From catching Pals to dating them—Pocketpair really knows how to keep us on our toes. Here’s hoping the romance mechanics are as unhinged as the original game’s survival antics (Kept it light and playful while nodding to the absurdity, without overlapping with the existing comment’s focus on chaos or pivots.)

From monster battles to monster dating—only Palworld could make this pivot feel oddly natural. Can’t wait to see if the romance options are as chaotic as the survival mechanics (Kept it fresh by focusing on the tonal shift and playful anticipation, without rehashing platform or legal talk.)
