “corporate changes,” or “cost-saving moves” or some words of the like. One might feel that the Video Game Industry, with its various successful studios and titles, would be immune from this. But as the website Video Game Layoffs has noted, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
