I've lost any emotion for new games of this franchise since, like, last 20 years

Coromon is a pretty good indie if you liked the old GBA games. Temtem is one I had fun with in the 3d space.

Cassette Beasts is another great one.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

Love the vibes on that one. But I couldn't beat it.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

TemTem is going to, or already has, announced the servers for the game were going offline, but that you could still play single player. A noble move when big companies are just shuttering their servers and leaving their games unplayable.

Second coromon! Its my favorite monster catcher besides Pokémon. Nexomon doesn't take itself seriously and is a nice filler for Pokémon as well.

[–] silverchase@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Also check out Cassette Beasts and Beastieball!

The only alternatives I‘ve played were Nexomon and TemTem, and Nexomon‘s grind sucked the life outta me, especially when they pulled a „oh nonono, this new region has different levels you have to grind from 0!“

TemTem was pretty fun in co-op though… even though I had to play with a VPN for the first time in my entire life cause somehow players wouldn‘t move on my screen with my „raw“ connection. No game has ever done this before nor has any game acted like this since lol, completely weird.

Nice! Glad I'm not the only one.

My wife played through nexomon! She liked it but the visual style wasn't my thing. But it did look fun.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mine went away when they discovered like 400 new pokemon and still told me I gotta catch em all.

No mate.

150 (151 actually omg you didnt even know that what kind of fan are you you didnt even...) was plenty. Took me fucking ages to get them all. Im not going through that shit again.

[–] Nelots@piefed.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Idk, I completed both Gen I and II fully, getting all 151 (plus MissingNo.) and 251 Pokemon respectively in those games, and it wasn't that bad. If you're just doing the regional pokedex each game I'd probably find it fun because I like collecting things.

Trying to complete the national pokedex in later games sounds miserable though. 1,000+ Pokemon in one game?? No thanks. But I'm fairly certain you can't even complete the national pokedex anymore because many older Pokemon just aren't in the newer games.
