The Pokemon killer is almost here.>347 monsters>every single design is better than post-Gen 5 Pokemonhttps://wiki.biligame.com/rocom/%E7%B2%BE%E7%81%B5%E5%9B%BE%E9%89%B4
>not a single monster that can be used for memes and pornThe game will flop if it's brought outside China.
https://rocowiki.com/spirits/a lot of these look pretty cute/cool, i'll look out for it
>>738139120i like the casual admission here that tendies only buy pokeslop for the memes and porn, and not because the games are any good
I think too many of the designs are generic and boring. It has a lack of funny monsters, too many look cute or cool. There needs to be more gross, weird, and stupid-looking ones to add personality and make the marketable ones look more marketable. Also, it seems like a lot of the 3-stage evolutions have redundant middle stages. Like they were made as 2-stage evos initially, but then were turned into 3 stages and edited one of them for that middle stage.>>738142025Doesn't this have the same gameplay pokemon has? That doesn't bode well.
>>738142025I mean yeahWhy do you think palworld was the only successful clone?because it aped the style the closestpokemon fans will say "just make something that looks different and original and it'll stand out :)" but in reality they want the exact same breed of fuckable animals
>>738138385You know what? I don't hate those designs.I do think something like 1/3 of the humanoid ones would be better off otherwise but whatever.
>>738142025I was referring to normalfags tho. They only care about the bits that help them trend online (memes, porn and stupid opinions that cause outrage) and rarely play the games.Tendies on the other side buy pokeslop just because it has "pokemon" in its name.>>738142715>Doesn't this have the same gameplay pokemon has?From what I saw on gameplay videos, the combat is turn-based like the mainline games, while everything else is open world like in Legends and BotW/Genshin, just without gacha and breakable tools.
>>738142715it has the same gameplay as legends arceus, which is the only good pokemon gamethe visual quality and effort put into everything is a bonusi do hope future monsters they add through updates and stuff are more varied thoughsome of them are ok/great like the skeleton dragon or dodo or griffin, but i see a lot of bloby looking things that seem like dex filler>>738143882the thing is, this franchise is like the pokemon of chinaso, they probably have memes and porn we aren't even aware ofthe fact it made $58m in just a month and it being china exclusive for now is an incredible feat
I don't hate the designs but this is clearly mobileslop with phone home or you don't get to play shit so it's garbage.
>>738144079>mobileslopPlease tell me it ain't.
>>738143882>the combat is turn-based like the mainline games, while everything else is open world like in Legends and BotW/Genshin, just without gacha and breakable toolsi like thispokemon's turn based isn't a problem, it has it's own appealthe other stuff like features/gameplay mechanics from legends and botw are definitely a step up from mainline pokemoni wonder how this'll fare against gen 10 pokemonthat one looks promising as well, but i hate that pseudo-realism artstylethis not being a gacha and also not having any breakable stuff that's super annoying are good decisions as well>>738144134it's on pcs as wellthat's where most of the revenue came from, although it does look good and run well on phones as well
>>738144134It's a phone game. It runs on pcs but that's not exactly a perk for these games nor a feat.
>>738144296>>738144425Damn it.Well, thank you for the info anons.
>>738144296>i wonder how this'll fare against gen 10 pokemonGraphically it'll look better because GameFreak can't program for shit. You can find wild rocomon wandering everywhere in a natural way, while in SV and LA pokemon and even parts of the scenery would suddenly pop-up like in a cheap PS1 game. RK is also a MMO, which is technically more impressive than Pokemon's multiplayer.Regarding monster designs, GameFreak has descended to a level where their creatures look generic as fuck like the monsters of old chinkshit pokemon clones. In fact, the angry bird starter resembles one of Roco Kingdom's monsters (the angry duck). RK's designs aren't very impressive either. Most of them are shapeless blobs, and I spotted a couple that are straight up copies of some pokemon.
>>738144950gens 8 and 9 had mostly dogshit designs, and i don't particularly like these startersthe character design in pokemon is also becoming borderline DEI like western games
>>738138385I hope the game doesn't offer you sidequests that last way too long only to give you terrible rewardsThat crap made me drop Temtem and scared me away from monster tamer games as a whole
>>738146175How is that a monster tamer exclusive issue?
>>738139120>not a single monster that can be used for memes and pornWhat are you talking about I'd fuck plenty of these
>>738146353In most RPGs sidequests often showcase characters or the worldbuildingIn Temtem the writing and overall presentation was so bad, only a good reward could make up for wasting so much of the player's time Temtem being the most successful turn based monster tamer makes me worry devs are copying their formula
All I want is a new MON ip that don't look or play like FUCKING POKEMON.That's too much to ask?
>>738147426How should it play? Like Astral Chains?
>>738146545Post them. Those designs are too round and squishy for my taste.
>>738146668Okay, but about the monster games made before Tem Tem, like Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2? Or other Japanese shit like Yo-kai Watch. I also doubt Tem Tem's influence in general. Or that even if it was that influential, people would copy that part specifically. For me, that kind of shit is minutable enough where even if you tried to ape something really hard, unless you're excessively anal about it, you wouldn't get it 1-1. Because it's one of those little things where even if it's important, people don't really care about it.I would need to play like 3-5 games with that problem to build that specific of a stereotype in my head.
>>738147426https://store.steampowered.com/app/3440740/Disc_Creatures_WORLD/https://store.steampowered.com/app/3157170/Data_Fantasy/Is this good? I can add a couple more, but they're all PS1 old. Is new to you acceptable?
Give dragon dance
>>738139120I'd fuck the hell out of the 4chan bunny.Honestly there is quite a bit of variety of plapmeat in there, I will make a waifumon team.
>>738147475SMT, DQM, Yokai watch, monster rancher, digimon.There is fuckload of things to take inspiratio or just rip off. Even sonic adventure chao garden would be a good spin.
>>738147480I like a lot of them but the line of birds with fuck-me eyes does it for me
Ok but like, when is it coming out and is it even coming out of china or korea or whatever?
>>738138385I think this could be a really good monster tamer game. Obviously not going to overthrow pokemon, but still an actual good monster tamer game and not just a lame attempt at trying to get at pokemon by focusing on things that don't matter, like how temtem did with its competitive focus.I can totally see the hype for this becoming just as big as pokemon. With every update, they'll announce new regions and new mons, and that alone is way more exciting than live service gacha games.And this being completely free and having zero gacha monetization, it's already free from most controversies.It also has multiplayer co-op focus like recent pokemon games, so that's a plus.Also, looks umbreon has some competition.
>>738147426>All I want is a new MON ip that don't play like FUCKING POKEMON.Fucking this. I can't even play this basic bitch turnbased shit anymore.If there was a turn-line like trails, that would be fucking cool
>>738147426Palworld did and it mindbroke nintendo and pokedrones even to this day.
>literally a human girl with a plush rabbit
it's sovlful
>>738147491I guess my 20+ hours bad experience with Temtem caused me to become irrationalThanks for making things more clear
>>738146668I liked temtem...
>>738148941The monsters are mostly good and the battles are fun if not a bit too longDon't let me hating on parts I hated invalidate your enjoyment
>>738148448It must be some kind of fairy or elemental spirit, humans don't look like that,
>>738138385Most of the designs look good. A few had me looking at them a bit strange, where it's pretty clear they took direct inspiration from Pokemon for probably no reason. Sure, you could make a bunch of (in my opinion) irrelevant comparisons, but then there's stuff like the Water/Flying manta ray and the Grass/Fighting horse which look like a completely irrelevant combination, until you realize there's a pokemon which is exactly that same idea.Also, if I wanted to play a monster-collecting mobile gacha game where I could evolve my not-Pokemon, I'm not sure why I wouldn't just play Puzzles & Dragons instead.
>>738149391Roco Kingdom brutally mogs in both cases.
>>738149391you typed a lot of words for it to be just a midwit complain
>>738147891>I'd fuck the hell out of the 4chan bunnyHe's a greedy jew that is selling your data to isntreal. Do NOT fuck that bnuuy.
>>738148448>literally a human>>738138385>elemental typingyawn. The fastest way to know if a RPG has uninteresting gameplay. Also types always make a bestiary look worse just for the sake of recognition, that's why Dragon Quest's bestiary will always mog Pokemon and it's clones, because a monster that uses electricity spells doesn't need to have yellow fur and fully covered with lightning bolt symbols
>>738147426>>738148246Critterrupters has a timeline and interrupting turns.
>>738138385>Plaggio di Plaggio
>>738150614See this is what I'm talking about. This looks a ton more engaging to play, even if the creatures aren't nearly as good as pokemon or OP's game
>>738150298It doesnt have to be yellow but its just to make it easier to know which element each is from looking at it.Fire is red, water is blue etc
>>738150298>a monster that uses electricity spells doesn't need to have yellow fur and fully covered with lightning bolt symbolsOnly true if said monster is a machine, because electricity is implied, otherwise it absolutely needs lightning as part of it's design. Maybe not only yellow but also blue, white or purple.
>>738138385
>evolutionsInto the trash it goes.
>>738154571glad someone else says it. What you'll see 95% of your playtime is that 347 divided by 3, and you're lucky if the remaining species are all equally useful
>>738153892lol
>>738138385Isn't this the game that got censored? During the playtest people were stripping down the MC to her panties so the devs removed the ability to take off clothes.
>>738153892These (and their pre-evolutions) are all the ones that I would plap.
