As a kid, my grandparents bought me a copy of "Pokemon Sapphire" from a Chinese market, and I was very impressed by the new direction they were taking the series. But actually, it was just the GBA Telefang sequel. It has some genuinely interesting mechanics, like: - Monsters evolve by leveling up, but you can also instead give base-form monsters items to trigger reversible side-evolutions that have most of the benefits of a second-stage evo but with totally different typings. - On-map encounters, triple battles, and your main monster following behind you, all before Pokemon did these things. - Rather than set party members, you can call any monster(s) in your contacts list for each battle. The amount of turns it takes for them to show up is based on the distance between where you "caught" them and where you currently are, so you're encouraged to recruit guys all over the world. Even standard encounter monsters can have their own friends that they call in from other areas! It's too bad the level design stinks, and all the dungeons are just oversized samey battle-filled labyrinths with no landmarks :(

@tpfoxCastro 11 дней назад

Isn't the evolution thing just, cross-evos? aybe cross-evos mixed with mega evolutioon, because of the reversibility? The calling mechanic is like if you played as N, LOL. Ngl, you made me whant to try it

An important note you skipped is that digimon wasn't created as a monster catcher, from the start it was meant to be a version of tamogatchi they could market to boys. Its a pet sim that you can battle, and many of the video games follow this framework (The modern digimon World games still follow this framework, while the digimon story games are actual proper monster collectoes)

@teathesilkwing7616 4 месяца назад

Tamogatchi is a monster catching game, but you catch them by buying them at walmart

@darienb1127 11 месяцев назад

So this game wasn't even out when you made this video, but I wanna bring up Cassette Beasts. It's become one of my favorite monster catching games in recent time. It has a lot of gameplay elements that set it apart from other monster catching games, as well as boss fights that use multimedia animation! The boss fights are the highlight of the game and highly recommended you see them for yourself.

I just wanna mention something about yo kai watch. The first game had a lot of recolors , but those were mostly to be rarer versions , and to be ones that could be obtained randomly. The Second and third game had a lot less. Also for Castelius , it's part of the joke.

@JesterQueenAnne 11 месяцев назад

Kinda disappointing that Dragon Quest V or Megami Tensei didn't get a mention. DQV was the first game ever with the monster catching mechanic and Megami Tensei was the first game designed completely around the mechanic (predating Pokémon by almost a decade), creating the monster catching genre. Not only that, the Megami Tensei series is still the second most popular franchise of the genre, thanks to the success of the Persona games.

@MelodyNosurname 9 месяцев назад

this video was originally supposed to be pokemon-like games but people complained that i was calling them rip-offs, so those games dont fit THAT topic but do fit the new title. They're just not included bc of a fix to the title I did that caused more issues.

@sambeckettcat 9 месяцев назад

It is dubious to include Digimon in this, because technically it started as a Tamagotchi competitor, and only some of the games were actually about catching/recruiting the monsters. In many you just a set number of partners who you’d evolve over time before they reverted to eggs and you had to evolve them all over again.

I was hoping that Spectrobes would be mentioned at some point cause I always found it to be an enigma of a series. It was a set of 3 Monster Collectors (at least I think they were) and they were published by Disney Interactive Studio of all groups. I remember playing the Wii game in particular, which I think was a prequel? And I remember in the Wii game at least, you excavated the Spectrobes from fossils like Fossil Fighters, but I never played the DS games so I don't know what those were like.

@catantcha99 9 месяцев назад

I like Sanrio Timenet. It's a monster battling game by Imagineer with 161 cute monsters, but Sanrio (Hello Kitty) characters are the trainers. Additionally, the difficulty curve is relatively hard and the encounter rate can be high, but that's fine if you're used to it/willing to grind.

@spacealien3073 4 месяца назад

I'm quite a big nerd or monster battling games (probably why this year old video got recommended to me) and I genuinely never knew Sanrio made one!

@EvieMyMelody 4 месяца назад

@@spacealien3073 Yeah ^^ (well they licensed it rather than developed it, except Hisato Inoue the Badtz-Maru/Hangyodon etc. guy did the character art :D). That's also probably why his obscure character Monster Zakki from Donragon appears as one of the Sanrio characters. Though in the Sanrio community it's debated whether the Donragon characters are Sanrio characters. They got the copyright Sanrio notice when the cartoon featured on Daisuki! Hello Kitty though. I have a walkthrough and guides of this game in English (apparently nobody else did) if you ever want to get into it. However it has the 'high random encounters'/'difficulty curve' flaw many monster battling games have. Other than that I think it's a very good game, and has depth to it, and I think the music is very good.

@Acheronpanda 7 месяцев назад

Invizimals was *THE* shit when I was a kid. Much like Foto Showdown and Fossil Fighters, you don't actually fight Invizimals to capture them. Instead, you search around your room for a specific colour relating to the Invizimal, and when you finally scan it, you place down an Invizimal Trap, which was just a graphic printed onto cardboard. From there, you'd have to do a minigame to capture the creature. Fighting was real time, with moves that are stronger or weaker against specific types of invizimals. There's some phrases that go along with them, like "Can't cut rock" or "Can't shout at water". Along with that, you could block in real time, or if you were an absolute gigachad of a kid, evade the attacks altogether. Along with that, they had some weird powers you can drop in which required you to do something like shaking your PSP camera to cause an earthquake. REALLY goated game, wish more people knew about it.

@adams0123 8 месяцев назад

Good video, though there might be one or two spin offs of pre-existing series that sort of come under the section of 'Monster Catchers'. The one I'm mainly thinking about Monster Hunter Stories and its sequel, even if you don't 'catch' wild monsters and more 'kidnap their children and trick them into seeing you as kin using magic rocks'.

Late to the party, so this will probably never be answered, but I'd like to add one franchise of games that, in my opinion, kickstarted the whole monster catching genre: Megami Tensei/Shin Megami Tensei/SMT/Megaten/etc. Since it wasn't mentioned at all I reckon that either you weren't aware it existed (fair) or rather you didn't consider it valid according to your criteria (which is also fair). Still, since I've yet to see another comment mentioning SMT, as an (annoying) fan of sending literal demons to fight literal capital G I have to take matters into my own hands. Annoying comment over, great video, cheers :)

since I’m like insane about yokai watch I can tell you that the reason why psychic specters, the blasters games and 3 are all so expensive is cause since yokai watch’s popularity was declining plus they never advertised the damn games, they made significantly less physical copies of those games, which is fucking stupid cause 3 is like the best one
