Temtems - A Failed Attempt At A Pokeclone

[Disc]

I'd laugh if that is the actual reason.

I saw some footage of the game barely working from its launch, it looks alright, I'm interested to see how the whole blue bar replacing PP plays out in actual battles and not just easy early game battles. I liked the Colosseum games focus on double battles so I kind of like seeing a game more directly design a pokemon-esque game around double battles. The art style looks kind of eh, it is like anime yet not anime, it just looks strange just go full anime if you want to make an anime game. I also hate the lazy "voice acting" that just spouts random lines as that shit gets old fast especially when you don't have competent voice talent.

I might give the game a shot once I see it actually finished as I have absolutely no faith in any potential of a Steam early access game enough to put down even 10 dollars let alone 35.

With regards to the pp, it's very much a hard throttle.

Stamina in temtem scales a lot lower than any other stat. to the point that when my temtem have hp in the 70-90 range, my stamina is still mid 30s. This means that getting a
'good' and a 'cheap' temtem move is always a factor to consider. 4 Move Slot Syndrome is even worse in this game.

You'll go a lot further in the game once you realise a simple trick: let the enemy exhaust himself. NPC Tamers don't generally switch out, so once a temtem's low on stamina, every turn they attack will 'overexert' them, dealing damage and causing them to lose a turn. This means that you can focus way more on their remaining temtem, and burn through those very quickly. If you've played pokemon, imagine Truant mixed with every move having recoil damage.

Does he usually talk this slow? Also... 37k views... From a million plus sub channel... OUCH.

The escapist has more-or-less shrinkwrapped into the shape of Yahtzee. His videos are what 90% of those people are subscribed for, guaranteed.

That... Sounds really lame.

I have to ask, is there a stamina draining move? Cause that would really break that game.

What's the point of cramming all this weird gender shit into (what I expect to be) a children's game? And also why is it called Temtem? Is there any reason for that name? Pokemon comes from Pocket Monsters, Digimon comes from Digital Monsters and Yokai Watch comes from the god damned fact that you have a watch that summons Yokai in game. So what the hell is Temtem?

Sword/Shield cost $60 each + $30 if you want the expansion pass. $35 makes it a poor man's Pokemon.

Guarantee you no children are buying this game, because kids don’t give a fuck about Pokémon’s flaws. SWSh isn’t perfect, but it’s not fundamentally flawed, just lacking four or five layers of polish. People are being ridiculous if they want to compare it to an actual buggy mess of a game like FO76. This game was made for exactly those sorts of people - butthurt older pokefags.

to get off topic for a while, I've been a fan of pokemon for years (stopped calling myself a fan due to all the shit slinging last year, but still enjoy it), and yes, SwSh are certainly not perfect. No game is. And honestly, I think its important to at least give GF some credit for trying to make things better with the DLC, it's not a perfect solution, the price is bullshit for that.

HOWEVER, in regards to Temtem, you'll get people who are excusing the same flaws that are in pokemon that are in Temtem, like the limited animations, some of the poor artstyle choices, and just because it's 'better'.

Play lame win games

I don't believe there's anything that straight up drains Stamina, but there is the exhausted condition, which multiplies stamina usage by 1.5. The two moves I could find that used it were damageless by default, but had synergies that add damage.

Synergies are a cool concept. Temtem attacks will become more powerful depending on the types of their ally. In my playthrough, the normally slow-crystle got a move called Crystal Dust, which gains power and priority through a wind temtem ally. As I mentioned, the early game is riddled with wind temtem, so this instantly became a power move.

By the way, when temtem use more stamina than they have, they take double the difference in hp through overexertion. So if a Temtem has 11 stam left, and uses a 15 stam move, they'll take 8 damage.

So far, the latter two bosses I fought both had one 'super' move, a move clearly tuned for later in the game - one that cost them most of their stamina bar and had a much longer animation. They look cool, and really hurt, but they really drain that stam, and leave it weak after just a couple of attacks.

The price of breeding items was raised by 5x in this morning's patch. For those of you who have played the game, how easy or hard is it to make money in this game to buy things? And I'm assuming that there isn't any way to increase money games, i.e. Amulet Coin and Happy Hour in the Pokémon games. Also, were the devs that worried about inflation this early on to just raise the prices like that?

 

[Glowie]

The moderators are either autistic, trannies who paid upwards to thousands for petty ingame cosmetix, forum and their Discord powers.
The mod activity vary between 'leave to play with my tem tems, peasant' to offended trannies and typical libshit who run off screech to rescue any given offended tranny and/or trigglypuff. Following screencap made few circles around various servers

That being said their discord is open to the public, doesn't require purchase of the game, you are welcome to join, lurk and catch your personal lolcow or get in good graces of moderators. This screenshot is but the tip of inclusive blob of lard floating in the sea of inclusivity.
I can only wait when one of these hypermoralist twats are outed as degenerates if game takes off if at all. Considering the fact TemTem has to complete GameFreak's annual Monster hunter [insert flavor here] edition + 1.
It's pretty obvious TemTem has to resort to ingame shops like PokeMMO to stay afloat.

All in all TemTem has embracing community, as long you have right opinions and keep that shit eating grin while talking about whatever banal topic these autists come up with.

Seeing (Archive) this (Archive) in the replies is hilarious. So one of the main complaints about Sw/Sh is the catch level cap, so what does Temtem do? ADD A CATCH LEVEL CAP! And unlike Game Freak, they didn't make it so creatures that can't be caught can't be shiny (granted Game Freak fucked it up on static encounters in the Wild Area, but you can actually say they tried, unlike these guys)!

EDIT: Updated screenshot to include the dude replying's likes, since it shows the priorities of the Temtem fanbase.

TemTem sheep unironically defend the shiny uncatchability, because it makes sense somehow if some random shmuck wasted hundreds of hours to encounter a sparkle dogs reject that can't caught, the community reflects how shit the game is.

It's almost like the pure blind degenerate fury they have pokemon, has led them to be even more toxic then gen 1'ers. Ouch.

Like any other furry and tranny infested cult, they life by 'rules for thee, but not for me' bullshit.
Moderators are shamelessly leftist, trannies and furries and ban any given wrong think, IE talking about identity politics or oh lawldy defending Trump. You know usual the usual punching up/down bullshit with joke policing sprinkled on top of the shit sandvich. Of course you're sucking mod's taint clean and have pronouns in your name, you're above the rules.

Lol pokemon is for soytendo, so what does that make reject pokemon then?

Shitposting aside speaking as someone who has been wanting a Battlefield clone forever because fuck EA, most of the time these knock off brand games niche games don't get the shit done ( *Cough WW3 by Farm51 Cough*). There are several factors:

• Typically because they are going after very big name games that have a fuck ton of money to throw into time to polish. These smaller niche knock off devs cannot hope to compete with.
• It is typically marketed for the niche super hardcore demographic that likes the original, and generally speaking that is a small amount of people so, small sales numbers.
• By and large the average fan that says they will support the alternative version typically don't and just go back to the main version. Or just doesn't give enough of a shit to care.
• The knock off doesn't do enough to put itself apart from the originally (typically by design) so it just comes across as a shittier version then the original. Which leaves many people going "why even bother?".

Now this isn't universally true, city skylines beat the shit out of sim city. But it the above are issues that often arise. TFW no Battlefield without EA's horse shit ever.

Oh before I go, fuck the nigger tranny faggots that made this game lamo.

So how bad are TemTem shills compared to the Pokemon ones?

While I am curious to try the game out it looks like shit. The monster and human designs are awful. The color palette is eye searing. I notice the platypus fakemon gets shilled the most. Wonder if they are aware their own designs look bad and are trying to use a well known Fakemon made in the usual Pokemon art style to draw people in. Monster collecting games live and die by the quality of their designs. You can have a nice plot and fleshed out world but it means nothing if the main draw of the game is awful. Also the game is an mmorpg and has microtransactions which is another strike.

Besides there are so many better monster collecting games that are actually fully playable products if people badly want a Pokemon alternative. Digimon Cyber Sleuth on the Switch comes with two full 60+ hour games for 50$ and frequently goes on sale. You also have Digimon Next Order for those who prefer the virtual pet raising style. Digimon Survive is coming out this year. And for the non Digimon games you have the Yokai Watch and Dragon Quest Monsters series.

From what I have read it comes more across as people desperate for a not shit pokemon game so they try to defend it out of a sense of sunk cost fallacy.

Also why does pokemon specifically but Nintendo in general attract such faggotry? Is it the bright colors? So they can play uwu non-threatening games and not have toxic masculinity or some shit?

People are actually bitching about Nintendo not being woke enough. The Pokemon fandom is full of sjws who bash the games because there isn’t any LGBT representation and get overly offended by how fictional brown people dress. Same thing with the latest Fire Emblem game. People care so much about the plight of fictional brown people that they will scream and tear apart the writing looking for things to be offended over. I had to stop following people on social media because I was fed up with them complaining about how they are desperately trying to find crumbs of lgbt representation in Pokemon and feel like they are being thrown scraps. The games and the series in general don’t even touch on romance at all.

I wonder if the reason the newer Pokemon games don’t ask if you are a boy or a girl is because of the woke crowd. Even in FE3H the gender selection screen says “choose your form” instead.

The only good thing about TemTem is that with all of this woke shit it will cause some of the obnoxious Pokemon sjws to jump ship so they can get their fix of circle jerking over representation. I am already seeing some of them doing it.

It's people grown up with it so they have a sense of familiarity, and feel like they don't have to put on a face.

Simple answer: buyer's remorse. These twats, mods, included and the idiot who paid 6000 dollars for a psyduck ripoff to be in game. There are shameless whales that spend thousands on blizzard shit, neopets and whatever because snowflakes love their sparkle dogs fart even more glitter. That and building a asspatting community that turns akin to ResetEra and LGBGTSCP communities with inclusivity.

Nevermind the mechanics that TemTem is a aborted fetus resulted from Digimon Next Order and anything past Gen 2 with IV/EV implementation, such original mechanics.

Never forget Bulbapedo incident, autism, pedophilia, neckbeard and degeneracy galore. It's guaranteed when hypersexual furries are involved
