Do any of you guys have or know where I can find a list of the names of all the monsters in Trade & Battle: Card Hero? I know they're all listed on the official site, but I can't read Japanese, so that's pretty useless to me. I've searched all over for an English fansite or something, but so far I've found nothing.

I see the monster names are almost entirely written in katakana, so it's actually not that hard to "read" them. First, you can simply let the list translate by Google or Excite, such as this one. The translations might not reflect the actual names, though, but it's at least a start. The safest way is to analyse the name vowel by vowel. I use Wikipedia's table of katakana in such cases. Here are all names of the monsters in the Monster & Magic set (unaltered romanisations): 001 Manatotto | 003 Getti | 004 Ponkā | 005 Poponkā | 006 Uōta | 007 Takokkē | 008 Bomuzou | 009 Bomunosuke | 010 Kowairu | 011 Wairudā | 012 Shigoto-nin | 013 Jaresu | 014 Jaretto | 015 Porigoma | 016 Erugoma | 017 Biyondo | 018 Rūju | 019 Makkoi | 020 Yanbaru | 021 Gantā | 022 Dogantā | 023 Varutaru | 024 Kekkou | 025 Surai I spelled them this way since I don't know any official romanisations. I looked up some of the names at Google, but there were no useful results, so there is apparently no English fansite that would list them, sadly. Anyway, there are some names that are likely to be spelled this way in English, also judging by the monsters' appearance: Uōta --> Wata | Wairudā --> Wilder | Rūju --> Rouge | Gantā --> Gunter | Dogantā --> Dogunter | Surai --> Sly (maybe) EDIT: There is an image of the first monster at Nintendo.co.jp that has the file name "manatot.jpg", so this could be the official spelling.  |

Well, this is an area that I think would be worthy of a NinDB encyclopaedia entry on the game  The names are largely in Katakana, which is extremely easy to translate. Trade & Battle: Card Hero (Set 1) - Monsters & MagicTrade & Battle: Card Hero (Set 2) - Magical WorldTrade & Battle: Card Hero (Set 3) - Strange KindTrade & Battle: Card Hero (Set 4) - Super Include |

That's awesome, especially when thinking of that Fry might be the first one who ever made such a list in English.  Sorry for nitpicking, but I think the suffix of "SHIGOTOKUN" is にん (nin) rather than くん (kun), unless there is an error at Nintendo's website. |

Now, for High-Speed Card Battle: Card hero, the website has been done in Flash. Short of screenprinting every card and saving them to NinDB (which I'm not going to do until the pages get encyclopadia'd), I'm just going to list them. High-Speed Card Battle: Card Hero (Set 1) - World of Quest001 - SPARTUS 002 - MANATOT 003 - POPPLE 004 - TAKOKKE 005 - BOMZO 006 - BOMKING 007 - GEIRA 008 - EL SOL 009 - KAMIKIRIMARU 010 - GAO BASARA 011 - POLYSPINNER 012 - T3-00 013 - RUFFY 014 - SAIJU RUFFIO 015 - WILDBULL 016 - TEKKEN SIGMA 017 - BEYOND 018 - ROUGE 019 - YANBARA 020 - GUNTAS 021 - MEGUNTAS 022 - KILLERBI 023 - PHOENIX High-Speed Card Battle: Card Hero (Set 2) - Monster Squad033 - TETOKA 034 - GUNGAGUNGA 035 - BULBOUS & PUFF 036 - FLUR 037 - DONOMANTIS 038 - FALEINA 039 - KENTORIUS 040 - GHOSTSHEEP 041 - JARESS 042 - JARETT 043 - GUMP 044 - HEATRON 045 - ASHI & LOLO 046 - SHITOLAS 047 - BLADEBUSTER DINE 048 - GRYFFON 049 - BALCANNON 050 - ZEK 051 - PYGMY 052 - CLARE 053 - LATINA 054 - SEITEN SOFIAS High-Speed Card Battle: Card Hero (Set 3) - Fantasy Lords066 - DIN 067 - ZOMBIE 068 - JASHIN YANU 069 - FOOL 070 - RAMADA 071 - ANNOUN 072 - VLAD AKUSHAK 073 - ASSASSIN 074 - ADORA 075 - SENTEI BRIDORA 076 - GUNGANAIL 077 - ZES 078 - OYAKODAKE 079 - JUSEI ORINTO 080 - MAD DUMMY 081 - MANX 082 - MAGIS 083 - FUUYO 084 - MAATAN 085 - ORPUS High-Speed Card Battle: Card Hero (Set 4) - Last Imperial099 - GAUNT 100 - KAMARO 101 - YOUKI YOSHINO 102 - SEKI RYU KIBA 103 - SHAKUGA RYU AGITO 104 - UNIFAWN 105 - YUMMY 106 - PYA 107 - LAON 108 - LEON 109 - NUTSROCKLE 110 - MARVELIK 111 - DAROS 112 - LOBOON Some small errors may have occurred here... but for the large part... there you go Kirbs!

Sorry for nitpicking, but I think the suffix of "SHIGOTOKUN" is にん (nin) rather than くん (kun), unless there isn't an error at Nintendo's website. Quite possible. I did these quite quickly, so there may be one or two things worth nitpicking. And please do! I don't want to put wrong stuff on the site if it's likely to be only one out there If this really is the first of its kind in English, then I'm wondering if anyone wants to send me any more detailed info on the game so I can get them on the site! |

That is amazingly awesome. Thanks, Fry! ;D
It's a real shame we never got this game, there are some awesome monster designs in there.

The DS game has a much more serious style... with Yu-Gi-Oh like designs. Even the ones that made it into both games have largely been redesigned into generic anime card monsters. "Beyond", for example, went from being a weird springy clown to a cat with rings on its tail.
I must admit, I prefer the GBC designs by far.

Looks like some of them got slight name changes, too. Bomnosuke and Bomking seem to be essentially the same monster. Same with Polygoma and Polyspinner.

The names are largely in Katakana, which is extremely easy to translate.
