In your Pokedex, you can see where the Pokemon was found, as well as basic information about their type. Additionally, you can see the smallest and largest of the Pokemon that you have caught. Every Pokemon has a quick description that can help build the world around you as well. For example, in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, we learn that children like to use Snorlax’s belly as a place to p
Generations included a number of changes from the normal format, most notably allowing fans to play as Felynes, who until this point had only ever accompanied hunters as companions. In addition to featuring some of the well-known monsters from the series, Generations also introduced four new monsters and Deviant variations, all of which also added new series of armor for players to cra
The newest installment in the spin-off series focuses on a young Monster Rider that comes into contact with a newly-hatched Rathalos. Players will have to unravel the mystery of a prophecy concerning the titular Wings of Ruin in this new Monster Hunter RPG adventure. Monster Hunter Stories 2 might share similarities with Pokemon in its turn-based battles and monster capturing, but the game also seems to be drawing some inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the W
Capcom’s expansive Monster Hunter IP recently saw the impressive launch of Monster Hunter Rise on the Nintendo Switch , already with over six million copies sold. Next up for the series is a spin-off in the form of Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin . The first Monster Hunter Stories released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2016, introducing turn-based combat to the series for the first time, plus the ability to ride and hatch monsters. Monster Hunter Stories 2 , which releases next month, continues that same spin-off momen
In Monster Hunter Rise, we have Hunter Notes. Here, you can see a drawing of the monster, as well as stats about it. There is a short description that contains some lore and, like Pokemon, you can see the largest and smallest of the monster that you have defea
Bestiaries are essentially encyclopedias with all you need to know about creatures. When used in video games, a bestiary will inform you about creatures in the world, as well as provide other helpful information. Not all bestiaries were created equal though; some are more in-depth than oth
Geralt of Rivia’s first big crossover came in his appearance in Soulcalibur 6 as a playable character. With the Soulcalibur series’ focus on melee-weapon combat, Geralt of Rivia made perfect sense as a fighter. He was able to wield his sword with the usual grace and spins that fans expected, as well as putting some of his iconic Witcher signs to use. Another major game for Geralt was Monster Hunter World ‘s Witcher crossover eve
The original Monster Hunter 4 was a Japan-only release for the 3DS in 2013. However, the enhanced version that was later released did come to Western shores, called Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (Monster Hunter 4G in Japan). It was released for the 3DS in 2015 and was the first handheld Monster Hunter in the West to feature fully integrated online multiplayer functional
Monster Hunter 3, also known as Monster Hunter Tri, originally released for the Wii in 2010. An enhanced version titled Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate was later released for Wii U and 3DS in 2013. This title was very well received and is considered a critical and commercial succ
You once again play as a Rider, but this time you must team up with a woman named Ena after every Rathalos in the world goes missing. You’ll need to travel with your “Monstie” to make them stronger and uncover the truth behind this strange phenomenon. The main story alone should take you about 40 hours to complete, but there is enough side content to keep any Monster Hunter fan pleased for a long t
Another place that Geralt would feel right at home in is the Nioh series. The Nioh games see players fighting through hordes of spirits in Souls-like combat through a variety of dodges and weapons. Geralt would be a great addition to Nioh as his nimble fighting style would mix well with the series’ heavy emphasis on dodging and parrying enemy attacks. Geralt would also fit right into the game’s dark universe while also bringing some levity through his dry commentary on the strange world. Geralt likely wouldn’t fit into Nioh ‘s historic setting, but with how impressively successful Nioh 2 was , a crossover could be in the cards for Nioh and The Witcher series’ futu
Monster Hunter Freedom was based on Monster Hunter G, the Japanese-only expanded version of the original Monster Hunter. Made specifically for handheld audiences, Freedom was not a direct port of Monster Hunter G but instead based a lot of its content on the earlier g
