/vr/ Alternatives To Pokemon

[Anonymous No.6084454]

Since the most recent shitshow that is Pokemon: Sword/Shield largely ruin my outlook on the future of the series, I've decided to look for other monster/creature-themed RPG's to play instead. Can you guys give me any good recommendations?

Digimon never really seemed to be up my alley, but I' haven't fully shot down the idea of trying some of the games. Others like Medabots, Robopon and even Telefang have sort of grabbed my attention, but I don't know if they're any good, or if translations and the like are available for them.

megaten games are an obvious choice

Dragon Quest Monsters on GBC
For Digimon the closest thing to something like Pokémon is World 3 and the NDS games along with Cyber Sleuth
Not Retro but Spectrobes and Fossil Fighters

Mainline DQs too, mainly 5.

Monster rancher and dragon quest are good.

This doesn't look bad at all, when was this game released?

[Anonymous No.6085369]

>>6085135
In 2000 for GBC. Japan only though.

I'd recommend the SMT series, since it has that "monster collecting" thing you are already familiar with, but actual challenge and dark story

Here your pokemon alternative

The first 5 gens of pokemon games were actually really good. They only started getting bad and bland with the 3DS and beyond.

I am in your situation and recently I have started playing Cyber Sleuth complete. I'm also totally planning to play Digimon World 1 and 3, to keep this retro. Also, I'm gonna watch Our war game. I've been totally caught up by your quarter-life nostalgic wave.

When I was a kid I used to do that, infact.
It was fun, but now I am not as creative and persistent, moreover I would embarass myself and stop before long. Growing, I guess.

Not all that far off finishing Persona series (few spinoffs, bad endings and Sin/Punishment to go) and want to play more Megaten
Does order make/break anything at all? Really interested in Nocturne, also really wanted to play Nine but no translation and I've given up hope

[Anonymous No.6086662]

Nocturne is real 10/10, you will love it.

>the future of the series
Then why are you asking for recommendations of dead series nobody gives a fuck about and won't be getting any new games in the first place.
You zoomers need to learn how to think---for yourselves, and period.

Gee I dunno, maybe because I like older games? Presumably just like everyone else on this board? I can't ask around for more modern titles because:
A. This isn't the board for it.
B. Most modern games almost always seem to lack at least one or two things I look for in these sort of games, which detract from my overall enjoyment of them.
C. I can't ask for opinions/recommendations on /v/, because the entire board is constantly shat up by elitist cunts like you.

Call me buzzwords all you want, but if you think your age is some mark of maturity, then take the time to actually fucking act like it, you goddamn fossil.

Again, let me spell it out for you zoomer:
These old games have no future except Digimon.
If you were looking for old games, then that's that, even though you could just replay Pokemon ones. But they are not alternatives to Pokemon games getting worse.
>the entire board is constantly shat up by elitist cunts like you
And these are shat up by newfags like you who don't even know archives exist, let alone imagine your very same question has already been answered dozens of times over before.
>age is some mark of maturity
It has nothing to do with 'maturity', zoomer. You'll always be a zoomer no matter how old you get.

>These old games have no future except Digimon.
You really think I care? Based on what I've heard, most of them are decent enough to stand on their own as singular games. I don't give a flying fuck if they're a full series or not.
>And these are shat up by newfags like you who don't even know archives exist, let alone imagine your very same question has already been answered dozens of times over before.
If you genuinely believe that I, or anyone else for that matter, are willing to sift through the archive for answers to one question (which may or may not have even been answered at all within said archive), then you've either got more time to waster than almost anyone else on this board, or are legitimately braindead.
>You'll always be a zoomer no matter how old you get.
Buzzwords aren't exactly a replacement for an actual argument, you know. And even if they were, I'd rather be a zoomer for the rest of my life if the opposite meant becoming an egotistical prick like you're proving yourself to be.
