  • Dragons: six limbs, two of which are wings Centaurs: Six limbs, two of which are arms attached to a humanoid torso

    There's a post going around that's something like "what if ever sports team was named after the most populous animal in their region?" And so every team was just Ants. Dallas ants, Washington ants, Minnesota ants, it's always ants.
  • omg i really love the palworld desgins, i love having many many different versions of many many different monsters just to be able to have unique teams :D Cant wait to see how complex that gets and how many they will add
  • That rant at the start is a mood XD. My friends : THERE IS NO VARIETY IN ANT SPECIES me: EXCUSE ME? sets out to make a durant of every type EVERY SINGLE TYPE. Like seriously there are so many crazy ant varients.

    Despite knowing I will immediately be Diogenes'ed: A horse is a creature that you could imagine would be ridden by any sort of elf/fairy/fae in any form of fantasy story or art, that you would not otherwise think of as a different sort of pet (like a dog, cat, mouse, or I hate to have to say spider).
  • @A11V1R15
    Now i'd like to see the 151 first pokémon in these categories to compare
  • I think it's logical to assume that Chillet is a lizard, it's a dragon type
  • @MAJWCF
    Dinosaurs had hair and feather like structures so the dinosaur could have a mane
  • I want to add two pieces of evidence to the “Chilet is a mammal” debate: -Chillet’s normal drop is “Leather” which only drops from pals assigned to the different “mammal” categories. The only exception being Fuack, who I can argue to be a platypus and therefore a mammal. -Chillet’s alpha version can drop “Precious Pelt”. All pals whose alphas drop “Precious Pelt” are also categorized as mammals. Therefore, I rest my case on Chillet being a mammal.
  • My biggest gripe about Pokémon is how they'll gender lock anything slightly feminine/cutesy. I still think it's ridiculous that a pile of whipped cream and a hammer wielding freak are considered "girl only." Palworld is fun because all of the monsters can be girls AND boys.
  • How would you categorize it if it was in a fantasy world and it was magical creatures?
  • @BatalionHunter
    now to split pal's into a list of weather they are sentient or just very intelligent animals (or regular animals that would totally attack their own reflection)
  • @InkWhisper
    For your consideration. Azurobe (or however you spell it) is a seal. A fantasy seal, but....a seal. And Blazemaut is a dragon, despite the lack of wings in your categorization, as dragons across many cultures and media can be wingless, and have fur, while still retaining reptile qualities (such as scales and laying eggs). Also, Chillet is a weasel. The fur is implied through shapes in its design, and iirc, if you zoom in on the texture in game, it does have a fur-like texture. (As does Lovander's chest and wrist floofs, meaning Lovander could easily fall under Humandoid or Dragon-like given my excuse for Blazemaut, despite it's overall lizard-like shape)
  • Okay, never thought I'd subscribe to a vtuber, but watching how unhinged this became, made me want to subscribe.
  • Thanks for the idea. I'll be doing this with Pokémon now. Also, funny video.
  • I do wanna quickly comment that bugs are capable of producing hair too, so Azurobe could also count as a water worm or giant plankton of some kind if we open it up and find no bones. Blazamut also never says it has hair, just a "mane", and considering how rough the translation is in places, and the fact it's a fan description, that might not be an accurate term. It could very well actually have feathers arranged like a mane. On the Harnkess test, two pals actually very cleanly pass the test; Lunaris and Lyleen, as they both explicitly have methods of communication laid out, Lunaris in the Paldex, and Lyleen as revealed in Lily's diaries, where not only can they communicate, it's somewhat implied they're in lesbians too. If we expropriate from 100% confirmed to "reasonably probable", we can add daedream (Can communicate directly through dreams) and Leezpunk (can communicate through sign/body language and make complex goods (clothing)) to that list as potentially able to communicate and be smart enough to consent. Then you have Hoocrates who very clearly is of human level intelligence, yet we don't know if they can communicate. It's entirely possible that every Hoocrates you see is down bad, but unable to communicate their consent. To them, we are the ones failing the Harnkess test. This says a lot about society. Also, Loveander very clearly has plumage, that's a bird. Birds win.
