GRRR ok I keep hearing over and over and over again that Monster Hunter is exactly like Pokemon. It is the furthest thing from the truth. The only 2 things that bare any resemblance to pokemon at all is 1. ) Felynes look like Meowth....the little cat dude that was in team rocket. 2.) They both have monsters in the game....and almost everygame does

Pokemon: Everyone knows the story of pokemon......you capture pokemon, little cute monster, with your pokeballs.....level them up to in turn fight for you and capture larger pokemon that you can control. It's gameplay is an RPG format.

Monster Hunter: You yourself KILL, not capture (unless it's a capture missions which you do not use a pokeball or anything like it). The monster you are going after which is a huge fricken dragons and other various monsters but 80 percent of them are a type of dragon. When you kill the monster you carve body parts off the creature to create better equipment. You do not gain levels, you do not fight in an RPG format. You fight as if in a stylized action game without the jump ability.

As my friend Yoshi (yes i have a friend who's actuall name yoshi....no he is not a green dinosaur) says...the games arn't even similar if you combined the games you would be chasing after a charizard with huge f*kn sword.

 

Anyway i have that rant off my chest......but rawr play the game before even comparing them.

 

Please state where and who you've heard that from.

I'm sick of baseless accusations.

Monster Rancher is very much like Pokemon. EVEN the animes are very similar in style. In the US dubs I think Suezo (monster rancher) had the same voice actor as Meowth. Genki sounded a lot like Ash too.

Someone tried to have a game/anime equivalent to pokemon and it lasted a while too (though not very popular).

He's talking about "Hunter" not "Rancher"



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Terrorists! I'm telling you there are terrorists and you need to be afraid of them. Just remember, they're out there!

I'm sorry, but I can't believe you.  For some reason, I don't trust people with Kim Possible avatars.
