ABOUT US

What This Site Is

Retro Monster Archive is a small editorial project built around classic monster-taming RPGs. We publish practical guides, comparison pieces, history features, and version notes so readers can get their bearings quickly instead of bouncing between scattered forum posts, old wikis, and half-finished videos.

Independence And Affiliation

Retro Monster Archive is independently operated and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures, The Pokemon Company, or any console platform holder. We do not represent ourselves as an official source for any game, character, trademark, publisher, or platform.

The site does not use private, unauthorized, or platform-restricted APIs to obtain game data. The material we publish is written as editorial commentary, comparison, historical context, and reader-facing guidance. Any references to trademarks, game titles, images, or embedded interactive views are used for identification and contextual discussion.

What We Publish

  • Guide Pages: Quick summaries, route notes, and refresher material for individual versions
  • Version Comparisons: Editorial advice on pacing, feel, feature changes, and who a version suits
  • History Features: Long-form pieces about release eras, hardware shifts, and design habits that lasted
  • Embedded Reference Views: On-page interactive views that sit alongside the editorial material rather than replacing it
  • Support Pages: Clear contact, policy, and rights-holder information so the site is easy to review and easy to reach

Editorial Process

We write for readers who want clear answers and a bit of perspective. That means each piece is shaped around practical questions first, then checked for accuracy and tone before it goes live. When a page starts feeling too generic, too padded, or too much like a spec sheet, we rework it.

  • We prefer direct, readable writing over keyword-heavy filler
  • We revise pages when readers report broken links, outdated notes, or rough explanations
  • We try to separate editorial commentary from ownership claims and official branding
  • We keep contact routes open for corrections, removal requests, and factual issues

Scope

This project is focused on editorial coverage of classic handheld RPGs and closely related versions. We are not an official publisher source, and we do not claim ownership of trademarks, characters, or original game assets. When official releases are available, readers should always prefer and support those releases.

How The Site Is Maintained

We keep the site intentionally simple so pages load fast and stay easy to maintain:

  • Astro for fast static publishing
  • Static pages for reliable loading and clean indexing
  • Responsive layouts for desktop and mobile reading
  • Editorial pages updated in batches as guides and comparisons expand
  • Interactive views loaded only when a reader chooses to open them

Updates And Corrections

We treat corrections like part of normal maintenance, not a special case.

  • Broken links, inaccurate notes, and unclear sections are reviewed as they come in
  • Substantive page updates are usually folded into broader editorial refreshes
  • Rights-holder and removal messages are handled separately from general feedback
  • We aim to reply to direct inquiries within 2 business days

Contact Information

Have questions, suggestions, correction notes, or copyright concerns? We keep the inboxes separated so the right requests get handled quickly, and we aim to respond within 2 business days.
