whats the best monster collector?

well /v/?

I had the most fun with Siralim.

I like Monster Sanctuary

Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2. FACT. Yo-Kai Watch 3 is great too.
While we are on this subject, what is more important to you? Viability or Uniqueness? In my opinion, the people who play a game where a selling point is the large number of different characters you can put in your party, and then want all of them just to be glorified skins, are morons and should be mocked.

ive been wanting to play one of these, whats so good about this one?
>what is more important to you? Viability or Uniqueness?
Ideally you would have both so uniqueness with some customization so if a monster you you like is shit you can still get it to be usable

Exactly. Otherwise the game just devolves into a meta where everybody is using the same thing from a small pool of viable endgame monsters.

Breeding autism, the size mechanic is great, and Joker 1 was slow as fuck.

That's only if the game is balanced like garbage.

>Viability or Uniqueness?
Monster Sanctuary managed to pull off everything being both viable and unique. While you can't just pick three random monsters and expect to win, you can easily pick any one monster to build your team around.

Too bad the designs are boring as shit, which is where most of the indie ones fail imo

>>724605939
Yeah, definitely the weakest part. I still think the gameplay makes up for it, but I can see how someone that plays creature collectors purely for the creatures might bounce off the game.

Whichever one has the sexiest monsters. Sprites don't count. 3d models don't count. Fanart doens't count. I want to see them dance.

>>724606140
I mean might as well play a regular rpg that has a couple cool characters if none of the monsters are appealing, at least thats my outlook

>>724606148
So, Palworld

for me it's jade cocoon 2

>>724604726
Viability but to an extent. I want there to be "basic" monsters that are there to flesh out the world and exist but they're not viable unless you use an Everstone equivalent to do so and even then they're not all viable. It pretty much makes it so that there's ultimately more stuff that can work or synergize in the end instead of only making final evolutions or endgame monsters the best.

ok pokefag

>>724608046
wrong

The unfortunate redpill is Pokemon is better than like 90% of the genre even accounting for the shittiest games in the series
Pokemon romhacks bring that up to 99%

>>724603141 (OP)
Pokemon Yellow, followed by GSC

>>724603141 (OP)
SMT
not V though

Tamagotchi

>>724603141 (OP)
Idk about best but palworld has been a lot of fun

>>724609512
Romhacks are gay. They're just an excuse for even the Pokemon fans with some semblance of a backbone to still hole up in their Pokemon bubble and never try another RPG.

>>724605939
It's also Western Indie Pixel Metroidvania #4000000. Just more effortless, templated slop for the content mill.

Green = worth playing
yellow = you might like it
red = shit, not worth your time

never played that Kingdom Hearts game

>>724610135
If Pokemon haters actually played other RPGs themselves those games would have better sales, but in reality they hate the genre itself which is why the only breakout success in ages has been Palworld.

>>724611135
meanwhile SMT V sold much more than the usual for the series

>>724603141 (OP)
Monster Rancher isn't a collector.
