Your favorite "mon" series?

[SUPA FRANKY]

What is your favorite game or shows were you use monsters to battle other monsters and people? What is your favorite method of catching/collecting them?

Mine would be the Comps form Shin Megami Tensei, particularly Devil Survivor.

POKEMON!
I suppose with Pokeballs to catch.

Pokemon, I guess. I was really into it as a kid, and I maintain to this day that both the games and the cartoon series were of rather high quality. I always found Digimon to be really boring and banal, and I can't really think of any other, similar monster-collecting properties. Maybe "Medabots," but that was frankly pretty awful.

going to the local Wal-Mart and throwing nets over the obese people. It's all fun, until I run out of nets...

I like the old Pokemon episodes. The new ones are really crappy. I've watched the old ones on Youtube to confirm that they were, in fact, very good compared to the new episodes. It's not just nostalgia.

Pokemon, it basically got me into gaming.

 

[AloriD]

Pokemon and Digimon Season Four: Frontier.

 

[Blemontea]

Digimon, sure yeah when i was a kid i grew up the the Pokemon but now that im older im actually going back to Digimon.

Monster Rancher. all you need is a couple of CD's and you automatically spawn a monster that for some reason, follows you. Its not due to instant Loyalty either, because the Monster doesn't follow your commands until you've spent enough time with it for it to show loyalty and do as its told, placing its trust in you.

and i think its probably the closest "blood sport" game we'll get, to link it into your other Thread. Super Franky. Good choice by the way, Franky is way awesome.

 

[ShadowKatt]

Digimon. Everything else is just crap.

 

[Jindrak]

Digimon! Oh God the first two seasons of Digimon kicked so much ass.

 

[GonzoGamer]

Rasta-mon.
Sorry, I'm old.
I just had to.

 

[Jtar]

Pokemon I guess, though the older series with Misty.

 

[Thaius]

So far, Digimon Tamers (season 3 of Digimon). I haven't seen too many, I admit, but Tamers was by far the best one I've seen so far. Definitely a kid's show, but surprisingly mature and emotional later on, and it has some great concepts and premises.

 

[Marter]

Pokemon, easily. I still adore that series. ^_^

 

[Flamezdudes]

This...is...too...HARD!

Oh fine then! Pokemon, i've had more fun with that but Digimon still owns!

 

[Terminate421]

Pokemon, I got back into on Generation 4

Pokemon was great for the first few seasons, when the Pokemon looked cool and memorable and the anime was watchable. when I first heard of it I thought that Digimon would be some cheap knockoff. When I started watching it I was like "WTF Pokemon meets the Matrix?" *Brief moment of consideration* followed by "holy hell that's Awesome!". I always found the first three seasons to be far superior to anything Pokemon ever did, with an intriguing premise, better monster designs, better characters, actually competent villains, ect.

 

[laol1999]

i didnt know there were any other than pokemon and digimon
either way, pokemon is still my favorite

 

[captaincabbage]

I'll say Pokemon, because Yellow BLEW MY FUCKING MIND when I was a kid.

I'll give a mention to the anime Cardcaptors. I was addicted to it when I was a kid.
