Dragon Quest Monsters and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children come to mind.

Digimon World Dusk/Dawn are very pokemonlike as far as Digimon goes, and are pretty good for a DS rpg.

Telefang - a surprisingly decent Pokemon ripoff that is most known for its badly translated romhack that tried to pass it off as an actual Pokemon game

Basically every Shin Megami Tensei game, with the exception of Persona 3 and 4 and the Digital Devil Saga/Avatar Tuner games.

May I specify Dragon Quest Monsters 2 and Joker 2? They are the good entries of the subseries.
The first Jade Cocoon is also pretty good.
There's also Azure Dreams, which you may or may not like depending on your stance on rogue-likes. The GBC version is a lot easier, but the PSX version has the dating and city building that makes the repetitive crawling more fun.
Honestly, most other monster collecting games go a bit a different route than Pokemon, especially the MegaTens, since until the PS2 games, none of the demons level, so they are more tools that have to be upgraded for better ones constantly instead of companians you choose based on cuteness. That does weirdly include the Devil Children/Demikids games, but they are awful anyways.

Yo-Kai Watch! I like the monsters in that one, and the anime and manga is funny. Catching them is not as fun as Pokemon or Shin Megami Tensei however. You have to feed them, and that isn't always a guarantee you friend them. I heard the sequel is better at this feature.
I wish I bought those Monster Ranchers. The games are pricy, and I doubt Tecmo can get the disc reading feature to work on PSN.

I wonder if Suikoden counts, finding all 108 Stars is like the "collecting monster" genre.
The term Pokemon clones and quality of these games are debatable:
-Robopon, the grindy Pokemon clone (even design)
-Spectrobes (not a clone, but definitely inspired)
-Jade Cocoon (it has rock-paper-scissors system and minions can transform, this things has also Pokemon)
Yours sincerely

I recall there were a lot of Pokemon clones for the Game Boy Color back then. Also out of curiosity was there any games kind of like Pokemon before the franchise began?

Also out of curiosity was there any games kind of like Pokemon before the franchise began? Shin Megami Tensei, specifically the original Megami Tensei. Dragon Quest V had monster recruits. Not much else I know of. Pokemon did most to popularized the concept. |

There is Minomonsters on the iOS! It is a freemium game that looks really like a knockoff so if you have something with iOS you can give it a try xD

There's a game for mobile called Band of Monsters... it's more similar to Dragon Quest Monsters, than Pokemon. But it's pretty much all about monster breeding and grinding.
