I like to call the Shin Megami Tensei series 'Pokedemon', because it does have the same 'gotta catch 'em all' aspect to it. The combat is turn-based (depending on the sub-series, the exact nature differs, but it's always some form of turn-based).

The demons certainly aren't all cute (they range from cute, to creepy, to frigging weird, in various proportions, depending on the subseries, again), but a big part of the gameplay is collecting them (how they're collected changes, again, by subseries).

Creepy and weird are cool too. Looks great!

Since you mention Pokemon, I assume you have a DS? In which case, I suggest the Devil Survivor games (DS is my second favourite DS game, DS2 is a solid followup.)...The other DS installment, Strange Journey (part of the main series, though not following the numbering), is also great. (I don't have a 3DS, so I can't comment on SMTIV. The Persona (which are only available on various Playstation systems, to be clear) games are fine, but not as good as DS or the main series, IMO.)

I do indeed have a DS. I'll look into those.

Fair warning: Mega Ten is one of the few mons series where you actually kill enemy mons. Also, you generally can't pick up "favorite" mons and keep raising them--sooner or later, you'll need to fuse them to create more powerful mons. I got uncomfortable with Strange Journey, since I was playing this character who was all "Peace with demons! Demons are people too!" while treating his demons like tools and slaughtering everyone in his way.

Good to know. It'll be interesting to see what I think when I get around to playing. I didn't expect to get so many recs! It's gonna take some time to get my hands on them and try all the ones I want to try.

This reminds me once I was trying to explain Shin Megami Tensei to someone and ended up with "It's like Pokemon, but instead of Pikachu you use Satan."

LOL. I'll have to use that one, sometime.
