* TheyCopiedItNowItSucks: No matter where you go, expect any conversation about ''temtem'' to bring up how similar it is to ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Despite the stylized look, ''temtem'' has enough occasional bits of swearing, references to alcohol, and other more mature topics to make it clear the game is targeting an older audience. Much of the dialog also touches on some more adult subject matter that would go over a younger players head, like Professor Konstantinos being a college professor rather than a labcoat-wearing scientist.

** ''Pokemon'' fans believe it's just a straight ripoff lacking the features that make it ''truly'' a MMO (in early access, has yet to implement global chat, battling is encouraged to be an endgame activity, no co-op ''yet''), and cite the designs as lacking in being iconic like the original generations of Pokemon that have been ingrained in pop culture.

** TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Several Tamers you encounter have access to Temtem you don't have access to for several more islands (such as Hocus and Oree) or Temtem that are underleveled (Kalabyss, whose Toxic type is good for a synergy attack). Perhaps the most egregious is Sparzy, an Electric Temtem that counters both Wind and Water (which is nearly every Temtem the player could tame by that point), is only weak to one of the three starters, and is ''completely unobtainable as of the Early Access release''.
