How important is a "Evolution Mechanic" in Monster raising RPGs to you?

Thank you for making me remember Azure Dreams. I loved that shit and evolving monsters were a great thing to strive for. Also just straight up breeding different species.

Holy fucking shit, I can't belive I'm not the only human being that played that game! That game was amazing!! Too bad I never got too far in the game, I heard there was some dating sim elements, I could have improved my dating skills with it.

But I don't really care about the "evolving" mechanic. I rather have the other approach, the "fusion" mechanic present in the megaten games. It's more hardcore-y.

Also fuck Digimon 1, when I was a kid I would always get the one that was shaped like a piece of shit.

But were you hardcore enough to play it on Gameboy?
