Nothing important or earth shattering about any of this, but it’s fun thought experiments that have been bouncing around my head so I thought I’d write them down. The first part is just me assigning Pokemon types to the Main Monster Rancher breeds. Second part will be describing my asinine Pokemon challenge.

Pokemon Challenge as MR

My next thought was to what if you limited what Pokemon you could use in a Run to be only Monster Rancher -like Pokemon? This will either be super limiting or super boring, I suppose All Pokemon are listed to include their Evo Lines, unless otherwise noted. WIP
