THIS IS JUST FOR FUN! This has absolutely NO influence on Tecmo and is just an idea I came up with that I personally would think bring Monster Rancher back on the charts of popularity
Besides.. it'd take too long to make this game anyway.. BUT.. this is for fun

Now, with that out of the way:

----Silly Ideas for Tecmo's "Monster Bowl"----
There's barely any gamers I know that have not at least heard of Tecmo Bowl.. anyway..

Monster Rancher is a perfect candidate since it is so varied, but you could still include Rygar, or the Ninja Gaiden.. or a few folks from DOA, Fatal Frame,Deception or even Unison.

but.. say for example all you have access to for Front lineman is Golems... but later on you unlock the Large Beaklons (giant Dung beatles) for frontlinemen.. or you could use a mixture of all

a Pixie for a wide receiver (wings to take flight for getting so far out) or a Zan.. which may have better Catching ability with the extra arm appendages.

a Henger Quarterback (robotic transformer type monster).. that loads the football into his forarm and shoots it out like a cannon ball (similar to an attack he has in Monster Rancher)

----Unlocking special characters could include:
-sacking/tackling a special character on an opposing team X# of times.
-beating an opposing team with a random special character appearance X to 0.
-using only certain characters to play through a season.
-you could trade players much like you can trade monsters on the Monster Rancher encyclopedia between 2 entirely different saves.
-online leagues with PS2s network adapter

These are just a Few ideas i had to take the never dying popularity of Sports, and including Monster Rancher into it, to create a potentially new interest in the Monster Rancher world.

Feel free to comment good or bad.

just wanted to add: i only listed a couple of examples.. rather than listing what every tecmo monster/chatacter that ever existed in every applicable position possible.

ooo oooo.. Slating Monsters from games as players or mascots, or referees, coaches. cameos etc.
^_~

also.. Different Team Coaches might give your team "charactaristics" or advantages/disadvantages based on the coach you choose for your team.

Hehehe... that's not a bad concept Fenrick.

Every monster should be able to play every position, just certain stats effect how well they play that position, and their stats go up after every game, the more they play, the more their stats go up. However, there's a fatigue bar, and when a monster's fatigue bar is high, there's more of a chance he'll get injured, and his stats will go down after the game.

"HR*83: unless.....the mascot determines their sub...if that makes sense
HR*83: like, "The Tigers" would all be sub tigers
HR*83: that way every team doesn't look the same...it would be like their sub is their jersey
HR*83: and of course your choice would have a small (or large) impact on how your team develops
HR*83: (aka, stat gains)

idea taken from chat.
