People were upset for all of 5 seconds when it was revealed that G-max Eevee's move only attracts Pokemon of the opposite gender still. If some troon screeches about no monsters having a special snowflake gender nobody's going to give a shit.

While about 70% of me agrees with you, keep in mind that Temtem's biggest audience is unhappy Pokemon fans. This seems to be the unhappy competitive people and the unhappy snowflakes. There'll probably be some desperate Stanning, at least at first, but this fanbase is primed to go apeshit.
 
Anecdotally, I can tell you that several of my friends are super excited for Temtem because they're primarily PC gamers who like MMOs and are happy to not have to spend several hundred dollars on a Switch just to only play Pokemon on it. I wouldn't be surprised if that type of gamer ends up being the silent majority.

Well, the game drops publicly tomorrow...

Any wagers on what may happen? I'm kinda banking that the game will crash due to the servers not being able to take it.

It'll probably be decided really quickly.

If the servers are bad or buggy, then there's really no reason to play Temtems. It'll most likely drop off the radar like a stone if that happens. And considering the iffy results of the stress tests, I'm not 100% confident they're ready for a Steam release, even in early access.

If the game's functional, then it will come down HARD to content - keeping a relatively quick delivery of it will be critical. Especially as there's basically marsh gas for content rn. If they can't keep the flow going, this will taper off, with desperate people hoping it will get Nintendo to care.

and Icons and other direct clones of popular nintendo games that lack the branding.

There's a reason why we're never getting another Dragon Quest Monsters again.

But, um, they keep releasing new ones. Joker versions, and yeah, that part 3 to original setting that is, apparently, slow-developing. So bad example.

Yeah, it's just that the Dragon Quest franchise as a whole is based in Japan. Yo-kai watch is similar, with a brief sharp spike when it first came out in 2015 and then slowly shrinking back into Japan. It didn't help Yo-kai that the next year after it first debuted (and was thought to be a potential Pokemon killer), Pokemon Go came out and stole back the spotlight.

Also, I was looking through the (very basic) TemTem forums, and discovered this lol in the feedback section. This was due to bright flashing lights giving a player headaches.

Most MMOs are fucked up on launch. So it'll have a grace period with more enthusiast level players. The normies will dip quick tho.

I have a feeling it'll be a TORtanic situation where it will just crash and burn as it shits itself from servers going up in flames and the content being buggy/imbalanced.

I always have mixed feeling of chairman rose, I don't hate him, and he looks neat, but his excution of his plan was god awful.

Yes his plan was stupid, but I can get behind why he did it. I think he makes a great analog to the pokemon dev team.

As they both lacked the excution part of the plan, and did it with good intentions(Probably).

I think they were trying too hard to make Rose a deep character who has one of those "evil because I need to be" mentalities but it's really hard to frame Rose's character. He doesn't really feel like an antagonist, just some guy who hops in and does some shit just because, and shrugs as he's dragged off in handcuffs after everything goes to shit. There wasn't even any buildup with Rose. He, Oleana, and Macro Cosmos just suddenly turn evil practically overnight. I think the whole thing with Rose releasing Eternatus was really unnecessary and should have been replaced with a more worthwhile story to accompany the Gym Challenge story.

Don't even get me started with these two.

Actually, on a whim, I decided to check out Temtem's Kickstarter - Managed to get over half a million dollars, which is respectable, but MY GOD.

Some of the rewards were just... BLEH.

Like, the worst is 6000 dollars to help design a Temtem. And in case you're wondering, 4 people have taken that tier.

So, if Temtem goes down the shitter, that's 6 grand down the drain - And people are bitching about 30 dollar DLC?!

Wow.

For context, Shovel Knight's Director For A Day - an equivalent or arguably higher value item in terms of context, though maybe more or less in workload - cost 1k. But to be fair, that's only four people. They might see Pokemon's DLC price as perfectly reasonable.

I more lol at them for going to all that effort when another guy made a Fakemon and the Temtem devs paid HIM for it.

Edit: Should we make a new thread for Temtem? It's a small thing, but now's the time, if ever, to make it.
