Edit: There's also ♥♥♥♥ like...
You don't learn "surf" but you get a surfBOARD.
You don't use TM/HM, you use TC or whatever they're called in this.
It's not a POKECENTER, it's a TEMCENTER.
It's not a pokeBALL, it's a temcard!

Seriously, like I know people are going to defend this game as not a copy of Pokemon with tooth and nail but EVERY mechanic in the game is taken directly from pokemon. There are other monster collecting games, and they don't use these mechanics, Pokemon does.

Yet its has his own mechanics and stuff making it different from pokemon, its like we cant use the
same good ideas from others !?

I'll be honest, not like trying to be a ♥♥♥♥ but...
What mechanics does this game have that are unique to Temtem and not taken from Pokemon?

Stamina/hold/synergy system are the most noticieable ones.

Oh yeah the stamina system.

They should be sued for bait and switch if anything. They sold us the Alpha client. Most of the game is missing or doesnt work, in fact, features like chat were removed. (probably so we cant tell new players that the game is a scam.

[Tol'kaed]

Bah, there is no such thing as an original idea anymore. It's just variations and different takes on an older idea. Pokemon, digimon, yokai watch, temtem, and various facebook games are all just different takes on the monster collecting genre. Personally i'm just looking forward to how Temtem does due to the possibility of getting expansions once finished. Of course, i still haven't gotten very far in the story so i'm not sure how open ended or finite the game's story is.

whatever you say

ive showed it to ppl and they immediately say its pokemon

Sounds like those people might not actually know much about Pokemon.

[Nea the prostitute]

I mean, I love Temtem, but u can´t deny that they copied very much. The even copied EV´s and DV`s ^^

[Efreet]

Guys you can't copyright generic game mechanics, you only get sued for reusing art assets, actual code or names.

And Pokemon "copied" all those from other JRPGs.
Surfing=boats/airships
TM/HM=scrolls/books
Pokecenter=inn
Pokeball=bait/trap

The only thing that's really original about the series is how they spun it, you fight from the monster's perspective rather than the protagonist's.

That's the problem with the whole "x copied y" argument, video games are a derivative medium, everything takes inspiration or "copies" from another. So are movies, anime, and even comedy. Its not a bad thing, just the opposite that's literally why public domain exists, but people tend to make it out like every derived work is like a counterfeit Rolex.

And of course with the state copyright is in its neigh impossible for modern creations to reach public domain anymore, leaving copycat games as the only alternative for playing with these ideas.

Because there's no copyright infringement and you can't copyright a genre.

[Gremmy]

You and everyone who thinks like you need to learn something. Pokemon isn't original. There are other monster catching games like digimon, jade cocoon, shin megami tensei and a lot more. If you compare this game to pokemon it only has 4 similarities. 1) Gyms, 2) evolutions, 3) levels, and 4) 4 usable skills at a time per temtem.

If you explore temtem and pay close attention you'd see MANY differences between this and pokemon.

Off the top o my head ;

- The ability to change skills at will out of combat.
- Certain skills combo'ing off of the partner temtem in battle
- The ability to pick which stats get given to the bred temtem.
- All battles are 2v2
- There's a mana system instead of a PP system
- Certain skills have 1 or 2 or even 3 turn cooldowns.
- Certain skills have the ability to reduce active skill cooldowns
- Certain skills have the ability to regen a temtems mana
- You CAN be under more than 1 status at a time

Overall temtem has made huge changes to pokemons combat system as well as the level of difficulty and requires a higher level of thinking than pokemon does. Temtem is not a pokemon rip off or a clone in any way. It's it's own game in it's own right. You just need to get farther into the game to notice all the differences between the 2 games.

Hope this cleared up any misunderstandings about this being very similar to pokemon.

god i loved jade cocoon. wished you could breed temtems and get something completely different/new temtem but traits from their parents.

but i guess thats just wishful thinking.
