Would you want a steam tag for Pokemonlike games to be implemented on Steam?
It doesn't have a steam page yet but Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition is coming to steam on October 18.

Oh yes fudging definitely gonna add that to the list when it comes, do we know for a fact it's coming to Steam though and that it isn't going to be a ... Epic exclusive :(
When Digimon Survive, Cyber Sleuth and it's sequel gets steam pages then I will definitely add them to the list as well :).

I'm not sure if that was the one I played, but I remember renting one on PS4 that I could not figure out at all. I took my digimon out for a few battles and they always needed to poop almost immediately after leaving, I got sick of it pretty quickly, lol. And I think I ended up evolving a Numemon or Sukamon once and literally just trained it to death because I didn't want to use it at all.
I was hoping for something more like Digimon World DS/Dawn/Dusk or Digimon World 4.
Actually, I think it must have been Digimon World Next Order, which makes more sense why I was thinking it would have been more like the Digimon World games I had played.
I might need to try Cyber Sleuth at some point.

That would have been Digimon World: Next Order, its originally a PSVITA game that got a PS4 port, it isn't available on any other consoles/platforms from what I'm aware of.
Digimon Cyber Sleuth doesn't have the monster caring mechanics of Digimon World games, so you don't need to train their stats, feed them, make sure they don't poop on the flow, oh and most importantly, they won't die of old age.
Digimon Cyber Sleuths combat system is similar to that of the newer Person games which is amazing, and you need to digivolve your digimons manually when they have reached a certain level, once you take them to the place to digivolve you get all the options available and can see their level requirements so you can choose what your Digimon turns into, once Digivolved it turns back to lv1 but as the new digimon so that you can then level up again to digivolve into a different form. So no random factors like in the Digimon World games.

Ah yes, that sounds much more enjoyable, haha. Though the DS Digimon World games (DS, Dusk, and Dawn) didn't really have randomized stuff or the "Tamagotchi" care, you could choose when you wanted to evolve them, but certain evolutions needed you to fulfill certain requirements first. Dusk was one of my favorite games, haha. I actually haven't played Digimon World 4 enough to even evolve anyone yet, but that was one I wanted so bad for ages (I literally memorized the Trailer's music from just watching it on repeat so many times, lol) and had to buy it used a number of years back (though I only found it on Xbox, and playing it reminded me that I don't really like the classic Xbox controllers...). It also doesn't have the "Tamagotchi" care, so I'm not sure which games had that, maybe just the first couple?
But yeah, thanks for the info, I do love Persona and Cyber Sleuth looks awesome so I'll definitely have to try it sometime. And apparently it came out on my birthday, why didn't I even know, haha?
P.S. Sorry for responding to such an old post, I didn't even notice it was a year old until I was reading some more, haha. I blame whoever else brought it back to the top, but a late bump is still a bump. ;P
P.P.S. Also I've been noticing "Creature Collector" tag, was that what ended up getting decided on? I've started tagging with "Monster Taming" and adding "Creature Collector" too.

1) I've been looking for the DS Digimon World game but damn it's expensive haha
2) No prob responding to such an old post XD
3) I have no idea why and who decided on the Creature Collector tag, it just popped up a month ago but I'm still leaning towards Monster Taming as it encapsulates a more specific set of games than what Creature Collector does. A Creature Collector doesn't necessarily have any taming or battling in and basically just covers collecting.

( And this time, I could admit it may be fully off-topic, unless if collecting Monsters & Townspeoples as litteraly "weapons smashing items" is included. )

I will say that after the bs of ooblets when they went to epic, I doubt they'll actually come to steam as their page would presume
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't really want the game to come to steam. The devs really don't deserve the money from any potential steam sales after their attack on future customers. Unless the game goes perm f2p on steam, then I'd prefer it stays on epic. Its a cute game ruined by its devs pulling a notch

I would add Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered. Doesn't have a store page on Steam yet but it should release on September 20.
Apparently the second game doesn't have this mechanic, maybe it would fit in the Honorable Mentions category. Haven't played it so I'm unsure. Ni no Kuni™ II: Revenant Kingdom. Seems like there's creatures called Higgledy which you can find through out the world and they can passively help you in battle.

I wish Square Enix would release Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker on Steam much like the Final Fantasy 3 DS port. There's already interest on Steam for DQ games what with the Heroes titles and XI, as well as the new interest generally due to The Hero being added to Smash Ultimate.

Monster Sanctuary
This game just became available on steam early access.
Comment has been collapsed.
Self bump, decided to go with Monster Taming as the general consensus through the discussion is that this should be the applied tag along with a few devs also agreed with this, please do tag these games as Monster Taming so that we can easily get games like this in the future through the tag system :).
Comment has been collapsed.
Fine, thanks. :) I'll take note, then. ( Shall we use a generic "Pokemon-Like", in other languages, or translate it as it is ? )
By the way, I remembered Yonder, The Cloud Catcher, a kind of farming x Breath of the Wild game where you have to befriends with wild critters, by offering them enough foods until they follow, and may help you with some tasks. ( Yeah, it's a fully pacifist game... But I guess it may be considered ? )
Comment has been collapsed.
(Oh, Ok, sorry, I didn't noticed it was once in the list... ^^' Then I wonder, why didn't it qualify, in the end ? Why Slime Rancher, and not this game ? )
Depend how you define the use and way of "taming", maybe ?
( If it implies only by "using force", then No ? - as explained, you can't fight nor harm anything in this game. But, if it may implies being friends, too, then Yes ? - as, you can offer foods & treats to wild animals, until they likes you enough to follow your character up to the nearer barn. )

Here's 3 that aren't mentioned here yet.
SRPG where you end up capturing more units throughout the game to use in your party.
The remaster is based on the International version which had a Creature Create mode where you lay traps across the game world to capture fiends, then you can feed them items to teach them skills and power them up. They can also be used in the party and you can completely ignore the main characters and have your party just be fiends but will be AI controlled. You don't have to use the system, but it is there and is very overpowered eventually. The fiends even have special stories for most of them, and you can get extra items by finishing them then releasing the fiend.
Yet again, you can capture most of the monsters in game and use them in your party(though only one at a time). AI controlled monsters, player controlled main characters.
Comment has been collapsed.
It was International version only before the remaster, so if you only ever played X-2 on PS2, then the option wasn't there. It's avbailable pretty early from what I remember, like first chapter even.

Bookmarking this discussion ^^
Don't Starve allows you to raise Beefalo although I've never managed to tame one myself. You also sort of tame the pig people by giving them food.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yay thank you for bookmarking.
Regarding Don't Starve: How do you raise the Beefalo? I played it a bit before and never did that so I just want to verify how exactly this is done, how do you tame them and raise them? Or is it simply you build a pen around them, feed them to pop babies out and then kill the offspring when they have grown up? Because then this doesn't qualify for the Monster Taming tag.

You apparently gain obedience points with them by brushing and feeding them. It's very time consuming and you need to worry about feeding yourself, too. This wiki will show you how in detail. Honestly, I haven't been able to last more than 40 days in one playthrough myself. I managed to last through winter, but once summer comes the hounds with fire ability burn my campsite down resetting my progress (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Damnit Extravaganza Rising !!! How are you XD haha.
Thank you for mentioning it anyways, I will add it to the list.
Hopefully, the game pops up in some bundle through which I can grab it :P.
PS I have a coupon for 20% off Monster Sanctuary, it expires in 9 days or so, let me know if your interested and I will give it to you, its a damn fun Monster Taming game.

I wish you luck :D
Thanks for the offer, but I just started to tackle my backlog...and it is much too big. So I have enough time to wait for an offer that is really good or maybe even a steal :)

Created a SteamGroup to be able to manage this a bit better, that being said I still intend on keeping this discussion open and updating it :)

I love the monster capture/training genre (cough cough Pokemon games), but it's quite difficult to find such games on PC and even more so on Steam, please mention/link more games with this type of setup (hell in general it just needs monster capturing or battling in order to qualify really).
Created a SteamGroup to be able to manage this a bit better there as well :) Monster Taming Games Group
The group also has a curator if you want to easily see the tagged games (we've tagged them based on the type of monster taming elements they have) : Monster Taming Games Curator
I would also like to implement a steam tag for this type of game on steam, if enough people tag the games with the tag and we get the devs involved (I have spoken to a few that are very keen on doing this) then we can maybe make this a reality and through doing this make finding games of this sub-genre extremely easy :).
The main idea I got from communicating with the devs is to call the tag "Monster Taming" as this will encompass all the games that have anything to do with capturing, nurturing, raising, evolving, and/or fighting with monsters, it's vague enough to encompass a lot of game thus making it more viable to be an actual tag. If anyone has a better idea please feel free to comment on my first comment in order to add it to a vote in the future, until then let's find some more games in this genre on Steam :).
So the main consensus was reached, let's all go ahead and tag the games with "Monster Taming" !!!
