What's your favorite Collectible Monster franchise?
« on: July 07, 2010, 11:53:08 AM »

I'd like to know which one's the most popular, INCLUDING the cartoons. This is so people who've never played the games but liked the show can vote. Also, if I've forgotten your favorite off-brand monster show, well, meh.

I think, for me, Medabots struck the right balance. They knew that the concept of kids fighting with killer robots was goofy and rolled with it.

It was a tossup between digimon and monster rancher.

I was pretty sure I wouldn't have anything to say in this thread, then I remembered I am completely gay for Shin Megami Tensei.

(No I am not putting it in "obscure knockoff", the first game predates Pokémon by like four years.)

Pokemon, for staying classy despite its fans and not stooping to sexualizing its monsters over its 10-year-old protagonists.

I quite like the Shin Megami Tensei games. Instead of adorable electric mice and koala fuzzies, you summon ancient deities like Thor.

Also: the Jade Cocoon games.

As much as I can see the creativity value in making colorful shit up, there's just a fascinating, unique weight in how SMT digs in actual mythology, involves beings people once believed in (and in some cases still believe in), and walks a fine line between reinterpreting it all as a modern melting pot and simultaneously playing almost everything with a straight face. Yes, the fertility goddess is covered in tits. In a way, it's comical and incongruous, but if you look at it another way, well, she was covered in tits.

I'm pretty sure they took some license with Maru, though.

Dragon Quest Monsters and Shin Megami Tensei are good, but Pokemon is the best there is at what it does.

It's Shin Megami Tensei.

And Persona is part of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise.
