MMMMMMore monster rancher! The chronicles of Jade being AMAZING AND GREAT and me HOPING SHE NEVER DIES!

* i’m so happy my baby is finally succeeding at battles aaaaa im so sorry you had such a bad start, jade! thanks for putting up with me!

* I just got a random event about the AGIMA president mr not-a-toupee offering Zest a job as a monster battle official. But he refused cos ‘ugh, Aroma cant handle the ranch without me’ Like.. dude... she is LITERALLY the only one doing work around here. She’s the one being my assistant character while you sit there just being a grumpy gus to everyone who ever loves you! >_< I take back what i said about you having a cute nerd character design! i hope he eventually does take the job, yknow? it sucks that he’s sacrificing his own career out of a sense of overprotectiveness to his sister. And that he’s so emotionally stunted that he cant even explain it properly to her without coming off like an absolute asshole. I think taking this job would probably be a very enriching experience for him! And I’m doing my best to teach Aroma how to be a good monster rancher, so I’m sure she’ll be fine. I’d actually love if she cameo’d in a later game or something as a secret super boss, like how Holly did in MR2!

* AWW YEAH JADE!! I love how after so long of struggling to even get one hit in, she’s suddenly able to stop struggling! i buffed her up so much so she could deal one hit KOs with that one move, and now she’s able to more reliably do one move, its really paying off. She even one hit KO’d another golem! O_O

* Jade managed to beat the B-Rank cup!!! I didnt think we’d even have enough time to get this far!! Oh phew, this means she can become a tutor when she retires. I just have to make sure to keep an eye on her and register for the tutor thing when it looks like her time is running out. Hell, I might even be able to beat the last few ranks and finish the whole game with my first monster! Jade is just that amazing!!!! Please stay forever, Jade!!!

* We just got invited to the three continent meet! I wonder if this means there will be cameos from Colt and Holly again? And we also got an invitation match to unlock more rare monsters and stuff! EVERYBODY IS EXCITED TO MEET JADE

* ilu jade

* sweet gentle rock child

* a casual cameo from Glados

* Jade reached the end of her time right after winning the Rank S tournement :) Thank you Jade... I love you lots, okay?

* However it seems like the GBA games have actually removed monster death, or at least softened it. Instead of getting a death scene, you just get a ‘your monster has reached its limit, it should go into retirement’. And then you can actually continue playing, you just get 0 points from training now and are stuck with the stats you achieved previously. I dunno if this means I can continue entering tournements with her, though? I might just let her rest every week til another tournement appears, and find out. But I’d feel guilty making her do tournements now, but still I know I couldnt beat the three continent meet if i had to raise a new monster now. It was really bad timing!! If possible, Jade, could you hang on long enough to meet Colt and Holly? You don’t have to win, even! I just want you to meet the nice assistants from the previous games, cos I’m so proud of you. GOD DAMN WHY DO I ALWAYS GET SO ATTATCHED TO MY MONSTERS

* YEAH, YOU CAN Man, thats kinda... completely broken??? I mean, I guess the idea is that cos you cant raise your stats higher you wont be able to progress anyway. But most of the time when i play, my monster never even gets a chance to reach its limit in the tournement. Dying before having the chance to play S-rank is usually my ultimate doom. i think if Jade can just keep on existing forever then i could eventually get lucky and beat all the tourneys, even without getting maxed out attack stat. SHES JUST SO AWESOME, YKNOW?? but it would be cruel to keep her working beyond her limit, even if the game lets me do it, it would just feel mean. I’m just gonna keep her here til the three continent meet. And I feel guilty enough even doing that... And i mean.. it would be kinda lame if I beat the game on the first try! This way I can raise another monster to aim for those final two ranks! And JAde can sit in the background of the tutor screen and smile :) I WILL MAKE YOU PROUD, MY CHILLLLLLLDDD

* Daww, shopkeeper Crow has a crush on the league receptionist! She was looking for cold medicine and he was really nice and helped her find the right medicine for free, and generally everyone was like ‘wtf where did mr grumpy go’ I hope there’s more random events with Crow, I wanna know more about him!

* A funny random event of Aroma suddenly NOT BICKERING WITH ZEST *dun dun dunnn* Right after Crow giving away free merchandise! Zest must think the world is coming to an end XD It was hilarious, but also I’m a bit grumpy at not-a-toupee man cos apparantly he told Aroma nobody would ever want to marry her unless she acted more submissive. Wtf dude, stfu with your stupid gender roles! Also.. like.. Aroma isnt even a tomboy character?? This is the first Ive even heard of her being ‘not ladylike’! She dresses eight times more femininely than every other assistant in the series, and I mean she doesnt act rough and tumble or hate cute things or anything?? Is she JUST supposed to be the ‘tomboy’ because she’s very self confident and doesnt take her brother’s bullshit? Am i supposed to be sympathising with mr jerk brother??? Funny event, but makes me think way too much about wtf the writers were thinking about this poor character... LITERALLY HER ONLY FLAW IS THAT HER CHARACTER DESIGN IS LAZY LEAVE HER ALONE HER PERSONALITY IS BEST SHE’S MY CHILD EVERYONE IS MY CHILD

* also its weird how inconsistant the translation is? There’s a lot of flaws and 90% of it is really flat and emotionless literal translation. But then this one event suddenly actually managed to keep good humour and wordplay! And her dialogue being overly formal WAS ACTUALLY A JOKE, when half of the game is usually that way! And they actually got text formatting right! THEY MADE A JOKE ABOUT TEXT FORMATTING!! I wish I’d taken a video of it, holy shit. Congratulations whoever translated these three paragraphs!

* Still waiting for the three continent match to show up... I’m worried now that maybe it doesnt appear if your monster is retirement age? So I’m waiting for nothing? In the meanwhile, Jade won two invitation matches to unlock monsters. the codes to get Zan and Joker are 98%SPEED and I forgot the code for Joker. But it seems you can redo the matches to get the codes again.

* JADE GAVE ME A PRESENT I FEEL BLESSED AAAAA I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT MEANS THOUGH LOOK AT THIS WEIRD COMPLICATED ITEM LOOK AT HOW SMART SHE IS FOR MAKING IT MY BABBBBYYYYYY
