♪♫ You gotta be the pretty good like people haven't been before! You are the 'mon!~ ♩♪

This is a simple RPG inspired by Pokémon, but inverted. You play as a monster, trying to grow up strong and become very powerful. However, those pesky trainers are coming for you! Be careful!!

Controls:
Arrows - Move
X - Action

Obs: Due to time constraints (and because this was much harder than I anticipated) the game is somewhat unfinished. Many minor features were cut out, e.g. the main game objective. It IS playable though, so please enjoy kicking trainers around!

HAHAHHAHAHHA Incredible. Just amazing. You should develop for 3DS, would totally buy it. Congratulations dude! Your monsters look much better them the ones from Pokemon X and Y.

That was really funny! It was a huge time saver once I learned that you could just keep using your best skill even though it only said one use :)

My keyboard hates you.

Nice subversion of the monster RPG format; very fitting to the theme. Art could be improved but the overworld was pleasant enough. More variation in monsters rather than color palette change would be a strong area of improvement. Otherwise, nice work.

Best interpretation of the theme I've seen. I'd love to see this idea more developed.

Captures (get it?) the pokemon feel perfectly. Love how ambitious this concept is.

Nice game, very good graphics.

At least Sproutic's Bark isn't worse than its Bite. I appreciated the messages for Developer POV too. The ability to button-mash for power was nice, but the damage values seemed highly random even when I hit 5 stars, so it was a let-down.

Neat take on the theme; this is a role-reversal I'd like to see more of. Thanks for putting this together!

This was a fun take on the theme. I really like it, and made me laugh.

I love me some pokemon games! Very funny. Unfortunately the gameplay is a little slow, but then again I always played pokemon on ultra speed (emulator).

My keyboard is dead, but not in vain. Great theme interpretation :)

Simple and straightforward, a good use of the theme.

Really cute sprites for the trainers and the monsters. Really great implementation of a battle system. You crammed a decent and polished system for such a short period of time. Great job!

Yeah, that's... wow! You could totally expand this into a full retail game. Excellent!

You totally nailed it, my take on the theme was similar to this but I liked your implementation way better!

Hard, but fun! I couldn't win even one battle...

"But I'm the very best!" Well done.

A little slow, but this is fun. Do you ever evolve?
