People Who Only Like The Game For That One Specific Mechanic (the Player Can Do It To Humans Too Within

People who only like the game for that one specific mechanic (the player can do it to humans too within said game) are an obvious, glaring, red flag to me and it says a lot about them when their true colors show up as they shamelessly defend the game from other people criticizing the game's flaws and go as far to sling out offensive slurs to them who voice out on it from what I've seen within the replies of Twitter posts related to said game.

Man... I'ma just be real with y'all. I don't give a shit about Palworld. It's all Ive funken heard about the past week or so and I just... I just don't care! On one side of the Halo 1 ass team death match y'all are in the trenches of you have the overly zealous Pokemon fans who will needle the game to death over the slightest shortcomings and similarities. Buddy, pal, friend... GameFreak will be fine. They're gunna be ok ...

But equally bad are the ones who will take any criticism of their new personality defining game as an attack on the sanctity of their marriage or something. I'm sorry guys, the game looks painfully boring, if it didn't look like pokemon with guns you wouldn't be playing it.

But this isn't why I'm tired... If that was all I had to say about this issue I wouldn't have made a post about it on what is supposed to be a tokusatsu blog... Shit this is supposed to be a toku blog... What episode of Kingohger are we on?... We're in the 40s!?...... Man I let that one get away from me... okay!!! Not the point, not the point, we'll deal with that later. The point is! We already HAD Pokemon with guns and murder and even more obvious furry bait.

WHERE WERE YALL WHEN MY MAIN MAN AGUMON WAS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE HUH?

Look at em...

Y'all wanted a more mature Pokemon? Man we've had that since the 90s! We already have Palworld at home! We are not stopping and spending more money on edgy monsters when you barely play with the ones I got you last week! You want guns? You want your cute scrunkle squinkle toodle pops to have guns?

Do Gargomon and his funny little pants mean nothing to you?! Fucken ... This one is just a gun!

Gundramon is just 30 guns in a trench coat...

Death?... Ya want death and mature themes? Some real stakes and some real consequences for our sins and transgressions? Ya want to Nuzlocke and pop your way though a story where Fido can die if you forget to give him his ear medication?

Eat my ENTIRE ass.

Slavery? You want... Wait y'all want actually want that?... Like the whole putting y'all's dog on the assembly line to build Mitsubishi Outlanders thing has been in a LOT of the back and forth... I'm not sure what y'all are talking about.... Yeah...

Anyway yeah Digimon... Digital monsters. Digimon are the champions here. Play Palworld if you want, I haven't seen anything that indicates it's actually funding anything uncouth... And hate pal world if you want! I always advocate for more hate in the world. Hating things is fun!... Just... I don't care. I just don't care about monsuno for men. Bakugan for big boys. Telefang for taxpayers... Uh... Monster rancher for retirees....

...

...are we really in the 40s with Kingohger?...

I can understand your pain that this Digimon doesn't get that much fan art...

It hurts when you're a fan of a Digimon who has never debut in a anime or a manga for that matter.

Ayo @abridgilliance pls don't block me for interacting w/ you it would be real cool to have the full art of this guy Aldamon too but I'm not going back

AGREED

From bringing up a MMO dedicated to raising monsters, it just reminds me how some users within the Animal Jam fandom wants some sort of "V-Pet" mechanic for the avatar animals. I know that game alongside it's 3D counterpart doesn't count as a monster raising/collecting (maybe I should just call it as creature raising/collecting in this case?) If said feature was ever a thing, this would imply that the various animal avatars the player has brought is their group of animals they've befriended and raised.

Classic has a feature which a user can switch animals and have their own levels from leveling up in Adventures. Example: An elephant that's on level 3, but their arctic fox is at level one due to them being newly brought and played once in Adventures.

Though there's no turn-based battles and no stats for each animal the player can train to increase them, but certain clothing items equipped can give out more power to increase inflicted damage only on certain obstacles, they can't be used on Phantoms cause' the developers wants to make sure it isn't too violent for young players but yet throwing Boomseeds (which are like, organic bombs) to defeat them is okay strangely enough.

The only "V-Pet" like mechanic present within the series is only on Animal Jam: Play Wild! where you can take care of your animal's pets through the Pet Station or the PetSitter Pro to nurture a bunch of them. If the pets are fully nurtured and have enough energy, they can be used to sent out into Pet Expeditions to retrieve awards for you. Each pet has their own preferred location they like to visit, but some don't have any known preferred location. These are pretty much it on what you can do with them.

“Palworld is good actually because it gives Pokemon competition” you bitches couldn’t even handle Digimon. Scratch that you bitches couldn’t even handle Moshi Monsters.

If you said you haven't seen much of it at all, let me tell ya, there's an option where you can capture humans in the Pal Spheres and enslave them and there's some people who unironically love that mechanic. Whoever loves said mechanic shows what kind of person they are.

I don't understand what the big scary deal is about Palworld. Given, I don't know much about it, so I may simply not know enough to understand. But some criticisms I've heard simply confuse me.

I have seen people express upset because the pokemon-like critters have guns. But, uhm...

That's nothing new. Digimon did that twenty years ago, and nobody cared. (As a matter of fact, I think there was actually a Digimon that was literally made entirely out of guns.)

People also seem mad that the critters are basically slave labor. Which, hey, yeah, that's pretty dark, but:

1. I thought they were animals? Do we not still have oxen pulling ploughs around irl? But maybe there's an aspect of Palworld I've not seen...if so, let me know.

2. The game everyone compares this game to--Pokemon-- is literally a dogfighting game. You are pitting two animals against each other and making them beat each other up. Is THAT not slavery? Is that not abuse? How can you suspend disbelief for one game and not the other? I don't follow.

I think that people are upset that you can eat the critters in Palworld, too. If so...does no one remember this moment of Pokemon Season One?

Besides, people eat meat. Meat comes from animals. I feel like maybe being reminded that your food once was alive, that sacrifices were made for your upkeep, isn't a bad thing.

I understand criticizing the game for being unoriginal (to put it lightly) is utterly valid, but I can't fathom how it could possibly be the violent, grimdark nightmare people say it is.

That said, I haven't actually experienced the gameplay past about two hours, so perhaps there's some other horrifying aspect of the game that I'm missing. If there is, then I'd like to know. But based on my limited experience with the game, a lot of the responses I see just look like pearl-clutching.
