    Dude, because of you I got Nexomon 1 and 2, Coromon, Casette Beasts and Monster Sanctuary! I feel so dumb for only playing Pokémon for so long when there are so many other cool monster taming games. So thank you for your channel existing! :)

      yes! he begins with a banger! or bangers! i play it now on the switch
      the correct count of the 2 nexomon games, is 737 nexomon
      moon stone island comes to nintendo switch as well but digital for now. spring 2024.
      temtem? they will remove the battle pass.
      coromon is awesome developed by dutch men.
      siralim ultimate is on the switch also and has a lot and i mean a lot of content.
      casette beasts i never buyed, time to go for that.
      azure laine is cool! and if they do an rpg its great! and about the gocha mechanic? its free in that game. so i hope that i will come on the switch also

    My wife has been an adamant Pokémon only gamer since she was a kid. I finally convinced her to try out Nexomon 1 and 2 by "accidentally" downloading it in her switch, and now it's impossible to get her to put her switch down! Needless to say, she's no longer just an exclusive Pokémon trainer, lol.

    Also some notable upcoming mentions:
    Monstronomy (Releasing April 18th), Home of the Yokai, Creatures of Ava, Fae & Fauna, Fera Knight and Genkai Primal Awakening

    I liked TemTem, but I got annoyed with the fact that on switch I have to play online with subscription. It's like a waste of my money to HAVE to do the online payment if I'm only playing ONE game and don't even use the online features for it.
    So, I haven't even finished the storyline since I stopped playing a year ago 🤷‍♀️
    Lesson learned, I'm not getting another creature collector game that forces me to use online mode when I just wanna have a good single player experience.

    • @faimynth6030

      Honestly I feel your pain my problem isn't that I don't want to pay for online
      I have online for several games it's not that big of a purchase for me
      The problem for me is that Nintendo's online. Sucks. Blatantly so it always has.
      And forcing a game to be connected to online 24/7 in order to play means you're constantly disconnecting and losing progress because of Nintendo's crappy service
      Tem tem desperately needs an offline mode

    I grew up playing pokemon but also play a lot of indie games
    My favorite genre of indie games is monster catchers but it really seems like no monster catcher has been wble to catch the charm that i really love about pokemon
    Most monster catcher games fixate hard on the monsters themselves with some kind of gimmick (farming is what i see most of the time which i do love but it seems like either the farming mechanic sucks or the monster catching sucks)
    But the thing i always liked about pokemon was their stories. I dont just want to mindlessly fight i want to hear the story and lore or this world about these monsters. I want to know the people who live along side these monsters... And yes i really really adore any game with a scary villain which is sooo difficult to find in monster catcher games it feels.

    New to the genre. What monster tamer would you recommend? For context, the only one I played briefly was Temtem. I turned away from this genre because I didn't like the stamina system (why can't monsters rest out of combat?), the slow progression (maybe because it was an MMO), and the art style that felt like a rainbow threw up on my screen. All in all, Temtem was a bad experience. Is there a monster tamer on Steam where I get to summon some actual badass monsters instead of weird, bubbly squirrels? Thx!

    Coromon is absolutely amazing. Idk why but it has the exact art style I love and want in a game, it's just so visually pleasing. And the mechanics are perfect, the shiny system is very fun, the option to not evolve coromon and still keep them strong is fantastic, and overall battle mechanics are so fun. 10/10 we need more like this

    I've played pokemon since the beginning and I loved it. But it's gotten stale since the last 2-3 releases.... So, TemTem, Palworld, and others are inspirations for a new look into the monster collecting games. One day I hope DokeV comes out too.
    Until then, the items off this least I liked were: Nexomon, Kindred Fates (a must have!), Coromon, and Cassette Beasts. All look great!
