In competetions, there is something called popularity and medal thing.
What are they?
And when I tried to go to an E rank official kalassium, it says that, are you sure you want to compete? your popularity will drop.
So, is popularity important in the first place?

@177 Take it out to play, or give it the stress reduction grass.

@178, You can sell metals for money. Participating in ranked activities lower than your own will lower popularity. You need at least 20 popularity to go exploring.

Makiocento, why would you want your monster to be in a tuf relationship with you? Your relationship is improving. Sp.

When can I start searching in the ruins with my monster?
When ever I try to, it says that my monster isn't powerfull enough.

I just downloaded the new update. where do I go to copy my save file? what's new in the new version?

copy the user data folder from the old installation to the new one.

Are you picking different files or just using the same one? If you're picking other files and getting slimes, maybe you're just terribly unlucky.

I think I'm gonna let my poor wormcat just rest for now, though I might wanna run her in another competition to get more money. I am at least getting better at earning gold than I was at first.

All this talk of Monster Rancher is making me very excited! I hope there are all sorts of hidden goodies in here like there were in those games!

So I've revived half a dozen monsters or so and left them in the hibernation chamber. Is that too many? Will I need to revive and raise any more after a while? I mean, tough as your monster is, you're gonna need another participant to merge into the next child in the chain.

Also, for those wondering how many monsters there are, look in your house, in the monster dictionary. The numbers are at least in the hundreds.

Oh, forgot to mention a bug.

If you check the instructions (description in game) for walking in the park while you are walking in the park, the game crashes.

regarding monster relationship. There is something about being too nice. If you are too nice to a monster, it will cap out where your relationship will go, your monster can get lazy, or it's stats can take a penalty in competitions. (not actual stat drops but they might have something like they perform as though their stats were 80% of their actual value.)

Sometimes you'll want a particular relationship with a monster. Monsters that are cowardly or soft need tender loving care, while tough monsters with things like rage, bravery, or other "tough personalities" do better if they are challenged and treated a little tougher.

Tough personality monsters do best under tougher relationships while you need to be fuzzy lovey-dovey with monsters who have softer ones and then they'll do better in training and such.

I'll tell you, a "doting" relationship is not a good thing. That basically means you are spoiling your monsters rotten and  very few monsters respond to that wll in the long run, it can even impact their health in many cases.

if you start to get "too nice" a good thing to do is give monsters food they hate, make them train a long time without play or rewards, or even give them some of the items that make them angry or items that make them unhappy.

Also, although this has been said before, never enter a contest lower than your monster's current rank. If your monster has completed the E rank official competition in something, they shouldn't compete in that any more and only compete in D or higher.

Hello, I think I found a bug in the latest version. When using NVDA in the english version, when a letter arrives, NVDA doesn't seem to read all of the contents of the letter. I try pressing my arrow keys and NVDA wants to say something but it doesn't say anything. Strange.

I got slimes when trying to get a new monster from the market. I wanted a cat and got a slime.
