TRAGsoft had fun inserting these into the game, and they’re well worth locating, a novel idea. I’ve gotten hit with the move ‘Pocket Sand’ so often, I’m sure King of the Hill’s Dale Gribble would be proud. Exploring gets the player these small ‘Aha!’ moments which rewards hitting every nook and cranny. These references (without spoiling too much) outline awareness of years of culture, and they’re inserted organically. ‘Dad jokes’ often occur as well, such as when interacting with a scarecrow you’re treated to an “outstanding” groan worthy line.
I came across certainly not Weird Al’ Yankovic, with dialogue that comes from his parodies. Velua is LOADED with personality there are constant pop culture references shamelessly thrown into the title. A godsend for this title, is fast travel is introduced relatively early, although it is done by way of teleporter, and it’s still jarring when the small Matrix-like disappearing trick occurs, instead of a flying big bird coming to swoop you off to the nearest Trainer Hub. The Titan essence can change the fabric of Velua, and of course, it’s your job to do this by adventuring around the world to collect them, in a very organic presentation. The player must also collect Titan Essence, which is the main quest line, from six powerful Coromon to keep it out of an evil organization’s hands. But besides adventuring with Coromon the player is given another ‘chosen one’ type quest to bring the main course to the table. The ‘trainer’ is outfitted with a Gauntlet, which allows them to carry exactly six caught Coromon and utilize modules that can further progress the story - such as a ‘Push module,’ that has a fun icon that looks just like the ‘Move’ icon from Golden Sun - which hearken back to HM’s from that other ‘mon’ series. From like-minded individuals/trainers that aren’t treacherously long or tedious considering you’re always where you’re meant to be. Researchers are tasked with documenting Coromon while travelling, and what better way to do that than with side-quests that teach you the inner workings of the game.
#Games like coromon series#
This is a concept only introduced to Pokémontitles with the X and Y series of games, that Coromon included, and I’m here for it.
When starting out as a Coromon Battle Researcher, there is a great degree of customization with the main character: a name, hairstyle, the slightly small but recognizable clothing style, and even gender designation is given to the player before you set out on your journey through the lands of Velua. The player is injected straight into the role of “Battle Researcher” for a science-based company called Lux Solis, complete with a regional location, a small tutorial that doesn’t outstay its welcome, and a storyline that has nothing to do with gyms or battling Team Rocket/Magma/Plasma/Yell to save the world, you get the picture. While Coromon is entirely inspired by previous games that certainly rhyme with its title, it is not just a Pokémon Emerald clone with extra steps.
