I looked up a list of "known" combos but neither one I tried worked so I'm going to start writing down mine. I'm a masochist for minmaxing when I don't need to and want to power up some Lucky pals.

Kingpaca (male) + Lucky Sweepa (female) = Melpaca - tried 6 eggs
Bishu (male) + Lucky Melpaca = Foxcicle - tried 2 eggs
Foxparks (male) + Lucky Melpaca = Maraith - tried 2 eggs

If you've tried any, can you post them below? Please include male/female because that might matter. I want a Kingpaca Cryst!

Damn I had to really read the community name while reading this title on my All page.

Each pal has a rarity value. The lower the # the more rare. The egg is always the closer # to the average of the 2 pals breeding, after rounding. So pal A being 100 and pal B being 175 (100+175)/2 is 137.5 but rounds to 138. So the egg will be pal B. If the value is equal distant from both it will be whichever comes into the dex first.
This also means you can never breed a pal with a rarer value than the rarest of the 2 breeders.

Do you have any evidence of this or are you just parroting reddit? I looked the other day and found nothing so....put up or shut up

Claims are not evidence lmao

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

Unsubstantiated claims by Pokemon fans that the designs in Palworld (a game very much inspired by Pokemon) are similar to Pokemon, therefore they were stolen. Okay. 🙄

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Most of the Pals I've seen that share similarities with Pokemon only share them because the base animal shares those features. Nintendo can't own the idea of a cute sheep in a video game.

Cute Sheep (tm)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The meshes are completely different. Here's a good example, from the article that yourself linked; the meshes don't align, the analogue parts of the body have a completely different number of vertices (Direhowl's extremities are more detailed, while Lycanroc uses a lot more vertices in the main body), the overall shape of the details is different, and even the details themselves differ (e.g. Direhowl has a well-defined nose and a tuft of fur between the ears; Lycanroc has neither).

It would be harder to distort a Lycanroc this way than making it from the scratch.

Side note: as the other user said, claims are not evidences. And Twitter is almost as bad as Reddit when it comes to this crap.

If there was any real backing to those claims pokemon would have shut this down way before it launched. They aren't the sit back and wait type. It's also not like pokemon was the first monster catcher game.

As far as I can tell, the only copied parts are the real animals that pokemon are also based on, each one that looks similar or very reminiscent to a specific pokemon, only does so due to being based on the same real animal. The changes made to the animals that make them a fantastical creation and able to be copyrighted are completely different. You can't copyright a real animal, you can only copyright the changes made to it or the specific likeness. And none of that is copied. I will admit it does seem like the goal was to meet "legally distinct" minimum criteria, but they seem to have successfully done so.

As for the claims of using AI, I can't see any evidence of that. AI isn't magic, even using it as well as it would have to be employed to get the graphics as buttoned up as they are would be a pretty similar effort to just doing them traditionally. So there would be no upside to having used AI if they did. And if the final result doesn't look anything like it would if AI was used at some point during the work, there isn't much reason to assume it was. Nor any real downside if it turns out it was, since it didn't make the final art look any different from having done it traditionally.

It really just seems like they wanted to make an actual good pokemon game, but also wanted to be legally allowed to release it. So they made sure they hit the bare minimum legally required to not infringe.

But they also bring a ton of new ideas, and alot of stuff nintendo and gamefreak would never have considered.

Oh go kick rocks

I was under the impression that this game has been worked on for a few years, ya know like before ai got decent. There was a trailer 2 years ago, if Nintendo was gonna sue they would've.

The dude who made a legit pokemon mod for palworld had been contacted by nintendo in a day. This game isnt going anyway but all the right places.

6 million copies in 4 days.... its gonna beat skyrims 7 million copies in its first week to be the second fastest game sold ever. It wont beat gta5 which sold 6 million in a day and 16 its first week. But hey second place is pretty great when you imagine its gonna top SKYRIM.

Not a high rated post + not a game you're interested in = why are you even here?
