Especially since villages are populated with Pokemon NPCs rather than villagers. While I was planting some crops, I had two Mareep constantly interrupting me, wanting to fight.Įven if you get past the Minecraft basics, you find the Pixelmon stuff intruding everywhere. And because you can be interrupted by a Pokemon passing by, it gets in the way of you doing basic chores like mining and cutting down trees. The lack of sheep means you can’t make a bed. Because there are no cows, you can’t kill them for meat and leather. Because you don’t get normal spawns, this in turn makes normal Minecraft tedious. It’s actually hard to play normal Minecraft normally in Pixelmon too!

Heck, the Pixelmon server I play on gives you a free Pidgeot right off the bat, alongside your starter, so you can get around. The fact that other players will be around and willing to help is good as well.

There, you can heal your Pokemon and access a PC with ease. At the very least, there’s always a nice spawn area which you can return to. You get introduced to a server, you’ll be given some Pokeballs and, most of the time, the forced encounters are turned off so you’re not bombarded with Pokemon attacking you. Multiplayer Pixelmon doesn’t have this issueĪny community-run Pixelmon server will at least have some sort of path to follow. I ended up basically building my home AT a Pokecenter because my Mudkip spent more time dead than alive. The exact same happened with a level 12 Pidove, just as I left another Pokecenter. Not that it mattered, because as soon as I exited a Pokecenter, I was attacked by a level 10 Mareep, which didn’t allow my Mudkip to escape and killed it with ease. Luckily, I found a Plains biome, which spawned several Pokecenters which I could heal my single Mudkip at.
In my newly created Pixelmon world, I actually ran as quickly as I could to the first random healer I could find. Many of these Pokemon will also attack you straight away, leaving you with a dead Pokemon in seconds. It’ll dump you in a world surrounded by all sorts of Pokemon, many of which will be level 10 or above. And if something happens and your Pokemon faints, you can fix them up somewhat easily in the starting town. Even if you can’t run from a fight, you can win at least. You fight Weedles and Pidgeys and Rattatas, up until you can level up your starter for a bit and give it moves outside of Tackle, Growl and maybe Scratch. But on top of that, you’re also in an area where Pokemon around you are almost always… really easy. You are given a Pokedex and a starter and perhaps some Pokeballs pretty quickly. Look at the beginning of any Pokemon game. It’s because there is no gradual increase, no leveling according to your own level. Pixelmon completely lacks the Pokemon Flowįunnily enough, it’s pretty easy to explain WHY single player Pixelmon is bad. Seriously, in the time it took me to walk out of the ice taiga I started in, I had been attacked by a good 5 Pokemon, all of them above the level of my starter Mudkip, half of them resistant to Mudkip’s attacks. And even on Peaceful Mode, they WILL attack. There are no cows, no sheep, no Creepers or Zombies. You land in the middle of nowhere, with a Pokemon that can die easily, surrounded by randomly generated Pokemon.
A bog-standard randomly generated Survival mode is awful. You’re doubly screwed if you don’t have the Starter Chest, which at least provides some Pokeballs. There’s no one to help you, there’s nowhere to go and your Pokemon won’t last five minutes. At least not in the same way multiplayer Pixelmon does. Simply put, single player Pixelmon simply doesn’t work very well. The main good thing about Pixelmon is being able to pick ANY of the Gen 1-7 starters.
I went and created a new Minecraft world and tried to give Pixelmon a chance. This is actually a refreshed opinion, as I have written about Pixelmon in the past. It is by far the most awkward thing to play, by a long shot. There’s also always people around ready to help. Many servers also have options to give new players items like Pokeballs and easy access to Healers and PCs. Pixelmon multiplayer servers can have their problems, but at least you can do things like trade between players and fight each other.

Whenever I play Pixelmon, a Minecraft mod that basically recreates Pokemon in Minecraft, I almost always do it in a multiplayer server.
