>>38514307I'll only talk of those which I played and it's completely possible that you don't know about :
>Invizimals 1 for the PSP is a Spanish developed AR mon game, mals in this case, with an interesting concept "what if there really were monsters under your bed?" and unique creature designs. You must look around your house with your PSP camera to trigger encounters and hunt Invizimals with a different method for each species, then you can fight with them in 1v1 AR battles. The mechanics are simple but fun and it's not a game you can play in a single sitting since certain mons appear at specific times of the day.>Shaman King "legacy of the spirits": Sprinting Wolf and Soaring Hawk for GBA, a Shonen version of demikids but very much it's own thing since it's based on an stablished manga.>Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters, also for GBA, if you like gambling, GBA 3D graphics and strategy RPGs this game is for you.>Digimon Digital Monsters ver.S (Sega Saturn) or Wonder Swan. Both are upgraded versions of the original V-pet line with the addition of being able to buy and raise multiple monsters at the same time and CPU battles but both have pros and cons: the former is full colored with original artwork by akiyoshi hongo but only has Japanese text and the latter is monochrome pixel art renditions of official art but has an English translation (pic related).>Digimon Anode/Cathode V-dramon special version are the only story based wonder swan color digimon games with English translation, if you're interested in Survive you might as well give it a try.>Both Duel Masters by Atari/Wizards/Hasbro for GBA are in essence a Pokemon TCG GB spiritual successor since DM is just a MTG spin off with creature evolution and Weeb friendly aesthetic. By no means these are better than the real thing because just with the game only human character designs you can easily be put off.
