Onegai Monsters

About

Onegai Monsters is a 3D RPG where you play a kid starting a monster-breeding journey on their tenth birthday. You hatch an egg and spend the game completing simple quests like fetching items for townsfolk while training your creature. Battles use a turn-based system similar to Pokémon, but every monster you collect traces back to your initial pet. Feeding it specific foods grants element points that influence how it evolves. Monster growth comes from defeating foes and exploring the world, walking around town alone boosts their levels. Eggs for new creatures can be purchased at a local shop, expanding your team through breeding. The game’s standout is its evolution system, which ties directly to player choices like diet and exploration. While quests stay basic, the focus on nurturing a single starting monster into diverse forms adds a personal touch. Released in 1999 for N64, it’s a niche title that blends traditional RPG loops with a quirky twist on monster customization. Its small scale and single-player focus make it a quick but distinct entry in the genre.
