also, MedievalDukemon, MameTyramon, DinoRexmon, DinoTigemon, GrandisKuwagamon, and GigaSeadramon and the entire Dorumon and Ryudamon lines are great original designs while also being X-antibody Digimon.

also, I'm gonna be honest, I don't see how Craniummon X is less solidly built than his normal design



He's not super narrow in the abs department but hes not what I'd call heavyweight either. His proportions are more overall normal adult human proportioned, really, and his biceps are pretty small. He's kind of got Mega Man character arm syndrome going on without being overly thin like LordKnightmon or made of tubes like Omegamon.

LordKnightmon X is just gonna be a mass of ribbons in the shape of a man

Examon X will be a huge pair of wings with a tiny dragon at the center

Gankoomon X just gets a bigger beard

I also like PrinceMamemon X more than normal PrinceMamemon

PrinceMamemon X is more debatable but I absolutely agree about Gomamon X and I can't believe I forgot about that super cute thing.

Wouldn't be the first time we get SMT designs in Digimon, seeing how the Devil Survivor guy designed the humans of the modern Digimon games.

X-Antibody Digimon are typically designed by an artist called Az'maria, who has never done anything with SMT, to my knowledge.

Getting a heavy metal avatar leads to far fewer regrets than a heavy metal tattoo.
Digimon Tri is pretty much SMT, down to the force of chaos and order fighting for control with a bunch of kids pulled in the middle.

Digimon owes a lot of itself conceptually to SMT in general. None of those elements originated in Tri, to be honest. All that's differed has been the tone, usually.

I remember someone described Digimon as being the tonal mid-point between Pokemon and SMT. I don't totally agree since Digimon is usually more towards Pokemon than SMT, but it's not a particularly bad way to think about such things.

That's fair enough, I just feel like Tri gave me the most vibes. Ordinemon even looks like an SMT final boss.

So I'm sure plenty of you guys are aware of that one site/app for doing Pokemon Fusions(and it's more recent ones for Dragon Ball and One Piece), apparently they recently released a similar app for Digimon(a dedicated site for that one hasn't materialized yet though), and it's got a decent selection right now that lead to some interesting combinations

Yeah, aside from having kids as the protagonists and the whole unique monsters that can evolve into other forms aspect they're completely different beasts (Digimon is much more story-driven for example). Also, I don't remember if the games, anime or manga started first but doesn't Digimon technically predate Pokemon at least by a few months (in Japan anyway)?

Actually no. The very first Digimon V-Pets, the inception point for the franchise, were released in 1997. Pokemon Red and Green version came out in 1996. I believe the original Digimon V-pet may predate the Pokemon Anime, but it doesn't predate Pokemon as a whole.

Of course the two series come from divergent points of evolution. The story of Pokemon is that it was inspired by Satoshi Tajiri's love of bug catching and the Japanese sport of beetle wrestling whereas Digimon was basically Tamagotchi for boys.

The V-Pets did come out before Pokemon was even announced in the US, though.

we have a profile for Erismon now that ReArise is out in Japan.

quote:

It is brimming with curiosity and will lose sight of its surroundings once it finds something to fixate on, although it is also highly cautious and will make its hard, needle-like quills stand on end when it is afraid, curling up into a ball until no sign of danger remains. However, it gets very attached to those it has warmed up to, and will show them its favourite treasures that it keeps stashed in its fur. It seems to have a habit of going on guard whenever it spots a Tailmon, due to having been bullied several times in the past. Its Special Moves are attacking the opponent by shooting lightning-coated quills (Lightning Fur), and curling its body up into a ball and charging forth (Kenzan Dive).

Are hedgehogs and cats natural enemies or something? It's the only explanation I get for randomly namedropping Tailmon here.

Like, as far as I know, the natural enemy of a hedgehog normally is a fat guy with a cool moustache.

Nodosaur
Dec 23, 2014

well, a hedgehog is called a “harinezumi” or “needlemouse”in Japan, do they may just be going for the cat vs. mouse thing.

That being said there’s a Plotmon that evolves into Tailmon in the cast so maybe they have an adversarial relationship and it’s based on that.

Hedgehogs are usually under threat from dogs more than cats.

I get their idea of making new Omegamons, but it'd be neat to see ones that are fusions of existing Digidestined Digimon instead of making up new Digimon for them.

Like imagine some sorta Vikemon/HeraklesKabuterimon combo. That would rule.

Nodosaur
Dec 23, 2014

Eh. I prefer focusing on using new Digimon or ones for other seasons for that instead of more Adventure wankery.

We’re overdue for a ShineGreymon + MirageGaogamon and VictoryGreymon + Z’dGarurumon. And stuff like Ordinemon and GraceNovamon break the mold from and do fusions differently in interesting ways instead of just sticking two hands onto a Royal Knight.

Look at groups that actually go together and compliment each other. A fusion between Marsmon, SlashAngemon, and Cannondramon because they're the DW3 protagonists. A Three great angels fusion into a one of those elaborate and terrifying angelic beings from the Bible instead of another big winged humanoid in armor. Jupitermon and Junomon. Heck, try Dukemon and Beelzebumon, maybe.

Oh yeah, that would be good too, those two were the first to come to my mind though. And realistically if we do get new combos it will probably be Adventures stuff. It just seems that every new big mega level fusion is just an armory Gundam knight instead of something more out there like some of the ones you suggested.

Nodosaur
Dec 23, 2014

Ordinemon is very much not the sort of thing. And GraveNovamon at least breaks the mold by not just sticking Apollomon and Dianamon onto its arms and just generally approaches it from the angle of two stellar-themed Digimon becoming an even more vast stellar themed Digimon.

But honestly, making them all "armory" is an easy way of combining so many disparate elements. I can't think of a way to combine Vikemon and HerakleKabuterimon that just doesn't look like one wearing the other as a suit of armor, or an Omegamon/Chaosmon type with beetle and walrus heads for hands.

So, back in January I preordered the 20th Anniversary Digimon Pendulums. They just arrived, and it's not too complicated. Only problem is that it's complicated enough to warrant reading the manual... which is in Japanese.

I've pretty much figured it out at this point. Right now I have a Ganimon and a Yokomon.

EDIT: after doing some research, it looks like the only way to get Ragna Lordmon is to also have the 20th Anniversary V-pet, because the pendulums don't have the Zubamon line
