There is a huge controversy over AI and plagiarism regarding Palworld and its development of creatures and art.
CCG writes - "Overall, while it certainly has similarities to Pokémon, it's more a survival-style game that happens to have collectible monster-style features and both are pretty fun. Technically, aside from a few minor gripes with controls and performing certain actions, it's pretty solid and quite stable. Morally, it's got some mild if cartoonish violence with little else of note. Overall, I enjoy Palworld, and if you want a survival sim mixed with collectible monsters to make your pals, this is a great game with those themes."
Palworld's character customization is one of the title's main areas of criticism, and there are a few techniques Pocketpair can apply to fix it up.
When comparing Palworld's Neutral element to Pokemon's Normal types, the problems of the former make it feel lacking when compared.
Pretty easy to explain. A bunch of Pokemon diehards don't like competition for "their" game. Now they are on a smear campaign to discredit the devs
