On the ranching of various monsters

So I got a hold of a PS2 about a month ago when I found my copy of Monster Rancher 2.

I played that for a bit and got way into unlocking monsters.

Then I remembered that I could play the much better and more fun

It has more, cooler, monsters. And the colors are pretty.

I have a jungle dragon right now and I've only been through half my cds.

    Man putting in CDs to get monsters was a crapshoot sometimes.

    I do remember I got a pretty cool cat thing once in 4.

    Oh and a wolf guy.


    I also remember the horrible cartoon.

    you used actual cds to make monsters?

    sounds awesome but how would that work, there's only 1 disc drive in the ps2

    It had it so you could open the drive when you wanted to "unlock" a new monster.

    It would read the data and then you put the game back in

    I had this badass Mochi, I think, that would tear shit up in the tournaments in the original. Then some catcreature thing that was way too strong to be in a tournament that early blew fire on it and it died that night. I was so pissed.

    That's why I always advocate Gamera farming.

    Start smaller, grow up to defend all of Earth's children, somewhat less radioactive.

    Much better for a novice.
