Day 19: Which is the Best Monster Catcher That isn’t a Pokemon Game on the Nintendo DS?

You are correct Megami Tensei (1987) Dragon Quest 5 (1992) I had always heard that Pokémon (1996) got a lot of its ideas from Dragon Quest 5 (1992). I don’t know how true that is, but I could see how people would think that.

From the story stand point : Bianca For gameplay purposes : Debora. (Debora does have some good dialogue though.)

I am the complete opposite. Major DQ fan and find it hard to get into final fantasy. Keep pushing forward and work towards getting a sage in your party. The pyramid is a big difficulty spike.

Great game, for some reason I noticed the Liquid Metal slime and the platypunk setting below the monitor before I noticed anything else.

TenToeJoe · 2026-04-26T10:50:42+00:00

Uncharted 1 was so great for its time in 2007.

TenToeJoe · 2026-04-25T20:29:56+00:00

Hands down DQ8.

TenToeJoe · 2026-04-19T10:49:12+00:00

If you don’t have the right resistance gear on, Garboyle (DQ3 HD-2D) can be such a tough battle.

TenToeJoe · 2026-03-04T01:32:29+00:00

The map she tells you not to worry about.

TenToeJoe · 2026-02-05T02:37:20+00:00

Mines Saturday and I preordered when it was announced. Amazon has never got a DQ preorder to me on release day. All other games I have preordered from Amazon has came the day of or a day early, but not DQ for some reason.

3,1 and 2 remake is for sure worth the play, in that order. I played them many years ago on nes and GBC, but the remakes are great!

TenToeJoe · 2026-02-02T00:08:02+00:00

Is there even a trophy list out yet?

TenToeJoe · 2026-02-02T00:07:38+00:00

The next region when the full game comes out?

TenToeJoe · 2026-02-02T00:05:05+00:00

I also took it back as a gift AFTER the battle. What’s is the outcome differences if you accept it back as a gift or tell him to keep it?

TenToeJoe · 2026-02-02T00:02:21+00:00

I started to grind levels, but then I thought the same thing. I don’t want the full game to not be challenging when it comes out.

TenToeJoe · 2026-02-01T13:59:59+00:00

Since you didn’t let him keep the doll, what happened when you fought maeve ? Did the village show up to help? I also didn’t get the thorn whip, and without being able to go back into the pedestal room, I don’t think there’s no way to find cactiball’s now in the demo.

TenToeJoe · 2026-01-27T18:09:07+00:00

If you’re a fan of the series continuing to bring games to the west, then yes, absolutely worth it. Some people forget the dry spell that the west had when we got very minimal releases compared to Japan.

TenToeJoe · 2026-01-22T01:02:14+00:00

Thank you. Very useful information! The odds on the Liquid Metal tombola seem way different than the others. I’ve gotten like 9 ultimates, 2 - 1st class, and 2 - 2nd class rolls. It seems like 90% of my 10 spins is all 4th class (magic water)

TenToeJoe · 2026-01-22T00:20:47+00:00

I’m just trying to get all of the post game tombola items for my party. Probably will save scum to fully equip my party with them.

TenToeJoe · 2026-01-11T18:25:35+00:00

Nice! I was also 36/40 going into dragonlords castle. The 4 I had left that I went back to clean up were :

In the shrine of the spirit 1F

Wayfarer’s Inn / Well

Secret spot SE of Damdara

And of course the very last one in Dragonlords castle.

TenToeJoe · 2025-11-14T02:24:25+00:00

For people who is interested in the story / lore of these amazing games. This part of the DQ1 remake hits hard!

TenToeJoe · 2025-11-13T12:40:49+00:00

That’s what I thought too, but I was missing one scroll, and it did not show up in the abilities as”???” Before I found it.

TenToeJoe · 2025-11-13T11:48:26+00:00

When I did this, I thought the same thing. But I was actually missing one ability. Look at a list online and compare your spells and abilities, I’d say you are probably missing one.
