This is what an open-world pokemon game should have been. Not the buggy disappointing mess GameFreak gave us for 2 generations.

    Same question.

    People rave so hard about any pokemon clone regardless of quality that it’s really hard to figure out which ones are actually fun.

      Having tried it, there seems to be a lot of thought put into it from having the pals help grow crops to being a flamethrower in battle.

      It’s very much a smoother Pixelmon experience (pokemon Minecraft mod).

      Feels like ark but possibly more polished? Hard to say since it’s in early access.

          Easily. My computer runs it on default graphics at 60fps without weird artifacts. The things I use and build work.

        So, not really what I’m interested in. It’s definitely not “what an open world Pokemon should have been” without the core turn based combat that defines Pokemon games.

        It does kind of look like it has potential despite not enjoying survival games, but it’s weird to be calling it Pokemon when it doesn’t have the mechanics and the similarity looks like just the fact that you have little monster friends.
