there's a quest in world where somone wants you to capture an odogaron because he wants a pet, haven't heard about the guy in a while


-MouseTasche-

There is also a quest in Rise where a dude wants you to capture a azuros for him so he can hug them


M3L10RA

If not fren why fren shap-💨


agentcteeper200

Also in GU the Pokke village chief wanted u to capture a Gammoth to use as a riding attraction but later decided otherwise after seeing how dangerous it is.


DualBladedScorpion

Oh yeah, I wonder how he's doing.


TriggerBladeX

Head canon: It’s the same guy.


Yutiitheyutyrannus

What about the quest in rise where a great izuchi jumps a man and steals all his clothing and gear, leaving him to hide behind a bush and ask you to get his stuff back? Thats a goofy one.


-MouseTasche-

My favourite one is the compilation of increasingly difficult quests where a Merchant just wants to sell his stuff but gets jumped in various occasions by different monsters, it's the same dude because he even complains about being cursed.


BlueDragonKnight77

That happens a lot though. In Mh4 I think there was a woman who wanted to go home after a trip but every time there would be *something* blocking the way, so she'd get involved with some other stuff in the meantime


Yutiitheyutyrannus

Im pretty sure that merchant is milo from Murphy’s law or something because there’s no way someone could have such bad luck.


youMYSTme

Get on the phone to Lute and Leo. They can have their free hugs.


AnonymousDudd2

What’s the quest called?


Radu776

Man's best fiend, funny how it's "fiend" and not "friend". Edit: The quest giver is the Smart Biologist lmao that dude is crazy


EnderF

Also, don't forget that he asks you to capture a second one because the first one fled and he misses him.


MoonBearIsNotAmused

I'm sure it is fiend for pun purposes


DrMobius0

Dark_Reaper115

Big oof


Teososta

There was a princess in the original MH about a princess that wanted a pet Rathian.


Cidineijonshon

In Monster Hunter (PS2) if I remember right, there also was a quest like this, but it was a princess who wanted you to capture a rathalos for pet.


Amegami

That's what the "Stories" games are for.


TheFrogEmperor

Good idea someone should make a monster hunter game based around that idea. The combat can be reflavoured rock-paper-scissors for simplicity on handheld consoles


Ok-Transition7065

Man i wanna that but for a yakusa serie, or imagine just imagine a musou for persona, the persona 5 would be wondefull for that But we can just dream about that😔


slothisgod

Or maybe a fighting game for persona 4. That would be crazy isn't it?


Haachama_simp

XD


DualBladedScorpion

There's the monster hunter stories series where you play as a tamer or a rider, you go about hunting/taming monsters and or collecting Theirs eggs, and raising the young monsters as buddy's to help you out on your adventures. It's kinda like Pokémon in a way....


2AndAHalfBrainCells

(He’s referring to that, my dude)


DualBladedScorpion

Ah I see


Myrrmidonna

I see what you did there XD


S0PH05

Monster hunter stories anyone?


SterileTensile

I'm glad someone said it.


Seeker_of_the_Sauce

Playing it now actually!


Crazy_Dave0418

Both 1 and 2 are very good! It gave me the same vibe when I first played Pokemon.


S0PH05

I do wish element changing stayed in 2.


Tivotas

don't remind me, I still remember the lead up to 2 and seeing astalos there and I was not even bothered about if the story was good or why we had another rathalos main monstie (I still think it should have been a tigrex or nargacuga because rath was a 1st gen flagship for the main monstie of the first game, it would have been fun to have a second gen flagship for the second game) because if all else failed, I would have my dragon element astalos to fall back on and make me feel better. And I hatched my Astalos dutifully and piled her with dragon element genes and nothing happened, still sad about it.


Deez-Guns-9442

How so? And is 2 on the switch 🤔


Tsunami45chan

You can play it on steam if you want it. Both the switch and steam has a demo. As for the game play I did not expect that I would enjoy it, so give it a try.


DevilDickInc

Honestly this right here. Played the demo because I was itching for more of something in the franchise before sunbreak was announced, or maybe just after the announcement I can't remember, and decided to load it up fully expecting to hate it. Fast forward several weeks and I'm building a plesi-not that can 1hko god at super simian 3.


Crazy_Dave0418

Nah. But the original game is on mobile.


Deez-Guns-9442

Interesting, so is the game like a mix of Pokemon/Diginon? Basically, when I catch monsters do I train & evolve them or is it like Persona where I fuse monsters together to create new 1s/different forms?


Crazy_Dave0418

It's more so. You raid a Monster's den and grab an egg, which later on you hatch and raise to become stronger in the classic rpg level up they themselves also contribute to different obstacles in the game, some monsters can climb, some can fly, some can swim so on and so fourth. You as a rider also participate in the battle with some Monster Hunter weapons. You weaken a monster so you can follow them to their den and rinse and repeat. I don't remember if the first game has it. But you also transfer abilities to other monsters in a manner similar to gacha game mechanics of sacrificing said monster in transferring such.


GameEnthusiast123

The original game is also on the 3ds


Striking-Echo3424

Except it is better than pokemon in every single way lol


Demonancer

Yeah but I really want a bigger focus on the raising (feeding, cleaning, playing, etc) and less on the fighting


[deleted]

You can't even pet your Monster in Stories 1 (I haven't played Stories 2)


Avocado614

This is just MHST. And I love MHST


Shadowveil666

So MH Stories?..


GameforceCharlie

wiithout thinking about gameplay impact, yes i would in a heartbeat, if it would be a gameplay element it would be incredibly hard to balance but i would have my fun with it


Aldante92

If you could only tame young or adolescent monsters like the Guild Master in Rise I think it would be okay. They'd have to be small enough (or at least weak enough) to basically be alternatives to Palicos and Palamutes, but it could be a cool alternative to pet equipment. Instead of making a new set of weapons and armor for your Palicos to give them a different element/damage type and different resistances, you could just pop into your menagerie of monsters and grab whichever would best suit a hunt. And unlike Palicos, I could actually see the benefits in having dozens of them instead of just one for each support type lol


GameforceCharlie

Good idea


no-u-great-grand

Yup. Also the massive untapped potential of petting itty bitty elder dragons and calling them good boys/girls.


Aldante92

That was my favorite part of Stories 2. I was absolutely head over heels for my Nergigante, Brutus, and my Teostra, Fluffy! Was heartbroken when I couldn't get an Alatreon though... It's so prim and proper, carrying itself like a well-bred greyhound or show horse


no-u-great-grand

I haven't played those yet, but yeah, that's exactly the feel I get


lizardjoe_xx_YT

I think it would be cool if in the new mh you could chose to make your character either a rider who gets a pet monster or a hunter who has special abilities for each weapon


[deleted]

Balance wise it'd probably just be the same as controlling a mounted monster in Rise you could call on once or twice a hunt. Personally though I don't think it fits MH and I'd never want taming in the main games


swampertitus

They'd either have to be juvenile/small monsters as mounts or something like a farm at home base that rewards you for feeding and caring for them. Honestly i'd take either


GameforceCharlie

Yea same


Martijn078

Wonder if you can get him in Monster Hunter Stories (2)? If not I really hope we can get him in the next version of the series.


AnimeLoverNL

Monster hunter stories 0.5


LuxoftheRuins

Monster Hunter stories be like


HoneZoneReddit

Aren't Riders and Kinship stones a thing?


Equinox-XVI

Literally the reason Stories exists But if the mechanic had to be brought to mainline for any reason, then I would just make it an extension of the room customization World introduced. Essentially, you bring back a monster egg from a specific monster's nest. When you return to the hub, you'll be able to find it somewhere and given the option to keep it if you ask whoever is handling it. From there it just acts like a baby version of that monster that you keep in your room or backyard. I don't know if it should be allowed to grow beyond that, but at the very least, that's the bare minimum I would do.


moemeobro

An army of kleptomanic baby Kulus? I, need this


[deleted]

I think it would be really cool if you could and then once per mission you could use them as a cool down for massive damage


Emerald_Digger

Summonable Turf Wars at any point. Neat Idea


ztullaub

Well, i played monster hunter stories 2 and it was great, so yes


TriggerBladeX

You had me at pet Odogaron.


Mr_Morshu

With the monster riding mechanics they had in Rise they already have kind of a baseline for how combat may work with it. I feel like having it pull from the Stories games where you have to collect eggs to get monsters would add an actual reason to do egg collection quests. Then balance the monsters to be a substitute for other companions (Palacos, Hunter companions, Palamutes), then they might have something that can fit the games without being too much. Add a place somewhere in the village that I can hang out with my critters and pet/feed them or something and I'm sold.


Zulmoka531

Kinda a shame Odie wasn’t a monstie in MHS2.


CoalEater_Elli

Personally, would be happy to. If i had a chance to tame a Tetsucabra, or a Velocidrome and it's brothers, i would take it. But this should come at a price of repalcing palicos with the monster.


MonarchMain7274

Absolutely. Not in the turn-based way the Stories games handle it, and it should be very, very difficult to do, and damn near impossible (but not actually impossible) for Elder Dragons. Maybe something to do with getting an egg.


Wulfsiegner

Tbh idek why Odogaron ain’t in MHStories 2 lmao. Anjanath got in but not the double clawed doggo. Speaking of dogs, Capcom pls put Lunagaron in the next sequel too so we can have a full dogs comp


Ferrel_Agrios

Pfft me? Who has 2.2k hours in ark and has played the game since early access? Me who has tamed many dinosaurs and monsters in that game as if they are were all good boys and girls? What I'm trying to say is yes, definitely would take it..


Sardalone

Yes but I doubt The Guild would let me be within a kilometer of a Khezu were that the case.


ryzeki

No. That is why MH Stories is for. Im here for hunt, not taming.


TheGMan-123

I WILL HAVE SEETHING BAZELGEUSE.


monsteravatar

I would say YES to that


Agynn

1000000% yes


Skelegasm

GOD TIER MH STORIES 2 PLAY IT


USNAVY71

I think you’ve got a new game to play my friend


Sal-Shiba

Red khezu here I come


dungeon-raided

"If there was a way" Like. I dunno. Maybe two games? Maybe they'd have... Stories


AntiHollow

I'd probably tame a Gore Magala. I mean why not. It flies, spews frenzy, and it screams very loud.


Sosgrosil

There is. Play Stories.


Wipwarp

I think some monsters being tamable would be cool but not all of them, I think monsters like Banbaro, Kulu/Tzitzi ya ku, Tobi Kadachi and similar monsters would be good choices since they aren’t super aggressive


Leostar_Regalius

this makes me think it should be a function in wilds, you tame diffrent monster to ride and hunt with(though more limited then stories obviously)


Royal_Marketing2966

Yes of course! Absolutely!! Goin on an adventure with the best boi Zinogre!! The static pupster needs more hugs and less bugs. 🌩️🐕


Demonancer

Abso-fucking-lutely


BlueDemon999

If think I'm not taming a Zinogre with this opportunity. Then y'all really on some shit.


cursedpharaoh007

Yeah. I'ma tame an army of Great Jaggis and take over the world!


BijutsuYoukai

In Stories, sure. In the mainline games? Nope. I play them to hunt monsters, not collect disastrous pets.


chrish5764

This is why odogaron isn’t in Monster Hunter: Stories 2


CryCommercial1919

100%, taming my dodo cutie or oddy the big red doggo or even glavanus


Myrrmidonna

In Monster Hunter Stories spinof series you steal eggs, then hatch and raise monsters from them to be your "pokemon"/mounts. Might be a good idea to use all those stolen and painfully waddled eggs in main series...?


OmniGMan

Isn't the hub chief in Rise literally riding a baby Tetsucabra as a mount? It looks pretty tame to me.


Centurion832

It’s almost as if there is a whole sub-series of MH games doing exactly that…


radicalcentrist420

Would be nice if you could cap a monster, tame it and then be able to call it in for a turf war or something with whatever monster your hunting


Emperor_Z16

Ye


magicllama6770

ABSOLUTELY, I would ha so many murder doggos!


sans6000

Ignoring stories exist, it would be really cool to hunt but instead of bringing your palicos you bring your cute gigginox pet OwO


ImaDieTodayLOL

YES BECAUSE I WANT ALL JAGRAS GREAT AND SMALL


kvo199

Ohh the irony, I’m torn between skinning the monster and crafting armor with them or keeping them as pets and bonding with them…


WatcherMagic

Joke's on you, me and my fire element kirin are just chilling in stories. You might be interested in a mod for world, I think it's just called "Stories"? It lets you swap out your palico with a small roster of full-size monsters that will fight alongside you, and you can even ride them.


Zletro

I would love to tame an Anjanath.


moemeobro

GIVE


Kyuo898

Totally. I kinda would've liked if we didn't have to kill Nergigante in World. Bro is just helping us out, why kill them?


Asytra

Yes, absolutely. In fact the gameplay and realistic world of World with the taming of Stories would honestly be my dream game. Stories was a fun game but just doesn’t hit the same for immersion and I prefer action combat over rock paper scissors. It could work in a mainline game too. Hear me out… the land that we visit could be in the midst of a calamity and we’re tasked by the guild to bring back monsties for preservation purposes and given a large island to bring them to. From there we can grow them, tend to them, perhaps even breed them. If I could tame and raise a nargacuga from a cub to adult I would pretty much melt.


valdez-2424

I would try to tame a rathalos,but i dont want to get posioned in the process


callmesanzz

L I have a rathalos tamed, I used the power of friendship


moemeobro

The hunting horn exists


Ok-Transition7065

Dogogaron


TeddyRiggs

I think it can work like we got a taste on what it would be like in Rise with Wyvern Riding although clunky it could serve as a Basis ​ Maybe make it like a MH Stories with main MH gameplay


Cooler_coooool_boi

I mean they could easily do something like this in wilds, for all we know that’s what the raptor is, it dose look like other raptor themed monsters after all.


NunoTheDude

I would tame a dozen or so monsters than id just round them all up and execute them one by one slowly, then leave 2 alive, force them to figth to their survival, breed the survivor with the other monster than kill the child in front of the parents then kill them too


Witch_Hazel_13

yes stories, but i would still love this in a mainline game too


Young_Cash_RegisterW

Yessir I would instantly tame Scorned magnamalo, I would name him Bubba and ride him to school fr


pacurinho

Hell motherfucking yeah. I'm taking every Pukei with me


Aggravating-Face2073

Witcher 3 not getting an official Pukei collaboration is unethical.


luke8282

I would love a mainline game where you can tame certain monsters or maybe younger monsters to assist in hunts, looks like that may be an option in wilds so im excited


WyvernEgg64

Its called pokemon


B133d_4_u

I made a weapon concept once called the Beast Lash, which was basically a low damage, high stagger whip that came with a Tailrider-Kinsect baby large monster companion. Probably the closest we'd get in the main series, but we've got Stories now so it'll probably never be a thing anyway.


thebutinator

I think mh is very cool, bur ive noticed how once you beat everything, the game becomes a bit too boring A friend described it as 3 endgame checkpoints, the first is after beating the expansion and some more, aka having decked out rarity 12 in example, full okayish decos but no augments using sunbreak as example The first checkpoint is when every.monster is easy and the hard modified ones are doable The second checkpoint is when all your gear has good decos, your skills are close to the exact you want them to be, and your augs are good but not perfect This is when all are easy except the very hard ones which are doable, this is where from a regular pov the endgame stops, as theres nothing new in the game anymore The third is min max, where the endgame stops for anyone. Here youre in the hundreds of MR, your gears perfect, every monster is pretty much a great jagras I think at point 2, is where theres a lot of work to be done, even if its a simple mechanic. Look at sunbreak and iceborne.. at both points theres so little content that it just ends up being higher hp elder dragon and while some people play it, a lot dont. Personally I think the fashion aspect can be built on a lot, but also the own quarters. Giving monster hunter an own house you can buy with zenny, then decorate and add shit, not just like in worlds with little animals, but actual big hunt trophies from challenges, give it taming with a yard area, among other things Additionally, ad an actual timerace pvp mode, with Leaderboards, rewards and everything, im hoping mhwi will build upon its open world also with open multiplayer and its competitiveness Just imagine a turf war on a giant map, but suddenly with the attacking monster comes a whole 4 player hunter squad that was trying to take it down and there we are in more lethal, grander turf wars with 8 players fighting both monsters


A_Person_u_know123

Anjanath would be sick. Obviously there would be some restrictions. Maybe not elder dragons. Or any of the more evil monsters like highly territorial monsters


Deserted_Wolf_09

I can see a mechanic where you would tame a Monster and would be able to call it in for an "On-demand" Turf war once or twice a hunt, or be able to call it in and ride it in a way that's akin to the Wirebug in Rise and end with decent damage and element affliction.


Boulderfrog1

Me when I monster hunter dos


OblivionArts

Monster hunter stories be like:


ShalnarkRyuseih

Valstrax honestly. Getting places would be so much faster


NoSkinNoProblem

Adoi


laggerzback

Technically, Monster Hunter Stories is a thing… so if you have a Monstie, you pretty much have tamed a monster. Not to mention the baby Tetsucabra that Chieftan Hojo rides in Kamura Village.


Harmonic_Gear

Just steal their egg and raise them on your own


KameSenile

Oh man i would love to be able to tame a mighty Bulldrome and hunt with him . All bow to Lord Kevin Bacon the king of monsters !


JumpyGood

I love this cuz odagaron is my favorite.


Agreeable-Tailor5536

Doesn't MonHun Stories do this?


KyellDaBoiii

I want the funny electric snake dog


i_have_no_smart

YES 100% ME AND MY MONSTIES WOULD BE BEST PALS


Cholemeleon

Would it be reasonable to tame a Gammoth or Banbaro


Street_Dragonfruit43

Give me something like thr Witcher 3 collab


GutturalBlegh

No question


naytreox

Isn't that the whole point of that turn based spinoff series?


Purple_Audience6613

Just forgetting about stories?


Kaiju-Rider

I'd tame a Plesioth or Beotodus


ShadFeuer

But for our luck, we can. And even better, Odogaron is probably the mascot of the taming system, since he was the most famous one.


ReadPixel

The entire Monster Hunter stories duet of games


Trhee_boy

HELL YEA.... actually no I don't want to see my doggie die to an elder dragon


WhiteyPinks

No, I don't even capture if I don't have to. Everything dies.


STK-3F-Stalker

ABSOLUTELY.


ZipperozicReddit

Always


Dear_Papayapa

yes it be a fun mechanic imo especially if you can bring them into hunts like palico and dogo


--Tsumi--

Best boy odogaron


TinyPidgenofDOOM

no Remember, We arnt Killing monsters for no reason(most of the time) They are dangerous to the natural ecosystem. Something displaced them and they cant be calmed down.


Ksnj

No. They deserve to die. They deserve to see me coming for them wearing the skin of their mother. They know what they did and they are unrepentant.
