Now, if some people are more than a little too excited to get Mons, I'd better explain how to tame your own damn Mons.
The main way of finding Mons is going outside. Scary, right? It turns out that wild animals live in the wild. You could buy or barter for a trained one, but don't count on it. Therefore, we'll focus on wild Mons.
Every Mon is an individual, thus every Mon has their own idea of who's worth obeying. However, there's one thing that they're all fascinated by: Pogs. Use your Pog Collection to Impress wild Mons, and they will admire you enough for you to befriend them. Every failed attempt to tame a Mon will risk losing one or more Pogs. By the way, trying to Impress someone else's Mon is likely to get your ass beat.
More powerful Mons care less about cardboard discs which humans haven't cared about in decades, so you'll need to spend a good portion of your prize money on Booster Packs for more and better Pogs.
When you encounter a Mon, get your own Mon to engage it. The wild Mon will be easier to impress if you bruise its pride (and body) with Damage and Ailments. They're durable beasts, but it's felony animal abuse to critically injure a Mon; their HP is a measure of how long a Mon can last until the fight becomes a massacre and it's time to back off. It's important to strategize how far you'll damage a Mon before you start trying to Impress it, especially since Stressing the Mon can turn the tides against you.
The more damage a wild Mon takes, the more likely it is to Stress at any time. A Mon's Stress is influenced by its species and growth. The Stresses are Fleeing the scene, becoming Frenzied and more dangerous, or Fortifying itself against further harm. There's another one, but what are you, like, ten? Go ask your dad about it. There's only one species it applies to anyways.
If none of your Mons will keep fighting, in theory you could confront the wild Mon yourself, but take my advice: don't bother. I've never met a Mon that can't send the average person to the emergency room. Trained Mons should be called off by their owner, but wild Mons may not hesitate to rip chunks off of you. Trust me, your Pogs aren't that great. Don't risk it.
