I’ve got a certain nostalgia for games in a particular style that I’ll try my best to describe. During the era of Pokemon’s launch (and a bit before and after), there were quite a few games that attempted to appeal to that same audience (kids, young adults; “shonen” crowd) with brands based on gachapon (collectible/customize-able toys or creatures), TCG’s, or tamagotchi (creatures you raise). I’m looking to make a list of all the games I can find that play like these games made for that demographic, regardless of platform, quality, or language (a lot of these will likely be Japan exclusive). I’m particularly looking for any niche or obscure games I may not be aware of. Any platform is fair game, including more obscure stuff like Wonderswan, both before or during that late 90s/early 00s era (stopping at GC/PS2/Xbox and NDS, excluding PSP).
Linked is my list so far (excluding any Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon, & Digimon games I don't care about): https://pastebin.com/rTmH7yQX
