Toasted is well-known for creating eye-catching mods. Final week, IGN reported on how Toasted had modded Mortal Kombat 1 into an adults-only Dreamworks vs Pixar massacre.
Toasted plans to launch a video showcasing the Palworld mod tomorrow, January 23. However already some are questioning whether or not Pocketpair will step in in a bid to forestall incurring the wrath of Nintendo, which has a wealthy historical past of taking a dim view of fan tasks and mods.
Till then, Toasted’s Palworld mod maybe presents a glimpse at what an official adult-focused ‘Pokémon sport would possibly appear to be, not that Nintendo would ever greenlight such a sport.
It’s early days for Palworld mods, in fact, however there are already a page-worth over at NexusMods. There, the most popular Palworld mod, created by KiiiNo, provides a Ghibli-style color pallet to the sport.
