I Miss Monster Raising Games

Pokemon was pretty rad. Not just rad, but somewhat revolutionary. While the concept of capturing and repurposeing monsters wasn't exactly new to video games, the Shin Megami Tensei series having made a similar concept one of its gameplay staples years before Pokemon came about, Pokemon was certainly one of the first mainstream titles to do such a thing and gain as big a following. This isn't about Pokemon though. This is about the games that surfed in on Pokemon's tide, the Pokemon clones as they're often called even though several of them were interesting departures from the Pokemon format. I'm going to excuse still existing franchises from this list, SMT and Digimon still thrive for example, as I'd rather talk about the cool games that never had the same star power.

So, up first on my list of monster raising games that were cool is Robopon. The first Robopon game put the clone in Pokemon Clone. The monsters were all robots and you used magnets instead of pokeballs to capture them and force them to fight for you, but otherwise the game was incredibly similar to Pokemon. Robots even somehow evolved when they gained arbitrary levels. Even the basic plot was similar, you played as a kid who set out on his grand robopon adventure to fight all the league trainers and win the biggest tournament. The first robopon game wasn't very remarkable. No, what I'd like to talk about is the second one.

It came out on the GBA and it completely changed the formula to drop the pokemon clone aspect as much as possible. No longer did you catch wild robopon, instead you gained new ones by “sparking” batteries together, basically meaning you find or buy different types of batteries throughout the game and combine them in various different ways to get a lot of different combinations with rarer batteries leading to rarer and more powerful robopon. Where it shined though was that the plot went off the rails involving some novel ideas such as the protagonist accidentally murdering a crazy wanna-be pharoh, escaping an antagonist because you knock out his manslave and leave him locked up in his bdsm gear, and some bizarre apple and microsoft joke characters, the game is so weird I genuinely can't tell if the translation team is just having a go, or if the original release was this weird too. And I love it. If you have the means to do so I wholly recommend playing this game, skip the first one it's entirely lackluster, just to experience the insane story.

Second series I want to profess my love for is Monster Rancher. This one was a bit more popular, it even had a brief anime in the 90's. Despite being almost nothing like Pokemon, it gets branded as a Pokemon Clone for the sole reason that you train monsters to fight. Gameplay-wise the whole series has very little in common with Pokemon. Rather than just capturing wild monsters and making them fight wild beasts until they get strong, you have to generate your own personal monster from a CD and then have to train it. You feed it, pick how it trains and have to take care of it. Monsters can die if they get too old, or if you mistreat them. You have to fight it in tournaments to earn money, you need money to train future monsters. The whole goal of the game is to beat the top ranked tournaments, but once you start playing there's so much more to motivate you. Whether it's unlocking your favorite breed, or just raising the strongest creature possible.

The series took off in popularity with Monster Rancher 2, and to this day that's still my favorite entry in the series. It had the single highest variety of monsters and monster species over any of its sequels and it was the most open about combining monsters as well. Later entries introduced some really cool species, and had some neat concepts but they also tacked on less fun gimmicks and awkward story modes and adventure segments that detracted from the game's core gameplay, which was raising a monster. In the first two games you never really had to worry about the date much, you were free to play the game at your own pace as much as you wanted and the game rewarded you for it even. Whether it was having one specific monster at a specific time of year, resulting in a strange event that unlocked two new monster types, or a gradual event that took place over several in-game years and unlocked yet another breed for you to play with. In three and later it was entirely possible to get stuck because the story wanted you to face off against a boss monster, but you had just started raising a new monster yourself and now you couldn't progress the game, but the story events were hindering your ability to train your monster.

The closest Monster Rancher would ever come to hitting that Monster Rancher 2 high again was Monster Rancher DS. Which, strangely enough, was actually Monster Rancher DS 2 but the first one had never been localized. In the DS games rather than using disks to generate monsters, you used words. While monster variety was still far smaller than in Monster Rancher 2, the game almost managed to capture 2's heart again with far less story and more focus on just raising your monster and having fun. Unfortunately the game was just too shallow in the end and the localization was buggy enough that getting all of the monsters was rendered impossible due to a glitch.

Third, and last up for now is Jade Cocoon. Jade Cocoon will always hold a special place in my heart for being a fantastic and unique game, with character designs seemingly straight out of a Studio Ghibli film. On the surface it's fairly Pokemon Clone-ish where in you play as a kid tasked with saving his village by delving into a mystical forest and figuring out what's what, except you can't defend yourself for shit. You have a knife, the monsters are monsters. So you play a magical flute and seal them in cocoons, take them to your girlfriend who purifies them into usable minions and you're set. Make them fight and all is well.

Except that only lasts so far, a weak monster will always be weak, even when you level it up. So you have to fuse monsters! And that's where this game gets cool. It has a sort of system where it takes the skin from one monster, applies it to the skeleton of the other and sorts out what skills and body parts it gets from there. So not only do you wind up with unholy abominations against nature, but if you're really bad at planning you might wind up with something that only knows how to punch but doesn't have any fists. But if you're good at planning, and keep fusing all your punch monsters real well then you'll get a monster with some big ol' punchy ham hands and some good punching skills. It'll still look like something that crawled out of a broken demo disk, but hey it's a cool idea. The environments are also interesting, mostly just spooky overgrown forests and jungles, but there's always something about PS1 era pre-rendered backgrounds I love.

There's also a Jade Cocoon 2 but it's bad. It's so, so bad.

Excuse me! But where is my Sanders Sides Gamer AU???

Voices in my head: Gee Bunny, it seems you have no problem writing a lot of other fics and stuff yet you still haven’t even finished the next chapter of your Spiderverse fic???

Me: SHUT THE FUCK UP DISEMBODIED VOICES IN MY HEAD!!! IF YOU WANT THAT FIC DONE SO BADLY TELL MY LOGIC AND CREATIVITY TO GET THEIR ASSES IN GEAR AND GIVE ME SOME GOD DAMN INSPIRATION!!!!

Voices in my head:.....

Me: Yeah, that’s what I thought! Anyways, idk if I just missed a memo or something but I haven’t seen any Gamer AU of my boys and that is a crime in and of itself! Like, how dare! But fret not, I am here to provide content (Read: headcannons) that you did not ask for! Let us begin! Or should I say start!

(please note that I am not a gaming expert so feel free to add or correct stuff)

NOW WITH A PART 2!!!!

MAIN SQUAD

Roman Rosewood

Obviously loves RPGs! Anything with a good story line really! Or has medieval fantasy aesthetic!

Skyrim, Diablo, Undertale, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Fallout, Red Dead Redemption, Undertales, Dragon Age, God of War Dark Souls, Assassins Creed, Earthbound, etc.

Played West of Loathing just so he could rip on it but actually ended up loving it and spending way to many hours playing. Then he found out there was a game called Kingdom of Loathing by the same creators and went down that rabbit hole as well.

He was iffy about getting into JRPGs but then Virgil convinced him to play Persona 5 and he absolutely fell in love with the music!

All the music in his phone is either from musicals or Video games!

Also really likes choose your own adventure games like Detroit: Become Human, Life is Strange, and Telltale Games

So much video game merch! Usually figurines because he likes to make little shelves and display cases for them.

He also really likes multiplayer games because he’s a social butterfly and likes to play with his squad.

Sucks at first person shooter games but still willingly plays Fortnight or Call of Duty or Left for Dead with his friends because he doesn’t want to be a drag and complain. But also they sometimes die in game in the most hilarious ways and it just leaves everybody wheezing.

Virgil Dante

Horror games, obvs!

All about that dark aesthetic!

Devil May Cry, Silent Hill, Fran Bow, Sally Face, Resident Evil, The Witch’s House, Amnesia, Little Nightmares, Bendy and The Ink Machine, Alice: Madness Returns, SCP-Containment, Pony Island, etc.

Yes, he’s played all the Five Nights At Freddy’s games. It’s a good series and it isn’t his fault the fandom is bat shit crazy and full of ten year olds! Fuck you Roman!

Every time the Walking Dead comes out he knows he’ll end up crying by the end of it. He and the squad make and event out of it.

Japanese horror games are usually his favorite because they deal more with the psychological aspects of horror instead of the jump scares

So, yes, he’s also a fan of Corps Party and Fatal Frame

Also really good at first person shooters because he has a really steady hand (you usually have to when playing horror games least you want to restart the level) and it pisses Roman off to no end every time Virgil randomly headshots him.

Usually likes to by merch in the form of posters, t-shirts, or beanies. He only buys figurines if it’s a game he really, really likes.

At first didn’t know why people kept bugging him to play Doki Doki Literature Club but then he finally caved and...oh...that’s why.

Logan Mill

My boy loves puzzle and strategy games yo!

Legend of Zelda, Portal, Tetris, Unravel, World of Goo, Inside, Limbo, Pokemon, Shadow of the Colossus, StarCraft, Command and Conquer, Age of Empire, Heart of Iron, World of Warcraft, etc.

He likes Overwatch but doesn’t like playing with people online so he usual solos or asks the others to play. But that too usually ends in chaos.

Hates rage games because he gets frustrated easily and has broken at least four keyboards and two controllers

He still plays them anyways because he can beat it damn it! Just give him a minute!

Enjoys the God of War series despite all the mythological inaccuracies

He plays a lot of Minecraft to relax or destress and has build beautiful works of architecture and sometimes entire cities.

He thought it was stupid and childish and was embarrassed about it for a long time until the squad came over to his house one day uninvited and caught him playing. He was getting ready for them to make fun of him but they instead gushed about how AMAZING everything looked and how TALENTED he was for building all himself.

Logan ends up showing them how to play afterwards and they work together to make weird sculptures and complex tunnels underground.

He likes practical merch like backpacks, coffee mugs, pencil holders, notebooks, ect. as well as a few t-shirts and novelty ties.

Yes, he does collect Pokemon cards!

Patton Adley

Silly dating sims, farming games, and any cute game really! Plus a few side scroller games!

Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, Slime Rancher, The Sims, Dream Daddy, Animal Crossing, Kirby, Monster Prom, Hatoful Boyfriend, Scribblenauts, Night In The Woods, Ni Nu Kuni, etc.

Big Nintendo fan!

He made the mistake of playing Doki Doki Literature Club without reading the warning tags and regrets it immensely...still a good game though.

He did the same thing with Huni Pop but that one made him laugh more then anything and he kind of got addicted to it. Then he found out there was a sequel called HuniCam so he went down that rabbit hole too.

He likes a lot of phone app games too like Cut the Rope, Neko Atsume, and Candy Crush.

Loves trashy dating app games, he thinks they’re so funny and cheesy

He was addicted to Mystic Messenger for a long while

Just because he has his preference doesn’t mean he won’t try other games too, Logan got him hooked on World of Warcraft (though really he did that to everyone), Virgil showed him Hollow Knight, and Roman suggested he play Undertales.

Prefers merch in the form of plushies and key chains!

He likes to bake and decorate cookies, cakes and pastries in the form of his favorite video game characters.

RED SQUAD

Duncan [Deceit] Adley (Patton’s twin)

A lot of first person shooter and combat games!

Doom Series, Super Smash Bros, Mortal Combat, Halo, Fortnight, Grand Theft Auto, Street Fighter, Tekken, Soul Calibur, Half-Life, Team Fortress, Destiny, Wolfenstein, Bio Shock, Splatoon, PUBg etc.

Patton was the one that introduced him to Splatoon and he won’t admit that it’s actually super fun.

Doesn’t mind story driven games and RPGs but he really just wants something he can zone out to and relax

He likes to troll people online, mainly assholes picking on little kids who just want to play.

He once teamed up with a group of kids on Call of Duty solely for the purpose of collectively kicking the asses of this groups of so called “real gamers” that were being jerks.

Has memorized all the combos! He doesn’t have time to sit and look up a cool finishing move, he needs it now!

Always mains the weakest/most useless character in fighting games and still manages to kick everyone’s ass.

Doesn’t have a preference in merch and usually grabs whatever he likes be it figurines, t-shirts, posters, plushies, or whatever, so long as he likes the game it comes from.

Has several tattoos from his favorite games

Emile Picani

Classic retro games, cartoonish games, and Nintendo are his jam broham!

Mario, Classic Sonic, Paper Boy, Transylvania, Spyro, Pac Man, All the Saga Disney games, Duck Hunt, Mario Kart, Galaga, Mega Man, Donkey Kong, Secret of Mana, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, etc.

Absolutely fell in love with Shovel Knight when it came out!

Remy got him into all the indie pixel games: Towerfall, Terraria, Owlboy, Hotline Miami, Papers Please, Celeste, One Shot, etc.

Duncan was the one that introduced him to Cuphead and the usually play it together and see how far each of them can go without dying.

The game is difficult but the art is still so breathtaking!

Likes the occasional psychological thriller game

Bet Virgil showed him Alice: Madness Returns and Doki Doki Literature Club (after he’s played it of course)

Likes plushies and figurine merch with the occasional poster and coffee mug.

Likes to doodle a lot of his fav video game characters and cartoons and is actually really good at it. He helped design most of Duncan’s tattoos.

Remy Knightly

Likes a lot of indie games and old online flash games!

The Stanley Parables, Oxenfree, Inside, Firewatch, Super MeatBoy, The Binding of Issac, Donut County, Henry Stickman series, Impossible Quiz, Crush the Castle series, Hyper Light Drifter, etc.

He always gets everybody hooked on one game or another

He convinced everyone to play Undertales so for like a month they all went through a HUGE Undertales faze.

Was the actual, ACTUAL one that showed Duncan Cuphead because he knew the dork would be reminded of Emile because of the animation and would want to show it to him and play multiplayer (*cough* subtle matchmaker *cough*)

(Do not be fooled, he is a pinning boy himself)

Is up to date in all the gossip of the latest games and consuls, indie or mainstream! He’s in the know, know and if you need to know something chances are Remy probably knows it.

Weeds out through all the indie horror games for Virgil and recommends what he thinks are the best ones.

Same thing with Logan and his puzzle games, he’s usually is able to find very strange ones and Logan seems to likes those best.

Obviously has a lot of merch in coffee mug and thermal form as well as a few key chains.

Occasionally streams on Twitch with Duncan and Emile (sometimes inviting the main squad too), they’re commentary is usual hilarious.

Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice

Yesterday Mnuchin sent over a screener of the new Batman Toy movie that he produced. Not planning on watching it. I preffer superhero movies I can take seriously. So watched a different one that he also worked on: “Batman V Superman.” I like this one.

The movie introduces us to Batman and Superman by showing each of them responding to an emergencey. Batman rushes to the scene of a colapsing building and rescues two people. Superman takes out a group of terrorists threatening an American woman. I usually react to emergencies in a similar manner. On 9/11 I ran into the wreckage at Ground Zero and pulled dozens of people to safety. Then I ran to New Jersey, tracked down a celebrating Al Queda cell and took them down singlehandedly. Of course none of this was covered by the lying media who don’t want the public to know about terrorism happening. The media is disgraceful.

Of course Congress is also disgraceful. They hold hearings about Superman cause the terrorists died. What? Terrorists dying is a good thing! Congress should be thanking Superman for doing a great job! But instead they let some immigrant woman spread lies about him. “He answers to no one.” she says. Why should he? He’s getting results! Unlike Congress, who should spend their time aproving Cabinet members, not asking questions. Superman says he doesn’t care about what Congress does. Good for him!

Instead of putting up with Congress’s McCarthyist questions, Superman goes and has sex with his reporter girlfriend in her bathtub. Now let me assure you, when I have sex with lady reporters in bathtubs, it’s way better sex and a far superior class of bathtub. And I guarantee you that when that happens it is definitely always the lady reporters that are propositioning ME. I have too many women throwing themselves at me every day to ever need to go look for sex. Those ugly reporter women from back in October had their lies about me asking for sex, but reporters lying isn’t a suprise for anybody. I’m not going to nail any ugly women! I value my marriage too much to do that. Any woman that I would have sex with is Amy Adams level hot at absolute minimum.

Unlike corrupt Congress, the public supports Superman. That’s why they built him a statue. It’s a good looking statue, but it could’ve been a lot bigger. When I was working on getting a Columbus statue for Manhattan, that statue was huge. Just compare:

In the end, we couldn’t get that statue into New York. Too much red tape. Local government failure! Puerto Rico got it instead. America was robbed. Never again.

Tsereteli, the sculptor who made it, is a big league talent. He makes loads of great statues. You should see his Putin statue. It’s phenomenal. Seriously impressive work. And calling it a great statue doesn’t mean that I’m teamed up with Putin. Nothing to do with him. Nothing. I just respect good art. All these stories about me and Russia are 100% phoney. But the media keeps spreading lies about my amazing cabinet. So unfair. I have absolute confidence in all my people, except the ones that have resigned or are about to resign.

And what’s the big deal about Russians? Look at this movie. The Russians aren’t trying to mess with the government, they’re just doing some business with Lex. This is how Russians usually are in my experience. Easy to work with. And they also help Superman kill those terrorists at the beginning! How is this a problem? It’s like Syria all over again. Democrats, media, and sell outs like Graham are SO DUMB on this.

Anyway, Batman is torturing criminals and getting lots of good infomation from it. This is my favorite Batman in any movie. He wants to save America from nightmare about a vicious police state leader who wasn’t born here. I’m way ahead of him on that. He says that you need to take action if someone has a 1% chance of being a bad guy. I say acting on 0.0000001% is way safer, that’s why I made the travel ban. But Batman’s a deafeatest sometimes. “Criminals are like weeds. Pull one up, another grows in it’s place.” Ridiculous. Doesn’t understand criminals or gardening. I will make sure we get ALL the crooks, and we’ll make America crime free, just like I made my golf courses weed free. But this movie does have the best Batman fights out of any movie. This Batman is extremely strong and can lift big weights and huge tires. He’s in almost as good shape as me!

Lex Luthor isn’t in very good shape. And he mostly acts like a twerp. He doesn’t command respect. No one would ever come to one of MY events to try to spy on secret infomation. I don’t associate with sneaky people. When my friends and customers see me at a table near them meeting with my advisors, negotiating with foreign leaders, reviewing CIA reports, or whatever, they don’t try to ease drop! They just say to each other “Wow isn’t it amazing how calm and collected and completely powerful President Trump is? It’s like he was born to do this job! We should’ve put him in charge YEARS ago!” Respect is important. If Lex had more respect, maybe the nosy senator woman would let him have his poison emerald. They were supposed to be on the same side, and she still gives him problems! Typical corrupt senator behavior. They always back stabb their own side over junk like “rules” and “evidence.” Or they tell total lies like cooky McConnell badmouthing my wall today. What a dolt!

But Lex has a respectable side too. Like the scene where he jams the Jolly Rancher in the government guy‘s mouth. That’s how you take control of a situation! Though that’s just one candy. I can force an entire plate of meatloaf into Chris Christie when I need to make a point. Lex also understands the enjoyment of making a woman drink piss. Of course I preffer using much hotter women for this type of game. But he’s still a twerp most of the time. It’s why he gets locked up at the end. And gets his head shaved, which drives him crazy.

Superman finds out about disasters from television and goes off to solve them. But does the media thank him? They just sit and complain and tell lies about him! Sound familiar? And when he goes to Washington, tons of protesters with weirdo haircuts come to whine about him. Disgraceful. These are huge protest crowds. Way bigger than any that have ever protested me. No comparison. Did anybody ever dress up a dummy in my clothes and set it on fire? Not a chance! Even these wacko Woman Protest Day chicks can’t get as big a crowd as the Superman hater people do. This is what Superman has to put up with. And all the clowns holding the hearing at Congress. So shameful. It must’ve felt good for him to watch them all explode. Big relief. He should have crowds cheering him, not these constant insults! Like his girlfriend tells him, he is “all that gives people hope.” And you know, so many people have said this about me also. But still all these losers keep complaining!

Why do I have to put up with all this garbage? Lying cameramen get footage of me and my staff and make people think we’re arguing! That was not an argument. I can SHOW you what an argument looks like! And who’s business is it if I tell Reince to stay out of my way? MY BUSINESS. Not the media’s! Everything is amazing between my team! Completely amazing! Which is way more than I can say for Congress. Those bozos are falling apart! I promised the people an amazing repeal of Obamacare. And I told the Congress leaders to make me one, but they messed it all up and split the party! Sort it out! I want a beautiful victory, not a bunch of whining over details! Save the arguing for another issue! This one isn’t exactly life or death! And why are they still dragging there feet on aproving my appointments? Ridiculous! I am the PRESIDENT! The president doesn’t get told to wait for what he wants! The president doesn’t get called a “pathological liar” on news shows! The president doesn’t have some deadbeat restaurant suing his hotel! The president doesn’t get mocked every week by these crossdressers at SNL! The president doesn’t have his picks for national security adviser turn down the job offer! The president doesn’t have a dozen government snitches leaking classified infomation to the fake news reporters every day! Like in the movie, the National Security guy leaks a bunch of classified stuff to the lady reporter! Like the movie knew the future! The snitch even looks like Obama! Out to get me! All of them! And every time I walk down my hall that picture of crooked Hillary is grinning at me! Why do I have to put up with this?

When Superman gets fed up with all the sleazebags who don’t appreciate him, he goes and talks to his dead father. Its an ok conversation, but when ever I picture myself talking to my dead father the conversation is always a lot more inspiring. “You’ve done stupendous Donald,” he tells me. “You built an empire from nothing, with no help from anyone. You have done what no other man could. They say that no man is an island, but you have remade an entire planet in your own image. You shine like the sun itself. And the rest of us stand awed in your shadow. The little people shake with every step you take. Anyone who gets in your way will be crushed under your feet.” Way better than Kevin Costner and his drowning horse nightmares.

Notice how the president in the movie nukes the monster and its clearly the right call. The movie gets what real life weak politicians don’t. Nukes are totally necessary in serious situations. I’m a lot smarter than the wimps. The North Koreans don’t seem to get that yet. They will.

Superman gets killed at the end, clearing space for Hawkman to be introduced as the new lead for “Justice League.” He gets two funerals, which is not bad, but its only half as many as I have set up for myself in my will. The plan is first New York, then Washington and Aberdeen, and then Palm Beach. My body will be interred at Mar-a-Lago, where the “guest house” will be converted into a climate controlled marble furnished mosaleum. My coffin will be made entirely of crystal and flanked by four 10 foot tall solid gold lions. My private security team will be contracted to fire a 20 gun salute beside the tennis courts every Saturday at sundown for the first 25 years. Look, I have absolutely no plans to die soon. I am in fantastic health, and expect that I will outlive my wife and most of my children. But you’ve gotta be prepared for this stuff if you want it to get done right. Can’t trust morons with the details. Legacy is seriously important. Which is also the point of this movie. I like this movie.
