==Inspirations between ''Dragon Quest'' and ''Pokémon''== | |||
*''Dragon Quest V'' was the first game in the series in which [[Monster recruitment|certain monsters from random encounters may offer to join the player's party]]. This concept was an inspiration for the ''Pokémon'' video game series, which debuted several years after ''Dragon Quest V'''s release. | |||
*In a 1998 interview, ''[[Pokémon]]'' creator Satoshi Tajiri revealed that his frustrations over obtaining the [[Mad cap]] were one of the main inspirations for the data exchanging feature his series would become famous for. To wit, he explained he felt a great deal of envy when his childhood friend (and Pocket Monster illustrator) Ken Sugimori managed to get two of them on his save file, and had absolutely no way to share the unneeded one with Tajiri. | |||
*{{DQM}} took the [[Monster recruitment|monster-taming]] elements of {{Dragon Quest V}} and expanded upon them, also borrowing a few mechanics from the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series and addressing the criticisms of that franchise, setting the standards for what would become the "''Dragon Quest Monsters'' series." | |||
==Triva== | |||
*[[Carnivine]] from {{DQ4}}, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Carnivine_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29 shares its name], possibly by coincidence, with ''[[Pokémon]]''. | |||
*[[Wooper trooper]] bears a resemblance in both name and appearance to Wooper from ''[[Pokémon]]''. This is down to the fact that they are both based on the real world [[wikipedia:axolotl|axolotl]], a type of salamander. | |||
