A lightning bolt is more deadly than a missle, so if a pokemon can get struck by multiple lightning and only faint, Why would they die to a couple of gunshots?

@@wumpusratMy first base was built with a nice choke point. Only 2 ways into my base on foot. And if enemies attack at night, they must go right past my Pal's beds. It's a slaughter every time.
I've only watched two of my favorite chaotic youtubers play it, but clearly, the ability to catch humans inside the 'pal-balls" makes it superior to its rival.
This prouves that palworld is not a pokemon rip off , palworld is an open world where u don't even start with a starter or other people telling u how to play. U just get in, and discover how things work on ur own. Literally stranded. And eventually find a sphere thing and start taming these creatures so they can help u survive
The only similarity between the 2 games is catching monsters. One game is turn based combat and the other is survival building. Towers are just boss battles that exist in most games. It would be pretty impossible to make a bunch of catchable monsters without having them look similar to any pokemon after game freak has pretty much drawn from every animal and mythological creature.
@@TorskelYeah, Pokemon has not only gotten stale but even the formula has somehow become worse. The games just keep getting easier too. In terms of difficulty, I always point to Platinum as being perfect. I say that it's Nintendo's fault this is happening for not trying to do anything like this before in all the years Nintendo has existed.
@Zinyak12345 they really don't need to try with pokemon though do they? The games always sell well. They are making a ton of money with the bare minimum effort and that will continue as long as people buy. Everyone complained CoD never changes and look how much it makes. Fortnite just needs to change up a little bit but it stays relatively the same aside from some big updates and that's still going strong all.these years. These are games that don't need the competitive scene to keep the games going.
I love so many favorite skits by you guys; idk which one to pick now 😂 Alan was such a mood; spot on! And I love that you guys had Rowan sing the sound effects 😂
Which Palworld is not, if that's what you're hinting at, yes Palworld is an amazing game, but so is Pokemon and how much it has evolved over the years and the greatness of Pokemon SV (Yes, it is very good) despite like %5 of the game having frame issues or glitches (And yes again, it's barely part of the game and only noticeable if you purposely search it out just to trash on the game), Pokemon also has other side games like Pokemon Legends, Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Stadium (here's to hoping for a remake or a part 3 on the newer Switch whenever it comes out, because Pokemon Stadium 3 would be super huge and exciting) and other side games, Pokemon has super amazing children animation (what I mean by that, go to their Japanese Pokemon kids tv channel, and you'll see pokemon brought to life is so many ways and the creativity and animation of them that i wish they showed more on the main channel and in western countries) in general sense, Pokemon has been very good, very friendly, very innovated, evolving on their mechanics, doing things right and keeping the formula and true to it;s value, it's story telling is very good, and with SV being a thing, will only look promising for the next generation and it being open world, and whenever they do the next Pokemon Legends will be so exciting and fun! With all this in mind, is why Palworld has LOTS and I mean LOTS to catch up on before it ever reaches anywhere near the level of Pokemon, but it's okay, Palworld is promising too, and it's reputation is like how Genshin Impact was at first, but if Palworld is like Genshin Impact (and I mean by the updates and ever expanding items, weapons, gameplay, characters ect.) then Palworld would do so amazing and for years to come
Palworld does literally nothing better than the Pokémon games, because it doesn't try to. It's a survival game that is also a dystopian parody of real world capitalism. It's also the typical trendy streamer game that will be forgotten/hated in 6 months because it's still in early access and doesn't seem to become better with time. In fact, it's already slowing down pretty hard for Palworld... Most people had their 20 hours of fun, they are moving on to the next trendy survival game now (Enshrouded).
Yeah lol. You have to build your own capture ball thing, then go beat up the Pal with your bare hands. I just wish the starting pals were a bit more aggressive. Would have been hilarious if players had been dying before they ever captured anything. Although I am curious how many players that never played something like Ark or Conan ended up freezing during the first night they played Palworld.
@@MemoiriaGodElcrin nothing can still beat the simplicity of having the game just hand it over to you, on a bow tie even sometimes. Atleast on pal world, the RNG gods can still screw you and have you "accidentally" agro a Lucky pal early game. XD That would be some interesting experience.

And air combat, and rescue missions, the local entities actively hunting each other, no evolution system, a star merger system instead (puts all those additional copies to use), rocket-propelled suicide penguins, and more bullets flying than red dead redemption.
I enjoyed the skit think its just supposed to be a generalzation not representive of real gameplay of Palworld I have been playing for a little bit now and they do use some insperation it seems but its like way above in terms of quality then what Nintendo has put out in their games I personally think Nintendo should try to pursue a partnership of somekind with creators of Palworld to create some incredible content for us all to enjoy and maybe less making a ever increasing amount of pokemon .
It made sense, and gave them a purpose other than looking cute and cuddly, its just too bad its more or less Pay To Win, as most of the pets in the shops are the best ones, or you had to do something super special in an event that only lasted a few days 8 years ago. I remember actually sort of enjoying it in Warlords Of Dreanor.
As someone who never played Pokémon (and never plans to) it was kinda cool in WoW, was new to me. It was one of many things to get side tracked with in WoW.
@alexandergray2675 didn't Nintendo sue someone for ROMs, which is completely okay, and this dude has to pay the rest of his life some percentage of his income?
Yeah, honestly this skit felt like a missed opportunity. There's so much more they could have done with how messed up Palworld is. Calling it a ripoff is just lazy and ironic because so many people have already called it a ripoff.

Playing palworld and it's actually really good! It's the game you wish Nintendo would make. It does rip off a few games but you're a survivalist and you don't start with any monsters. You got to craft a stick and then go beat the crap out of one with your own two hands to capture your first one lol. Seriously it is much better than you would expect.
@@Jagarus Yeah Palworld definitely satirized concepts from Pokemon like the balls, creature art style, but the game itself does not play anything like anything that Pokemon has put out. It's been insane how Pokemon has failed, having SOOOO long to do it, to put out a decent modern RPG of any kind. I don't feel bad for them at all missing out here.
Rowan has competition for triple threat of vldl when Alan is over singing, jumping over that fence and tricking us into thinking he's just a 10 year old! I was truly bamboozled
Never played Pokemon or Digimon but I love Palworld, very addictive and loaded with content especially for an alpha release. Can't wait to see upcoming updates.
whats crazy for me is i have a solo world and a friend world and its hard to pick which one to play on. even when friends are not on i still want to keep going. man its a drug.
In the original game boy games they have the names "red" and "blue" as the default names you can choose from. So it's funny to me it's also still a color.
Will they actually play it to do the research though? The skit kind of makes it look like they don't really know much about the game or how it plays. Like, you could replace Palworld with Temtem in the title.

I caught them all, even the level 40 blackmarket merchant, that game is so funny 😁@@FreyjaRKim

Nonono, Rowan coming up with an epic speech about how Pokemon is better and then getting flustered when he tries to tell Alan
i love how they have their own logo on the pok- i mean sky-... balls (and the cards)
Wanted to say, they have their own balls?
Viva la dirt balls*
The way Grey said “Let’s battle” 😂

@@fortyseven05
Did you even Watch the video..?
Alan and Rowan look like they had so much fun with this, while Ben and Brit looked so done with it
10/10 acting
Its like the palworld. Some people enjoy it for what it is a great survival game while others are too busy acting high and mighty to play a fun game.
I don't think they were acting, they just showed up to set and Rowan and Alan ambushed them out of nowhere and Adam saved them all with an even more original idea.
@@Jebu911I heavily enjoy it, it's very impressive what they were able to pull off with such a meager budget.
@@Plsrateeight I mean its still 7 million dollars. Not exactly a shoe string budget but true they did get quite a lot done with it.
Lol the perfect representation of the internet reacting to Palworld right there. 😆

I just finished relocating my base to a big flat area, so I could build a walled fortress.
That was my first base everytime :D :D@@Rprot_traveler
@@wumpusratMy first base was built with a nice choke point. Only 2 ways into my base on foot. And if enemies attack at night, they must go right past my Pal's beds. It's a slaughter every time.

thought the same... ^^
They definitely broke character a few times. Haha
Rowan definitely had to hold back pretty hard the whole time, lol.
I've only watched two of my favorite chaotic youtubers play it, but clearly, the ability to catch humans inside the 'pal-balls" makes it superior to its rival.
💯
One day I'll find Ciri. Just after one more hand...
surely you mean your estranged step-daughter Skwiri?
This prouves that palworld is not a pokemon rip off , palworld is an open world where u don't even start with a starter or other people telling u how to play. U just get in, and discover how things work on ur own. Literally stranded. And eventually find a sphere thing and start taming these creatures so they can help u survive
Ben's quiet, "Outrageous," was so satisfying.
my favorite part of this is the people running around in the background, perfectly simulating the awkward and halting movements of mmo characters
The bloopers on this must have been crazy laughing all the time!
The bloopers of this sketch must be awesome 😂
Pokemon: "youre just a cheap fkn knockoff"
Palworld: "oh no no no, i am the upgrade"
And its the truth, palworld is soooooo much better
The only similarity between the 2 games is catching monsters. One game is turn based combat and the other is survival building. Towers are just boss battles that exist in most games. It would be pretty impossible to make a bunch of catchable monsters without having them look similar to any pokemon after game freak has pretty much drawn from every animal and mythological creature.
@@TorskelYeah, Pokemon has not only gotten stale but even the formula has somehow become worse. The games just keep getting easier too. In terms of difficulty, I always point to Platinum as being perfect.
I say that it's Nintendo's fault this is happening for not trying to do anything like this before in all the years Nintendo has existed.
@@MrQuigs1920 its more like monster hunter + immersive survival craft /open world. We cant blame them, it's like what i felt i saw digimon lol
@Zinyak12345 they really don't need to try with pokemon though do they? The games always sell well. They are making a ton of money with the bare minimum effort and that will continue as long as people buy. Everyone complained CoD never changes and look how much it makes. Fortnite just needs to change up a little bit but it stays relatively the same aside from some big updates and that's still going strong all.these years. These are games that don't need the competitive scene to keep the games going.
I love the Viva logo on the ball
I want one.
Waiting for the DLC "The Legends of Nelda" with the protagonist "URL"

Oh, I like "The Legends of Nelda: Expiration of the Savage"

Can't wait for the release of the legally distinct game: Schmargonrog's Gate 3
That last gag with cards killed it 😂
they were playing with fire as soon as they started singing
No that started with Rowan stopping Ben and Britt from saying “Poke-“
I love so many favorite skits by you guys; idk which one to pick now 😂 Alan was such a mood; spot on! And I love that you guys had Rowan sing the sound effects 😂
"I wanna be.. pretty good... like other people are." That one hit way too close to home.. 😅
Really impressed by the kid actor you got for the grandchild
Great actor for his age
"You can even catch wild SkyCraftmon with these Skballs" - Holds a Pokeball upside-down
Tell me you haven't played Palworld without telling me you haven't played Palworld.
I'm gonna need a full version of the SkyCraftMon theme IMMEDIATELY!
On loop.
Alan singing the Skycraftmon theme had me in tears.
a legend says "if you do better than the original, you are the original"
Which Palworld is not, if that's what you're hinting at, yes Palworld is an amazing game, but so is Pokemon and how much it has evolved over the years and the greatness of Pokemon SV (Yes, it is very good) despite like %5 of the game having frame issues or glitches (And yes again, it's barely part of the game and only noticeable if you purposely search it out just to trash on the game), Pokemon also has other side games like Pokemon Legends, Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Stadium (here's to hoping for a remake or a part 3 on the newer Switch whenever it comes out, because Pokemon Stadium 3 would be super huge and exciting) and other side games, Pokemon has super amazing children animation (what I mean by that, go to their Japanese Pokemon kids tv channel, and you'll see pokemon brought to life is so many ways and the creativity and animation of them that i wish they showed more on the main channel and in western countries) in general sense, Pokemon has been very good, very friendly, very innovated, evolving on their mechanics, doing things right and keeping the formula and true to it;s value, it's story telling is very good, and with SV being a thing, will only look promising for the next generation and it being open world, and whenever they do the next Pokemon Legends will be so exciting and fun!
With all this in mind, is why Palworld has LOTS and I mean LOTS to catch up on before it ever reaches anywhere near the level of Pokemon, but it's okay, Palworld is promising too, and it's reputation is like how Genshin Impact was at first, but if Palworld is like Genshin Impact (and I mean by the updates and ever expanding items, weapons, gameplay, characters ect.) then Palworld would do so amazing and for years to come
💯
Oreo be like...
@@michael_pilotI think Oreo taste isnt better than Original though, but their marketing are
Palworld does literally nothing better than the Pokémon games, because it doesn't try to. It's a survival game that is also a dystopian parody of real world capitalism.
It's also the typical trendy streamer game that will be forgotten/hated in 6 months because it's still in early access and doesn't seem to become better with time. In fact, it's already slowing down pretty hard for Palworld... Most people had their 20 hours of fun, they are moving on to the next trendy survival game now (Enshrouded).
So now Alan's singing will haunt my brain for the next 10 days
If only getting your first Pal was that simple
Yeah lol. You have to build your own capture ball thing, then go beat up the Pal with your bare hands. I just wish the starting pals were a bit more aggressive. Would have been hilarious if players had been dying before they ever captured anything. Although I am curious how many players that never played something like Ark or Conan ended up freezing during the first night they played Palworld.
i beat half to death with club than throw shiny orb is pretty simple
@@MemoiriaGodElcrin nothing can still beat the simplicity of having the game just hand it over to you, on a bow tie even sometimes. Atleast on pal world, the RNG gods can still screw you and have you "accidentally" agro a Lucky pal early game. XD
That would be some interesting experience.
@@bryanmerel i haven't done any breeding so i haven't experienced that side of rng hell. though i did go through a lot of dungeons searching for thermal underwear so i could wear my uncommon heat resistant metal armor at night
@@bryanmerel also what is the issue with being aggro'd by a lucky pal? outside of early game i mean
I don't remember the guns in pokemon though. Like pretty sure chimchar never had an AK47
Exactly, it's not Pokemon because it's Pokemon with guns!
Really went over your head huh? I guess Remnant 2 isn't a souls-like because it has guns and Dark Souls didn't?
And air combat, and rescue missions, the local entities actively hunting each other, no evolution system, a star merger system instead (puts all those additional copies to use), rocket-propelled suicide penguins, and more bullets flying than red dead redemption.
Show me somewhere where ash catches a pokemon by putting bullets in it for 15 minutes, dodge-rolling around to evade attacks.
@@deimosvoralius2988 So Pokemon with war crimes.
I enjoyed the skit think its just supposed to be a generalzation not representive of real gameplay of Palworld I have been playing for a little bit now and they do use some insperation it seems but its like way above in terms of quality then what Nintendo has put out in their games I personally think Nintendo should try to pursue a partnership of somekind with creators of Palworld to create some incredible content for us all to enjoy and maybe less making a ever increasing amount of pokemon .
I still remember when blizz added pet battles to WoW and everyone thought it was a joke
It made sense, and gave them a purpose other than looking cute and cuddly, its just too bad its more or less Pay To Win, as most of the pets in the shops are the best ones, or you had to do something super special in an event that only lasted a few days 8 years ago.
I remember actually sort of enjoying it in Warlords Of Dreanor.
As someone who never played Pokémon (and never plans to) it was kinda cool in WoW, was new to me. It was one of many things to get side tracked with in WoW.
lol you mean its not anymore?
no@@Novadude no
its still in game@@Novadude
I feel like Rowen knew if he allowed them to finish their statements, those two would’ve summoned a far scarier creature…Nintendo lawyers
An eldritch entity that could haunt you the rest of your life
If you think Nintendo lawyers are scary... try Disney lawyers.
I don't know if anyone would get this, but this comment would have been Gintama-tier of fourth wall breaking if it was in the video lol
@alexandergray2675 didn't Nintendo sue someone for ROMs, which is completely okay, and this dude has to pay the rest of his life some percentage of his income?
YES Bro I was thinking if you would ever do a skit of palworld because catching humans will be a fking hilarious skit with your humour
I was expecting Professor Pine to throw the Skyball at one of the players after the song. :D
let's game it out caught the shit out of humans
Yeah, honestly this skit felt like a missed opportunity. There's so much more they could have done with how messed up Palworld is. Calling it a ripoff is just lazy and ironic because so many people have already called it a ripoff.
@@Anothernerdyloser314 I also think Palworld is more like ARK than it is to pokemon
But will the Rowan do anything other then just try to keep the others doing work?
You missed the part where Pine whips out the guns, and all of a sudden they're SUPER interested and love it. 🤣
Maybe with the starting tri handling assult rifle, gatlin guns and rocket launchers😄
"I wanna be pretty good" and "I will travel pretty far" are now my new mottos. 😆
"I will search, from here to there" 😆😆
If Palworld actually started like that it would beem hilarious 😂
Right it started more like Ark Survival evolved waking up on the beach in scraps of clothing.
@@exemida And hearing from an NPC that Pals have eaten hundreds of her companions... which is weird because I could capture them with some sticks and stones I picked off the floor.
@@Draugo Thats called main character syndrome.
@@exemidaalmost every survival game starts this way. Sometimes it's a forest 😂
@@vilxxblack2472 I've heard about this condition. Some of them even got afflicted with plot armor virus and the type two chosen one cancer. It's really sad honestly.
What if they made a card game based on the tame-able pets?!
The Pharaoh wants a word with you.
Look up Pokemon Crystal League.
Digimon Card game would like to have word with you.
Skwentmon TCG
Even Magic did it at some point.
Palworld is to Pokemon as PUBG is to Minecraft.
Putting the lyrics to the song in the description would’ve been a masterstroke.
Technically, this is more like Pokemon than Palworld is. 😅
I think thats the joke? That Palworld is actually not like Pokemon? Not sure
@@SonnyEverywhereI don't think anyone on the team played palworld or knew anything about it before writing this to capitalize on the craze. Skit is really not related in any way to it
Playing palworld and it's actually really good! It's the game you wish Nintendo would make. It does rip off a few games but you're a survivalist and you don't start with any monsters. You got to craft a stick and then go beat the crap out of one with your own two hands to capture your first one lol. Seriously it is much better than you would expect.
WoW did a better rip off of Pokémon than Palworld has done.
@@Jagarus Yeah Palworld definitely satirized concepts from Pokemon like the balls, creature art style, but the game itself does not play anything like anything that Pokemon has put out.
It's been insane how Pokemon has failed, having SOOOO long to do it, to put out a decent modern RPG of any kind. I don't feel bad for them at all missing out here.
I think you really improved the lyrics
"I wanna be pretty good, like other people are"
Relatable!
At 2:05 I was really expecting a classic Ben *_OUTRAGEOUS!!_* I feel let down
Rowan has competition for triple threat of vldl when Alan is over singing, jumping over that fence and tricking us into thinking he's just a 10 year old! I was truly bamboozled
Never played Pokemon or Digimon but I love Palworld, very addictive and loaded with content especially for an alpha release. Can't wait to see upcoming updates.
I never got into Pokemon or Digimon, after my time, when they were becoming a thing i started becoming a teen. So it was kind of after my time.
whats crazy for me is i have a solo world and a friend world and its hard to pick which one to play on. even when friends are not on i still want to keep going. man its a drug.
I now want a full version of the skykraft theme😂
Skycaftmon!
yes
You all clearly mean Poke-
Professor Pine: $@#% UP!
But what if that was the full version
Might be my favorite VLDL video ever lol idk why but it gets me every time
I like how Gray just switches the r and the a around so it's not Gary.
In the original game boy games they have the names "red" and "blue" as the default names you can choose from. So it's funny to me it's also still a color.
@@kellymcgee4989 Also, ash is something that is gray in color if we want to go further down this rabbit hole.
The poke ball upside down with the VLDL logo was the cherry on top!
you mean, skyball?
As The Stupendium once sang, "There is no original, because everyone and everything is a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy"
I was really hoping for skits about the game. There’s so much potential
Weird Palworld logic season 1 when?!
Will they actually play it to do the research though? The skit kind of makes it look like they don't really know much about the game or how it plays. Like, you could replace Palworld with Temtem in the title.
@@nNicok I'm sure they would if we keep asking lol
@@nNicok i thought the same thing they went straight to what they assume the game is lol no guns or the fact you can eat them and capture bandits lol so much potential for funny AF skit about the game..and guns they dont know about the guns the critters can use lol
The pokemon theme song parody caught me 100% off guard! Well done!
What a supportive grandpa, down to singing the silly song with his grandson
I can see the cast having a blast during that song scene. The amount of cuts 😂😂😂
How you guys can pull these scenes off with a straight face is beyond me... I'm dying over here... 🤣🤣🤣
It took probably a lot of filming for them to have a straight face
They film over and over again until they get it right.
I mean I didn't laugh once so... I can see why they didn't.
@@coryv5679Well that's too bad. I guess VLDLs humor isn't really for you then. That's OK. I also love Monty Python and know a lot of people who don't care for it at all.
I wanna see the outtakes! 😅
You just reminded me of your perfect skit "Pokemon Go Battle Goes Wrong! - Bored Ep 37". See you there ;)
