....You by all means should know that your pokemon do, not you. That was a lame attempt....
The monster you fight don't level up, they don't have stats, and you kill them not capture them. Nor do you make monster fight eachother. You don't earn experience points, the closest thing that comes to it is Hunter points which is akin to Guild Level in White Knight Chronicles. It's an action game..... Everything is based on skill and weapons. If monster hunter is a RPG why don't we call God of War an RPG? You gain experience there and level up your weapon? |
There's no stats as you "level up" with a complex armor system, which is based on hides you reap from monsters you've killed. MoHun's basically a loot 'em up at it's core, like Diablo, PSO or the FFCC games, only much more skill based in the actual gameplay and directed in the mission structure.
In both MoHun and Pokemon you "level up" indirectly via other components, but both are directly based on battle result.
And according to Capcom USA, they're "action RPGs". I'd consider the game's publisher to be the most legitimate source here...
