Okay to clarify what I mean by a mons game is a game ( generally RPG ) where you recruit from the enemies you face new party members, level them up and often evolve them into stronger forms.

These are your Digimon's, your Shin Megami Tensei's , Yo Kai watches and the juggernaut that dominated the 90's/00's.

Monster Rancher!!!!

Oh yeah and Pokemon .

The reason I am singling out this genre of games is due to the high amount of customization these games offer and odd storylines to react to.

Say something like Dragon Age or Mass Effect there is maybe 12 ( if that) party members that you can play off in the main party.

A mons game allows for plenty of comedy options.

He could react in Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne to crazy crap like the world being destroyed in the first half a hour, being confused how a skeleton Matador is slaughtering him or why he is fighting a giant Robot Angel.

Or Digimon Cyber Sleuth (Arguably the best Digimon game) justifying which affront to God and Science he chooses as his starter, complaining why the mysterious white haired pretty boy gets the Cyborg Dinosaur but he doesn't or asking if the digital Cyberspace is the poor mans OZ from Summer Wars.

I dont know call me crazy but if I had the money for a game request I think it would be a funny review or reviews to see.

I always wondered how Chuck knew about Pokemon, tbh, because I won't lie, the thought of Chuck, the badass sci-fi reviewer with a habit of snarking and being high-minded, playing those cute little "catch 'em all games!" or watching the anime, just makes my world feel complete.

It would surely be interesting. Then again I do love me some Persona. Basically only reason why I played Cyber Sleuth was because it looked like Digimon version of Persona but without social links and dating chosen waifu.

I think the pop media culture made it imposible not to know a little about pokemon.
