As surprising as this may sound, all I needed to do to quench this thirst was to download a few free aps that have my favourite elements of the original series. My must haves? Cute things, breeding cute things into different cute things, cute things evolving into new cute forms and capturing cute things. What defines cute for me? Fuzzy, big eyed, cat like, bunny like, fox like, puppy like, and tiny.
Tiny Monsters, Tiny Castle and Tiny Village are three free games that will cover you on breeding, evolving, and collecting tiny little cute things. I play all of these games at once to get a more rounded cute hit. Despite them all having the same sort of concept, there are subtle differences between them. These games are great if you love playing god, if you think you are a god, or if you aspire to one day be a god of your own religion.
Monster Galaxy is the other crucial element. I don't believe you can evolve your creatures, but in this game you can battle monsters and catch them, expanding your collection. What breeding aspects you lack in this game, you make up for with the previous three. Word of warning, if you are an Aquarius like me, it seems like you have a crap selection of cute monsters under your constellation. It's desperately sad, but at least you can still catch the cute monsters from other collections, and feel like you've accomplished something with your day.
The last step is to ignore any screen caps, or comments people make about the new Pokemon game. Remember, you can't afford it, so play these free games to make you feel included with the popular kids who can afford it. Also remember that high school never ends, then cry. Then after your cry, play more of these games, and continue the cycle.
