Play the PS1 game, Digital Card Battle. It's genuinely super good.

If you want a real card game I have nothing to show you though, I have no idea about any of the real card games. Just the PS1 game which is excellent, one of the three games I genuinely think are top-tier in Digimon (alongside Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory)

Yeah. Honestly, Digimon is surprisingly non-furry, when you really think about it. By the time most Digimon are turned into runway models, they're also 90% human.

There's a reason why regular Renamon is the furry icon of Digimon and you don't have a lot of others joining her

Generally the more animalistic you are, the more kaiju-y you are. No one is clamoring for Garudamon to be the next fetish star

I think the Battle Spirits is pretty decent since they're on their third digimon focused set by now.

Wargreymon/BlackWarGreymon and Weregarurumon are pretty popular with the furry crowd as well.

I can't speak in depth about the old Hyper Colosseum game (IE the one that gets revived every anniversary to have new cards for new stuff), but I've heard it had serious drat issues with power creep. Years and years ago someone who actually played it complained on a forum that after a certain point they printed a bunch of cards that were just generically too good at everything and that there was a huge disparity where most of the cards were worthless (or made worthless because near everything became immune to them) and the cards that were good. Having read some translations for cards it really doesn't strike me as a particularly healthy game either for various reasons.

According to this brazilian site, Toei is planning to put Tri in Latin American theaters. Considering Digimon is widely overshadowed by DB here, I doubt it will be a successful endeavor.

I don't think that's gonna be the case. Tri aired in a limited amount of theaters in Japan, I'm sure they're assuming a similar benchmark here.

Beyond the unneccesary fanservice shot in Noir, those animations really are incredibly good, especially for an unofficial game. Whoever's behind it put some serious effort.

From what I can get, according to the artist. NEXT was supposed to be a manga adaptation of Savers, but Savers had some delays that forced them to modify the plan into an original story.

That NEXT was meant to be a Savers manga makes a lot of sense when you consider they share the same Digivice (well, until both series upgrade into totally different ones), the same Digisoul mechanic, and three out of four Digimon. It's probably for the best that that plan didn't go through, since thanks to that we got two good stories, and considering NEXT is the weaker of both, i can't imagine a Savers manga would be worth remembering as much as the Savers anime is.

It helps that VictoryGreymon is a way stronger design than ShineGreymon, who looks like a happy meal toy.

Hitlersaurus Christ

Man, you joke but it would have been rad if they had Digimon happy meal toys back when I was a kid. Instead they had these metal Taco Bell trading cards that I tried to collect all of anyway despite not liking Taco Bell at all. I think they came with promo cards for the card game but they were mostly misprinted so the border would be thick on one side and thin on the other, and I think they even had some names translated wrong too. Nobody I knew even played the card game, either. So many quesadillas, all for such a hollow reward.

Victory Greymon is 80 percent WarGreymon with the head and weapons changed.

ShineGreymon has actual design continuity with his previous forms and does something new. He’s the far superior design.

He doesn’t look as cool though, tbh

Nodosaur

i disagree strongly because, while I don’t dislike the design by any means, I can’t get over how held back VG is by not offering much that WarGreymon doesn’t.

ShineGreymon has new attacks, new powers, a different personality, and a whole new look. VictoryGreymon is WarGreymon with a new sword. A sword that can even be installed on his arms as weapons, just in case your orange armored dragon knight having to physically hold his weapon is too scary and different.

It's true Victory is clearly heavily based on War but at the same time Shine looks awful. Shine Burst Mode is a far better design though, so I can't totally hate it, but after GeoGreymon and RizeGreymon are improvements over the original Agumon line, ShineGreymon is disappointing in how overboard they went and how toy-like it looks.

It's not like it matters because Gaioumon is the best WarGreymon anyways.

I mean, don't get me wrong. The OG WarGreymon kicks both designs' asses six ways to sunday. But at least VictoryGreymon is just a mild iteration on a classic design. ShineGreymon has a hideous ketchup and mustard color palette, a weird man face, and soft, nubby wings that looked way more mechanical and interesting on his RizeGreymon form.

It feels like someone took a Dorugoramon and forgot to make it cool or good.

Also, I'll agree Gaioumon is a way better WarGreymon-like. Dishonorable mention to Blitzgreymon, who has a monochrome color palette, casette players for wings, and an inability to handle basic objects to having guns for hands. He exists entirely to give us a fifth unneeded Omnimon variant, too, because "what if Greymon was gun and Garurumon was sword this time" is clearly the final frontier of Digimon design.

WarGreymon was literally designed to *be* a transforming toy. I don't know how ShineGreymon could possibly be seen as being more toylike; he's armored, yes, but in the same way the majority of Ultimate level digimon are. And I can't see his colorscheme as ill fitting when his imagery derives from the sun; red and yellow are the colors to use there.

Gaioumon also has an armored, humanoid-looking face; his face is a human-proportioned one with his horns attached to his helmet, so I'm not sure why you're docking ShineGreymon for that when you praise another design that does the exact same thing. In fact, he nonsensically wears a gas mask, even. ShineGreymon wears a sensible faceplate, in comparison.

I just like the fact that ShineGreymon was different looking enough to give the Savers Agumon more of an identity than "skinnier versions of the normal Agumon line" as the others were.

War Greymon looks cool and swords are cool, therefore Victory Greymon is double cool. Sorry, it’s just math.
Shine Greymon is more unique and makes a better follow-up to Rize, but is kind of a clusterfuck of a design.

I'll agree as a Rize follow-up, VictoryGreymon is really disappointing. My ideal Rize follow-up would be something like DeckerGreymon tbh, where its basically a dragon tank.

Nodosaur
Dec 23, 2014

I don't really think that fits Masaru, honestly. RizeGreymon's all cybernetic, but he's also athletic-looking and one of his attacks is a pistolwhipping.

Masaru's Agumon needs to evolve into something relatively humanoid that can engage the enemy one on one. Lots of dakka isn't really his thing.

But Z'dGarurumon is the one that is really unfitting. Taking a line known for speedy attacks and making the Ultimate form a four legged tank... doesn't fit it at all, and smacks of just being there for marketing, which honestly hurts Next's narrative a fair bit.

To be fair, MetalGarurumon was already kind of out of left field for the line outside of still being a blue wolf that can shoot a blue substance out of its mouth.

As a kid, I always thought that Greymon and Garurumon swapped themes for their Mega forms just for kicks.

War and Were being very close helped with that thought, imo. I can tell because I had the same one.
