Games Like Pokemon for PC
Siralim 3
There are not many games like Pokemon on PC that fully capture the magic of the games themselves. However, these six games are valiant efforts. In fact, the first game on this list is preferred by some.
The player’s main goal in this retro-inspired turn-based RPG called Siralim is to collect over 700 monsters and use their unique skills and abilities in an infinite amount of battles that this indie has to offer.
We say infinite because all of the dungeons in Siralim 3 are randomly generated with 15 different tilesets that the game uses.
With a deep crafting system to create equipment and spells for your team of monsters, Siralim literally has no end in sight and is the definition of a monster-taming RPG.
Siralim 3 is also making its way to the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PS4, so if you find yourself wanting to take this immense RPG on the go, you’ll have your chance soon enough.

Minimon
Minimon may still be in the early access phase of development, but this charming indie title looks to be one of the most promising games that take inspiration from Pokemon.
Being able to be played in single-player mode or with a second person using split-screen, Minimon tasks you with getting a team of formidable monsters together to then meet and duel thousands of other players.
You can customize your Monster Hunter till your heart’s content, find over 300 monsters all over the world, and go on quests to gain experience and unlock tons of cool stuff. Minimon is now available on Steam and is currently in early access.

Pixelmon (Minecraft Mod)
This immense Minecraft mod takes everything you know about Pokemon and throws it into the sandbox world full of blocky versions of each monster.
This mod has faithfully recreated iconic locales seen throughout the mainline Pokemon series such as Pokemon Centers, Professor Oak’s Lab, Pokemon Gyms, and much much more.
You can catch Pokemon in the wild using Pokeballs, go on adventures with your party, and even battle against other trainers in traditional turn-based fights.
It’s almost as if you’re playing an official Pokemon MMO that fans have been wanting for a long time, but just fan-made.
If you really like playing Minecraft and are also a fan of Pokemon, why not jump into this mod and live out your dream of being a Pokemon trainer, but in the creative toolbox that is Minecraft. You can go check out the mod right here.

Temtem
Temtem is currently in closed alpha for Kickstarter backers only. Still though,
we just wanted to speak on it to make sure that it sits on everybody’s radar because while Temtem is a straight-up Pokemon clone, the art style, creature designs, and overall aesthetic look superb and might make any Pokemon fan ooh and ahh.
While you explore the dynamic open world that Temtem offers players, you’ll be encountering different types of Pokem…umm we mean Temtem, and using them for battle against other trainers.
Unlike Pokemon, you have a home base that you go back and forth from which you can decorate and design to show off to your other friends.
Speaking of friends, since the game is essentially an MMO, you can join friends on quests of their own and seek their help for your missions as well.
Temtem is due to release on Steam sometime in 2019 and we can’t wait to see more of this one as its release comes closer.

World of Final Fantasy
World of Final Fantasy originally came out back in 2016 and was the ultimate crossover and a celebration of iconic Final Fantasy characters that proved to be a fun, charming, and deep turn-based RPG.
Now available on Switch and other platforms as ‘Maxima,’ this updated version features some bonus content while providing tons of mirage-catching fun to be had.
Enemies you encounter in the field can all be “captured” similarly to the Pokemon series.
You must meet certain requirements before attempting to grab it for your own team, but once you do, you can train and potentially evolve your mirages into stronger beings.
If you’re the type of person who loves filling out monster diary’s and compendiums, then you’ll find no shortage of monsters to collect and train in World of Final Fantasy.
Also, watching chibi-fied versions of famous monsters throughout the series stacking on top one another during battle is one of the cutest things ever.
