The massive multiplayer online creature collection game, Temtem, has reached 500,000 copies sold.
Since its release on Steam last month, Temtem has received overwhelmingly positive reviews. Players are raving about how much this game has to offer by way of features that improve upon the creature collection genre. Certain things that the Pokemon franchise was never quite able to perfect, like smooth running and in-depth multiplayer.
After only one month of being able to be purchased in Early Access, Temtem has already surpassed half a million copies sold. Given that the game is still technically in development, that is quite an amazing number indeed.
On top of that, Temtem has already received more than 16,000 reviews on Steam, with an overall tone of very positive. Not surprising, considering just how well made this indie game truly is. Fans of the genre agree that Temtem has certainly carved out a spot for itself in the creature collection world.

The Pokemon Company has launched the official web page for Pokemon Home.
For those that are in the dark on this one, Pokemon Home is set to be the new cloud storage service offered by The Pokemon Company. It is set to be a place where you can store all your captured Pokemon from many different Pokemon games.
Not only will you be able to store all your Pokemon in one convenient location, you will also be able to view their stats, moves, and other attributes using the new service. Pokemon Home will be offered as an app, and will be compatible with many different mobile devices, including the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite.
Possibly one of the coolest functions of the new cloud service is the ability to also trade the monsters you have caught from all these games. The Switch version of the app will include Pokemon from Sword/Shield, and Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee. The mobile version will eventually include the creatures collected Pokemon GO.
The app will also feature a sync ability with The Pokemon Bank from the Nintendo 3DS. This app is really turning out to be everything we originally hoped The Pokemon Bank would be. For more information on The Pokemon Home app, check out the newly updated site.

As if it was to tease Animal Crossing fans again, Nintendo announces the long awaited Direct for January but it’s not exactly what most people may hoped for.
Many people were speculating when the next Nintendo Direct would take place at least we have an answer for that now. The Pokemon Direct will stream on January 9th at 6am PT / 9am ET.
The Pokemon Direct will last 20 minutes and will focus on the Pokemon franchise only.
Only yesterday I was raising the question “Where is all the Animal Crossing News?” With less than 3 months away from New Horizons release date we have yet to receive some solid information about the upcoming game.
Nintendo Switch Pro
Nintendo may be working on a Nintendo Switch Pro to compete with the upcoming PlayStation 5 and Xbox One Series X.
