i played Monster Hunter Stories which promised to be a pokemon like game with the monster hunter monsters
i like a lot of those designs so i was looking forward to that game, but its weird
there was no catching, you found random caves with random eggs inside, and hatched those eggs to get random monsters
also battles were mostly rock paper scissors so the strategy was luck
also monsters became obsolete really quickly in a way that doesnt happen to pokemon, so you had to stop using monsters that you liked because it was only useful for that level, and gets out-statted in the next section
a monster collecting game thats not pokemon would need a catching mechanic thats as fun or better than pokemon, and would need a good roster thats mostly usable imo
