Just curious - did any of you guys play this on the Gameboy?
I poured just as many, if not more hours into this game than my Pokémon red. Absolutely amazing game. I remember thinking it was like Pokémon but better - but couldn’t convince my friends to get into it.
The sequels and 3DS versions are pretty good, but the nostalgia of the original is too good. Currently replaying this.
You played the monsters spin-off too? It’s so good. The breeding and combining of different monsters is what sets it apart from Pokémon. Shame it didn’t take off in the same way as Pokemon did.
Put so many hours into that game. I always wanted someone else i knew to get it so could breed with them to only lose 1 monster instead of the 2 everytime, hated losing 2 and then getting 1 i already had.
I remember the tree growing and having to find what new path had opened up
Glad to hear some other members played this. I poured hours into these games, and filled a notebook with breeding combinations. I remember spending weeks, possibly months on breeding the boss line, especially DarkDrium. That one sucked cos you had to give up Watabou.
I loved that game. I remember the hours played counter actually capped at 99:59. I’m sure I went countless hours beyond that training on Metabbles to breed all the boss family monsters (and get the best stats possible by getting higher + ratings).
