All these people arguing about DGM and Pokemon should know that neither of them came first, it was actually Shin Megami Tensei to first include the "Mon" genre of games. Not only only that, Creatures, who used to be known as Ape originally worked on the Mother series which started out as a parody of Dragon Quest, so Pokemon, in a way, is Mother's DQM(Just with its own monsters.). But who cares about who came first, they're both great games, now just listen to music.
Just like how FF is FF and DQ is DQ. Sure one has a more enhanced battle system than the other, but they're meant to do different things, and thats what people don't understand.
it does more than just "rip off" pokemon. it beats pokemon by miles. compare DWM1 to the version of pokemon that was out at that particular time. i guarantee it wins.
unfortunately for pokemon fans, its all in the nostalgia. pokemon doesnt stand a chance against enix. they have akira toriyama. youd have to be stupid to think pokemon had a chance against akira toriyama and enix combined.
@Celtalian ... Yet Pokemon is far more popular than Dragon Quest. Even in Japan. We're not stupid. You're the one not seeing reality. Though I love the DQ series with a passion, I know it can't stand with Pokemon. Also, you call us stupid, but you saying that DQ > Pokemon because of Akira Toriyama doesn't make you smarter
both pokemon and DQM are amazing. the thing i like about pokemon is that they are trade and transferable between games DQM aren't :( you know how badass it would be to use your monsters from joker in another DQ game like say DQIX. it would be awsome beating the crap out of a legacy boss with a slime king . and since in DQIX they made it all custom based it could have worked with some good tweaking
guys, shut up about which came first! I really don't care if pokemon or DQ Monsters came first, it's nothing to worry about! don't flame on this, take it somewhere else.
You have to be a pretty huge moron to confuse what I was saying. What I stated was that it is impossible for Creatures to have stolen the idea of training/catching monsters from Enix, as the idea for the game existed pre-Dragon Quest V. Seeing as Enix LOVES money, and that Dragon Warrior Monsters came out after a long enough distance between Red/Green's initial release, it is obvious that they copied the idea of catching/training your very own monsters. Did you even read what I was writing?
Cobi's Journey was the shit when I was little, I still have the cartridge and it still works and everything. I can't decide whether I like this or Pokemon more, they're both just so awesome!
Let me help you decide. Pokemon is, and will always be, better than this extension of the original franchise. Pokemon is possibly the best RPG of all time, and it is undeniably the most in-depth. This game is not nearly as in-depth.
Well, Pokemon OBVIOUSLY didn't copy Dragon Quest, but Dragon Quest did copy the Pokemon franchise in one regard. It tried to capitalize on its success. It probably worked, too.
Gamefreak's Pokemon development team is called "creatures". This name came out during the development of Pokemon, which was inspired by the ability to catch and train monsters when Tajiri first saw the gameboy. This was before 92, during the '80s as someone pointed out.
Dragon Quest saw Pokemon's success and then made Dragon Warrior Monsters.
No, you don't understand. They capitalized on it after Pokemon. They were not planning to make a game based entirely around catching and training monsters.
you idiot, It was also released before pokemon. It was based on the ability to catch monsters in anotehr dragon quest game, And made a game entirily based on that to pleople who like to catch and train and care for monsters. NOT POKEMON. if we didnt know better, Pokemon maybe made just to copy dragon quest.
You didn't even read what was said, idiot. "Creatures" existed before '92, which is when that particular Dragon Quest game came out. The Pokemon Development group - then Creatures, was alive during the '80s, with all the ideas for Pokemon. It came first. NOT DRAGON QUEST. If you knew better, Pokemon inspired Dragon Warrior Monsters, which copied Pokemon.
My comment was released over a month ago! I have been finished about thta argument. who cares? theyr both good. What if i say, WOW copyed the first rpg evre made, or every single action movie is a rubbish copy of the first one ever made? its all the same. there is tons of games where u capture and train. It GOT to start somewhere. Why dont we just say that youtube is a copy of a video player? u get it? It doesnt matter who copyed what, but if it is good enought to be played,watched or used.
This attempted to capitalize on the success of Pokemon. That is blatantly obvious. And no one is saying that it matters or not, or it's not good enough to play - it is being said that Pokemon inspired these spin-off of Dragon Quest.
>.> Its not all spinnofs u kno, this game is based on the ability to catch monsters in Dragon Quest 5. and it was a remake of Dragon Warrior 1 and 2. Dragon warrior is old dragon quest and is for GBC. It was even better than the first pokemon game. like all the monsters in the group actually followed u. and it had a story. pokemon has the same story all the way. and its moar.
Pokemon's main demographic, whether it be Japan of America, is teens to early 20-year-olds. In other words, people who have been following the game series since the beginning in 1998.
Saying that Pokemon is for 8-year-olds is like saying Mario and Zelda are too. It's already a classic. Only little kids think it's for little kids, but they only fill up a portion of the demographic.
Everyone in your school played the game when they were kids. Those who stopped associate it with childhood. Those who didn't, will not.
Pokemon's target audience varies with Japan and America. Japan appeals to nostalgia, which may include 20-year-olds. America appeals to teenagers. Children make up a small percentage of the gaming community, but merchandise is targeted to children.
i got all those monsters right there on the game cover and i almost killed thje number1 ranked person in regional and global team jessica but she got lucky cause we both had one monster left and her hawkhart ace was about to die if i did one more hit but my cluboon ace started making dumb moves im like just punch it it started doing "hatchet man" even though it did 0 damge he still kept doing it so i changed the tatic to show no mercy and he had like 556 hp left and all of sudden a critcal hit.
wild card is the strongest, but you cant get it unless you hack. so the strongest is diamongon ace, the blue dragon in the upper left corner. er right. lol.
First of all he was asking about which form of the Incarnus is stronger. Second, you can't get Empyrea unless you have or see all monsters which means you also have to already have or see Empyrea herself to obtain her. Therefore it is only possible to obtain Empyrea during a promotional event.
What I don't understand is people say "This game sucks because it's a Pokemon rip-off." Could anybody do me a favor and PLEASE tell me how this rips off Pokemon?
2 people think pokemon is the only monsters game.

actually no, your very wrong there.
pokemon: 1998
dragon quest 5: 1992

you can keep dreaming, but pokemon was inspired by dragon quest

Pokemon was being worked on in the 80s. It did not take an obscure feature from a 5th game in a series.
TolaMacarino 2 years ago 8
i can see a flame war beginning here. my point is that dragon quest did not copy pokemon.
dragon quest 5 came out with the feature of capturing monsters. then another game dragon quest monsters came out, based on the feature of dq 5.
then came dq2,3 and then this game - dragon quest monsters joker
anyway, lets stop arguing and agree with the fact that both games are excellent in their respective genres and neither copied each other.
