and whats the point? probably for people over 30 yo pokemon blue, red, green, yellow are far better than the 3d versions. The real ones.

its just annoying to see again a 2d clone when nobody try to do a 3d monster capture game
i do not say it is bad but just uninspired

Calling it a clone is disingenuous as I'd argue the original pokemon games, even red/blue, have way more content than this.

Jokes on you bud. This game's has features that Pokemon has needed for years. it's got Adjustable difficulty, stock nuzlock and randomizer modes, removal of bad outdated features like IVs/EVs and move deleter/relearner. For those of us who are sick of Gamefreak releasing the same game every few years with a new coat of paint on it Coromon is a dream come true. This game is WAY nicer to play than pokemon has been for the last 10 years.

I love both modern pokemon (Sun is one of my favorite games ever, I also love X and even Let's Go Eevee) and also Coromon. They don't have to be mutually exclusive.

It is a Pokemon clone, let's be honest...

However, like previously mentioned, it also fixes a LOT of pokemon problems. IV/EV isn't nearly as tedious and annoying, and is also a lot easier to understand.

It also includes a lot of features that cater to the pokemon community, nuzlock options for example.

No, it doesn't do a lot to really change the pokemon formula, but it does streamline it while also adding in some pretty significant options. Will it replace pokemon? Absolutely not, but it's still a good clone.

Making highly detailed 2D sprites like Coromon uses for its battles is actually a lot more work than 3D models.

My biggest issue with the game is RNG. Everything bad about RNG in pokemon is here, dodging, accuracy loss even, paralysis...

This is the argument when there's a lot of different animations, since each one needs to be drawn out with different frames (assuming a modular sprite approach wasn't used).

Coromon doesn't seem to have particularly animated monster sprites though. As in, they don't lunge, swipe, flinch, etc. depending on what's happening to them or what they're doing. Thus, the only animation really needed is animating their idle animation (since animating attacks is separate from the monsters themselves), which is a lot less work than trying to animate a variety of different motions for each monster.

To be clear: There's nothing particularly wrong with this when trying to make a game inspired by Pokemon. Really old Pokemon games had literally no animation on the monsters themselves, and even now in 3D, the animations they have on each of the monsters are fairly simplistic and generic. It's just that the argument about how much work goes into sprite animation isn't really a particularly good argument when there isn't a lot of animations for said sprites.

in these cases, the work comes from the huge number of sprites that have to be made due to the huge number of monsters, but by the same token, in 3D you have to model all of the monsters as well.

I personally think a 2D clone is a better concept than a 3D one. Because pixel art usually beats 3D models in terms of timelessness and aesetics. Like, too me personally, Diamond and Pearl looked fantastic for games compared to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

Temtem was 3D and definitely not my cup of tea. I personally think Coromon looks better.

Dude you must be bored to go out of your way and post this nonsense when games like Temtem are out there, let people play whatever they enjoy, what is wrong with you?

This reaction is a big reason we don't get many monster taming games in the west.
Monster taming is just a genre, there are many games in this genre released in the asian market.
Because of the popularity of pokemon in the western market, and the fact that we are concidered as close minded when it comes to games, we don't get them.
The "It's just another pokemon" mentality is actively stopping monster taming games from being released in the west.
