Just a small story I want to post.

Back when season 1 was airing on Fox Kids, my friend and I made our own Digimon partner, crest, etc like little kids love to do when they pretend (We were in ether 4th or 5th grade by that point). The interesting part is that we also decided to make up our own different ways of digivolving. She came up with fusing with her digimon (bio-merge) to be a different level. I decided it would be cool if I could digivolve as well (Spirit evolution). So I always get a laugh when watching Tamers or Frontier just by the fact we came up some of the methods before the show did.

Also, if there's a Mega form for MagnaAngemon, wouldn't he just trivialise everything and job out all the villains? As I recall MagnaAngemon just straight up chumps a Mega in the first series.

Behold, Seraphimon (I'm surprised I actually managed to spell that right looking it up):

I will give you that MagnaAngemon didn't completely win on his own like everyone wants to claim but...

Patamon's evolutions are exceptionally strong for what they are, don't get me wrong, but they are far, FAR from as OP as everyone says they are.

Except you know, Angemon punched a loving HOLE in Devimon. The villain that the other 6 Champions combined were losing against.

Is the pedometer on this thing decent?

That probably sounds like a joke question, but I am genuinely curious as to the whether the step counter is any good, or if it's another dumb digimon toy that you have to physically shake :v:

Digimon World DS isn't too bad but can be a little grindy and padded out. Unfortunately the sequels Dawn and Dusk ruin the battle system where as in DS you always had at least one move that didn't cost any energy to use, Dusk and Dawn had where every attack cost energy meaning you could get to a point where you could only stand around an do nothing as the enemy beat on you.

Really makes one wonder how much better D:TM would have been if they had used Movie 4 instead of Movie 3, heck I remember as a kid finding the Movie 3 portions lame cause they were only using Armor Evolutions when the show had already gotten to introducing the gen 2 Adult Stages(can't remember if they had gotten to Jogress Evolution yet), and Magnamon was old news by then(although Rapidmon Gold and seeing Seraphimon and MagnaDramon was pretty neat)

Come to think of it, if I knew how to edit videos I'd be tempted to create an edit of D:TM replacing the Hurricane Touchdown portion with the dub for Movie 4, maybe make a couple additional edits as well as needed

I fairly certain they were only at the second set of Armor evolutions since I remember it being awesome to see Raidramon early.

FAKE EDIT: Looking at the release dates. The movie Premiered October 6, 2000 and the episode Raidramon first appeared in aired October 7, 2000

I liked DS but I couldn't get into Dusk/Dawn since they change a minor thing and all moves required MP or whatever they called the action points. It was always good to have a move that you could use without using your MP for the trash mobs.

Or, if you're on the tokusatsu side of things, the new stuff from the movie turns up again for another episode around the time the DVD comes out.

which is what makes me worried for future Shout Factory Sentai DVD sets since they currently don't have the rights to the movies. You'll get things like the Shogun Engines in Go-onger or the Dino Song from Kyoryuger (which shows up actually pretty early, I think the movie was still in theaters when it was brought in to the show)

... like half the Armor Evolutions share details. That doesn't exactly strike me as evidence. I mean, Shadramon has basically the same armor as Fladramon, are we gonna claim he's a fusion of Stingmon and Fladramon?

I know this was hours ago but...

It makes sense the Shadramon has the same armor as Flamedramon because it's Wormmon using the Digi-egg of Courage instead of Veemon.

Where as Sagittarimon has nothing that even remotely looks like the Digi-egg of Hope.

So after having played Next Order for a few days a couple thing:

1) Play on easy. Unless you want the full grindy experience of the original. The only difference the the difficulty is that it affects the stat gains from training with easy giving you more.

2)Digimon don't die in battle. There is no life system in this one so battle with reckless abandon.

3)Get to chapter 2, get the digivolution dojo and upgrade it to level 2 as soon as possible. Since digimon don't die in battle, the stats never reset and just get better every generation. Those familiar with World games can see where this could be a problem. With the level 2 digivoultion dojo, it gives you the ability to block off your current digimon from digivolving into certain paths. This is also handy for completing the field guide if you want.

So as I am playing the translation patch for Digimon Adventure I am remembering why I stopped playing it. The difficulty curve in this game is awful. Once you reach episode 3 the bttles start to include other champion digimon like Monochromon and Kwagamon which is a real drain on your SP. the only two ways to recover are with items and save points. Items are very limited as there are no shops which means the only good way to grind is if you are near a save point that doesn't lock you in the area. Grinding itself is very difficult as XP gains are very small and levels require a lot of XP (ex: in EP 3 most of the non champions will give you about 50ish XP and to reach LV 6 requires upwards of around 1000 xp per digimon and the ones not in battle will only earn about a fifth of what the ones in battle at the end will earn.

I think it is suppose to encourage the use of Digipieces to raise stats but when I tried that it wasn't helping ether as when I put all the Atk ups on one digimon I was still only doing like 1/10 of the HP bar of champion level digimon.

there is inner device battling you can do that fulfills that requirement under the trophy icon. You can only start using it once you have a Rookie Digimon.

My First Digimon is a BlitzGreymon that is still going strong at 20 days even though my second Digimon, a SkullMamothmon, died a couple of days ago. I am wait until BG passes so that way I can start both eggs a lot closer synced

In Cyber Sleuth, is having a big rotating bank of digimon preferable or should I just focus on a few? I've been doing the former just because I like seeing what all the evos are and thanks to the farm glitch I can just let boys level up during work.

I'd say focus on a few, maybe ones you want to use but also make sure you try to keep an even spread of Virus Vaccine Data just so you can switch in teams to hit the RPS weakness.
