Attention is now focused on\u00a0Palworld's\u00a0imminent release,\u00a0set to be announced this week. And while it has been a while since the\u00a0trailer, which detailed multiplayer features and character customization, we already know a fair bit about the upcoming title. You may be wondering just how similar\u00a0Palworld\u00a0is to Pok\u00e9mon and what traits the two games share, as well as any major differences, so we've highlighted some of the biggest here. Palworld and Pok\u00e9mon similarities Palworld shares many similarities to Pok\u00e9mon, the biggest of which is of course hunting around for creatures to add to your collection and catching them\u2014with new Pals being registered to your Paldeck, a clear nod towards the Pok\u00e9dex in Pok\u00e9mon, after being captured in Pal Spheres, which are very similar to Pok\u00e9balls. Other similarities include the typings of Pals in Palworld, with types like Water and Fire directly comparable to Pok\u00e9mon, and you can also breed Pals in Palworld just like you can in the Pok\u00e9mon series. Although not a staple in every Pok\u00e9mon game, Alpha Pals in Palworld are similar to the Alpha Pok\u00e9mon in Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus and Lucky Pals are rare variants in Palworld that have a lower chance of appearing, which are similar to Shiny Pok\u00e9mon. Palworld and Pok\u00e9mon differences Though there are similarities between\u00a0Palworld\u00a0and\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon, there are also some huge differences\u2014the most notable of which is the ability to use guns in fights against Pals, with some Pals even being able to wield weapons themselves when they fight alongside you. Pals also have many more uses in\u00a0Palworld\u00a0than their Pok\u00e9mon counterparts, as they can be used for building, farming, and other labor tasks. Pals can also be killed and sold on the black market, whereas your creatures in\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0only faint and cannot be parted with for illicit gains. Breeding also works differently in\u00a0Palworld\u00a0to\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon, from what we've seen so far, as this is the best way to gain stronger Pals, and you can breed different types of Pals together to create new Pals. While this feature is popular in the fan-made\u00a0Infinite Fusion Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0game, it has not been replicated in the main series.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Palworld_Screenshot_02-e1704820727409.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1087759"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1087759"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1087759\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1087909,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1087759\/revisions\/1087909"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/953606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1087759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1087759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1087759"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1087759"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1087759"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1087759"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1087759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
