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.

I think this is more of an Ark/MC clone than a Pokemon clone.

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.

Yeah if you're going for a game that's mostly Pokemon-based, this ain't it.

It's just ARK but pokemon instead of dinosaurs, and you don't lose them when they're killed, and it has some of that botw/genshin exploration/collectability sprinkled in. It's fun, but it's a survival first, mons are one of the gimmicks.

It looks like it's almost ARPG-like combat with the Pals, and the Pals in factory building looks more interesting in terms of base building. There's mention of exploring dungeons, too. I could see giving it a shot down the road.

It looks like it could catch me more than most survival stuff. I'm going to keep an eye on it and see how it evolves. But the traditional survival loop definitely isn't my thing, and all these articles calling it pokemon are super misleading.

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.

As someone who's played my fair share of Ark, I'd definitely say it's more polished than Ark already

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