It never ceases to amaze me what fans will do for their favorite games! Click the blue links below for pics of the games cases! Here is a list of the most obscure games in the genre I've come across in my decades of playing video games, and while I can say many are very innovative with interesting and unique features, most have stayed subdued for a reason (because they suck, lol.) While most are Japanese only and you'll have to blind-play through them, many of these games have fan translations or actually were localized too, so not all hope is lost! Just search for the translation patch, and use their FAQ if you need help with the process (it's SUPER easy.) Be sure to search everywhere else that you can if they don't have what you're looking for.
Some localized titles even remained ignored. For every franchise most know that made it here and were successful in their own right ( Medabot, Digimon, Monster Rancher, Megaman Battle Network, Yokai Watch, Dragon Quest Monsters, etc.), there were two that stayed behind only to fade into obscurity, lost in translation. Unfortunately, the majority of these games got lost in the marketing flurry, and not only never made it state-side, but are niche even in Japan. Releasing their own unique gameplay and interpretations (or just blatant rip-offs) of Satoshi Tajiri's formula, including multiple colored cartridge versions with dozens to hundreds of strange organisms or robots to collect. Oh, and of course even earlier into their mythology with Yokai's!Įvery Japanese game company in the 90's through early 2000's, new and old, clambered to snatch up just a little of Pokemon's fame. Specifically with their fascination of cataloguing nature, creating bestiaries, and collecting insects to pit against each other in battle.
It is reiterated that any SCI goat whose ancestors are from the Island are San Clemente Island goats. None of them would be excluded for their characteristics as long as those characteristics do not impede their health.The world-wide explosion of the monster collecting and breeding genre can almost be inextricably linked to the success of Pokemon, and even deeper to its origin country of Japan's rich history. Still, a general breed description is helpful for breeders to understand the historical ranges of traits which were produced on the island. This is fundamentally different than evaluating candidate animals for inclusion into mainland landraces.” ~ Dr.
In that case, the major question is whether the candidate animals are typical of the breed or not, with less emphasis on their specific geographic origin. The key issue here is educating breeders that ANY goat that traces back to the island is indeed a San Clemente (Island) goat, regardless of its phenotype. This is the only point that is important in either including or excluding goats. This is a very different situation than we face with other landraces that might have multiple foundation herd sources. “Basically, SCIG means a goat that has all ancestors from the island at some point. Our breed description is derived from the time frame of just before they were removed from San Clemente Island in 1981, as they had nearly 100 years to go through natural selection to become the very unique San Clemente Island goat breed. San Clemente Island Goats are a feral breed, having developed with minimal human involvement in their genetic selection on San Clemente Island. Typically used for landrace breeds, breed descriptions can also be applied to feral breeds. A breed description describes the range of traits found within a breed’s population versus a standard which gives the ideal traits of an individual within a breed.
