Temtem First Impressions - This Game Feels Better Than Pokemon 

We will 100% be doing more coverage on Temtem when it launches. Absolutely loving how it feels already. If you haven't joined us on our Discord community already, make sure to do so! We post all updates and organize community get togethers whenever possible. Thanks for stopping by everyone and subscribe if you liked it!

Remember people: This was a stress test. The fact that he got to play at all is really extraordinary. This is NOT Early Access. So not a up to par representation of the current state of the game. It is mostly meant to break the servers. He was just really lucky.

One of the things I'm most hyped about this game coming out tho, is that Nintendo might actually be pressured into... making an innovative pokemon game? And jesus, yeah, people might have gone a bit too hard on Sw/Sh graphics... But compare them to Temtem? And it's not like the Switch can't handle better graphics... (A tiny nitpick I also have is... why can't you have a pokemon follow you in this one? Not like it would've been a ton of extra work ?_?) Plus the goddamn price of pokemon ._. gimme a break...

i think we could do some sort of guild pvp by having empty gyms for people to take over/fight/compete over

Why so many ppl meaning "MMO" is all about Raid big Groups etc.... MMO mean Massive Multiplayer Online Game.... You can See, Trade, Duel and Coop with tousends of Player and this is by definition a MMO. You can not Change a Definition of a Word just by your feelings -.-

This game really does look interesting to me. The artstyle reminds me a lot of Slime Rancher. My biggest gripe with the game so far is that, from all the TemTem I've sen so far, I haven't seen a single one that actually looks that appealing to me. None of the designs jump out at me like Pokemon's do. Still, I'm going to give it a shot on the 21st.

"Dynamic PP Meter"...tee hee

A team based estus flask. Hell yes. No rng hell yes, team synergy hell yes. Other players hell yes. Housing hell yes

I really hope they take a look at the character models again because they look really bad apart from maybe sophia. The monster models look great and so do the environment. I think the player models looking like that will be a huge turnoff for a lot of people , when you consider the fact that pokemon Sw/Sh best thing was character customisation.

Galar feels more like an amusement park than a real region

Dynamic pp meter Chilish ik but this is great

This looks great! Another great video Lion! Excited to see more content from you two

What was the game in the background when you mentioned mmo features missing from temtem?

I NEED that Pocus outfit!!

The way you described MMOs with dungeons, raids, etc. might by the case for most MMORPGs, which Temtem would not fall into the RPG aspects being that it's a creature-collection adventure game.

The game looks fun but at the end of the day pokemon has the power of nostalgia

He mentioned dialogue options. Sword and Shield had one toward the end game, 3 options. I selected 1 and apparently it was wrong, so the other character says "nah, doesn't feel right" and essentially forced me to pick the first option. And I'm thinking why even give me options if they're just going to tell me the other 2 are wrong? Lol

not sure what was the last pokemon game you played but the out of battle status effects died off after gen 5 I believe. I know people compare this to pokemon as its competitor, but why not enjoy both??

I'm way excited to play! Things I hope they will add in this game is: 1) Tell us if certain moves are weaker or stronger against a TemTem . Similar to pokemon or even Persona, it'll say a move is weak. 2) character design..... They kinda look flat and uninteresting. The TemTem look awesome! The humans... Need a bit more giving to make them pop out and pleseant to look at. They aren't bad but should change a bit 3) maybe an offline or local mode. Have private rooms (for friends and certain people to join) and maybe the ability to see untamed TemTem in the open.

I've never really gotten into the pokemon craze, but one that's based around an MMO? That sounds fun enough to make me want to dip into it.

Man I never realized how bad I wanted to hear the phrase dynamic pp meter

I'm definitely digging this game and really enjoying it, despite how much of a grind it can be. I think the only thing I don't like is the low variety of Temtem early on. It's not terrible, but it's noticeable.

They claimed to be adding in guilds, trading halls and guild team fights all of which are supposed to be giant community events in the future. As the game is now its still very early access so still so much more to come

Here's a Type Chart I made for the Release day! Hope it helps, good luck tamers! www.reddit.com/r/PlayTemtem/comments/eru24r/temtem_type_advantage_chart_improved/

3:33 "It's essentially a dynamic peepee meter." hehehehe, i'm such a child :D

That character customization screen looks like Mii Fighters in Smash. I'm not the only one seeing this, right?

Is there any mention about cross-play in the future?

What game is in the background when he is talking about MMORPG's

I have to agree with others who have said it. MMO doesn't strictly define a game like an MMORPG does. The two are mutually exclusive to what defines them. Dungeons raids group activities are what define an MMORPG. An MMO stictly by itself which is what the game devs have described the game as is simply massively mutliplayer online which the game is. While there may not be a lot of group activities you can still interact with all of the people in the game.

i really hope pokemon turns out more like temtem in the future

I hope temtem makes it through and doesn't get down because of pokemon somehow still putting it down with copyright, i really like this game and i would love to play it before my life gets harder and i would be forced to quit internet to take care of my pretty boring life, because my expectations for life were i can do anything i would like to do, but in reality i still need to fit in the pre defined shapes to be able to continue living, even though it's not interesting anymore and i would actually prefer to die rather then experiencing a boring normal life

your gripe about it not really being an mmo.. your criteria only really apply to an mmoRPG. this is a monster collecting game that is massively multiplayer.

I just want a pop-up option for me to run away from battle, before I enter said battle. I had to run away 4 times within a span of around 3 blocks of grass and sitting through each initial battle sequence just to spam RUN AWAY was a reaaallll pain in the ass.

I really wished this game had more open areas and bigger buildings. It seems like the spaces are quite small and there always will be a lot of people on the same place on top of each other. It seems even worse by the zoomed in camera at some areas. Otherwise the game looks really great!

Seems interesting!

Nice video!

This game looks p fun! Im def curious...but I wonder if ppl know that a lot of things this game does actually exists in pokemon...with camps healing pokemon and abilities/items creating synergy with pokemon

i don't plan on ever playing this but i hope the game succeeds so that it'll maybe inspire game freak a bit

But can you catch them all?

Dynamic PP metter... best phrase of 2020.

Can i turn off other player characters?

1:28 what game is that

the dynamic PP meter sounds similar to the real life equivalent of the PP meter , when i see an attractive woman i also can only do one move at a time.

Temtem should make a game engine for official Pokemon clones so there's more competitors, forcing Pokemon to improve. And temtem needs to add voice acting, to push Nintendo to do it as well.

How much will it cost?

Removing RNG elements seems to be the thing that's turning me off this the most. Pokemon was almost like a TCG in a way where factoring in many types of % based chances gave it a tonne of depth. That and landing a clutch low chance effect or crit was always satisfying even in solo play. (also its not really competing with Pokemon when its not handheld, and is specifically an mmo)

Temtem just launched today on steam and now the game isnt free to play

Seems interesting...

I really can't get into the designs themselves. The monsters are too damn plush, as in Neopet plush. I dunno, their designs just seem kinda random. Or rather, it's like if they requested an expressionism artist to design monsters for the first time. Will admit that the colors are nice and vibrant, but damn it's everywhere. You might think that's a good thing, but it's a bit of an overload. Speaking of which. That stamina bar? That's just an MP bar.

Am I right to think that Game Freak isn't lazy or anything but they just don't know how to make a good game? I mean, what have they done since they started Pokemon? They're just doing more of the same game with little to no change every time. The only other thing they released is Little Town Hero, and, as we all know, it's a really bad game. And I'm talking about higher ups, creatives and producers. Not the devs, I'm sure the devs working there are really talented people full of great ideas, limited by uninspired creatives stuck in an era and greedy production who think more about the money that it'll make than the quality they should put into it. But eh, who am I to judge that, Sword and Shield are the best selling Pokemon games to date...in the end, it's not the critics score that matters, it's the amount of cash they get. The thing is, they could put another year of work in their game, spending a lot more money and releasing an awesome game, but in the end, they won't sell more of it. They won't make more money. So they have no reason to. Temtem won't be a wake up call for Pokemon sadly because Temtem will never sell as much. Anyway, I skipped Sword and Shield in anticipation for this game, and seeing all the early impressions of it, I am really glad I did so.

If this game adds raids, dungeon's, dailys, and more temtem, then this game will make Pokemon it's bitch

Honestly 90 percent of this games success will depend on monster design something gamefreak excelled at. Pokémon also has legendaries that they hype up pretty well. Unique abilities and moves. It's pretty early to say this game is better than Pokémon, most people are just cashing on the gamefreak hate train. Also anime did play a huge part in Pokémon success, iconic Pokémon like charizard, blastoise sucked hard in the game people still played them just cause of the anime fights those Pokémon had

tnx

Great review, thanks! 😊

Anyone worried that pokemon secretly owns tem tem? If it flops or just underperforms thats great for pokemon and scares away potential competitors from breakinf in to the market. It wants that monopoly so it might as well create its own competition

MMO = an online video game which can be played by a very large number of people simultaneously.

Why is it called TEmTEm? Its sounds like a Chinese game. Is it ?

Um, your wrong about something. You said your "skeptical about this game being an mmo" and then you proceeded to describe an MMORPG. This game is in fact an mmo. There's no question. It has traits of an MMORPG but it is definitely an mmo.

Lickle strum

If GF actually made something out of those hundreds of of millions of dollars they get every year, maybe we'd have something like that already. It's too late now, TemTem is gonna take over with proper marketing.

I myself don’t really like TemTem. But I do respect the animation and work they put into this game.

Pokemon does have better character design. Thats why they keep coming out with waifu after waifu after waifu. But thats really about it. Im sticking with yokai watch and TemTem

6:00 Come on, what was that jab. That seemed so passive aggressive for no reason.

this game felt better than pokemon then i tried pokemonmmo platinum and i was like noope temtem is legit dogshit tier

Skipped Sword and Shield purely on the basis of how lazy and disinterested Game Freak have evidently become with their own cash-cow franchise. It looks like this one's going to be that breath of fresh air a good lot of us were hoping for!

hell ye

Game is waybetter than pokemon

Is the default walking speed running, or does everyone just......*Sigh* run everywhere and not take in anything they are doing?

How does this cash grab can feel like legendary Pokémon

Imagine they make a mmo that collect girlfriends or wives XD

Why would Nintendo innovate? They can just rehash the same bullshit every year and people pay tons of money for virtually no reason.

this is a ripoff of.... Breath of the Wild!! look at the graphics!!

This isn’t any different from Pokémon. Like how you gonna change PP into stamina and make no other difference from Pokémon. This is just a better looking Pokémon clone but it’s just like the other 100s of Pokémon clones on the App Store. There’s so much more you can do differently, like why stick with the same bland ass turn base combat system. Just another Pokémon clone, what a wasted opportunity to do something new and different.

-10 iq

This looks like a bad Pokemon rip off app you see in an add on RU-vid.

I think this game is being overhyped a bit: 1. It's designs are all a bit samey 2. Only 1 type of battles exist, double battles 3. It's pay to win. The developpers are already selling shinies and the breeding system is: you can have a temtem lay 8 eggs it's kid max 7 eggs etc... unless you pay us so your temtem can lay more eggs I bet there is way more a lot of people are being turned off by the pronoun thing and the subscription model of the game as well.
