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.

Numemon. Lolololololol. Very discouraging and off putting to get him. He means you met no requirements to get anybody else. Once you get your tamer rank high enough you see less of him.

I completely forgot about Azure Dreams. That game bothered me because you go back to level 1 everytime you leave dungeon.
