I remember Jade Cocoon. My mom would sometimes randomly buy me games on a whim, but she knew nothing about video games so she just grabbed whatever covers she thought looked cool. That's how I ended up with Jade Cocoon, because I had never heard of it before. I think I got to the third gate/area (there were four, right?) before it got too hard for me. I was a kid, didn't know how to look up guides yet, and that was probably my first non-Pokemon RPG. I remember fusing the bug monster things and sometimes being extremely disappointed in my results. And I think you needed like silk or something that were functionally the same as Pokeballs and allowed you to capture more wild monsters for your party/fusions. I ended up selling it in the one and only sale I made to GameStop as a kid. Which is fucked up, because I think it's actually worth a bit of money now. I found the game itself entertaining enough, but it was never compelling enough for me to seek out to finish when I was more grown. I know there was a sequel for the PS2, but I didn't play that one.

I have Jade Cocoon 2 (PS2), never found the original. Never heard of Dragonseeds before today, and for good reason, no PAL release, I can't get it legally. :(

They were fun pokemon clones but lacked the polish of smt. They reminded me more of the lufia ruins of lore which in the end was just a bump in the knock offs.
Though a fun game if you can find it is Enchanted Arms for the xbox 360. It's the style of some older dragon quest or revelations style in which you have your human characters and the your beastiary which in this case are golems. The big oof of this series is that while most characters are well animated (for the era) the golems that fight for you look like the marched right out of dreamcast's virtual fighter series. --- Sometimes you come out on top, sometimes on bottom.

It was one of my favorite games as a kid and I still play it all the fucking time. --- o7 Let strength be granted so the world might be mended. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Dragon Seeds was a Monster Rancher clone more than a Pokmon clone. I didn't mean that as a derogatory statement. I would be more correct in saying that they are based of the groundwork of digital devil story(1987) and the grandaddy of rpg systems DnD(1974). I mean it as a genre thing. It's a sad thing though about monster rancher. This generation of kids will never know what it feels like to put in a cd (Black Sabbath's Paranoid) and get the black joker. That whole mechanic sadly is gone thanks to progression of tech. Still think it would be cool to make a game that reads your spotify playlist to build a monster to fight others. --- Sometimes you come out on top, sometimes on bottom. For everthing else use KY. ...

Jade Cocoon was great, and while it was probably heavily influenced by pokemon I don't think it was quite a clone, Jade Cocoon 2 was closer to a clone but they actually had a fairly interesting combat system in it.
Sad those games never really took off, they were pretty good. Never heard of dragon seeds. ... Copied to Clipboard!
