Chiming back in on the Dawn/Dusk conversation, my biggest issue is going from DS to DD was that there were no moves that didn;t cost MP or whatever they were calling it so you had to leave to replenish that a lot more then in DS. Thankfully they reverted back for Cyber Sleuth

I'm down with cutting some of the recolors but I absolutely want as many unique digimons as possible, it's fun seeing the new designs!

I disagree, the recolors definitely have their place, and indeed there's some I like better than the originals(for example I despise Nanimon, but his recolor BomberNanimon* is one of my favorite Adult stage Digimon)

*and his recolor as Citramon as well

I didn't care for Nanimon either until I found out it was a Tamagotchi transported to the Digital world.

Digimon Survive will probably be this with significantly more limited evolution lines and less emphasis on micromanaging your monster farm to evolve hilariously OP Ultimates.

This is such a good celebration of the franchise outside the anime! We got nothing interesting today from what I can find from the stream but at least this is a really nice short video.

Yeah, I noticed that. I wonder if that means we have a preview of how evolutions will look in Adventure:, it looked very Tri-like with the EVOLUTION ring.

I think the Appli Drive and the Duo were pretty great Digivices personally.

I think the only Digivices I dislike aesthetically are the original and the iC/Burst. The original is too plain and uninteresting and the lack of unique colours (pre-Perfect) is bad, while the iC/Burst are too boxy and ugly. I'm also not a big fan of the upgraded D-Scans, though mostly because they're uglier than the originals while also showing even more how Frontier really only had two important characters. All the rest are fine.

This new one...seems just as boring as the original, but I guess it's fitting for Adventure, Again.

I think I like the D-3 just a little more than the D-Power, but those are easily the best digivices in the franchise. Nothing else comes remotely close.

Disrespecting the Digivice Burst in my house? No way, son.

(you’re entitled to your opinion)

The new Digivice looks like a cross between am original Digivice and the D-Ark. I hope it does more things than make Digimon evolve.

I don't hate any of the others aside from maybe the D-Burst (Appli Drive gets a pass for looking exactly like a sentai henshin device), but the D-Power has a very pleasing shape

I love the Adventure Digivice, if only because it reminds me so much of the original MMPR Morpher and I love that shape.

I also don't give a poo poo for more toyetic designs, I like and have always liked designs that are a nice mix of functional and toyetic. The OG Digivice is not flashy at all, it just looks like a little piece of technology and I like that.

It held the Digimentals and I'm sure the toy also had some kind of use though no idea which.

It was a digidex and had an additional quest function. That’s how you earned the Digimentals that you used in the D-3.

I never had anything more than dial up internet, and the digidex on that one wsa always weirdly limited to what was 'canon' in the show

Then one day I brought the thing to school and it freaked out and suddenly had a BUNCH of different digivolutions- including Magna Angemon to Seraphimon


It never happened again after that. No clue what was the deal there

The first short story leading to Last Evolution, To Sora, is out and subbed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtnwIuJy5BY

It's really nice seeing the original artstyle back and the original songs really give it that nostalgic feeling, but the actual moral of the story seems kind of confused on what it actually wants to say. Then again, the whole thing couldn't help but be rushed with such a short time I guess.

This has absolutely nothing to do with that but I love these designs and wish they got canonized,

Having now watched the short I gotta say it feels more like an epilogue to the movie or at least the lead in to a very different kind of movie from what they're promising. It sort of feels like they animated a post-series Audio drama send-off, akin to the Digimon Frontier one from the BD releases.

No, it's very much before the movie. Spoilers for said movie are out and the events of the short (namely, Sora deciding not to fight anymore) are referenced to and affect the story.

If anyone wants said spoilers, here they are. They are, however, in Spanish. And rest assured...it looks terrible, because no Digimon anime sequel can ever be good. It answers absolutely nothing and blatantly leaves the door open for more Adventure poo poo in the future, even with the reboot.

Our War Games remixed with the ending of the first Digimon 'movie' and Maki from Tri, only not as good as any of them.

Sora being so committed to not fighting that she won’t even join in when her friends are being pummeled by her mind controlled other friends is one of the worst character decisions I think I’ve ever read.

Taking a cue from The Rise of Skywalker being a bad retread of a movie from 1983 that some people liked, Toei decided to make a bad retread of a movie from 2018 that no one liked.

Bold, imo.

The spoilers surely must be omitting tons of character moments, cause it sounds like none of the other adult digidestined even acknowledge that their Digimon will have to leave. Jo doesn’t sound like he’s in the movie past the intro?

If you're asking "surely they couldn't make a movie that focuses entirely on Taichi and Yamato to the exclusion of every other character could they?" I think you need to look deep inside yourself and find you already know the answer to that
