>we live in the timeline where pokemon survived and the DQM series died
such a travesty
DQM2 in 2001 had more depth to its breeding, training, movesets, and battling than the newest pokemon games in fucking 2016

Stay mad faggot
>>385904050
that's because only people over 25 play it
>>385904050
>it took pokemon 7 generations of games across 4 different handhelds before the formula was finally changed up
>every DQM is different from the previous game
The people have spoken, they want the same game over and over.
>DQM died
>got a rerelease of the third game
It didn't die, we just stopped getting localizations
>>385905989
>game doesn't release in the west
So it's dead.

DQM designs look like actual monsters you fight in an RPG (because they are).
Pokemon in generally look like friendly creatures you would want to keep around. It's not surprising.
>>385904050
Designs in the Dragon Quest games suck DICK, that's why. Just look at your pic. It's classic Toriyama garbage.
>3 eye types: perfectly round circle with tiny pupils in the middle, "glaring" angry eyes that are basically a single color entirely, and tiny black dots
>half of them look like Dragon Ball monster rejects
>reskins out the ass, we don't need a slime, spotted slime, king slime, etc. stuff like slimes and spotted slimes are objectively shit compared to some of the higher up slimes so once you level up or progress far enough in the game they are worthless whereas pokemon can make anything viable with the right team
>>385904050
>no Western releases of Rocket Slime 3 or the remakes of DQM 1 and 2
>not even digital only releases to cheapen the cost
>>385904050
>DQM2 in 2001 had more depth
WHO GIVES A SHIT.
Pokemon has remained a staple, because design philosophy and keeping to their audience. Manchildren mad about Pokemon should really consider suicide.

Well, to be fair, the remake of DQM1 was absolute gobshite.
>>385907962
What was so bad about it? It looked like the same game but 3D and with Joker mechanics.
it wasn't depth, it was just shitty game mechanics
>>385907861
the only reason for 85% of the Dragon Quest Monsters roster to exist is to be bred into something better
each class (slime, beast, bird, dragon, etc) has 2-3 AT MOST monsters that are the only thing to breed for
If I recall correctly the zombie class in dragon quest monsters 2 had 1 single good monster and that was it.
>>385908567
Any monster can be good in the DQM games since you can have any abilities on any monster via breeding. You can have a Slime with maxed stats and have Quad hits, Fullheal, Explodet, TwinHits, etc,
>>385909292
>Quad hits, Fullheal, Explodet, TwinHits
man i miss the weird engrish names of monsters and spells that DQ games used to have
>>385909769
>Dragon Warrior names
>relatively normal
>Dragon Quest names
>puns and onomatopoeia
Why? Was it the same for the JP versions? I remember reading about a rumor that all the puns and shit was because of the translator for DQ8 inserted them into the game and SE liked the idea so much they became the norm.
cannot stand the DBZ aestetics, every time i watch dragon quest it seems to see goku hidden somewhere
>>385905164
The breeding in DQM only turns all monsters into the same mush.
>>385904050
But DQM is very well and alive?in japan
>>385910184
The main character for DQ11 is literally future trunks after he gets out of the time chamber to fight cell. The ugliest haircut trunks or anyone in dragon ball has ever had to boot. I'm considering not getting the game at all because his design is just so fucking bad

What's super baby vegeta doing riding that horse?
