Any monster catcher games people could recommend here? As long as the gameplay mechanics feel similar to Pokemon and has a monster that vaguely resembles Infernape (so basically just Son Wukong) I'd really like to play it.

The Dragon Quest Monsters games are apparently super similar to Pokémon, but I have no experience with them myself.

I'll check it out when it next goes on a sale. It has SOME level of familiarity since I used to play a bit of the mainline games though there are quite a few. I'm assuming just the latest one. They really go more for the monster feel compared to the animal feel.

This seems nothing like Pokemon neither gameplay nor aesthetic but interesting in its own way. The references in Aethermancer have me intrigued albeit it is Open Access so I probably won't mess with that until I see the finished product.

While the monsters themselves aren't collectible, the Megaman Battle Network games are my current go-to recommendation for Pokemon-likes. The Monkey Kin-based character is in another Megaman series though, I'm just bringing him up because Hanumachine is an amazing name pun.
