He has a team of modders that he frequently works with, who create mods for his videos, that he then showcases and puts on his Patreon. It was only a matter of time before he got his hands on a Palworld Pokémon mod.

The game hassold millions of copiesin its first few days, but it has definitely divided some fanbases. Maybe this mod will bring them together, as it turns your main character into Ash Ketchum and swaps many Pals with the Pokémon they’ve been compared to.

Well, the update regarding the Palworld Pokémon mod was sent. The YouTuber states, “Due to Nintendo’s harsh stance on modding and the modding scene, we have decided not to ‘poke the bear’ by releasing the mod on Patreon.”

He and his team plan on releasing the mod for free on another site, such as NexusMods in the future. ToastedShoes just wanted to play it safe for now, especially with Nintendo already taking action against the short clip of the mod.
