>>50365633yes, I actually gave up pokemon for a game with a darker story and had a monster collection aspect as a side game after gold. I realized it came out the same year as r/g in japan, and I have never touched a mainline game since.

It had a better story, music, characters, just everything
In terms of darkness, it shouldn't go darker than dragon quest or disgaea
ideally I would like a game like pokemon special manga with a set party, with a much better story ,music and something different from the same shitty models they have been using for a decade.
We got that in mystery dungeon,.but still.
