I struggle to picture Nintendo teaming up with the game that has players farming and eating their own "pals". More to the point, people have been clamouring online for an MMO-style Pokemon game... hell, since the internet went mainstream. Nintendo not wanting to do the "heavy"[0] lifting of making a game like Palworld is, IMO, not why Nintendo hasn't launched one.
[0] Not an afternoon project, but also very much not out of Nintendo's wheelhouse.
- Hamuko 3y agoI thought that they ate Pokemons considering that there are no non-Pokemon animals in the universe? Actually, the anime even says outright that one of the Pokemon is basically extinct because it's so delicious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrd128i8YGI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrd128i8YGI
- xethos 3y agoThe distinction I'm looking to make is the subtlety. Palworld is objectively, dramatically more in-your-face about it. The first ad on Steam is one "Pal" eating another. Nintendo will accept they need to have an answer to "So are all Pokemon vegan?", but will neither advertise it, nor push people to question what all the people and pokemon eat. They have very different markets, and strive to project different images.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoAnother trailer is rather using Pals to manufacture firearms on an assembly line. Its... Definitely not a Nintendo game.
- me_me_me 3y agothere is an animation (pixalated) for slaughtering your pal. Also you can capture humans as pals. So there is that. Definitely not a nintendo take
- viraptor 3y agoI think we got an official answer to that one a while ago. https://imgur.com/ICjRaA8 https://imgur.com/ICjRaA8 (Magikarp is tasty)
