Scratch the Pokemon itch on Xbox.

Pokemon — a multimedia franchise all about catching monsters and trading them with friends — took the world by storm during the 90s, and remains popular to this day. However, in recent years, there has been a growing number of gamers becoming dissatisfied with a perceived lack of innovation in Pokémon's flagship titles.

This sentiment may have contributed to an increasing volume of third-party takes on the 'monster catcher' formula Pokemon popularized. Examples include indie titles like TemTem, Monster Crown, and Coromon. There have even been higher-budgeted titles like CAPCOM's Monster Hunter: Stories and Square Enix's Dragon Quest: Joker trying to capitalize on Pokémon's formula. One of those titles has finally made it to the Xbox One X and that is Nexomon: Extinction.
