''Lil' Monster'' is an obscure [[Game Boy Color]] [[RPG]]. [[Follow the Leader|Inspired by]] Pokemon, you make a monster beat up other monsters with a "deck" of attacks chosen at random, in the vein of [[Mega Man Battle Network]].
 
While the US saw only ''LiLil'l Monster,'' Japan had two entries in the franchise--this game, known as ''Gem Gem Monster'' there, and a prequel called ''Kandume Monster.''

=== This game contains examples of: ===
Line 27:
* [[Hyperactive Metabolism]]
* [[Interface Screw]]: Several varieties. GemWave completely randomizes your hand, the Confusion status effect will keep you from choosing your moves, Bio and Combat transform your gems into ones that hurt you, and Virus slowly replaces all of your gems with itself, which causes 25 damage every time you use it.
* [[In Universe Game Clock]]: ''LiLil'l Monster'' has one, though the cycle is pretty long--it takes about 3 or 4 real-world hours of gameplay to trigger night. The game can be ''beaten'' in less time than that. Averted with ''Kandume,'' which used a real-time clock.
* [[Infinity+1 Sword]]: The Meteor Drop and Star Change gems. Both as attacks, and when transformed into the [[Infinity+1 Sword|Infinity Plus One]] ''Monsters'', Kromar and Gizmo.
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Par for the course in a children's [[Mons]] game. Including literal, bright-purple rabbits!
Line 45:
* [[Quad Damage]]: The Minhand gem, which doubles you attack, and the HiSpeed gem, which does the same for your speed.
* [[Random Encounter]]: Notable for being a complete and total aversion--except for a few boss fights, you never even see enemies wandering the map! You choose not only when you'll fight, but ''what'' you'll fight.
* [[Sequel First]]: The US-released ''LiLil'l Monster'' is actually a sequel to a Japan-only game called ''Kandume Monster.''
* [[Skippable Boss]]: You don't have to beat Gyro or Argon at all to advance the plot! But if you looselose, you'll looselose a pair of unique gems.
* [[Standard Status Effects]]: Poison decreases your health slowly. Palsy prevents you from moving for a turn. Confusion is an [[Interface Screw]].
* [[Super-Deformed]]: ''All'' of the monsters. Even Gizmo, who's supposed to be a kind of [[Eldritch Abomination]].
