Raise Monsties as a Rider and build a party around what each can do in turn-based combat. The twin Rathalos at the heart of the story give one species a very different role from the ordinary creatures you bring back to hatch. Try it if the bond between Rider and monster interests you as much as building a roster.

19
Monster Crown: Sin Eater
Combine monsters and raise a team while exploring a harsh fantasy setting. Choose this entry if the original’s breeding focus appeals and you want a different story around the creatures.
20
Nexomon
Catch wild Nexomon, train them, and see what changes when they evolve. The original story is more linear, which makes it a good place to start if a collection and a clear next destination are what you want.
