Evaluation
Tembo the Badass Elephant launched on July 21, 2015 as a self-contained action-platformer with 18 levels. The store description presents it as a complete, finite experience with no mention of DLC, expansions, or ongoing content. The only developer communication on record is a launch-day bug fix post from July 21, 2015 addressing server issues at launch — there have been no further posts of any kind since then. No DLC was ever listed or released. GAME FREAK shipped this as a finished product and has made no statements about additional content at any point in the game's history.

About this game
Shell City is plunged into a state of emergency after coming under attack from the devastating forces of PHANTOM. Terrifying war machines, emblazoned with skulls, tear through the city leaving a trail of destruction in their wake! As the National Army struggle to contain PHANTOM, General Krenman sees the mammoth task at hand and calls upon the only thing that stands between Shell City’s obliteration and its salvation; the peanut chompin’, villain stompin’, PHANTOM romping BADASS Elephantidae…TEMBO THE BADASS ELEPHANT! Aided by his faithful avian companion Picolo, it’s up to TEMBO to jump, smash, punch, swing, and butt stomp his way through the PHANTOM hordes as he aims to bring about the end of their tyrannical onslaught. Featuring 18 cleverly designed 2D side-scrolling levels, a whole host of deadly enemies and a unique comic book style art, TEMBO THE BADASS ELEPHANT is the heaviest action adventure of the year…weighing in at about seven and a half tons of fun.
