I have this game now... I seem to find the basic ones to be rare, and the lame pokemon type as common as possible in this game. Even with rare monsters unlocked!
@littledudes321 Actually Monster Rancher is bounds more difficult. They are capable of cheating, getting spoilt, a time limit in battle, "Guts" needing to be waited for instead of readily available PP, monsters becoming old/injured/stranded, we don't have to explore the continent though, etc etc. Mind you I'm a fan of both games. By the way I hate it when people say anything remotely raising a monster is a "Pokemon ripoff". Real mature. :T
Here's an interesting thing to note: This game is actually a port of the original sequel to the first Monster Rancher which was only released in Japan... with updates made specifically for the DS, of course. Just thought this was an interesting thing to point out.
No exact date on the release but it's set for March 2010. Preordering bonus probably not, well nothing confirmed yet. Your local gamestore might know.
This brings me back in the old days. Waking up in the morning to watch the anime and if I felt like it I would play monster rancher one. It was also fun being all excite for the coming of the second one. Good times, good time....
the or the game couse the r4 lets you play roms (ds games) on the ds from any region i got the r4 from a websight dealetreme its worth it couse it lets you download free ds games on ds the games you download from websites like romulaton
Yeah...^^; The only thing I can suggest, which is a longshot, is to find the acual and play it on PS2 or something. There is one monster I know you probably wouldn't need a disk to get, but with the saving thing it would probably be a problem trying to keep it. That would be phoenix. If you need help with that, send a Message my way!
im sooo sorry but its not going to come to enlgland or canada its staying in japan its a shame to becouse it looks awsome but u can always just get it off ebay but its in japanice bye
translation to english plz? lol anyway would i just learned about monster rancher i'm thinking aout getting it when it comes out,would u suggest it to a novice monster rancher?
It looks good! But since I have no idea when it will be comming out or if it is comming out in the US, I suggest trying to find an oldschool copy of Monster Rancher 2, to see if you like the series or not. It's a great game. More matured than Pokemon I always thought
Did you know theres a monster rancher mmorpg called monster farm with a IP block so no one can get in? :D and also you can use this DS game to use codes for the MMO.....great huh? sure is! NOT! GOD DAMMIT WE GOTTA WAIT LIKE EFFING FOREVER FOR IT 2 BE IN USA.....THE MMO IS STILL IN BETA TESTING AND THE DS GAME AS U CAN SEE STILL INSNT JSDFIJFIOSDGJO IN USA FUDGE -.-....
i think they should make a mr for the psp, use can use disks, trade with friends, and you can use word like mr advance, and they could put more detail because the psp can handle more graphics than the ds
Dude this game better come out for the US!!! cuz they made MRA and MRA2 for gba so they should ahve 1 for ds as well i would really love to play it and the ones ps1 and ps2 where awsome!!!!! i own all of them exept EVO cuz i could not find it TT i just hope it comes out in english!!!! XD
last i heard on this game peeps just for everyone too now i read something saying that not only will you be able too draw monsters but put in gba games and gets monsters cause they wanted t get back too the original format and away from the typing words thing and also you can make sounds into it too make monsters hopefully it comes too the US cause ill be first in line lol
Currently. It could change. And I sure hope it does. There's already an established franchise for MR here and so if Monster Farm DS sells well in Japan, we just may see it. Then again, there's a LOT to translate, especially with the word prompts to regenerate, so... best we can do is hope.
Interesting... Dragon Quest Monsters/Pokemon fan here. I'm looking into getting the PS1 original of Monster Hunter... apparently it's a decent, underrated game with a cult following, and I can dig that. :p
You can draw something (not necessarily the monster, but a symbol to get it, akin to typing in a password in MRA and MRA2), or you can use sounds. You can also use GBA cartridges.
So far, no. Hopefully it will be released in the US. If you liked Monster Rancher Advance, I urge you to play Monster Rancher Advance 2. From what I know (haven't played the first) they look similar, and MRA2 was really fun. The best game in the series, in my opinion, is Monster Rancher 2 for the PS1, but that's difficult to get anymore. 4 is good too, 3 was okay, and so far I'm not pleased with EVO. The first MR was good, but it's even harder to get now, I'm sure.
My fave was 3. EVO was terrible, and 4 was a bit confusing... so... many... monsters... 2 Is awesome, but it froze up alot for me, never played 2, and MRA2 was waaay to easy once you get a Zan(got him to Champion in 3 hours.)

I thought 3 felt very... well, un-Monster-Rancher-y. If they had blended the new things introduced with some of the characteristics of 2, it would've been better, but they sort of just forgot about it all. Same thing with EVO, but at least what they went with in 3 was entertaining, whereas in EVO it really wasn't. I wasn't confused by 4; I love all the different types of monsters and was glad they put combination back in. That, in my opinion, was 3's biggest weakness.
That would be great, although then I couldn't get it, as I don't have one. I kind of doubt it, however, as Monster Rancher has always stuck to the Playstation console (albeit Nintendo handhelds). If anything maybe they'll do one for the PS3 (which I still couldn't get xD). Hard to tell. Five is a lot of games; I've seen series fizzle out there. Hope they make more though.
i never got to see the ending to the season, did they catch that girl's dad, and abc family sux compared to fox family. wtf, who the f*** let them go out of business for that branch, f*** them.
