Question About Imagen in Ni No Kuni DS
I've been playing through the DS fan translation for the last few days and I finally got to the part where I can tame Imagen ("familiars", for the PS3/Switch/PC gamers out there). Naturally, I did what any obsessive player would do: backtracked my way to the first dungeon and recruited one of every Imagen I found along the way.
There's one issue, though: no matter how many times I fight them, I can't tame Splisher from the Northern Forest (first dungeon), all 4 Water type Imagen from the Catnap Sewers (Flipp, Danglerfish, Taddlywink and Mishell) and Shrimpaler from Mount Dekarock. At first, I thought it might be some bug from the fan translation (I've heard there are a few here and there), but I tried loading my save in the untranslated japanese ROM and it didn't change anything.
Has anyone here played through the DS version and gone through the same problem? So far, taming Imagen has been very easy in this game: I just need to wait a few turns, sometimes whittling down the enemies' HP, sometimes doing nothing at all, and it'll be enough for them to want to be tamed. I have no idea why those 6 random Imagen are the only ones I can't ever tame. Is there a trick to making them want to join me?
