IIRC, Tiger is a mistranslation of "Raiga," and given the fact that the TV show and all other merchandise kept using the name, it's just one of those crappy mistranslations that stuck because that's what everyone was used to. Same thing with Magikarp's "Splash" attack and why other Pokémon that have nothing to do with water can learn "Splash" as well; realistically, a better translation would've been "Hop" or "Flop."

@@Cubey3 Funny you should mention that! While mum's the word on how the heck we went from Raiga to Tiger, we DO know that Nob Ogasawara (one of the translators who worked on Pokémon's localization in the games) talked about the whole "Splash vs Flop" debacle in an old discussion on the LPArchive, under his Something Awful username "Doug Dinsdale": "I told them that "Splash" is no substitute for "Flop" (more appropriate for a fish than "Hop"), but my NOA handler wouldn't listen. I didn't have enough clout back then, so I wasn't about to lose my job over several stupid translations foisted on me by that dumbass. Just as I suspected, that wrong translation would come back to haunt us in subsequent games. That's why it's so damned important to get the translation spot on from the get-go. That said, a lot of translation is subjective and situational, so "Flop" would've been kind of problematical for the pokemon that "hop" instead of "flop.""

Raiga was translated as Rygar, and is the title of a very early tecmo game.

@@spritelessGirl Yeah, NOWADAYS there's members of the fanbase who know better, and the "Rygar" translation would've made MORE sense when the the original MR released and Rygar was still considered a solid NES game at the time back in 1997 - but we ended up with "Tiger" instead, completely eroding any correlation between either of Tecmo's franchises in the West. Believe me, I'd rather live in a timeline where I could talk to your average Joe who's curious about Monster Rancher and be like "Oh yeah, see that blue wolf creature with horns? That's Rygar; did you know it's named after another Tecmo game on the NES?" and not "Oh, that's Tiger. You're probably wondering why it looks like a wolf and not a tiger. Well..."

Tiger was part of the main cast in the anime and I loved it as a kid :D It also had a rather dramatic story - the actual edge lord of the team. Nowadays, I'd definitely go for Suezo, who also was part of the main cast as a cowardly sidekick. I'll be getting this game as a christmas gift for myself, so I'm getting kinda hyped.

it doesn't really matter, MR2 has more of basically everything than MR1. There are some monsters limited to MR1 though. It'd probably feel weird going from MR2 to MR1 as to just has more content and would feel more polished in comparison.
