      I think shen megami tensi didn’t before them. Dragon quest might have, but I’m not sure about that one.

        Digital Debil Story Megami Tensei 1989 beats Pokemon, so Atlus should 100% sue Nintendo to give them a taste of their own medicine.

        Can confirm, DQ5 (1992) had monster catching. Not sure if I’d call it summoning, but Pokemon took clear inspiration from that game in particular.
