History Trivia / DragonQuestMonsters

* TheWikiRule: [[http://dragonquestmonsters.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Quest_Monsters_Wiki The Dragon Quest Monsters Wiki]].

* SequelGap: There had been six year since the release of ''Joker 3 Professional'' and ''The Dark Prince''. If the fact that ''The Dark Prince'' is officially ''Dragon Quest Monsters 3'' in Japan, that makes it 22 years since the original release of ''Dragon Quest Monsters 2''.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There was [[https://www.gematsu.com/2018/11/new-dragon-quest-monsters-game-in-development-for-console-starring-erik-and-mia an announcement]] for a ''Dragon Quest Monsters'' game starring younger [[VideoGame/DragonQuestXI Erik and Mia]]. After years of silence, it was reannounced as an entirely new game, ''Dragon Quest Treasure''.

** The bundled Playstation remake of the first two games was never released outside Japan. The group that did the FanTranslation for Caravan Heart have been working on it, but it has been in DevelopmentHell for years now, where over a year has passed between updates about it and it has no prospective completion date.

** The 3DS remakes of the first two Dragon Quest Monsters have never been released outside Japan and Creator/SquareEnix has shown no inclination of possibly ever doing so. A FanTranslation has been completed for both fortunately.

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: Many theories have popped up on methods to legitimately obtaining the three secret monsters ingame in [=DQM2=]. As per typical for the trope, the proposed methods have ridiculous requirements, such as breeding an Orligon and Divinegon together who are both level 99, +99, and with maxed stats, while only having a 1/3 of working to get a Dimensaur, or some variation of the most popular "feed multiples of every possible item to a Dream Egg and then get only a miniscule chance of getting one of the three monsters when you finally hatch the egg". All of these theories have been debunked nor shown any proof of; in particular the popular Dream Egg myth was debunked when it has been figured out that the egg would get "full" (and thus would not accept any more items) before you could give it just 2 of every possible item.

A FanTranslation has been completed of the first game, though unfortunately the second game has had little known progress on one for it.

* NoExportForYou:

** ''Joker 2'' was announced at E3 2011 for a US release, but '''not''' the ''Joker 2 Professional'' version released in March, which added over '''500''' new monsters, rebalanced the game, and added post game content. In addition, the online multiplayer aspect of the game will be completely disabled due to the servers running the ''2 Professional'' software, which is not compatible with ''Joker 2''. Interestingly, localization was actually completed around the time ''Pro'' was released. It's theorized that release was delayed because it could never compete with ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite''.

** ''Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road Victory'', given how long it was been out in Japan with no word on any sort of localization occurring.
