What "monster collecting" videogame franchises do you want to see represented in Smash?

[kaithehedgefox]

"Monster collecting" has become a genre of videogames since the early 2000s. It all started when others began to emulate the style and formula of Pokemon.

Here are some examples:

• Pokemon (of course because it was the pioneer of its genre)
• Yu-Gi-Oh!
• Beyblade
• Yo-Kai Watch
• Digimon
• Monster Rancher

So what "monster collecting" videogame franchises would you like to see represented in Smash?

The only "Monster collecting" franchises that I want to see represented with playable characters are Yo-Kai Watch and Digimon.

Mostly Pokémon (the Scorbunny line in particular).

I want Jibanyan (Yokai Watch) and Agumon (Digimon) to be playable.

It would be really awesome if Jack Frost from Shin Megami Tensei was playable. (If I recall SMT had monster collecting elements so it's probably eligable.) When it comes to Digimon I actually want Gomamon.

Yugioh is better known as a tabletop game, same with Beyblade. I make more post here later.

I already know that both Yugioh and Beyblade aren't eligible. As of now, Jibanyan (Yokai Watch) and Agumon (Digimon) are the only two 3rd party "monster collecting" primary reps that deserve to be playable. Suezo (Monster Rancher), Medabee (Medabots), Dragonoid (Bakugan), etc are all just to obscure.

And to clarify, yes, Bakugan is a videogame franchise. It was originally planned to debut as a vieogame. Here's one of my previous posts explaining more:

Bakugan is not only obscure nowadays, but it was originally planned to debut as a videogame. The Bakugan videogames were planned before the tabletop game and anime. While the anime and tabletop games were released first, they were soley used to promote the Bakugan videogames. So, thus Bakugan is a videogame franchise because it was intended to debut as a videogame.

obscurity isnt the problem, it the fact that theyre not video games series

 

[lady_sky skipper]

Actually, Medabee or Suezo would be a great addition to Smash Ultimate, partly because my sister and I were introduced to them through the anime and we loved their sarcastic attitudes and in the case of Medabee, his independence. (My sister loves sentient robots.)

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Obliviously Yugioh and Digimon. Though, I'm not too sure who I want from either franchise.

As mentioned earlier, Yugioh is ineligible for Smash. Digimon, Yo-Kai Watch, and TemTem, however, are eligible for Smash.

 

[SuperDoom1]

Anything that's not SMT is a lie.

 

[Trevenant]

As mentioned earlier, Yugioh is ineligible for Smash. Digimon, Yo-Kai Watch, and TemTem, however, are eligible for Smash.

I mean, it's a want thread so coming in just to say that kind of misses the point and gives me a free r/woosh but I'll use it elsewhere. Jokes aside, if this was meant to be realistic then I'd be saying the same thing but it's not.

 

[kaithehedgefox]

Actually, Monster Rancher, Bakugan and Medabots are all videogame franchises. I think you meant that Yugioh and Beyblade aren't videogame franchises. Bakugan used to be iconic during the Wii era, but it's now obscure since the mid-2010s. Due to being obscure, I want Suezo (Monster Rancher) to be an assist trophy, and Dragonoid (Bakugan) and Medabee (Medabots) to just be spirits.

As mentioned earlier, Yugioh is ineligible for Smash. Digimon, Yo-Kai Watch, and TemTem, however, are eligible for Smash.

I'm already aware of that, furthermore I think TemTem is too new to get any playable characters, and I've never heard of it until now.

Actually, Medabee or Suezo would be a great addition to Smash Ultimate, partly because my sister and I were introduced to them through the anime and we loved their sarcastic attitudes and in the case of Medabee, his independence. (My sister loves sentient robots.)

No offense, but I think you're acting like obscure 3rd party characters don't always deserve to be excluded.

Seeing as Tem Tem is about to be released for the Switch in 2021 and it's taking a while for the Smash DLC to be released. It may be plausible that they might get into Smash Ultimate one day. Which Tem Tem creature would you like to see in Smash if it does happen RileyXY1 ?

I have never played it and have little to no knowledge of the game.

Me 2, I've only just heard about it. And I know almost nothing about for now. It may be too obscure for now.

Okay that's cool, I'll be honest and say besides wanting to see characters from Digimon, SMT, Medabots, and Monster Rancher. The only other characters I wanna see from a monster collecting game is honestly more Pokemon. I loved playing as Chandulure in Pokken, it'd be neat to play as them in Smash Ultimate.

You do know my Bakugan Spirit Battle was supposed to be a satire of the Treehouse reveal, right?

Sorry, I actually wasn't aware of that, but read this previous quote from me.

Bakugan is not only obscure nowadays, but it was originally planned to debut as a videogame. The Bakugan videogames were planned before the tabletop game and anime. While the anime and tabletop games were released first, they were soley used to promote the Bakugan videogames. So, thus Bakugan is a videogame franchise because it was intended to debut as a videogame.

So thus, Bakugan is eligible for Smash, although I don't think it deserves to have any playable characters.

Yugioh and Beyblade aren't videogame franchises.

but thats my point, you started a thread about monster collecting video game series and in the first post you list two that are not

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I was just thinking the other day it would awesome to see Digimon and Monster Rancher represented.

Agumon seems like the obvious choice for Digimon but it seems like Monster Rancher has two plausible candidates. Suezo and Mocchi. (It seems like Mocchi took over the mascot role from Suezo at one point) Personally I think I'd prefer Mocchi.

Yokai Watch, I wouldn't mind seeing get a rep, though I'd prefer to see a Digmon rep get in before it.

Seeing Pokemon and Digimon crossover and face off against each other would be really cool.

That would be amazing! We could have Pikachu, Jibanyan, and Agumon all battle together.
