The show was also quite different from the other Mon shows at the time ( Pokémon, Digimon) in that the human protagonists were not afraid to battle alongside the monsters.Īfter 14 years, the series got a complete English and Japanese box set release thanks to Discotek Media. The third never aired on TV in the U.S., but was dubbed, and is available online to watch. The show managed to run for three seasons, two of which aired stateside on Fox Kids and ABC Family, respectively. Much like the games it was based off, the show became a big Cult Classic and today is often regarded as one of the best animated shows based off a video game.
