The Mystery
Despite the absence of official announcements from Pocketpair, players have pieced together clues from trailers, pre-release content, and diligent datamining efforts to uncover the potential new additions. Among the unreleased Pals are a striking red and black bipedal creature reminiscent of Zoroark, an Electric-lion named Boltmane sharing similarities with Luxray from Pokémon, and a "Dark Mutant" with an uncanny resemblance to a recolored Mega Mewtwo Y.
The lineup also includes a colossal flying whale, speculated to be linked to the massive skeletal remains scattered throughout the game. Additionally, players have identified a flying creature reminiscent of Reshiram and an elongated Chinese dragon Pal. While these discoveries have stirred anticipation among the player base, the fate of these creatures remains uncertain, leaving players to ponder whether they will ever roam Palworld.
Speculation and Potential Hurdles
As players eagerly await official word from the developers, questions linger about the practicality of introducing certain Pals. The gigantic flying whale, in particular, raises concerns about fitting into players' Palworld bases, posing a unique challenge for both developers and players.
Meanwhile, the striking similarities between Boltmane, the Dark Mutant, and existing Pokémon have sparked debates, especially considering Nintendo's scrutiny of Palworld's connections to its iconic franchise.
