Its like they took the absolute fucking worst parts of Pokemon and made a game about it, and somehow somebody thought this was a good idea? The only good thing about current Pokemon is really just the unmatched monster designs. No other series has come even remotely close to making monster designs as visually pleasing as Pokemon and very importantly, as creative as Pokemon where you typically have two themes brilliantly meshed together in a way that feels smooth. Temtem fails to realize that this is what makes Pokemon so great and instead takes the absolute WORST part of Pokemon and wears it with pride which is its incredibly outdated gameplay.
Turn based gameplay, and especially rock paper scissors styled turn based gameplay will ALWAYS be worse than practically anything else out there at keeping players engaged. This is even worse for multiplayer as it gets really stale really quickly. They have zero creativity on the design side, all temtem are simple animals with either zero themes, or they are a simple "le ebin grass deer with leafs around it"
