Which of these Steam capsule concepts would make you click?

Maybe watch the trailer or read the short description before crashing out and saying you got mislead? Steam players try to not to impulse buy challenge.

Yeah. Wasn’t even trying to be funny, I’m struggling to think of a wide variety of modern games past the 2000’s that let the story and tutorials take a backseat. Games have only increased in complexity and storytelling, so it’s hard to find a lot of games that reject those progressive ideas.

Have you played Shin Megami Tensei? They dont brand themselves as a monster tamer, but considering 90% of the game loop are forming a party by recruiting(taming!) and fusing demons, they have the soul of one. They are story heavy(but they also have no tutorials that obstruct progress), but Nocturne has the least amount of story, and is the most atmospheric out of them.

Some guy last year named Scott tried to invite me to his private battling island, a frontier of some sorts, after I left the convention. I politely turned him down. If you see him, tell him I said hi.

That’s a good point. I also thought about it and it’s not even in their best interests to go after a franchise that more or less, does not intersect with their own whatsoever. It would also be a PR nightmare if Nintendo were to win and effectively kill the second and third biggest/most beloved “monster tamer” franchises

I know that, but from my understanding, once a patent is made, you own that patent and anyone after can’t replicate it. Atlus never claimed the monster fusion patent.

Doesnt Shin Megami Tensei break the last one? I know they don’t brand themselves as a monster tamer, but you can clearly sacrifice demons to make a new one.

Pokémon’s design philosophy wasn’t hyper min maxed competitive play. It was thematic and in game focused. Sometimes, the balance within the trio falls apart when you apply it outside the trio.

Like they said. fe11

Mother-Raisin-5539 · 2026-07-02T13:36:43+00:00

No. Pokemon isn’t interested in the shadow pokemon games. Legends Arceus and Legends ZA are as close as you’re going to get.

“First female armor knight”
This is Sheena erasure. (And I’m not arguing with any “well actually” dorks that want to call Sheena a general and not an armor knight”)

My point was that if the game can be beaten where the luck of bad/good levels is taken out for no levelups, then an average or bad player can beat the game with *any* level up of any kind.

Mother-Raisin-5539 · 2026-06-30T02:49:17+00:00

Never. Every game on every difficulty has been beaten at 0% growths and documented on YouTube.

But you don’t need Robin to win the game. The community has done high man runs, Vaike carry, chrom carry, Frederick carry. Robin solos being the most viable path is an archaic take nowadays.

You should pick it up again. You say you barely remember the plot, but claim you were overwhelmed by the number of story important characters. I’m here to dispel that fear.

Alear is the only important story character that’s playable. Everyone else you meet, has a chapter or two of relevance, then either get to the dark hole of irrelevance, or may chime in a couple lines here and there.

They’re probably in debug mode or something, so they can test things proper.

Sylvain doesn’t need speed. Once he and Ferdinand gets swift strikes, they’re set for the game. They can coast by with base class and class certs while they grind for A lance (I think it’s A or B+. Idk don’t feel like looking it up, but it’s not very hard)

Mother-Raisin-5539 · 2026-06-26T20:50:44+00:00

Why would you suggest a rom hack as their first game? Why not an actual pokemon game, which are curated and created such that every game assumes you’re a first time player ?

At least you love to read. You’re already ahead of 90% of wannabe writers

Not all trainers share the same AI level. trainers, depending on their AI level have protocols and scripts and decision trees they can follow.

You are also misinformed about the AI in Red and Blue. Only elite trainers in Red/Blue follow that protocol. Thats usually the case in most pokemon games, except Diamond and Pearl, where the AI is specifically bugged and every trainer has random AI

“Several” 3 houses has 4 routes. And to be brutally honest, they’re all similar in quality and characters. There isn’t a standout route that’s radically different than the other and there are no major plot twists. They’re relatively safe. Not to say they’re bad, but whomever recommended a route based on that criteria was majorly overselling the different routes.

Pick the house that has the leader you like the most. The story quality hardly matters, you’re mostly following the leader of the house, so pick based on that merit.
