Why these games appear

How entries qualify

RPG progression centered on finding, collecting, training, evolving, and battling with a roster of creatures.

Include when

Assign Monster-Taming RPG when rPG progression centered on finding, collecting, training, evolving, and battling with a roster of creatures. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.

Leave out when

Do not assign Monster-Taming RPG from theme, presentation, camera, or a minor mechanic alone; its defining interaction and progression pattern must recur through the core game.
