I can't believe there haven't been more Pokemon style games by now. It should be a whole genre. The game formula just works, and sadly Gamefreak barely iterates on it. Glad to see someone else doing it.

[@theepicoshawott]

It's because people have such severe brand loyalty they'd die before supporting Pokemon's competitors

[@mariofan1ish]

Digimon still exists. It's not doing as well as Pokemon and may even fall behind TemTem, but it's survived. Most of the competitors had a habit of flying too far under the radar in spite of their own individual qualities.

[@ERoBB1]

@@mariofan1ish Digimon felt more like a copy of the anime. The toys and games came as secondary merch. I wonder why there's no AAA game developer working on their own take on the video game formula.

[@mariofan1ish]

@@ERoBB1 Because it isn't a genre with mass appeal. Digimon is either a fairly generic JRPG with a great evolution system, or a Virtual Pet you can battle with depending on the title. And with the Tamagotchi craze well and truly behind us, the odds of seeing a AAA game with that formula as the focus is basically zero.

[@jaalan7896]

I agree it could be a genre, but this game is literally a copy of pokemon with a few slight changes in the battle mechanics. I do however have temtem, and I like it.

[@amongar]

I hope Temtem is a BIG success, maybe this will scare Game Freak, and will force them to really improve the Pokemon games.

"Losing my patience with Pokemon" is a good way to describe it. I personally love "Knock-Offs", because you know... if the knock-Off does it better than the original than who's fault is it really? It's how genres evolve.

[@kodabeer7483]

Carlos Glover it’s not only how genres evolve, it’s also how some come to existence. Pokemon isn’t even a genre, it’s just a game title under adventure and fantasy. It’s like how battle royale was under shooter till it blew up into its own genre, and not just a subclass.

This would be so much cooler if it went for a darker art style though. Instead of tamers there would be witches and occultists. Instead of pokeballs or cards there would be summon circles. Instead of cute monsters there would be demons, angelic entities, lovecraftian beings, undead animals, etc . World would be gritty and apocalyptic, maybe something like Bloodborne or Dark Souls 3.

[@rivenix5934]

@@meemo5779 There's a difference between being passionate and critical of something you love, and being naive. Some of us have played since gen 1, and it's easy to notice the drop in quality with each console jump for SOME cases (Diamond and Pearl was wonderful.). On that note, I disliked quite a bit about Sun/Moon, and Sw/Sh was VERY lacking outside of great ideas with the Wild Area and the core mechanics. However, I feel the content in the DLC is doing the game, and Game Freak justice. Seems like it's bringing in almost everything the current gen was lacking, and thus made the games (hopefully) feel like less a rushed knockoff. And no, I don't just mean the # of Pokemon, that's not really my concern. The Pokemon polish is there, but it's clear by this DLC the devs knew what the game needed, and thankfully gave it without requiring a $60 SHINING SWORD version. Temtem seems like it could be a fun time sink while waiting for the DLC. I'm hoping it works out well and has plenty of support in the future!

[@brockolsen3871]

[@xXDragonTribalXx]

@@jaire4061 No joke, the reason that I could buy *1 game* and potentially get the same chance as everyone to get all the monsters was my largest selling point. It's also widely accessible through steam, got some really good mechanics, sounds and animations for indie and kinda fell in love with the creatures designs. Not all of them ofc. but for what it's worth, the art style is *very* congruent / strung together well in a way, some Pokémon Episodes would really fail me. I can see the set of starter and box art Pokémon and think "oh this game is probably not getting me attached too much". While Temtem has some I'd say aesthetically weaker looking starters, the game is not about that journey from the start with your starter but more about your team composition and strategy you can come up with. Your starter is not a one off either (at least in the near future) you can capture them at a later point!

[@whitemoonwolf13]

i like how this combines some elements of digimon as well, the capture system in the cards as well as the look of some of the temtems.

[@IAmEvilTree]

I'm looking forward to getting this for the switch. Pokemon's been making some very unpopular decisions, both lately and overall, and while they may not directly affect me as a casual player I don't feel good supporting them for those that these issues are important with. Pokemon's been in some dire need of competition for a while now and I love the graphics and design choices for this game. I also find level grinding fun which from the sound of it will help me just fine.

[@SorasShadow1]

So far the only other video I've seen pop up in my feed about Temtem hadn't played a Pokemon game in about 10 years & clearly knew very little about the actual differences between these games. Stuff like "you can customize your character, Pokemon doesn't have that!" & "HMs are gone, Pokemon hasn't done that!" to the point of distraction from what he might've actually been saying about Temtem itself. So I'm really glad to see you guys touch on it in a more faithful way, even with all "it's a Pokemon clone"

[@AirTails]

I think it's solid. But I think the hype is....a bit unrealistic at the moment. It's a good game, I've been pretty hooked - but at present in this alpha stage it's not different enough from Pokémon at all to warrant people who are already jaded with that franchise drooling over it and being melodramatic mostly because of Pokémon's failures rather than temtems successes. In the future, when it actually becomes an MMO - because apart from seeing other players right now it isn't particularly one, it has a lot of promise though for sure. The stamina mechanic is refreshingly tactical, and I like how all the bosses in the game are feeling tough enough to deserve their reputations. The designs don't have the same charm as Pokémon admittedly, but some of them have grown on me - like new pokemon generations I just need time to get acquainted with them. I just hate how most evolutions are just "get bigger". Pokémon showed a lot more nuance and imagination with its evolutions. Setting aside any Pokémon comparisons, it's a fine addition to the monster catcher genre, but unless you're a huge fan of those games to start with it might be worth waiting a few months

[@Killer99215]

Its way better than Pokemon. If you ever tried Temtem, and really did try... You are a nut if you go back to Pokemon, seriously. Pokemon is easy and annoying. Temtem's solutions are simply more modern and better, easy life compared to Pokemon, but still more difficult. Pokemon isn't even really worth a mention in the genre of pocket monster catchers..

[@Myrmidon50]

"it's very easy to write off as a Pokémon rip off" Maybe because every video is Temtem (Pokémon mmo!)

[@BeliasLP]

it is a rip off, minus storytelling minus mon design variety.

[@eshryo]

Belias in what way is it a ripoff? It’s kind of annoying how a game that has a similar capturing concept because of inspiration, but entirely different graphics and gameplay is called a ripoff

[@BeliasLP]

@@eshryo its the same capture mechanic, the same random encounter type in wild gras areas, the same 2 vs 2 concept, the same 4 moves to choose from, the evolutions by leveling up (unlike other monster collecting games like digimon). on top of that, they use fakemon designs made by pokemon fan artists who clearly had pokemon in mind. its even the same ''super effective'' and element/type kind of thing, where most games usually only have 3-6 elements.

[@matteoalberghini3816]

@@BeliasLP dude you're trying to hard to convince yourself that this game is not good. It does so much shit better then Pokémon that at this point we could call the next Pokémon temtem ripoff

[@eshryo]

Belias 1. Capturing enemies/monsters isn’t an idea that Pokemon came up with. 2. Random encounters have been a thing way way way before Pokemon and it’s extremely common in games. 3. Pokemon doesn’t use 2v2 combat and they weren’t the first to have 2v2 battles, it’s actually pretty rare that you’ll even do a 2v2 battle besides the game forcing you to do it maybe once in the story. 4. Once again choosing 4 moves in a rpg isn’t a Pokemon thing and has existed way before Pokemon, not to mention being in multiple other games not even in the same genre as Pokemon. 5. Evolution by leveling up is literally in EVERY rpg that exists and AGAIN was something that existed before Pokemon. It’s an RPG so of course leveling up through battles is s thing. 6. The you’re taking these “fakemons” out of context because it was a fan who bought the rights to the design then payed their gofundme to get it put into the game. This wasn’t there decision and they were basically obligated to add it at that point and it was only one as far as I’m aware. 7. The concept of being super effective and type advantages once again wasn’t something that Pokemon created and its *very* common in videos. It’s actually insanely common. The only type that’s even remotely close to Pokemon is fighting. They don’t have nearly as many types as Pokemon and it seems like its fully fleshed out for balance unlike Pokemon. Type effectiveness doesn’t even work in the same way as Pokemon. The game is inspired by Pokemon and has the same collectable monster concept but that’s not something unique to Pokemon and they didn’t even do it first. The rest are extremely common in games, especially RPGs and the stuff that isn’t common is meant for differentiation and balancing.

As somebody who has practically zero experience with pokemon this game is a cool intro into the monster catching genre. It's almost daunting trying to get into pokemon considering how many games and pokemon there are now. This is a nice way to get a fresh start into a genre with a game that hasn't been around forever. The fact it's an mmo is a plus to me. I havent owned many Nintendo consoles so it's cool to see it on pc as well. So far I've enjoyed it and hopefully once its fully released it really takes off.

[@TheOnlyLeel]

Yeah no. When you copy a company who's been doing this for 20+ years style you don't really get your own chance in the market. It is very clearly a rip off of Pokemon. It's either gonna flop because of that or it's gonna do well and piss off Nintendo

[@OwlpoAnimations]

MooseGamingTKO first of all digimon, yokai, and many more games have done the same gimmick pokémon has and that gimmick is catching monsters. You can copy something if there fans are hella pissed at you because you were cheap. Yokai was called a rip off of pokémon because it shared a small resemblance to pokémon (now granted this is much more alike to pokémon then both digimon and yokai but it still stands). The fans want a harder game with a better story and if Temtem is willing to deliver that then it will definitely work.

I will say one super important thing which wasnt mentioned is that while coop is possible, it also means that you only get exp on one of your temtems at a time, which seems like quite a big punishment just for wanting to play coop, they also seem to encourage various temtem uses but makes getting exp quite a pain, so i really hope that is gonna be fixed later, but regardless if you plan on playing COOP just be aware that you will have less higher level temtems which doesnt matter if you keep cooping, but if you only plan on playing it every so often its a major detriment.
