Pokemon: 10 Most Inspiring Games That You Should Know

If history has taught us anything, it is that imitation and inspiration have always existed. Good as something basic, something is done without malicious intent and other times, bordering on plagiarism. Nintendo has been an expert over the years in creating unique and mythical universes and sagas. One of them is Pokemon. In this article, we bring you the best Pokémon-inspired games of all time. Are you ready for what you are going to see next?

Digimon Survive

We may be talking about the second most internationally recognized saga that is inspired in a quite remarkable way by the universe of Pokémon and Tamagotchi. Although Digimon and Pokémon are two different and diverse worlds and neither copied from the other, it is impossible not to see the similarities between the two. Digimon has had its anime series and also several titles, some of which have come to Nintendo Switch, such as Digimon Survive. Being a hybrid game between a tactical RPG and a visual novel, we will have to face a world full of mysteries and constant dangers. Live the story of Takuma, inspired by the Pokémon saga but with a unique and special essence such as Digimon.

Monster Hunter Stories 2

The Monster Hunter saga has been consolidated over the years, so much so that Capcom decided to explore other areas for the franchise. Monster Hunter Stories is an example of this. In this second part, we will witness a friendship that will mark the fate of the world. Explore landscapes teeming with life and engage in intense RPG-based combat and turn-based strategy. Undoubtedly, other titles are strongly inspired by Pokémon and that in turn mix it with the lore and essence of Monster Hunter.

Nexomon: Extinction

Nexomon: Extinction is a throwback to classic monster-catching games. Inspired by Pokémon right down to its name, we are told a new story full of characters and 300 exclusive creatures. Nexomon tells us a story of extinction and overcoming. The relationship between humans and monsters and much more. Will you restore the balance or lose all hope for the future? Yours is the decision.

Coromon

Turn-based tactical battles, an absorbing story and much more. Coromon is another of the titles inspired by the Pokémon universe that cannot be missing from your list. Play however you want in a world full of mysteries and unique adventures. Train your Coromon, experience spectacular confrontations and solve mythical puzzles.

Beasts Cassette

Probably and so far, this is the most original game of all those on the list, even though it also drinks a bit of Pokémon. New Wirral is a remote island inhabited by strange creatures, nightmares and unique and courageous characters. If you want to find your way back to your home, you will have to explore every corner of this island while you make your way in spectacular combats and we have the power to transform ourselves into monsters thanks to the use of retro cassette tapes. Hence the name of the game. Don’t wait any longer and hit it hard!

Bugsnax 

Perhaps this is the title furthest from the essence of Pokémon, but its aesthetics and style sometimes remind us of the famous Nintendo saga. Bugsnax takes you on a journey to Snack Island, home of the legendary Bugsnax. An explorer will invite us to be part of her investigation of him. We will have to explore the island and face unique mysteries and dangers. Another of the games that have attracted the most attention and that deserves its place on this list.

Monster Crown

No, this is not Monster Hunter, it is Monster Crown, another of the titles that drink from the Pokémon saga. Immerse yourself in a dark world full of monsters and make a pact with them to defeat a young woman in search of power. A premise that is quite striking and that seems to distance itself a bit from the rest of the games on the list. In Monster Crown we will be able to hunt, fight and dominate the most epic monsters the world has ever seen. Will we have what it takes to restore the balance that the Royal Island needs?

Ooblets

Customize your character, farm and live a unique experience. That is Ooblets, where you will spend many hours renovating your farm, as well as getting unique and peculiar creatures. The game on the list is undoubtedly more enjoyable and despite drinking from Pokémon, it also draws from other games like Animal Crossing. In Ooblets, we will have to give our all as designers, show our true potential and help the Flagship City.

Monster Sanctuary

This game takes the prize for the most “different” of the entire list. And it is not for less, since Monster Sanctuary leads us to choose our spectral familiar and follow in the footsteps of our ancestors as Monster Breeders. The Sanctuary will be our base and from where we will embark on an epic adventure, full of powers, friendships and a world in constant change and expansion. A story like so many others, where we will have to learn to improve ourselves to reach our final goal: To be the best there will ever be.

TemTem

And to give the final touch to the article we have TemTem, a unique game with a strong online and multiplayer component. Temtem is a great experience that has its central core in the collection and capture of various creatures that dwell in the fascinating and unique Aerial Archipelago. You will have to get hold of them all, explore the vast world, decorate your own house and join endless adventures with your friends or other players.
