A new mod for the survival game “Palworld” has been created, featuring iconic characters from the Pokémon franchise, including Ash and Pikachu. This mod, developed by the Australian YouTuber Toasted Shoes, has garnered significant attention in the gaming community. It transforms the game’s world and characters into a Pokémon-themed environment, allowing players to engage in battles and interactions with various characters from the beloved Pokémon series.
In the mod, players can take on the role of Ash Ketchum and encounter various Pokémon characters, including Pikachu, Venusaur, and even Team Rocket. This mod seems to have been integrated into “Palworld” through an unofficial backdoor in the game’s code, as the game’s developer, Pocket Pair, has not officially released mod support for “Palworld.” However, Pocket Pair plans to add official mod support in the future.

“Palworld” itself is a survival RPG with an open world and creatures known as “Pals,” which resemble animals. The game allows players to engage in battles, capture Pals, and utilize them for various purposes such as constructing bases and navigating the game’s world.
Since its release, “Palworld” has faced some criticism for its similarities to the Pokémon franchise, particularly its creature-collecting aspect. Despite this, the game has achieved significant success, with a rapidly growing player base.
Toasted Shoes has announced a full video showcasing the mod, which is expected to provide a more detailed look at the mod and its features.
