Coromon

Ni idea si innova más que Pokimon porque hace mucho que no los juego, pero tiene cosas interesantes, los retos para desbloquear skins son un puntazo, además es rejugable, el juego te propone pasártelo en diferentes modos de dificultad y modos de juego personalizables.

A really solid Pokemon alternative. The short is that it has some flaws but excels in most areas. Highly recommended for those that are sick of the slop that Nintendo has been putting out. I'll start with how the game looks. It's a great mix of GBA and DS Gen 5 Pokemon. The animations and backgrounds are well done, and the animated sprites are straight out of Gen 5. The various designs are good. Compared to Nexomon, these are a bit more grounded and less wacky overall. I'll say that certain mons are a lil samey, but this game doesn't have the army of artists and feedback that Pokemon designs have. The look of the overworld is straight out of GBA Pokemon. Dynamic and vibrant sprites galore. NPCs look ok. Nothing special. The ways you can customize your character are numerous, which is nice. Lots of accessories to collect. The core gameplay loop, if I have to compare it to Pokemon, is the closest to Sun and Moon/Ultra Sun and Moon. Instead of having gym leaders or something equal to that, you go around the overworld catching mons and fighting trainers like usual, but with the big goal being encountering and defeating titans. Powerful elementals that act as interesting boss fights. Instead of the totem Pokemon in Alola, which felt extremely cheap when fighting them, the titans here are big health bars that summon weather, use entry hazards, etc. It's essentially like fighting a full team in terms of how much health you have to chew through. Much more interesting than one weirdly balanced totem mon that either one shots your entire team or gets obliterated because you incidentally have the perfect counter. There's a mechanic that I love in this game: potential. Every mon has a number, up to 21. 1-16 is normal, 17-20 is potent, and 21 is perfect. Normal have the standard color, potent have an alternate color, and perfect have another different color. You can give a mon to an NPC in the game that will give it +1 potential. Giving +1 to a mon with 20 will make it perfect. Yes, these are like shinies. The encounter rates are much higher than shiny Pokemon, and these have a gameplay impact. The higher the number a mon has, the faster a separate blue exp bar fills up. This bar, when filled up, grants you 3 potential points that you can manually assign to any stat (with some cap limitations depending on level). A perfect mon will max this bar much faster, allotting many more stat points for the endgame. Around 1/4 to 1/3 of my playtime was spent farming for perfects. This is the best part of the game. The overworld is linear, which I normally heavily dislike in the mainlike Pokemon games. Ever since Unova, each region became a circle, a straight line, or a combination of the two. This overworld goes like this: area 1 to area 2, then to area 3, etc. There's stuff to find in each area, but there aren't entire side areas here. Each area has its own theme, which covers each type in the game, so to speak. Electric, ghost, sand, fire, ice, and water. Each area has most of the mons matching the type, and has some kind of puzzle unique to each area (kinda). Which leads me to a bit of a rant. The puzzles in this game range from good to awful. One of the first puzzles in the game requires you to match 4 plugs in the perfect socket. If you confirm the wrong combination enough times, the correct combination will change. In addition, the NPC controlling the puzzle will mess with you and the puzzle. In theory, it sounds good, but in execution, it is awful. Other puzzles are much better. Some might not consider this one a puzzle, but at some point, you are forced to fight a copy of your current team. Same level, same stats, same everything. Good "puzzle". There's another fight that asks you to catch 3 mons in the wild, and then battle a trainer with a slight advantage over you. No time to train or teach the mons new moves. Just a raw fight. That "puzzle" was also really good. The other puzzles in the game aren't as good, but depending on your tastes and experiences, you might endure. The overall balance of the game is a mixed bag. On one hand, the low amount of types theoretically tightens the balance. On another hand, there are sub types that are exclusive to moves. Types like foul, poison, air and magic are only on moves, which can make some mons wayyyy better than others if they can learn said moves. There's another type, which I won't talk about much since spoilers for the story, but it is just better. Think of a type that resists everything and has other unique benefits. I'm torn on it, since it's fun to use as the player, but is annoying to fight against, since you essentially do half damage to anything with that type. Mons have a big selection of traits (abilities) that have tons of effects. Thankfully, there's an NPC that can change traits for you. Yes, you can pick the new trait. It isn't random. If it was, whew that would suck. Traits range from summoning weather, to weather immunity, to taking less damage when at full health, to dealing more damage with a certain skill type, to being immune to certain status problems. There's a lot, and each mon has 3-5 traits ish. My favorite is one where a mon can do an out of battle party heal, which has a cooldown that ticks down while in battle and in the overworld. Stuff like that is much more complex than Pokemon. Held items are also really good, and there's even one that can upgrade your trait. The general recommendation I make is: get it if you like Pokemon but are sick of the newer slop, and don't get it if you're still really like newer Pokemon games. I think this is for those who like everything from 9/10+ years ago in that series. Those who want something similar, better and new. The puzzles can be annoying but the core experience is really good.
