| Introduction |
Averman is back once again to bring to everyone another FAQ. This is my fourth
FAQ so I know the do's and don'ts of making FAQs. (Finally a quality FAQ.) If
anyone has seen or read any of my FAQs, they will recognize the format. I did
make a few tweaks to it though.
Anyway, due to my mini-obsession with finding new games to play, I found a game
called Lil' Monsters. This Pokémon clone caught my interest for a few weeks and
I felt playing this game very fun to play.  Plus, when I found out GameFaqs was
looking for someone to make a FAQ for this game, I jumped to the chance. For
those who don't know, Lil' Monsters is a Pokémon copycat is pretty fun and
should keep you busy playing for a few weeks. (Like it did to me ^^) There is
more info on the game in my Story section. If anyone has any questions,
comments, or suggestions, please email me at Averman62@Hotmail.com.
Lets get down to business.

||| 2. Story |||
The story for this game really isn't the best one but I'll try to explain it
the best I can. Here we go.  One day you just pop up and you find this can. You
find out that this can create monsters if you put gems in it. The type of
monster that comes out it based on how powerful and what type the gem is.
Anyway, you come across a little guy called Hot Joe and the story begins. As
you monster get stronger, you will enter tournaments and face your archrival,
Cool Joe.
Although this is a Pokémon like game, it varies from it allot. First, selecting
from a map of locations to go to while, in Pokémon, you move around from a
"birds eye view" perspective. The monsters resemble animals like foxes,
dinosaurs, and there is one that looks like an old man. ^^ For those wondering,
there are 60+ monsters in this game and plenty to chose from. To get them all,
you'll have to trade gems with your friends. The attacks aren't monster
specific like in Pokémon. Instead, you pick from several unique attacks, in the
form of gems, to put in your deck. They range from throwing rocks to throwing
poop. Yes, poop!! (More on this deeper in my FAQ.)
||| 3. Walkthrough |||
Here is the walkthrough for the Lil' Mosnter game. It's highly recommended that
you play like I described it. I know you probably don't like to here that but
the way I did it is the easiest way. To look for more information on items and
places, check the sections after this one.
| Prelude |
As you enter the game you'll see a red bouncing guy around in front of a hurt
monster. His name is Hot Joe. As you continue to enter the story, you'll pick a
name for yourself and then a monster. The can that you found can turn gems into
monsters. When picking a monster, choose a gem and it will go into the can, and
out comes a monster. Here is what you'll get with each gem, what type they are,
and what they look like:
Kick: Marion - Spades - White/blue cat
Nail: Tongo - Clubs - Blue dinosaur
Needle: Makmki - Heart - Orange/brown thing with a beehive (or something) on
his head
Punch: Elias - Diamond - Looks kinda like a red teletuby
Heal: Cupee - Heart - A blue dolphin
Catcher: Pocky - Diamond - Orange cat
Be warned that the gems that you are picking from are part of your deck that
you will be battling with. Unless you really want Cupee, don't pick the Heal
card. Heal will be very important to you when you start. Your probably
wondering what the diamonds, heart, spades, and clubs have to do with anything.
Well, this is how it goes, Spade creatures are weak against Diamonds, Diamonds
are weak against Clubs, Clubs are weak against Hearts, and Hearts are weak
against Spades. That's how it goes.
Then you'll enter your very first battle. It will be against a Hebo of the
heart type. This is gonna be really easy but it is a good practice that let you
get used to battles. You'll also gain a little experience and gain a gem. After
the easy battle, you'll hear about Hot Joe's brother, Cool Joe. After
that......the game begins.
| Getting Started - Welcome to Can World!!! |
Time to get started. Hit A and go to the move option. DON'T search the Tan
Fields yet because Cool Joe will be there to fight you and you're not ready for
him yet. You'll now see the few places you can go. But first you should go to
Olive Town. A little red guy, who works at the Gem School, will be there and he
will take you to the Gem School. There he will tell you the basics of the game
and ask for money when your done. Too bad you don't have any. ^^
After you got the information you need, head back to Olive Town and search the
area. You'll find two empty cans. You can use these to get other monster to
open new areas or give you money. These happen based on the monster and item
you give it. Right now you should start experimenting with 'set' option to
start fighting other monsters.
| Earning Some Money - $$$$ |
I know you already tried to go to Goods Shop and try to buy stuff but were low
on money or just didn't have any.  Unfortunately, you gonna have to work hard
for it. Here is how you can earn some money. Go the gem part of your menu and
select set. You'll see one card, probably Clutz, pick it and you'll enter a
battle with a Hebo. This time Hebo isn't that easy because he'll actually try
to fight back. After each battle with Hebo you'll gain experience and gain a
Clutz gem. This goes for every monster you fight except you'll get a gem and
experience based on the monster you fight. You should experiment with each gem
you own because the more battles, the more different monsters, and the more
gems you'll get. With these new gems, you can increase the attack power of your
monster. I have a list of all of the attack gems in my Attack Section. (Scroll
down further in my FAQ) Plus, you can sell these gems to gain lots of money.
This is just a beginning tactic of making money. If you lose a battle, your
monster will die. (More on this in my raising Your Monster section)
Anyway, selling gems isn't the only way to make money. If you have been giving
monster items, like you should, you should've opened up lots of new areas other
than Olive Town. Here is a list of the games that can make you the most money:
If you managed to open up Aloe Lake, you can play the Fishing Game. To play
this, just go to the area in Aloe Lake, use a batter, your monster will do a
dance, and an old man will come out of the building. He will ask you if you
want fishing job and when you say 'yes', you will enter the game. You can make
lots of money here. The MiniCar Game and Gem Rock are location where you can
win a variety of things like money, gems, or other various items. For more info
on these games and the other games, check the Places to Go section.
| Testing Your Skill - Time To Fight >:) |
Right now you should be 'setting' battles so you can enhance your monster's
deck and overall power. You should be doing fine but don't move on too quick
though. This is because you are battling weak monsters and getting stronger
gems thus getting stronger monsters. You might end up fighting a monster too
strong and it might end up killing your monster. I know you don't wanna see
that happen. Good gems to put in your deck in the beginning levels are Kick,
Headbutt, and Heal. You can also get some good gems at the arena plus a little
money. Try entering League C. It costs 10 coins to join because it's little
leagues. You can easily build up the power of your monster with the gems you
get in this league.
NOTE: If you don't want to lose your monster, save before you set battles,
enter an arena league, or when you fight Cool Joe.
When you feel your ready, you can fight Cool Joe for the first time. He is in
the Tan Field that you weren't supposed to go in. Now it's best that you go
there to fight Cool Joe and win. Here is some info and strategies to beating
his monster:
