Yeah, I enjoy the game series... there's a reason spent a heck of a lot of time building a full-body cosplay costume of Tiger, you know. ^_^
Anyway, though, the main Monster Rancher titles seem to be a love/hate deal; some players love the fact that you can develop pretty much a one-on-one relationship with your monster through constant training and analyzation of stats, after which you can take your monster to battles to raise his/her (and your rank). Others will hate it for exactly the same reason, seeing that it gets too repetitive -- plus there's the concept that your monster might get too old, where you'll need to freeze it until you combine it -- or let it die.
My advice? If you like leveling up characters to be rather powerful, and you can master the art of combining, it's a monster breeding series that you should try out. There are heavily detailed FAQs on the inner workings of the main Monster Rancher games -- every single thing you do with it seems to have an effect, whether obvious or subtle, so it's a quite detailed engine.
If you're not much for level-up repetition, the main series might not be the best for you.
If you're still iffy, try to pick up an earlier version of one of the main games for cheap. It seems to be that Monster Rancher 2 for the PSX is the most widely available , and you should be able to pick it up for $15 -- Monster Rancher Advance might be available too now for cheap, but MR2 for PSX is deeper.
So... IT'S "FLITZ TIME" EVERYBODY! | NEXT STAGE IS 7 |

I didn't know that!  I knew you could freeze it. Yeah,both my monsters got old rather quickly. And they were both Rank B!  I was almost there. But I didn't let them die. I had them coach instead.  But still,I didn't know that freezing them would work.
I have a Wolfkin now,which is a combo of Garu/Tiger.(look at my av,but with Tiger's colors,really cool monster he is)
RSJ: Yes,Hare's always been back. I like him in the anime myself.

That's right -- coaching ability. I had forgotten that feature had been implemented. As I've said elsewhere on this board, I've only played MR2 for the PSX -- in which the monsters can die. (Actually, to allow another main type of species to be unlocked in MR2, you're supposed to allow one of your monsters to die. For that reason, oddly enough, there are FAQs on how to make your monster die quickly...)

I'll be sure to to check sites with screenshots of the character. ^_^
Geez,that's sad. Who'd want to kill their monster?
