Thanks to the typical
chaos-incarnate informative advertisements found in Japanese magazines, some new details regarding the upcoming
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker have surfaced. The game will have the player choose a team of monsters to battle for him or her, and in typical RPG fashion, they'll get stronger as you use them. You can (genetically?) combine two monsters together, providing for new abilities and balance: the key is not simply choosing the strongest two of your bunch, but to pick the pair whose abilities compliment each other.
We'll be honest, the game
does remind us vaguely of a
Pokemon clone. However, the
Dragon's Quest series is nigh revered in Japan; the depth of the game, in both complexity and plot, will most likely exceed the typical "defeat the Elite Four" business found in everyone's favorite cuddly GBA cartridge.

Dragon Quest had the monster taming system before the first Poket Monster games were released.

Um yes I have, but the monster taming system was created in DRAGON QUEST V (a game which was never released in the states) which was created years before the original Pocket Monsters. But DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS was most likely created to cash in on the then recent Poket Monster craze.

Be careful, Jason Wishnov, that post has the potential to piss off a lot of people. Dragon Warrior Monsters is one of the most revered GBC games.
