I am playing Pokemon Violet at the moment and it is a total bore. I have played the game so many times and I just want to run around catch Pokemon and battle.

I do not need another tutorial about what a Pokemon center is. Or a tutorial to tell me that I need to use a Pokeball to catch a Pokemon.

Can we get a "I've played this game 100 times" mode where it just saves the tutorials and lets us play the game?

I have heard very positive reviews of Casette Beasts, which appears to cater to the Pokemon crowd. I’m not so much into that genre, but has anyone else tried it? It’s on Game Pass as well.

I absolutely adored Cassette Beasts and cannot recommend it enough. The soundtrack alone is incredible.

Kinda got burned by Nexomon (story felt like it was written by an edgelord) and Temtem (too much 2v2 focus.) If Cassette Beasts is any good I am more than willing to try it.

Coromon is another one that's worth a shot. Much better story and world than Nexomon, only occasional 2v2 battles, and some of the best monster designs outside old school Pokemon IMO. It's not a big a diversion from Pokemon as Cassette Beasts is, which could be good or bad depending on what your looking for.

I'm surprised I haven't heard of this till now. It looks really good.
