How Temtem is DIFFERENT from Pokemon

[@nestfourthreetwoone]

“Crystle is a terrible name because it’s the same word basically as it’s type” Eelektric and Electrike: *sweats nervously*

[@thenameyoushouldknowthekin8998]

Minetendo Eelektric is actually clever due to the fact that it’s an electric eel..Crystle is literally just crystal but spelt wrong. Electrike actually sounds different, unless Crystle was meant to sound differently.

[@nestfourthreetwoone]

I really can't think of a good name don’t quote me on this but I’m pretty sure Crystle is spelt the way it is is because it’s a crystal turtle. Hence Crys-tle. I’m not saying it’s a good name I’m saying that eelektric and eletrike aren’t off the hook

You forgot the three coolest changes. 1. Temtem can evolve in the middle of battle, much like in the Pokemon anime. 2. if you catch a wild Temtem before knocking out its partner, you can actually send in your new Temtem to fight its former partner and that gives me a rather sadistic level of amusement. 3. The best change of all, the main character ACTUALLY TALKS, and she's actually quite the sassy child.

[@jakymartinez7719]

[@extrahachse3118]

Pokemon always had competition though. Games like Digimon or Yokai Watch already existed when Pokemon was around. People expecting this to put pressure on Pokemon forget that we're dealing with a franchise that makes more money than Star Wars. An Indie Game will not make them feel threatened. It's similair to wrestling. There are reasonable alternatives to WWE, but they're not going to be as big as them

[@kantongkresek1512]

As of now, tem tem won't even make a dent, pokemon is not just the game, it's a huge franchise, and although i love the idea of another competitor, it's still too early

[@TheMidnightwolf15]

When I first heard of TemTem, I honestly thought it was going to be another Digimon versus Pokemon like debate. But after watching this, yeah it's definitely not. It's not even a finished product yet and people are comparing it to literally one of the biggest gaming franchises. Granted it does have some similarities, but really, give the game a chance to stand on its own for a while before comparing it...at least wait for the game to be finished first. We have no idea what's happening behind the scenes on this game so it could be drastically different when it's finished.

[@pn8937]

my problem with this is that it is trying too hard to mimic pokemon that it forgot to create an identity of its own...Digimon had little in common with pokemon and Yokai Watch had been distinct too but this one looks like a blant pokemon clone...The battle system looks interesting but all the rest screams pokemon mod...

It’s basically Pokémon but it seems to have a level of Wiz101 gameplay in it... early in it’s stages and it already has more beautiful graphics then any Pokémon game we’ve seen in a long time AND new innovations, so it’s worth a shot to buy it. As a plus, if it’s popular, Gamefreak will actually have to start being competent and actually start putting in some form of effort into their games to derail the shifting community money. I just hope they don’t sue it and move worrilessly on with Temtem’s carcass.

[@laytrain8332]

@@penguinmaster2361 it's hard to amagin that this wasn't heavily influenced by pokemon. Iwould put money on the fact that the people who made Temtem played pokemon as kids and probably even know

[@tjackknife6590]

I've been hearing a lot of talk about Temtem and decided to learn about how it's different from Pokémon before buying it. I've heard one person say they "want their money back" but that one person also tried to convince people I was part of the "Brotherhood of Nod" which isn't even a real thing, so I might just buy it and learn to like it despite them. XD Also, I think Crystal might be based on both Rock and Steel. I'm also gonna go ahead and say my piece on the stuff you've mentioned: The stamina feature reminds me a bit of other MMOs, namely Wizard101. In that game, you start every battle with one pip and you use the pips to cast spells. Every turn you gain one pip (or a Power Pip, but that's a whole other can of worms) and this means that a valid strategy is skipping a turn and tanking some damage just for one extra pip that you would need to use a more powerful spell, like Leprechaun or Ghoul. As for the whole thing about it being better than Pokémon, I SOMEWHAT agree with you. I wouldn't say it's better than Pokémon, but it certainly shows potential to be a rival to the Pokémon franchise. Though, I highly doubt it will. It'll be more like Rivals of Aether, Brawlhalla and the like are to Smash Bros.

[@pn8937]

My major issue with it is its world...It may be (slightly)mechanically different than Pokemon but the rest of it is just a pokemon game ...They are like animals(not outlandish monsters of a different dimensions or demons like yokais) and they are captured by you ( a tamer/trainer to fight gym/dojos...The influential monster francises that rivalled pokemon were distinct of it enough and had various inspirations ....They were not even created to rival pokemon...This one looks like a corky pokemon mod with a slightly deeper battle system and new monsters...

[@michaelczerniak7653]

[@OrdemDoGraveto]

To me it's more then different enough then pokemon. 1 - The story is WAY better written and more interesting. 2 - The dialogues have just the right amount of sarcasm and forth wall breaking. 3 - The removal of accuracy and having a set number of turns for the status removes the bullshit aspect of pokemon. 4 - All battles being double are WAY more strategic. 5 - I can play it without needing to buy a Nintendo console. 6 - The animations are good. 7 - It's done by a company that actually cares about the game and don't lie to it's costumers. 8 - It's not from Game Freak. Yes, this is the same point as before, but I consider it important to say that again.

Same story : you are a 1x year old kid finally getting to go on his own journey with (insert name of the creatures) to be the (very) best. To do that, you have to win against several people recognized for their strength. You will in this journey encounter an evil organization that tries to piss people off, but you will thwart their plans every time they cross your path. Also, you have a rival.

Pros of Temtem: - The game is fluid in a sense. It' MMO, they can add global events, side quests, daily tasks, seasonal stuff, etc. Making it a better experience. - Luma is a shiny with guaranteed good stats. That means you can actually use it in competitive plays. - Battling is purely tactical and rely little on type matchup and level advantage. You need to actually think of your moves in order to win. - Temtem devs are pokemon lovers, they literally take advice from pokemon fan base and add what the players want in pokemon but didnt receive. Cons: - Online game comes with being laggy - Temtem design is less cute than pokemon. - Being harder can be a turn-off. - Currently only available on PC.

We know Nintendo cares about selling consoles and a real competitor outside their control might just be enough to get them to back off on this aggressive monetisation train they seem dead set on. We have yet to see a game successfully put together the pieces in a way that captures the game play Pokemon offers without going full Fakemon. In that sense Pokemon has had no real competition since the early days.

Great video! I just want to add some stuff that non-players will naturally miss (since it’s mostly info given by devs on their patch-notes, etc…): - Temtem has many weekly activities to do in order to get special resources and money - Temtem will have in-game tournaments organizable by players at release - PVP is more interesting than it seems: there is variety in the meta, there is no RNG in *any* form, and competitive matches are 5v5 (you start with a team of 8 and go through pick-and-ban phases - Draft mode - ending up with a team of 5); there is also a *competitive ladder* and there will be rewards linked to it in the future - There will be both an “Arcade Bar” and a Battle Tower post-release - Last but not least, *it is CROSS-PLAY and CROSS-PLATFORM* ! At the current state of the game, Temtem is available both on PC (Steam/Discord) and on PS5, and it is *confirmed* we will get Xbox and Switch versions at release (Early Access rules on those platforms do not allow Temtem to be on their shops before release) Of course there are a lot of other small and big aspects I’d like to mention (good story, dialogues, exploration element of the map, challenging AI especially in the end game…), but this is what most people would like to know before even considering Temtem, in my opinion.

[@rewind_kitsune]

The fact that it is a potential competitor for Pokemon already brings hope and joy to me. They need that push to actually start improving their games. I'm genuinely looking forward to TemTem. Something new, different, and exciting. (Pokemon has been failing to bring that to me recently, I'll forever refuse to play SW/SH). PS: TemTem reminds me a bit like the love child of Pokemon & Monster Hunter Stories & battle aspects of JWA.

I think Temtem is probably going to be the thing adult Pokemon fans really want. Pokemon is, always has been, and basically always will be a kid's game, meaning they will have to make sure it's friendly to all ages, which of course may mean things such as difficulty are slightly sacrificed for accessibility, which to some people can be a letdown for understandable reasons. Being more challenging with more variety in things Pokemon doesn't have is helpful for the older generation who looks for more in games. I also hope that Temtem potentially being Pokemon's first competition in a while will help motivate GF to put the effort fans want into the next mainline Pokemon games to bring enjoyment to everyone, not only the ones who play mostly just for fun like myself but also the more hardcore ones as well. I do and always will love Pokemon and I hope that Temtem could be the thing that helps fulfill a gap that Pokemon may have left open after some left the francise at any time as well as potentially bring people back to the series or bring in those who want to try it out for themselves.

Sure, with time and expertise you can execute it better, but it isn't really a rule, nor it's an excuse to be an indie developer for the lack of identity/design. I don't doubt that these creatures were designed with love, but the execution say: "We are not sure what is a temtem, we just wanted to do a Pokemon game with a twist, and needed creatures to fill it".

[@oz5858]

Pokémon like Metagross and Dragapult don't have one exact inspiration, and that's why they work better. Dragapult has many inspirations with a fitting backstory, and Metagross is a giant iron psychic spider, which is instantly cool. But Temtem look so similar, and they have creatures which are literally 'flying pig' and 'digital robot'. They don't really experiment with concepts and mythology like Pokémon does.

[@lindseylindsey9200]

Maybe wind is super effective on toxic because of the carbon cycle. Carbon dioxide buildup will become toxic in the body, but we can normally handle that just by breathing it out, and breathing is kind of like wind. And plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen which is an important part of the atmosphere Crystal being strong against mental could be a reference to the idea of healing crystals, since they supposedly harness and control spiritual energy. Or maybe even to radioactive minerals and metals, and their effect on the nervous system (and on all of the systems, tbh. I guess in that case you could say that radioactivity causes death and thus causes brain activity to cease)

[@xBloodxFangx]

Temtem is interesting, and I’ll probably check it out when it fully releases, but I really don’t get the hype and expectations that this will rival Pokémon. Yeah its too soon to fully tell wether it will or will not actually be a competitor to Pokémon like Digimon and yugioh were, but the key word there is *were*. Both tried, both eventually lost out and mostly vanished with Pokémon still the champion. The main issue I have with Temtem, is the look of the game. It doesnt really have that charm and the creatures lack creativity. They all basically look the same and their evolutions barely change, unlike charmander who becomes charzard and looks very different while still keeping the idea that those two Pokémon are related. Overall... its very underwhelming right now and feels like you are playing an IOS or Android app game with Miis as the characters... I do hope it passes expectations, but so far Im not really that excited.

[@kombuchas4684]

As someone playing the game right now, the animations are amazing and the battles feel incredibly fluid. However I do agree I'm not a fan of being evolutions. However I have hopes they will continue to improve.

[@diegoaraya6560]

I'm afraid that the Hype of the fanbase goes more in the line of "i'm mad at GF", "Maybe GF would lear" or "Pokemon need competition" that "Temtem is a good game by itself" (And the game is indeed interesting). The game certainly tit lack "something" that make it stand more, specially if you have played others Pokemon-like game/rip off, that make it feel it more of the same, but i guess is fine if Pokemon is the only monster taming game you played.

[@oddy5258]

Just to add something to this, Neither Digimon nor Yu-gi-oh were ever going against Pokémon to try and be the better franchise, they merely jumped the hype train to try and make a quick buck of the success of Pokémon. It's to soon to tell, but Temtem is actually the only and first game to ever try to go head to head with pokémon. I've been playing the game and currently 46 hours in, and i can honestly say, it's *Currently* not better or worse then Pokémon. It has a "unique" story, and many of it's features are familiar, but not direct copies. I'm enjoying it so far and the community i belong to is a fun one.

[@VibesEdits]

Mostly the artist to blame. If they make the characters more anime like, and adopt a more pokemon like design, the game will improve by leaps and bounds. However, the game is incredibly polished at it's fundamentals and is a fun ass game considering only 10 or so devs are working on it. Gamefreak with it's astonishingly juggernaut of profits still cannot produce a game as good as TemTem.

[@reddogpichu]

Competition is always good for us consumers doesnt matter if the designs are poop as long as temtem succeeds thats a win for us because it means GF will hopefully get worried and put more effort into pokemon which lets be honest it needs.

I get the hype -even though TemTem is riding the "anti-Gamefreak" argument. However, my main complaint is not that it's too similar to Pokemon; it's actually the opposite. It doesn't copy Pokemon enough in the right areas and that really makes it comes out "simple" The art style is too "app store" and the Temtem designs don't really hold a candle to Sugimori's or any of the other artists at Gamefreak. Yo-kai Watch has better designs and style. Also I don't really understand why it needs to be an MMO if you can't do anything substantial or meaningful with it, it's just people running around in your single-player game. I don't say all that just to be mean or to hate on Temtem. I wish it performs well and it grabs even a fraction of Pokemon fans has its own.

[@astral7950]

[@tonanbora4388]

Have you SEEN some of the pokemon designs? A red ball with ferns? Sooo much better. A pile of garbage? A pile of goo? A Bird? Another bird? Oh look, another bird? A literal rock with arms? I could go on... lol There are only a handful of Pokemon who's design actually sticks out to me, but the vast majority of them are... kind of meh or just downright facepalm worthy. So yes, TemTem design can hold a candle up to Pokemon design, especially since there are only 84 TemTem currently, compared to what Pokemon started with, and they feel about the same too me design wise as any Pokemon. But, design is a VERY subjective thing, what one person likes, someone else will hate... sooo eh X-D Same with style. You forget that WoW's style was, and still is VERY popular though, so dismissing it and using that as a reason for it not being as good as Pokemon... is wrong. What will ultimatly set TemTem apart is its world, and mechanics, and so far, it has done quite a bit in that regaurd. Stamina managment is a HUGE game changer along side Holding and so far I have actually been likeing it over the PP usage Pokemon has, quite a bit actually. As for feeling different, I think TemTem feels MUCH more different than Pokemon already. Pokemon cannot evolve and level up mid fight, learning new moves in the middle of an intense fights. You can't revive and 100% heal your whole team with a single item between check points. Pokemon suffers from move spam, why use anything else? TemTem gives you a reason to use something else, and forces you to make the most of your moves and decide if you want to overexert your TemTem, or swich it out for a fresh one and give it a rest, it gives it a more realistic feeling to battles. In Pokemon shows and movies Pokemon DO exert themselves and get tired, but in the games, this is not the case. TemTem's Stamina system gives you that feeling. Okay, essay done X-D lol
