I've been trying to find the name of this show for YEARS. I watched it every
day when I was young (around 10 years ago now). I'm pretty sure it was on
Channel 5 (for all you English people) in the early morning since I would
watch it before school.

All I can remember is that there was a group of kids and they'd travel to
different places (maybe times too?) and would have to capture some kind of
monster (similar to Pokemon/Digimon) that was causing havoc. Each monster I
believe was recaptured in an egg (each egg was also unique) and there was
usually just one per episode. There may have been some kind of scientist
involved with a machine that sent them to these places? But my memories may
just be getting confused with Pokemon at that point. I know it wasn't Monster
Rancher as I've had suggested by friends but beyond that I've no clue.

Any ideas? I really loved it and it would be amazing to rediscover it after
all these years.

flint-the-time-detective
Old Anime (similar to Pokemon) that involved going to different places (/times?) and capturing monsters in their eggs?


It sounds like [**Flint the Time
Detective**](http://myanimelist.net/anime/2281/Jikuu_Tantei_Genshi-kun)

In particular there are creatures called [time-
shifters](http://flintthetimedetective.wikia.com/wiki/Time_Shifters) that can
assume different forms, among which there is an egg-like form ([monster
egg](http://flintthetimedetective.wikia.com/wiki/Monster_Eggs)).
