As Temtem and the latest new generation Pokémon Sword and Shield competing in the same game genre, how do the two compare? Fans can see that the pokemon franchise heavily inspires Temtembut Temtem also does enough different to make it stand out. This helps prevent Temtem to fall into the trouble that other monster catching games do, where they are labeled as nothing more than pokemon clone. There is still a chance that some players will mark Temtem as one anyway, but the debate would favor the side claiming it as its own game simply taking inspiration from the hit series.
Temtem is captivating on PS5 and all its other platforms, sending its players on a journey around its fantastic Airborne archipelago with the goal of becoming a Tem Master. Along the way, players must face the Dojo leaders and thwart the plans of the evil Clan Belseto. Temtem is home to 161 different Tems to catch across 12 species, two of which are unique to the game. Pokémon Sword and Shield lets players explore the eighth region of Galar, filled with new battles and Pokémon. Galar also has its problems, as the troublesome Team Yell and strange power fluctuations spread across the region. So it’s up to the player to help solve the chaos in Galar.
At first glance, both games look similar, which is understandable. To a certain extent, Temtem tried to take the best aspects of pokemon and add its own unique twists. This gave Temtem players the fun feeling of a pokemon game while being an MMO that sold over 500,000 copies in its first month, a genre that offers new ways to spice up the game. When comparing the creatures to catch, the story, gameplay, breeding and quality of life changes, Temtem stands out as a competitor of Pokémon Sword and Shield.
Temtem vs. Pokémon: which one has the better creatures
Perhaps the most crucial part of both games, how the creatures players stack up becomes priceless. This gets tricky as both franchises have attractive, unique, and well-designed creatures. pokemon has a lot more to compete with, but Temtem stands out for its aesthetics and creativity. Developer Crema also got a lot of cheers from fans for allowing fan inspiration to reach the final game, something pokemon fans with their compelling designs have been asking for. 10 out of 12 species in Temtem are essentially the same as in Pokémon, so variety is something Temtem does not win. All in all, TemtemThanks to the unique art design, attractive creatures have been able to catch that, while they don’t match pokemon by numbers, fans have drawn to the game.
The rushed story of Sword & Shield is still more than that of Temtem
Despite all the controversy surrounding Pokémon Sword and Shieldit’s still true Temtem. This is not because Temtem‘s story sucks – it’s quite comical and has more mature twists than most pokemon stories – but instead that the story of Temtem takes a very obvious backseat to everything else developer Crema wanted to show. TemtemIn the game’s story, players rush to each dojo and then into battle against Clan Belsoto. However, most of the characters come across as one-dimensional and the story lacks any interest for players beyond a few moments. Pokémon Sword and Shield falters at the end, but still gives players a crafted and well-paced story, along with a terrifying pokemon villain in Chairman Rose and characters who have become fan favorites for many of the community. A story can often be a bonus for games that capture creatures, such as: Temtem did fine without much of one but comparing the two it would be unfair to say Temtem even comes close Pokémon Sword and Shield.
Temtem upgrade Pokémon Double Battles and win with it
All battles in Temtem are double battles, in which synergy and mutual support are central. Type perks still have value and are the primary way to take out an enemy team, but often enough they won’t take a single shot, allowing for counterplay in combat. Some moves also gain a bonus effect such as extra damage or guaranteed status condition when used with a Temtem of a specific type. For example, the Toxic Plume move costs less stamina and causes an Attack debuff on enemies when used alongside a Crystal-type Temtem.
Held items are also in tame, but they are usually simple or relatively similar to held and healing items in pokemon. In general, a player’s choice will depend on their preferences, while: pokemon will often, but not always, focus on brute force and type advantage, Temtem adds another level of strategy and makes players think about each step of the battle.
Temtem makes endgame breeding so much easier
One of the toughest parts of pokemonBreeding is the perfect one, especially for those who want to play competitively. It often takes a lot of luck to get that perfect egg, even with the items that allow for a guaranteed transfer. What Temtem to alleviate this is the inclusion of items in possession that guarantee a transfer of two stats. This speeds up breeding yet leaves enough to chance that getting that perfect egg feels like an achievement. To balance this out, each Temtem has a fertility counter, an amount of time ranging from one to eight that tells players how many eggs they can still produce. So while Temtem wants players to have to work for their perfect team, unlike pokemon‘s more luck-based breeding methods and tools, it still reduces the amount of luck needed and speeds up the process.
Temtem offers many of the changes pokemon fans have wanted, but lack that extra sparkle and budget that Nintendo can bring. That hasn’t stopped though Temtem as it remains a popular and profitable game for developer Crema, who plans to continue supporting the game. Temtem recently saw its official 1.0 release which added even more endgame features for players, and the advantage of being an MMO game is that players don’t have to let go of old teams. It will be hard for Temtem to compete with a huge franchise like pokemonbut its current success bodes well for a game that offers fans something new from the monster-catching genre.
