Monster Rancher Cards

Not sure if this is the right place, guess I'll try. I aquired these in a lot of cards I just purchased. Do they have any value? Is anyone here interested? I'll probably post on eBay and see if they get any interest if not.

Gatekeeper Picture

Hey Everyone!

I made another picture. This time, it's a Dragon/Garu mix, the Gatekeeper! I do apologize for the weird colors, but I hope you all enjoy, nonetheless.

My ideas for the next Monster Rancher.

Character creation would be awesome. I was thinking maybe even multiple playable characters, walking around town, can take monsters to battle stuff like that. Like you decide which character does the tournament. Some you create some preset in game you recruit. With different bonuses. You should be able to level up and pick different abilities, traits, or/and bonuses for each of your tamers. An example is like recharges guts 1-20% faster leveling that up too. Crit chance, special abilities given when using that tamer like Grit.

Want ability to jump tournament ranks whenever you want if you've already cleared that rank with a monster. Dislike how 4 did it. Can simply do the promotion tournament. Would also like the option to fight up to 3 ranks above and quickly promote. Junk tourneys you know you will win are not fun for me, is a time waste. And/or also us to assign tamers that help us to do tournaments for us. Maybe only allow assisting tamers to auto battle tournaments for us if we have already beaten that rank with a monster before. Could level and able to set up auto battle tactics for tamers. Do not allow assisting tamers to do adventures for us. Should NOT be allowed to 100% automate the game. Also maybe you have to pay some of the winnings for them to do tournaments for you.

Combination system - Should be able to get any monster from all the main and sub breeds. You should have a choice.

Keep the stat cap changes from Monster Rancher Evo. Or even make them higher and the next game much longer.

I want adventure mode way expanded. I like how MR Evo was taking steps there. Way more adventures, bosses, things to do and explore. Even maybe able to capture monsters. However the downside is the monsters you capture are old and have lower stats than they should for their age. So only used for combination basically.

They could make such an amazing game that could do so well. Would allow 100s of hours of fun. I really hope a rebooted Monster Rancher comes.

Allow setting a schedule/set up for training and it just happening.

It would be so interesting you choose which country you start in with different play styles, tournaments.

If the game auto saves when breeding then you should be able to choose which monster you get. If you pick random then you get bonus stats.

Having trouble loading save

Power went off, and now keeps saying "data loading failed". Is It over or is there anything to do?

Raising a colorpandora (dice) as my second monster and need some tips.

Basically I'm following the 3x drill and 1x rest + mint routine. What I'm wondering is when I should be training each stat. While it's a baby I've been doing life and speed, and when it hits prime stat gain id like to work on powe lr and skill so I can do errantry for kamikaze and the other good tech, I think it's double swing but I can't remember. I looked for some advice and I found the helpful moosebones video, I just need a little more guidance. Thanks. Dice is so cute and sweet. We named him Snoozle.

Raising Advice

Jell/Monol from research Ive done some sub species of Jell have good defense stat gains and Im playing on the 1.01 version of the game will the Jell speed stat bug work with the type of Jell I want to have? Im using to combine later but need an idea of what stats mostly to focus on with this sub breed

Need advice

So my gf has never played monster rancher before and so I asked if she would like to pick from my dvd collection to summon a monster in MR Evo. She said ok I'm hoping it'll prompt her to want to try it herself as my knowledge is a bit limited. I have all the mainline MR games n just trying to pick a good one to start her out on.

Favourite to least favourite monsters to train in Monster Rancher 2?

I have only played Monster Rancher 2.
My favourites are Hare, Henger, Durahan, Phoenix, Zuum

I kinda also like Undine

For Zilla (the whale) the one mixed with Tiger is good, and Jills (the yeti) Hoppers, Katos, Worms, Beaclons, Jells, Mews are ok. Golem mixed with Metalner or Tiger are good due to their better stats in skill And guts regen. Bajarl, the genie, is ok as well.

I don’t think Joker, Gali and Dragon are that special to be honest due to their low lifespan.

On the other hand I hate Wracky and Suezo cause they make really annoying noises.

I am just not interested in Mocchi, Tiger, Plant, ColorPandora, Niton, Baku, Naga and Pixie.

'Xena: Warrior Princess' was one of my all-time favourite shows growing up and I am relieved and thrilled to have turned her likeness into a mix. 😁

My best monster yet

I've been playing MR2 since I was a kid. After finally learning the combining tricks from Game FAQs, this was my best result. Started with various arrowheads and golems to a beast of a Dagon. Combined that with Durahan in the end to create The Mountain. He now only fights for silver peaches. Just wanted to share, since this is still my favorite game 20+ years later. Happy ranching everyone!

Anyone has any idea why the MonsterRancher series is discontinued? And also on its visual design principles regarding the Monsters? Planning out a game MonsterRancher like...

Hi, was monster rancher enjoyer when I was young, and now that I have the ability to make games...

Currently planning to do a monster-rancher-like card game where you:
get monsters -> get cards based on their progress -> you can mix and match some cards from one monster to other monsters -> arena -> dungeon where you can build a team of 3 monsters and the deck is compiled together; maybe include fusion and some of the training mechanics as well...

But as i'm plotting it out i'm curious as to why we don't have MR games anymore? And also realized that their design is very distinct compared to pokemon, but can't quite put my finger on what the actual guidelines are...

Very thankful for any input!

Hare/Fairy glitched?

Monster with Non_regular Growth Rate

I checked LegendofCUp's database and it seems it is possible to generate kaiju with non-standard growth rate from some music.

When using them as fusion material, do I use their non-standard growth rate for calculation, or do I just use the standard of their species (subxmain) ?

Troron

Can someone explain exactly how Troron works?

I’ve seen it as:

-“+10 POW and +5 SKI on successful drills for the next 4 weeks, -6 Lifespan”

-“Using it adds 10 points to Power and 5 points to Skill stats, but also takes an average of 10 weeks off of your monster's Lifespan.”

-“+10 Pow, +5 Ski. (lasts for four weeks) -10 weeks lifespan”

However, I used it on a monster and I didn’t see any additional gains.

My stats didn’t increase.

I tried the Study drill to see if I would get the increase from just any drill. Just +1 INT

I tried the Shoot drill. Just +4 SKI.

I tried the Domino drill. Just +5 POW.

So, is there something I am not understanding?

Silver Peach Tournament

Since errantry’s seem to cut the monsters life span drastically Ive been getting base attacks early as possible to get to about the off set point of 5-8 months old so i can start training without worrying about failing too often. So far the results have been fairly good my oldest monster was Durahan S class that shredded the big 4 and Hollys White Suezo but for some reason I couldn’t get the senior cup tournament invite and had to retire it. What am I missing? I have the highest breeder rank. Fully upgraded everything is there something I’m over looking
