    The weird thing is that this, Digimon and Pokemon all started within a span of two years.
    Not sure who's ripping off who but they did it really damn quickly.

    • @Revolver_Otacon
      @Revolver_Otacon 9 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      I know very little about Digimon, but it's well known how Pokemon came into being. Pokemon came out a year earlier, but IIRC early Digimon was very little like Pokemon, so it might be fair to say that it "ripped it off" over the years to become more similar.

    • @99sins
      @99sins 9 ปีที่แล้ว +61

      KittXenn There was no ripping off, the only real thing the two series had in common was the -mon at the end and the obvious having monsters in them as a result of said -mon title. While Pokémon was more human + pet/animal and was way more dependent on the main characters personalities, Digimon was more about living along side intelligent beings (they can even talk and have more personality than repeating their own name). I really found it weird that all the drama for ripping each other off was so... dumb. Even the evolution mechanic was completely different (well only to get a slap in the face afterwards with the whole "mega-evolution" thing)

    • @wisteria2909
      @wisteria2909 9 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      ***** There was no ripping off by any means. To fill in the blanks, Digimon originally debuted as virtual toys inspired by and similar to the Tamagotchi brand which released in 1997 by Bandai. While Digimon took the V-pet route, Pokemon debuted on the GameBoy as a full game based on collecting and battling, not necessarily raising a "pet".
      Even the more recent seasons of Digimon are nothing like Pokemon. With the points mentioned by 99sins, season 2 expanded on this adding the element of Digimon slavery, armor digivolution through eggs and DNA digivolution combining the data of two Digimon to form a new one. Season 3 tied in with the existing TCG, introducing Digi-Modify which could enhance a Digimon's abilities or grant special items by swiping a card and adding it to their data. Season 4 saw the digidestined themselves transforming into Digimon through Spirit Evolution. Season 5 saw the creation of an organization whose purpose was to conceal the digital world and digimon from the human world and settle related conflicts privately. Season 6 takes notes from Season 2, this time with fusions between more than 2 Digimon. In my humble opinion, Digimon adapts and allows its audience to grow with new characters. Aside from season 6 which reverted to a lighter and younger tone, the original 5 seasons progressed in both seriousness and storyline with the plots become darker. Pokemon sticks with Ash as the never aging protagonist and tends to remain with light, younger plots and bright colors to retain their core audience.

      99sins I never really noticed that before, maybe I was too trusting of the fanboy wars.
      Trusting the fanboy wars at all is generally a bad idea.

    • @SpaceHamsterGames
      @SpaceHamsterGames  9 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Yeah I'm not sure, I think it's possible that Pokemon came out first in Japan, but all those series of things came out within two-years of each-other, in a time when information didn't spread so quickly either. So nobody really cared.

    This game holds up TO THIS DAY; mostly from the sheer fact that CDs can be pretty hard to come by nowadays so finding a CD is actually like finding a disc stone in the show. Each monster has a bit more significance now that I have, like, 4 CDs in my entire house.

    You are SO right about the Grim death scene part, it scarred me. once, when I was a kid, My most beloved monster died, and the game showed Me how it died, My chest ache from that scene because the time, memories and effort I've gone through with it, disappeared forever (until I know what save files is LOL)...
    and then the Burial part came up, no joke, I'm literary crying, the song, the scene just hit right in the chest, feels like saying goodbye to a most precious friend I've ever had.
    and after that, I just shut down my PS1, feels bad about myself, thinking what have i done to that poor thing even when I'm going to sleep. then I never touched PS1 for like a couple of months or so because whenever I played it, I always remembered that one particular scene, Feels bad man.
    (And when I came back to play, It's grave just sitting there, in the back of the house, forever haunt me.)

      @@jaketucker2559 old comment I realize, but yes there was a ds version, and players unlocked monsters by either alphanumeric codes or drawn symbols via the touchscreen (once you unlocked a monster you could summon a carbon copy from a logbook similar to other series entries). There was also a gba version that used alphanumeric codes or book summoning. They called the things you get the monsters from "tablets" instead of "mystery discs" in-game in an effort to explain away not using cd's for the portable versions if I recall. Imo the tablet system was a little weird after being so used to the disc-based format, but it worked fine for cartridge-based games.

      I know, I think its probably because the game is rare, coming out at the peak of the virtual pet monster craze in the late 90's. I've seen copies online go up for pretty expensive prices, so I consider myself lucky to still have our copy after all those years!

    • @JoNarDLoLz
      @JoNarDLoLz 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      First time I saw my monster died, I immediately turned off my PS1 and ignored playing the game for a while (and by that I meant for 2 years... I never played it again after 2 whole fucking years) not just because I was sad about how my lil' Bunny, which is by far my favorite monster of all time, but also how it spooked me out. Though, that was me when I was 6 years old, I didn't really understand the concept between life and death, so it was a hard time accepting it.
      But now, I react in the most horrible way... "Oh my monster died... lemme unfreeze my other monster."

    • @The__Creeper
      @The__Creeper 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ***** The last Monster Rancher released in the US was Monster Rancher DS. The problem is that the summoning was lame. You drew monsters on the touch screen or did an incantation. The best part of Monster Rancher was finding random monsters in your collection of your discs. Your favorite CD may have produced a crap monster but you loved it anyways.
      They've tried to recreate this in the digital era, as in without discs, on the DS and Gameboy Advance. There's just no fun in just pushing buttons to get a monster. You might as well have been using a Game Shark on Monster Rancher 2.
      I suppose they could do it using IP addresses of websites or something but that's something more akin to Digimon.

    So much nostalgia from my childhod seeing this. I used to sink hundreds of hours into this game as a kid. It was even better since I learned about it from a friend so we could trade tips and battle our monsters. Once I even trained a monster that made it to the strongest cup in the game (a knight with phoenix mixed in). He did die a few weeks later, but when I saw the signs of dying I kept saving and loaded him alive to save him for some fights with my friends.
    I even used to play without CDs since at the time I couldn't understand english so I never knew what that CD-place did and always got a Mocchi since I just left the Monster Rancher 2 disk in. But an older friend of my friend knew it and so it got a lot cooler trying every CD in the house for cooler monsters, like the Express Worm.

    I Spent SOOOO much time with this game through my childhood and teen years. Monster Rancher 1, 2 and the card-game ones. I was obsessed. Never saw the franchise come back. It had really interesting mechanics for making your monster really seem autonomous and it's own independent creature. I do miss that XD

    Here is my guide: The Music CD: Big Fun Party Mix 3 contains the "Pheonix" monster, which is by far the strongest monster in the game.
    (It's technically a "Legendary Monster" by the standards of the Monster Rancher TV Show, as finding it was the entire purpose of the Series)
    Of course, you need to become an Official IMA trainer to be allowed to read the Disc, which is by far the hardest thing to do in this darn game >_>.

    The mint leaf and nuts oil is actually pretty fucking accurate when you start getting enough cash in, usually by taking some piece of shit you don't care about, always the first one because of course it is, and pushing the fucking thing fast enough to die and win as many fights as it can so you can get more monster unlocks.

    I think this is possibly my most favourite game ever - I loved borrowing other people's CDs and then writing a list of what monster and sub type and stat would come out.

      @enhasiac4153 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Betsy7Cat there was quite a few games that made you switch discs around, the music game you mentioned (vib-ribbon?) allowed you to put any music CD in and it would auto-gen a level for you, Dragon ball Z budokai tenkaichi 3 had its disc fusion to unlock game modes, and pretty much any PS1 RPG needed multiple discs to hold the full game ( like final fantasy VIII and its FOUR DISCS ).

    • @Betsy7Cat

      and yea as Jonard Lolz mentioned, GameShark was another disc to add to the mess, though i don't recall the processes of using it, when did you switch the discs around using that thing?

    I had this game growing up and invested A LOT of time in it. I remember once I went through every single CD in the house and wrote everything you got from each disc down. I was also scarred for life when my monster who was super successful (and admittedly fair old) died. I remember turning it off without saving so they'd be alive still and I think they died again so I ended up turning it off and never playing that save file again to keep them alive...
