New DRB arrivals are actually kind of interesting! https://twitter.com/Wikimon_news/status/1391581022454788098 Atamadekachimon (with Minidekachimon) and Yo!Yo!mon* were the winner and second in the DigiWindow contest back in 2006 and had no appearances whatsoever until this week's Adventure: for Atamadekachimon and Minidekachimon. Kodokugumon has existed for years (since 1999, in fact!) as part of Dokugumon, even appearing in the original Adventure, though it should be noted that it did not look like this before. It got a major redesign, which is extremely unusual especially considering this artwork is relatively new and from a currently ongoing game:  *Yoxtu is stupid even for Bandai's usual romanization mess ups and I refuse to use it

It seems like this Kodokugumon is Rookie stage, too, so there's now a surprising amount of Rookie stage insects to use.

Wikimon went and split the difference so the old design is listed as KoDokugumon Baby, while the new one is listed as a Child stage

Blaze Dragon posted:Yoxtu is stupid even for Bandai's usual romanization mess ups and I refuse to use it Yeah some data entry person who isn't good at english or critical thinking typed in "ヨッ！ヨッ！モン" in katakana for the katakana name and then switched the IME to romaji did the exact same keystrokes for the english name (x in front is how you make a character small when it's not in a commonly-used situation in the japanese romaji-to-kana text input systems I've seen) New KoDokugumon is much better for use as a standalone thing but I think the older design is more suited for "the spiders Dokugumon shoots out as an attack." They also made Yo!Yo!mon an adult when the submitted art for it (the only previous source) had it as a perfect, but I like it as adult better so it can evolve into mamemons and stuff. I keep doing double-takes at how red the dekachimons are. And I'm not sure if I can imagine them separately.

If the design weren't perfectly (and beautifully) on-the-nose, I'd have absolutely no goddamn clue how Yoxtu!Yoxtu!mon would even be pronounced, much less what it's supposed to mean.

I don't really like the kodokugumon redesign. It's too busy for me - I think if they redid the mouth a little and got rid of the gloves on the skulls I'd like it better.

I assumed it was "Yoxtumon" not "Yoxtu!Yoxtu!Mon" With the joke being yoxtu = yo x tu = yo x 2 = yo yo I dont know why they would make this the joke, but it made more sense to me.

Unexpected DRB update! Knightly boys are in! https://twitter.com/Wikimon_news/status/1392300858805825539 Shoutmon X4K is a very unexpected arrival - until now it got no recognition whatsoever outside of Xros Wars, where it debuted, and even there it was treated as a minor form. Not even Super Xros Wars had it, so it was logical to think it'd die in XW itself. But no, proper DRB profile! Proper Bandai artwork! Perfect-level, Data-attribute, more attacks than just Burning Star Crusher! It is now an actual full-fledged Digimon and I could not be more proud of my knightly boy.   Personally I greatly appreciate this love for old, forgotten Digimon that the DRB is giving recently and hope it keeps it up. Still over a hundred Digimon that haven't gotten a profile!

I really love the line of Kotemon>Gradimon>Knightmon>Crusadermon. It’s a great way to have all four fit in a theme without each evolution looking like the previous one but bigger, like the Jesmon line or the Volcanicdramon line

I kinda prefer Craniamon or Dynasmon as his Mega just because Crusadermon is so radically different visually.

More new cards dropped, apologies for low quality pics, I’m working with what I’ve got. These aren’t all of them, they’re just the ones I think are interesting.  quote:Azulongmon  quote:Rebellimon  quote:Tropical Venom  quote:Eosmon There’s a Menoa Bellucci tamer card, the most interesting thing about it is that if you have an Eosmon in play it prevents your opponents tamers from untapping

Breaking it up into two posts, some minor commentary. Azulongmon is interesting. It really punishes going wide, and the best deck in the last format, Crusadermon, cheats out a lot of Digimon for free using Crusadermon’s effects (it’s not the only one either, just the best version of it). Source stripping still isn’t the best move, but with really synergistic piles like in Shoutmon/Omnimon BT5, it could do some damage (although I admit by the time that deck gets to Omnimon, it probably already won) Everybody’s favorite, Rebellimon, is kind of confirmed to be a potential part of the Ogremon line (sorry Digitamamon, you’re being replaced by a cool biker). The effect is really interesting, especially with BT6 SkullGreymon letting you play it as an evolution source if it’s discarded. Retaliation and Blocker are a powerful combo, Retaliation means that when your monster is destroyed in battle, it destroys the other monster as well. Ogremon letting you give up a card to destroy a low level Digimon seems like a pretty powerful tempo play, especially because it lets you fill up your trash. Having ten cards in your trash turns on a lot of purple Digimon, and there’s a number of revival effects in purple. I have no clue whether Tropical Venom will see play but I love what it represents. Memory is the single most important resource in the game, and green getting a combat focused free memory gain is super cool. Combine with the number of green Digimon with Piercing (which lets you check a security if you destroy an opponents monster in battle and survive) and you can get a free two memory for doing what you were going to do anyways. Eosmon looks to be an interesting deck, albeit not a good one. Put it on the level of D-Brigade and Diaboromon/Armageddemon of “cool but kind of bad” (these are my favorite types of deck). You can play any number of the level 5 Eosmon in your deck, and they give +1k power as a source, so your level 6 Eosmon could get freaking huge in the right conditions. The problem is the 5 cost evolution. Azulongmon can potentially refund its entire cost, Eosmon can’t, meaning that you’re giving your opponent a turn to finish you off while you sit there with your big butterfly. Still, if you can pull it off, it’ll be sweet

Rebellimon as the Perfect between Orgemon and Titamon honestly works really well.

It helps that Rebellimon was originally meant to be an Ogremon - its original name was MetalOgremon before they settled on Rebellimon. It works well as a Perfect level so Ogremon has a full line, although I kind of dislike that it goes from biological, to cyborg, back to fully biological. But then again, it's not like that that hasn't happened before. Such is Digimon.

Is that really any different from other lines? I mean, Birdramon becomes a giant monster bird to an anthropomorphic hawk person to a monster bird again. MetalGreymon is a cyborg preceding a mostly organic WarGreymon. Not every line has to be a straight, uniform thematic shot.

Improbable Lobster posted:It's nice when it does have a good thematic throughline It does. Green ogre people. I dunno. I like Jesmon a lot but you can’t deny it represents an opposite extreme where each form is just kinda the previous one only bigger. It’s better when you have a unifying theme but each form can stand on its own.

Meanwhile, in funny ("funny") Bandai news... Gladimon was added to the DRB as "Gradimon", then changed to "Gladimon" and back to "Gradimon" in less than 24 hours. It's back to "Gladimon" now. Please just stop messing this up, Bandai. For once.  But then again, when they can't even get the name of tne franchise right... https://twitter.com/WithTheWill/status/1393023177018667008
