[[Cobi]] and [[Tara]] are siblings. Their family came to the kingdom of [[GreatLog]] to make a living as monster breeders. Shortly after they arrive, their mother tells them to pick up a Nut Pie from the town Vault. As they are heading towards the Vault, they run into [[Prince Kameha]] and his companion [[Warubou]], who are known for making trouble for the townspeople. Unfortunately, after the siblings get the pie, it is taken by the Prince and Warabou. Cobi and Tara follow them to the inside of the tree underneath the kingdom, where the two are arguing about who should get the goods. Cobi and Tara try to get the pie back but, in the process, knock a big plug out of a hole. The Prince leaves frantically and Warabou uses himself to plug up the hole. He tells Cobi and Tara that the plug allows the island of GreatLog to stay afloat and without it, it will sink. He tells them to get a monster master and ask for his or her assistance. But when they cannot find anyone who will believe or help them, Warabou says that they will have to do it. A quest to save the kingdom has now begun.

On release, Famitsu magazine scored the game a 34 out of 40. According to Famitsu, ''Dragon Quest Monsters 2'' has sold 1,592,728 copies in Japan. Like ''Dragon Quest Monsters'' before it, this game was immediately compared to ''Pokémon'', a series with similar monster-catching gameplay. However, critics established it as more than just a mere "''Pokémon'' clone".
