My fiance and I played this game during the server stress tests and right away we both liked it. But the more and more we played it, the more and more we realized we were just playing an uninspired, knock off of something that we actually love to play.
The graphics and style of the game are akin to the Let's Go series. The MMO style is similar to what Pokemon has now in the wild areas in Sword and Shield.
I like that they tried to change up the battle formula, but if someone really wants to spice it up, it needs to be a real time battle like Pokken Tournament.
Sword and Shield, while they didn't take as big of a jump as we all want, did at least begin that process with the Wild area. And considering how their upcoming expansions look, they're going all in on that style.
Now I'm not giving Game Freak a full pass. I expect more from them. But I do think they know what has to be done going forward. Temtem however doesn't really do too much that's new for me to keep playing.
Edit: Also, it being online only is a huge drawback for me. Having every action in the game being server based is ridiculous.
