Suezo, Ducken, Baku, Hare and Colt of Monster Rancher 2, PS1
I spent days going through my parents’ extensive CD collection, excited to see who was locked away in each one.
I would stay up way past my bedtime, training and going to tournaments and exploring the wilderness with them. Even though none of them ever got through S rank, I would reward them for a good job after every fight because I loved them.
I froze them when they got old, with a glimmer of hope that there was some way to bring them back young and healthy… but mostly, I just never wanted any of them to be gone forever.
Monster Rancher 2 is one of my favorite games of all time.
