Are there Barcode Battler-style games on phones?

We're talking about like games at Japanese department stores? Ones where you spend 100 Yen coins to play and print out cards as loot drops or monsters that you collect to use and keep steady progress? Because if we are, I would die and go to heaven if I could play Dragon Quest Victory Road on my phone in English instead of only in Japan, I had a ton of fun with it.
Most players keep a digital library of their cards through the barcodes anyway, so it would be cutting out the middleman, with the obvious loss of cool cards to print out and keep. I would be down to have These type of games show up on phones, honestly.
If you mean like those Megaman Battle Network toys, that would also be rad, to have an inventory of cards and barcodes and stuff for these consolidated onto the phone, while still being able to collect and use physical items. I would also be down for those.

Basically those old toys worked by scanning in any barcode and generating game objects from them. The theory was that you'd scan in all kinds of things you buy from stores and such to discover new content but it was apparently garbage.

Huh... I figured there'd be games like Monster Rancher (which I assume is what this kind of is) but googling didn't show me anything. I guess in the modern age it's difficult to create unique methods of obtaining monsters since people would just upload everything online...
