Pocketpair's Palrap: A Musical Tribute to Palworld

A devoted Palworld fan has crafted a version of the Pokerap from the Pokemon series specifically for the Pocketpair title. Palworld, often described as Pokemon with guns, may have its connection to the Pokemon franchise further solidified by this unique Pokerap rendition.

Since the early days of the Pokemon anime, certain episodes would end with the iconic Pokerap. This catchy song lists the names of the Pokemon in a rhyming order, not in numerical or alphabetical sequence. As each Pokemon is mentioned, scenes of their appearances in the anime are showcased simultaneously. The Pokerap tradition was upheld in the Pokemon series until the end of the Hoenn region, with newer Pokemon anime seasons lacking the beloved song. Recently, a fan has taken it upon themselves to create a Pokerap dedicated to the Pals of Palworld in an equally catchy tune.

In a recent video shared by Reddit user HiMyNameIsJudge, a Pokerap dedicated to Palworld was featured. The Palworld song, much like the original Pokerap, includes lyrics related to the game in addition to naming the characters. The jingle at the beginning of the song mentions that players can assign their Palworld Pals to various tasks, setting the tone for the rest of the tune.

How Many Pals Were Named in This Pokerap?

The Palworld song names a total of 16 Pals in its first chunk, including Hoocrates, Tanzee, Elphidran, Chikipi, Cremis, Bushi, Menasting, Daedream, Jolthog, Vixy, Robinquill, Penking, Foxparks, Lyleen, Pyrin, and Nitewing. The lyrics then move on to describe how players must use their melee or ranged weapons to attack specific Pals before being able to pit them against each other. Instead of the iconic "gotta catch 'em all" phrase from the Pokerap, the Palworld version ends with the lines "they could live or die," followed by "it's all the same to me."

The Palworld version of the Pokemon Pokerap lists all Pals except for the Cryst variants. In the middle, there's a mention of Palworld Black Marketeers who trade Pals for Gold Coins. The community appreciates the attention to detail in naming each Pal, and the fact that they all rhyme like the Pokerap shows the effort put into the song. This is the first song created by the Reddit user, indicating their interest in the Pocketpair game.

Given that Palworld is still in early access, more Pals may be added to the game in the future. Because of this, the Pokerap-style song may be subsequently expanded as well.

Editor's P/S:

The Palworld Pokerap is a creative and nostalgic tribute to the iconic Pokemon anime. By adapting the familiar format of the original Pokerap to the world of Palworld, the fan behind this rendition has cleverly highlighted the similarities and differences between the two games. The catchy tune, rhyming lyrics, and references to the game's mechanics and features make it a delightful treat for fans of both Pokemon and Palworld.

However, the song's ending, with its "they could live or die" line, offers a poignant contrast to the more lighthearted tone of the Pokemon Pokerap. This subtle shift underscores the more violent and survival-oriented nature of Palworld, where players must make tough choices about their Pals' fates. Overall, the Palworld Pokerap is a fun and engaging creation that demonstrates the creativity and passion of the game's community while also providing a unique perspective on its unique blend of familiar and distinct elements.
