now you see the violence inherent in the pokesystem

Oh God you made me remember the trailer. Shit was fucking batshit insane.

How batshit one may ask? Pokemon doing forced labor at a gun factory batshit :agony:

You should watch the introducing videos for each kind of ~~Pokémon~~ pal.

The sheep one is like “aww look at the fluffy sheep!” “ now imagine if you indiscriminately struck them with cluster munitions!”

E: the video lol

This is so nuts it might just wrap back around to being good?

[-] farting_weedman@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

It definitely will not, but I’m gonna play it.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

chomsky-yes-honey

Or Transformers / GoBots.

Or Care Bears, if we're being particularly generous.

Can’t you also enslave and eat the Pokémon in this?

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

you do that in normal pokemon. you capture them, breed them, trade them like chattel and use them for pit fights. You bring Oak excess captured pokemon and he gives you back a corresponding amount of that pokemon's "candy" that you feed to your pokemon to EV train them.

[-] farting_weedman@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Regular Pokémon doesn’t show you slaughtering and processing miltank into steaks that you’re then shown eating.

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

It’s merely implied

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

It's not "enslaving", it's exchanging labor in exchange for room and board!

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Palworld features an opioid balancing mini game. Because healthcare is neither free nor universal, you have to seek out street drugs to soothe your Pals’ pain. Too much and you gotta abandon it by the side of the road and start over.

I was about to expand on this but because I found it funny af, then it just became extremely depressing the more I wrote

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Its developer is Japanese actually. What if Pokémon was Japanese? Oh wait

[-] Maaj@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I have waited for what feels like years to be the very best deranged palworld trainer. I am so excited to commit crimes against palmanity.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Nooooo, I just started playing graveyard keeper; I want this one too but it'll need just as much attention if not more.

Small mercy though: with early access I can justify ignoring it for now until it's out of EA and then worry about giving it attention.

[-] WithoutFurtherBelay@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

that could be genuinely cool though if it has proper worldbuilding. Maybe you are a member of the Pal Revolution and, despite the usual avoidance of traditional weaponry in Pal Battles, have begun using them to attack and upend the ruling classes (trainers)?

All of the Pals follow you voluntarily because you read Marx? Maybe you do quick monkey wrenching attacks on Pallyball factories?

[-] riseuppikmin@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Looking forward to pirating this and seeing how wild it is

"What if pokemon but gun?"

Hasn't every shitty top 10 video answered this already:

Next there will be a lavender town syndrome game and a computer warrior Porygon simulator.

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Okay, but I'd play those too

[-] wopazoo@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

pokemon nursery shooting
