With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it’s ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

    If you set out to create a game involving collecting, or even looking at and cataloguing, a bunch of different fantasy creatures, you’re going to have some that are at least a little similar to pokemon

    I think Cassette Beasts pulled off the Pokemon gameplay format without making anything that Nintendo could try and sue over.

        Design wise maybe, but game play wise, performance wise, mechanic wise.

        PalWorld is 100% not lazy in these categories and Pokemon is.

        My issue with people taking on PalWorld as a copy cat is it’s really a shit argument. PalWorld is a copy cat of Ark and a much better version of Ark.

        Change Pals to anything else. Turn the ball into a net and it isn’t a Pokemon copy cat.

        Competition is great. My take on this entire thing is fuck Nintendo.

      Oooh, thank you for reminding me that game exists. I still haven’t played it, and so many people have told me it’s good!

        Add one to the list. Really enjoyable, even fun to cheese, not very fond of the ending but otherwise stellar.
