In the new game, you get special abilities if you have digimon of one of the three classes.
Data, Virus, and Vaccine. It's basically a weapon triangle, where Data defeats Vaccine defeats Virus defeats Data.
Lilymon is a Data, Angewomon is a Vaccine and LadyDevimon is a Virus.
This game also has digimon who do not fit into any of the classes, and to get the "increase encounter rate" or "force encounter" you need a non-classed digimon. I picked him:

because he's cool and good.

i always thought it was pretty lame that digimon transform back to their basic form

idk if thats still the case or not tho i havent seen anything digimon related since the first movie

It depends on the game. Some games are raising simulators, where you raise a digimon from its egg all the way up as far as it can go before it dies, and you try again. In this game, you can digivolve both ways whenever you hit your home base, and they have a max level they can reach, which increases when they digivolve or de-digivolve. Right now, most of my team can hit level 90. (Infermon 86, LadyDevimon 92, Lilymon and Angewomon 99).

sacred stones, because it is pretty easy since you can grind all of your units up to max level when you unlock the repeatable missions relatively early on

Yeah, the ones released in America on the GBA both serve as solid introductions to the series. "Fire Emblem" comes with a complete tutorial story, where the first 10 chapters exist to teach you the basics of the game.

No joke, the minute that you could get the paralogue units in Awakening my progress on the main game stopped to a halt both times I played.

Once you finish the two on the GBA, the Gamecube one and the Wii one are both fun games, though the Wii one has its issues.

Geneaology of the Holy War and Thracia 776 are usually the ones cited. 4 and 5.

Thracia is punishingly hard, though. You're a guerrilla resistance against an army, and it enjoys showing you the difference in power.

The NES games aren't really worth playing except Gaiden if you like weird old school jank, FE4 and FE5 are the good SNES ones

FE4 and FE5 are both fun but they're the kind of games you definitely need guides for. FE4 has kids and pairing but unlike Awakening the parents leave once the kids join, so if your pairings are bad you can wind up with a team of useless kids.

in FE5's case the game is just pretty unfair. Rather, it's not that rough once you know what each map is throwing at you, but unelss you feel like resetting three times to figure that out, it's best to just look up what the map's big threats are.

reading books is how i became an adult that knows the definition of a lot of words and how to spell them, but not how to actually pronounce them


so every couple months I'll have a fun little discovery, like when I found out the l in "solder" is silent

Fin's good with most everyone. And he's actually the one guy you get in both generations, so enjoy the maximum amount of fin. Since he's in the second gen, he gets lots of convos with his kids to give them various boosts and items and stuff.

I'd pair him with Lachesis, it's a pretty decent pairing and a lot of the people Lachesis wants to marry are in high demand.

here's a pairing guide, though.

that said, not pairing Fin is pretty decent, since it means he can keep his brave lance in the second gen and just go to town.

also, the love system is very different from later games', and has interactions that can result in NTR. personally I just read Serenes before every chapter because the game throws random events in there like sending your useless armor knight out to the middle of nowhere so he can get a stat ring.
