No and it's probably for the best. After 2 they just got worse and worse.

IMO, 3 (besides lacking fusion), and the GBA/DS games were all fine.

It was 4 and EVO that took a shit on the Monster Rancher formula by trying to be JRPGs and killed the series with faggoty circus minigame bullshit.

Unfortunately we'll likely never see one again. I would have to wonder how they'd do it nowadays, considering that the day of the CD is past.

That's not correct use of the word "fodder".

2 was so good. It's a damn shame the series fizzled out.

There hasn't been a real Monster Rancher game since 2008.

>>377865654
the GBA ones are alrighty, you right
the shitty fucking board game errantry from the DS games as well as some other dumb thing about the battle system I can't recall made me hate it

I liked 4's ranching system more, I think the thing with 3 that rubbed me the wrong way was the style, it felt way too cutesy to me after the kinda dirty aesthetic of 1 and 2

>>377865672
like those "celebrity lookalike detectors", there could be a monster rancher monster generator based on your friends' profile pictures on normiebook which analyzes the picture and attributes to it a certain monster

I'm guessing something like this already exists

Yeah, they the GBA ones were serviceable.

I actually really enjoyed the card battle game too.

>>377865857
Yeah, I hear a lot of people cite the artstyle of 3 as the reason they didn't like it. I personally like the cute cel-shaded style though, and the graphics aged better for it.

4's ranching system was actually my main gripe with it, raising a bunch of dudes at once took away the sense of attachment you'd get while focusing on one monster at a time. At least that's how it felt to me.

>the shitty fucking board game
Damn, I forgot about that. Yeah that sucked ass. They didn't really change the battle system at all, besides adding the ability to defend, so I'm not sure what it might have been that put you off there.

If you can overlook the board game training and errantry controls being possibly bugged, I still think it's a passable final game. When the DS still had Wi-Fi, you could battle and fuse with random players (without needing friend codes, which all DS games seemed to shove down your throat back then). It was pretty fun. MRA2 had way more content, though.
