As with traditional Pokémon games you can of course only carry 6 with you at a time, with new party members, if you don’t decide to swap them into you party, being sent to the storage system, and normally one of the things I love in these games is to catch everything in an area before moving on, but with money being small and NexoTraps being so expensive I quickly gave up on that hobby, which kinda goes against the entire idea.
Or so I think anyway, honestly that ring of buttons is never explained and I caught Nexomon just fine without pushing them.

You ready your NexoTrap with L & R simultaneously, and then have to press a series of buttons in order to catch it.
Damage the creature, and your chances of a successful catch increase, with status effects and even feeding the Nexomon further improving the catch rate, which I did admittedly think was a neat idea, as well as PP being switched out for an overall energy meter that seems like a good idea at first but soon turns out less so. Wild battles are exactly what you remember from Pokémon.

Moving around on the overworld you battle trainers who so kindly have swords over their heads, signifying that they want to battle, and while moving through tall grass, walking into a patch that shakes will result in a Po- sorry… Nexomon encounter.
#Nexomon extinction trainer how to#
After battling the aforementioned dragon, you meet the ghost of an old tamer who proceeds to teach you how to capture Nexomon with so called NexoTraps that are devices literally colored the same as poke balls, only being square instead of spheres, with your annoying cat partner remarking that you probably just need to weaken them before you catch them, while also picking up everything from potions to revives and ethers. Remember what I said about having your own identity? While Nexomon opens up with a dark and serious tone, and even sports some really creative monster designs of its own, with no less that 381 to collect, it quickly drops the ball and becomes a parody Pokémon ripoff. The dragon of course makes mincemeat out of you and your mon, but best as it seems like you are all done for, a nearby gravestone magically disappears, revealing a cave entrance that you decide to flee through. The dragon is about to make short work of the two of you, when a mysterious girl suddenly appears before you, warning you of the dangers you will face in the future, and offering you a choice between 9 different starters, one of each element. Seriously, why don’t they just make the protagonist talk at that point? I guess they expect a random Nexomon will just spring out of a bush an decide to be your friend? But it quickly goes horribly wrong, as a fierce dragon mon descends from the sky and assaults you and your buddy Coco, a talking cat who, with his sarcastic and smartass tongue serves no other purpose than to be your mouthpiece, as he remarks on absolutely everything. Yay!! Your first task is, along with your friends, to venture into the nearby forest and find the buddy of your destiny. A group of brave youths however managed to stand up against the beast and use their own Nexomon companions against him, finally bringing and end to the stride and making the Nexomon our allies for good.Īll is still not completely well in today’s Nexomon world though as we soon come to learn, as our hero, their name and appearance of your deciding, is scheduled for a ceremony where you along with three other youths, are to receive your very first very own Nexomon partner and become a real tamer. However, legends tell of times immemorial where a big bad Nexomon called Omnicron ruled as king over the lesser Nexomon, and waged a brutal war against humanity. The game opens up as the most wooden narrator I’ve ever heard, gives us the usual speech about how humans and these monsters, called Nexomon which is one of the most generic Pokémon ripoff names I have ever heard, as if adding an X to something instantly makes it cool, have lived together in harmony for ages. But I’m getting ahead of myself, let’s get into whether this is the shiny you’ve been hunting for weeks, or just yet another measly Bidoof.
And perhaps that is the very reason why most still call games like Nexomon a Pokémon clone, as most monster catchers do the same as our golden boy, while adding very little of their own.
No one calls Celest a Mario clone or Gears of War a Call of Duty clone, perhaps because games within these genres have evolved and distanced themselves so much from each other, and each bringing something new to the table, that they give off their own feel and vibe. It is time yet again for another monster catching game! Now something I find strange within this genre is that whereas with other genres like shooters or platformers, we have long grown to accept them as having their own identity.
