Let's face facts here. Pokémon games will never appear on the PlayStation since Nintendo has those rights locked up for the next millennium. Still, if you are looking for a game that lets you catch monsters, train them, and guide them through numerous battles, you can still find that challenge on the PlayStation in Jade Cocoon. That is, if you can live without those pesky Pokémon creatures.
Jade Cocoon allows you to seek and collect millions of different monster combinations. You catch the beasts in the course of your quest to save your hometown. Once caught, the monsters help you build strength and power through combat as you prepare for the final showdown.
Jade Cocoon is a graphical tour de force from beginning to end. The animation of the characters and monsters are smooth, and the special effects for spells and other attacks are stunning. The audio is equally impressive.
While the multimedia effects may have held our attention, it was the gameplay that kept us coming back for another round of play. Success in combat relies on the strategic development of monsters, coupled with immediate tactical decisions during each battle. We spent hours testing possible monster combinations, thanks to a well-implemented preview window that lets players preview a monster merger before committing to the change. There's little guidance in the manual on effective combinations, but with a little common sense and a lot of mad-scientist experimentation, you will ultimately prevail. And although this isn't Pokémon, possibly 'catch 'em all.' --T. Byrl Baker
Pros:
- Terrific graphics
- Detailed storyline
- Millions of potential monsters

Rating: - Jade Cocoon Review
I'm very much enjoying this game. The graphics are grate for a PS1 game and the story line is interesting. Moving the character around is a bit awkward but it's only a minor inconvenience. I definitely suggest this game (and it's sequel) to those who want a simple monster capture and combining RPG.
Rating:  - JADE COCOON COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By far, JC is the best Playstation game I have ever played. It is my personal favorite game. I am completely in love with the Eternal Corridor. After you have beaten the game, it is accessable to you. It features all new minions that aren't featured in the original game. The storyline is OK, but where this game really shines is the graphics. This game is quite possibly the most detailed playstation game out there graphicwise. The only thing that can match it is probably the Spyro series. As you may ... Read More

This is one of the very few RPG's I've played more than three times. (The other notable mention is Final Fantasy VI.) If you take Pokemon, strip out 90% of the childish nonsense, give it beautiful music, dreamlike landscapes, a plot, character development, and interresting monsters that can take on a multitude of forms, you get Jade Coccoon.
Jade Coccoon has a dreamlike fairy-tale quality that I enjoy. There is character development and an actual plot. The sound track is beautiful; I wish ... Read More
Rating: - Don't confuse this with pokemon
Yes you do fight with monsters and yes you are a kid. But this game has a rich storyline with many character relationships. Different from pokemon you can fight yourself. Although the graphics are bit out dated they still look awsome and the anime videos are fantastic. The music works well with the game and the voices of the characters are well placed for those who dont want to read. Overall its a great game and well worth the money.

this game is really cool because unlike pokemon you can merge the monsters together and if you do it in different order you will get different monsters. so if you want to get a playstation game get jade cocoon
