Monster Rancher Advance 2

"...this is something that you either love or hate. If you think spending time incubating something that "doesn't exist" is dumb, then Monster Rancher will likely strike you as a futile timewaster. If you can actually harbor some affection for 0s and 1s, silicon and pixels, there just might be a rancher in you."

"If you already own the original Monster Rancher Advance, the sequel to the fun-despite-itself Pokémon clone brings very little new elements to the table—unless you count a few new monster types, different backgrounds and training animations, a hospital where you can surgically remove your monsters “bad traits,” and link-cable monster breeding."

"As any hopeful Pokémon fanatic or Monster Rancher veteran will surely agree, the next logical commercial step, perhaps ten or fifteen years down the road, is home monster generator kits, using raw DNA to produce creatures of your own design."
