\nIt’s not even been a week, and yet Palworld<\/a> is already getting a Pokemon mod, as if the game didn’t resemble the series enough as it is.\n<\/p>\n

\nYou know it, I know it, we all know it, Palworld looks a lot like Pokemon in places, from the designs that have courted some plagiarism accusations, to the very act of having to throw balls at them to capture them. That’s mostly where the similarities end, given that it’s more of a survival game, but content creator and modder ToastedShoes<\/a> is seeing to it that Palworld becomes even more like Pokemon. The YouTuber teased an upcoming video of his showing off the mod in question, which you can take a look at for yourself below.\n<\/p>\n

\nVery quickly you’ll see the one and only Ash Ketchum in place of your player character, with his classic red and white cap, and his not so classic bow and arrow he uses to fight with. It looks like a massive undertaking of a mod, as not only is Ash there instead of your own character, but all of the Pals have been replaced with Pokemon like Pikachu, Torterra, Sawsbuck and more. Plus, certain characters have been turned into Ash’s companions like Brock and Misty, and the first boss fight is one of his age old nemesis’ Jessie from Team Rocket. It’s a pretty comprehensive looking mod, and is pretty impressive considering the game came out last Friday.\n<\/p>\n
