Update 10: Lost Desert ...Man, I took these screenshots a week ago and just looking at the first one I'm pissed off already.  I'm bored just looking at them.  Click for music...? So, first off, we're in Byakko City! There's definitely nothing weird going on here. Step on the crack and break your Digi-mama's back.  Armory?: We're busy right now. Go away!  Nothing weird at all. Jack his poo poo and run.  Inn Front Desk?: But you can't stay here! Go away!  Save Officer?: If you want to save, please go elsewhere. wat. This is unacceptable. I demand he get punched in the face.  Digimon Officer?: Sorry, we can't do that right now.  So, um, Byakko City... It's basically an entire city full of Givers. Rude, useless assholes that do nothing but make life difficult for everyone else. And yet somehow likable. Case in point: my presence in this LP.   Going clockwise, starting with this guy... Byakko Citizen #1: I'm going to bet 100 BIT on you! Byakko Civilian 08: There's more players in this city! But it's only your imagination that you can't see them! Byakko Citizen #2: Oh, he's just a kid! That's no challenge! Byakko Citizen #3: Heh heh heh, looks like another strong one is here again! These guys are a little more genial than those jerks manning the stalls outside, but they're sitll not entirely making me feel at ease. Seriously, what's up with Byakko Civilian 08? What is he even trying to say? Something, something, we're all invisible because legend.  Byakko Citizen?: Oh, you must be the new challenger! Please come inside! Byakko Leader is waiting for you! Then he gets out of our way. Hey, so long as we get to fight the Leader without dealing with all kinds of lovely fetch quests, I'm not complaining (too much.)  Byakko Civillian?[sic]: Hurry and go fight with our leader! drat it, game, you'd done so well for a while, did you have to gently caress up his name? After getting the early one right? ...Are their names seriously written out by hand?  Well, whatever. Leader's here, he's got a unique sprite, everything checks out. Byakko Leader: Welcome, challenger. Let's battle. Kite: Ah, wait a sec... First, I've got a question. Byakko Leader: First, we fight! If you win, I'll tell you all I know. Kite: OK, there's no way I'm going to lose! Kite starts to think something might be up, but then he's distracted by impending violence.  Click for music...? As am I, to be fair. Hey, wait. Why isn't the Leader Battle music playing? And why does the Leader only have two Digimon? RUSED! WE'VE BEEN RUSED!  ...And why are they both sewage slugs? Worst disguise ever.  Eh, we won, whatever. Kite: OK, then... So what about this guy called Lucky Mouse... Byakko Leader: Hold on a minute. The Byakko Badge is in that room. I'll listen to you after you get it. Kite: OK, I'll be right back, so wait here! Kite, having no concept of pattern recognition, just happily walks past into the Storage Room.  Y'know, I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting, but this probably wasn't it. Kite: Huh? That's weird. There isn't any badge here.  Click for music! Then the floor falls away. Somehow, this hovering platform is, well, hovering in midair. Kite: What the?  Don't just stand there, you idiot, the FLOOR IS loving FALLING Well, and do what? Can we use our Digimon to ride on or something? I guess we just log out?    And then Kite was Wile E. Coyote all along. Kite: Whaaah! If I were a bigger rear end in a top hat, I'd end the update here. You should have.  Unfortunately, Kite didn't die. Regretfully, we don't get to kill off our player character and just play directly as the Digimon. Yes, and then we'd be ripping off Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Kite: Uh... uuh... Where am I? Oh yeah, I fell into the basement.  Click for ambience! So, we're in the Underground Cave. There is, uh, literally nothing to do here.  Byakko Citizen?: What?! No one's there? Don't lie to me! No one can escape from this underground cave! Byakko Citizen? (to the left): Sorry, you can't pass through. We've captured you! Ha ha ha ha ha! Wow, these guys are pretty much  personified. Anyway, let's go escape from this inescapable cave.Not enough channeling the forces of darkness.  Log out! Just log out! If this is a place where a player is held against their will, you might just return to town!  Yeti why  (The Underground Cave is small, one room, and has no encounters. The music isn't even very good.)  ???: I'm no rock! Kite: Woah, wha... What?!  It's our old buddy, Numemon! ...Couldn't he have said 'Everyone in Byakko City is a jerk and will dump you into a pit, don't go in there'? I think it would have conveyed the information a bit better than 'Byakko City is dangerous'. Forshadowing must be vague.  Kite: Hey, you're that Numemon!? Numemon: That's right. I'll help you, so come on!  Click for ambience Numemon: We should be fine here. Kite: Hey, thanks! But what is with the people of Byakko City? Their Leader lied and dropped me into the basement. Numemon: The Leader and everyone else are all fakes! Kite: What!? Then who were those guys? Whaaat?  I didn't see this coming a mile away, no sir! What a twist!Numemon: That doesn't concern you! If you want to meet the real Leader, then go to the Mobius Desert. He's in the Mirage Tower beyond the desert. Kite: He-hey hold on! What's going on? Numemon: I can't tell you anything more! Don't go near Byakko City anymore! Kite: ...oh, all right. See ya!  Kite's remarkably accepting of all this. Nah, you know what? We should go back to the Leader, get in his face and be like 'gently caress you'. Then toss him down the trap.  Anyway, the Numemon led us out onto this cliff in Bullet Valley. It's not a - hey, wait a minute! How the hell did he get up there in the first place? He climbed the wall.  RUBIES! FARM IT  I shall never make another hole joke as they are smellier than mold.  Up here is a rather mechanical-looking area, and since it's not past any place called Mobius Desert, we're not looking for it right now. Explore, mister.   Beyond that, there's nothing really all that special to Bullet Valley. The only other exit is right to our south, leading back to the North Badlands W. So, where should we start searching for Mobius Desert?  If you guessed 'Nowhere, because we have to head back to Asuka City', congrats. Jesus, this conveyance is so bad.   As an aside, now that we've reached West Sector, Tuskmon start spawning in the upper area of Plug Cape. They're just as threatening in Center Sector as they are in West (which means that Counter Crest is a godsend).   : This Renamon exclusive weapon will start at 1600 BIT! These auctions are starting to get a little bit pricey, though I still have the BIT to spend on it without blinking an eye. Really, the only thing that should be costing any money is equipment upgrades and auctions. Inns are only now starting to break 100 BIT total for a stay, and healing items are pointless with two of my Digimon knowing how to heal.  Click for ambience! (Just a note, this track plays constantly until the next music link, barring random encounter music.) Now that our little detour is out of the way, we can get to work actually making progress. I feel like we should be much further in this game than we currently are.  This here is S. Noise Desert. And it has more encounters!  The ingame model:  Name: Kokatorimon 2* (Brown Colored) Level: Champion Location: Asuka West - South Noise Desert, Mobius Desert, Mirage Tower Kicking Trees: Asuka West - N Badland West, Bullet Valley Drops: Over Clocked 3 STR, 3 DEF, 2 SPR, 3 WIS, 5 SPD, 2 FIRE, 2 WATER, 1 ICE, 3 WIND, 1 THUNDER, 2 MACHINE, 2 DARK EXP: 158, BIT: 300 Regular Attack: No Element Technique: None  Name: Vademon Level: Ultimate Location: Asuka West - S Noise Desert, Mobius Desert, Mirage Tower Drops: Bolt Power 1 3 STR, 3 DEF, 2 SPR, 3 WIS, 4 SPD, 2 FIRE, 2 WATER, 2 ICE, 2 WIND, 2 THUNDER, 2 MACHINE, 2 DARK EXP: 109, BIT: 220 Regular Attack: Thunder Element (Chance of Sleep) Technique: None You'll also find the gold Airdramon here, too, though Kokatorimon is by and far the most common enemy. Over Clocked boosts the rate at which the Blast Gauge fills, though it's not by much and the typical player will never use it. Vademon's chance of putting your Digimon to sleep seems rather high, though, which can lead to annoying situations where everyone is asleep and the only thing I can do is switch Digimon over and over again until I get two turns in a row and one of the idiots wakes up. Instead of linking a picture, I'll just direct you to a classic Prometheus and Bob skit that Vademon reminded me of. Amazing.  Anyway, let's move on past the trials and tribulations that I don't show in these updates. Agumon: There's a tall tower beyond the Mobius Desert! But I've never been there, so I don't know much! Alright, cool. No new information, but cool. Uselesssss.  There's also a Guilmon down the hill. Guilmon: You get lost in all the nothingness. Well, Mobius Desert is to our south, the only other exit that's not coming right back the way you came, so let's get going! These are wild Charmanders and Charmeleons. Why aren't you catching them?  Interesting scenery.  Mobius Desert is terrible. And not for the reason that Noise Desert is terrible (i.e. large, open spaces with maybe two or three landmarks for screenshots.) No, it's much, much worse than that. But first:   Name: Maildramon Level: Armor (Approximately equivalent to a Champion) Location: Asuka West - Mobius Desert Drops: Thunder Chip 3 STR, 4 DEF, 5 SPR, 3 WIS, 2 SPD, 3 FIRE, 1 WATER, 3 ICE, 2 WIND, 1 THUNDER, 3 MACHINE, 2 DARK EXP: 110, BIT: 225 Regular Attack: No Element Technique: Thunderbolt (Magic-Thunder) Nothing special here. Weak to Water and Thunder, like a lot of things in the West Sector. The Thunder Chip is nice (it ups your Thunder resistance for free) but not really worth grinding specifically for. There's better ways.  At the south edge of this screen, there's this guy. He'll only appear if your combined Rookie levels are between 60 and 90 (which is the main reason I grinded to level 20 against the Divermon). DRI Ken: Hey, I'm DRI Ken. I'm a black belt... I'm an athletic researcher! DRI Ken: I love Kotemon! I'm envious you got him as a partner! He would have given us the quest to go fight Kyukimon, had we picked a different pack to start with. Alright, so the real reason I hate Mobius Desert? Look at the title of the update. ...Get it yet? That's right! It's a Lost Woods maze! Every map looks the same, alternating between the 'two cacti and three stone pillars' and 'a bunch of antennas'. It's a stupid-looking grid pattern, and I hate it. There are always four exits to each screen, one on the north, south, west, and east.   If we go south once and west once from the start, we end up here. DRI Yuji: Yo! I'm DRI's Yuji, nice to meet you! DRI Yuji: Hey, isn't GrapLeomon great?! I want to get Kumamon DDNA from GrapLeomon. Then I'll know the secret of digivolving Kumamon into GrapLeomon. It's not much of a secret, pal, just get the bear to level 20.  If we go south three times and then west three times from the start, we encounter this guy.  But you're digital. DRI Yang: ...hey, I'm Yang... DRI staff. DRI Yang: Hmmm now I can't go look for Armormon... Hey, can you get Monmon DDNA from him, for me? Come on! I'll add Monmon as your partner. I included the picture just because I wanted to show the really poor spacing on their ellipses, there. Also, the missing comma in the second set of lines. And yet no commentary about the terrible name 'Monmon'  Finally, if we go south twice and then west three times, we end up at Mirage Tower. All in all: Start: Kotemon's DRI Agent South x1, West x1: Kumamon's DRI Agent South x3, West x3: Monmon's DRI Agent South x2, West x3: Mirage Tower From anywhere, North x3: S. Noise Desert. They're at least nice enough to give us a quick way to reset the area, if and when we get lost. I'll admit, I spent at least an hour here... There's just nothing else in the area, so after a while, I just give up and reset it. I'm not even sure how big the actual map is, since everything is the same. I could be looping and not realizing it. What if I go East, or West first. Or West, then North, then South, then Eastx2, then North. WHAT THEN. Well, Mirage Tower has to be entered from the West, but the rest of them should be able to be reached so long as you take the correct number of squares. I've confirmed the DRI Agents are largely order-independent, so long as you don't accidentally enter Mirage Tower when heading for Monmon's Agent.   But we're here now, so gently caress it, I don't even care anymore.  Thankfully, the ambience stops playing. Unfortunately, it's back to the Byakko City? theme. So hey, we made it to Mirage Hall!  Class Pres Aiko: ...and we came here, but... Who are the people that attacked Byakko City? So these are the actual Byakko City villagers! Numemon led them here. Seriously, why didn't he just tell us that Byakko City had relocated? Geez. Yeah, this makes his earlier line way stupider. So loving bad.  Tamer Nakano: I collect card data and analyze it. Right now, he'll only want to Card Battle us, but my deck hasn't been changed since I stole that Gabumon card from the kid, so he says it's too weak. Oh no, what a shame. Do the card games, mister. Down the ladder is the Inn, and I take the chance to heal up.   There's also an Armory off to the right, where I take the chance to upgrade Patamon's equipment again. Seriously, I wish the little bastard just got a two-handed weapon, but meh.  So, that person said that the Leader was in the back, right?  Click for music! This track is pretty good. The imagery is also fantastic. What the gently caress!? How did this area properly follow from the last? Oh, wait, Mirage Tower. drat son.  Digital linez.   And here's the man of the hour! Primed and ready for a beating.  Oh, uh, whoops, we don't know who he is yet. ???: I'm sorry, but leave me alone... Kite: Byakko Leader, I have something to ask... ???: [EXCLAMATION MARK!]  Already? Motherfucker, let me tell you about fighting thirty loving Maildramon. Just loving fite me already Byakko Leader: Fine, then I'll just have to fight you! Kite: What!? Hey, wait a sec! What's the...!? Byakko Leader: Silence! I'm not going to lose to the A.o.A! A.o.A, loving what? Why would you suspect this kid to be in cahoots...?  Gasp! Who would have expected them to rear their ugly head?! Kite: Wha-what? ...A.o.A?! Byakko Leader: Don't play games with me! Come here, my Digimon! Kite: I can't believe this! Oh, well... All right, let's get this over with already! Kite's reaction to being called a terrorist: 'gently caress it, let's beat up his Digimon.' I approve.  Click for music! So gently caress yeah, let's fight! First match of the day: Kyukimon vs. a Shiny Flymon. Now, ideally, I'd like to have Rosemon go against the Flymon, since Flymon is weak to Wind-based attacks, but... Rosemon doesn't actually have any Wind Techs. I mean, I have Angemon's dinky little Air Blast loaded, but that thing does like maybe 100 damage hitting the weakness, so brute force is the way to go.  Second match after Kyukimon beats up the Flymon: Taomon vs. Tortomon. See, the thing is, Tortomon has two weakness - low Wisdom, and a crippling lack of Ice resistance. So, since Taomon earned Snowstorm (the third-rank Ice Tech) at level 45, Tortomon didn't last long.  Aaaand, the title match: Mamemon vs. Rosemon!   Name: Mamemon Level: Ultimate 3 STR, 5 DEF, 3 SPR, 3 WIS, 3 SPD, 2 FIRE, 1 WATER, 3 ICE, 2 WIND, 1 THUNDER, 3 MACHINE, 2 DARK Regular Attack: Machine Element (Chance of Freeze) Technique: None Guess what element Grand Wave is? (It one-shots Mamemon for like 1100 damage).  Well, now that we've beaten up his three dudes, Byakko Leader seems to be a little more understanding. That never makes any sense. Byakko Leader: I'm sorry for mistaking you for the A.o.A. Kite: Ah, that's OK... But wait, does that mean the people in Byakko City are...? Byakko Leader: Yes. They're the A.o.A! They just came and took over Byakko City! We were held in the basement prison... But Numemon came and rescued us. Y'know, I'm curious. Is Byakko Leader a human or an AI? Because, I mean, his only job is to fight us, but an AI wouldn't be able to just pack up its stuff and move. Racist. Kite: I see... But the A.o.A and Lucky Mouse... And what's happening to Digimon Online? Byakko Leader: I don't know either.  Byakko Leader: If you want to know more, then find that Numemon. If you go to the Dum Dum Factory you'll find him. Kite: OK! ...The Dum Dum Factory. What, are you dum-founded?  Prizes! Byakko Leader: After all, you did beat me! And it might come in handy later on! Kite: Yeah! I got the Byakko Badge! Byakko Leader: There'll be more A.o.A. Be careful! Y'know, I really hate the stupid maze, but I didn't have to do any stupid back-and-forth trekking across all of the Sectors unlocked so far, so I think Byakko Leader is my favorite so far. At least we're three-fourths done with the main plot of Digimon Online. Good things can only happen once we've beaten the Leader of North Sector... But first, we have to figure out what the gently caress is going on with the A.o.A and Numemon. To Dum Dum Factory! Wait, three-fourths?

Byakko Leader is definitely one of the toughest fights in the game thanks to that goddamn Mamemon and his status effects, and you just stomped him. You're absolutely going to crush the last fourth of the game now. Also if I remember correctly mirage desert is only 4x4 big. Still a slog though. Only redeeming factor to all of west sector is the Badlands music, which is by far the best in the game.

This was actually the second take of the fight - the first take, the game decided to freeze all of my Digimon and Rosemon got wrecked and then ugh. So, I decided to redo the fight, and, well, I got a crit.

Still got another leader to go and a fuckload of plot to deal with. And then Yeti has to boot up the PAL version and show off post-game THERE. Hacking will likely be involved because gently caress replaying the game a second time for that footage.

Catching up on the LP and just got through update 9. I just want to note that the egg shrine is the worst thing. Little kid me had no idea you had to go behind it and got stuck in that part of the game for days. Thinking that I needed to beat the boss in that optional area Yeti didn't go into for lack of other options, I ended up grinding on the random encounters in there for hours on end. My Agumon actually got Metal Greymon's signature move by the time I was done. I only ended up continuing past there by complete chance when I went back to the shrine and discovered what you needed to do completely on accident.

Update 11: Frivolity Last time, we went and defeated the Byakko Leader. Then, he dumped us in a pit because he was a huge jerk and a terrorist, and we escaped thanks to some sewage slug. Then, we wandered through a desert and then defeated the real Byakko Leader. After defeating him, he told us where we can find answers: the Dum Dum Factory in Bullet Valley.  So naturally, we're going to be heading everywhere but there first.  Now, you might be confused about a few things. Why I'm not heading for Dum Dum Factory when we know exactly where it is, or why I only have Patamon in my Digimon squad right now. The answer is because you're a Dum Dum  loving tree maze Well, the answer to the first one is simple - when we enter and complete the plot stuff in Dum Dum Factory, we'll be locked into a series of plot-related events that kinda screw up my plans for the foreseeable future. For that reason, I'm handling all the stuff we'll be covering in this update before doing that in order to get it out of the way now. So, in other words, this update is a massive tease for the audience members that desperately want to see the plot progress.  As for the answer to the second question, this DRI agent will only show up after 1) We've gotten the Byakko Badge, 2) We only have one Digimon in our party, and 3) That Digimon is under level 30.  HI BOB DRI Bob: Hey, have you seen Paildramon? I've been looking for him forever, but I can't find him. If you find him, I'll give you something great... Yes, there is in fact an eighth Digimon partner, and this is his DRI agent. That means we have three open DRI quests right now, and we'll be getting those this update.  First, though, exploration! (We have all our partners back now; the only time we need to remove all but one is to get the quest to begin with.) Wait, why?  Now that we've got Submarimon, we can finally go around exploring all these places that we saw back when we first entered the area. NO! NOT THE SEABED!! ANYTHING BUT THAT!  Click for music. Welcome to ninety percent of this update, unfortunately enough. This particular Seabed map is Seabed 01, and it comes with a new encounter.   Name: Gesomon Level: Champion Location: Seabeds 01, 02, 04 Drops: Runner Sandal 3 STR, 4 DEF, 3 SPR, 2 WIS, 4 SPD, 3 FIRE, 3 WATER, 2 ICE, 2 WIND, 1 THUNDER, 2 MACHINE, 2 DARK EXP: 136, BIT: 240 Regular Attack: Water Element Technique: None Yeah, nothing special. Just like every fish monster, Gesomon is weak to Thunder. The Runner Sandal makes it easier to run away from battles, which means I'm not going to bother grinding for it. The only other encounter in Seabed 01 is Dolphmon, and we've already gone over him.  Anyway, Seabed maps usually come in one of two patterns; end to end, and end to end with a stop in the center. This map is an example of the latter, with exits both to the north and south of this screen.  And you know that stops in the center mean having to ascend just enough so that you can go forward over it. Keep in mind that going forward is also descending so that means you need a lot of height everytime this game puts an object in the way. Ho. Ly. poo poo.  The north exit is the first one we'll go to.  It lets out in Kicking Forest, offering a quick way to head from Central Park to Seiryu City without having to go through all of Wire Forest. Plus, the fights in Seabed are actually worth experience and BITs (and more importantly, DV EXP), so there you go.  Every map should just be a point-to-point exit with no barriers. Sounds lame, but the alternative is much worse.  The south exit to Seabed 01 is also a nice shortcut (although the tank controls make it a pain and a half to get through).  Mainly because it lets out in Bulk Bridge - see the bridge? That's how you know.  There's also this weird place with nothing in it, down south past the exit to Bulk Bridge. I don't know what it's gonna be used for, but I get the feeling it's going to be important sooner or later. Or maybe never, and I'm full of poo poo. Who knows. Naaah, I don't think this game thinks through what dead-ends say to a player, anyway.  Anyway, that's the Dive spot in Central Park taken care of, so now we can go check out the Shell Beach spot.  What is that statue in the corner? TELL ME  This isn't an LP. It's a tourist's guide to Digimon World 3.  It's another of the three-exit maps, though this time we're starting on the northern exit.  The middle spot leads to Phoenix Bay - a nice shortcut from Asuka City to Suzaku City. Y'know, if we ever have a reason to go back there.  Tell me, is there a plane section, too? And is it just as boring?   The final exit, the southern-most one, leads to Ether Jungle. Now, you might be wondering, 'But we never saw a dive spot in Ether Jungle when you explored it the first time! Did you skip something?' Jerks. I'm not that incompetent. Liar.  This is the first example of an area where part of it can only be accessed from a different method entirely. You might have also noticed the ledge in Wind Prairie, on the cliff to the east of Seiryu City, or the chest in Pelche Oasis that we can't get to yet - those are more examples of the same. But enough about that, we have an Ultimate fight.  Kite: Hey GrapLeomon, I have a favor to ask. Can I get Kumamon DDNA from within your DDNA? GrapLeomon: Ha ha ha ha! You're a funny kid! If you can defeat me, You[sic] can have it! Capitals letters are hard, okay? They Sure Are, Yeti. English Is Difficult.  Click for music! GrapLeomon is a fun fight, especially since he's probably the first person we've fought with multi-hit attacks.   Name: GrapLeomon (Boss) Level: Ultimate Location: (After Accepting Kumamon DDRI Quest) Asuka South - Ether Jungle (Seabed Entrance) Drops: Kumamon DDNA (After Defeat) 5 STR, 5 DEF, 1 SPR, 1 WIS, 4 SPD, 2 FIRE, 2 WATER, 2 ICE, 2 WIND, 2 THUNDER, 2 MACHINE, 2 DARK EXP: 280, BIT: 560 Regular Attack: No Element Technique: Cyclone Turbine (Physical, Hits Three Times) Cyclone Turbine can actually be dangerous, thanks to his 5 in STR, but if you survive the blows Counter Crest makes it basically trivial. Without the Counter Crest, you'd need a lot of speed to be able to keep up the healing while also doing damage.  His regular attack is just him jumping over and punching you for about 350, 400 damage.   Cyclone Turbine, GrapLeomon's signature tech, is fairly dangerous, hitting three times for about 350, 400 each. That 5 in STR isn't just for show, you know. To deal with him, honestly, use magic - his 1 WIS means that Magic Techs will hit even harder than usual, and fortunately Taomon can eat the Cyclone Turbine and have some health left over.  GrapLeomon: All right, I must keep my promise. That is my code of honor. Kite: Yeah! I got the Kumamon DDNA! Thanks, GrapLeomon! Amusingly enough, leaving the screen and coming back means that GrapLeomon despawns. However, going into your menu counts as leaving the screen (for some weird reason). So, if you're healing up or something, you come back to see that GrapLeomon disappeared from right in front of you. Also hey, does this count as the Leomon death for this game? He Shoryuken'd outta there.  The final available Seabed entrance is down in Divermon's Lake.  Everything looks the same.   It's a Point A to Point B type map, but the difference here is that the only encounter is Divermon. Right now they aren't threats, since I can go toe to toe with my Counter Crest, but back when we got the Digi-Egg of  Click for music! Welcome to Duel Island!  Retard-chu strikes again.  As the name suggests, this place is basically a tropical island. Man, why couldn't South Sector have looked like this? It would have been so much better than the lovely poop swamp we got.  Divermon: A paradise for duelists where stronger card duelists gather! Unfortunately for us, this place is all about the Card Battling, and I'm having none of that so long as I can avoid it. Procrastinator! Thread, I demand you protest the lack of card battles!  So, regrettably, this'll probably be the only time we drop by, unless there happens to be plot-related stuff in this place.   A shame, too, since I really, really like the color palette they chose.  Kite: ...Hey Armormon, can I ask you a favor? Can I get Monmon DDNA from your DDNA? Armormon: ...I refuse! It is too important to give away. If you really want it, you must take it from me.  Armormon looks pretty neat, not gonna lie. A few goons in the thread voted for Monmon as one of our starting partners solely for the appearance of his Digivolution line.  (Sorry, no official Bandai art for this guy. Not sure why, but it probably has something to do with the fact that he's only appeared in Digimon World 3.)  that's both ridiculous and cool. The term 'Digimon' gets stretched more and more I see. Name: Armormon (Boss) Level: Ultimate Location: (After Accepting Monmon DDRI Quest) Asuka East - Asuka Duel Island Drops: Monmon DDNA (After Defeat) 4 STR, 3 DEF, 2 SPR, 2 WIS, 4 SPD, 2 FIRE, 2 WATER, 2 ICE, 2 WIND, 1 THUNDER, 3 MACHINE, 2 DARK EXP: 280, BIT: 560 Regular Attack: No Element Technique: Justice Strike (Physical, Hits Four Times) He's weak to Thunder elements, and Magic Techs. His Justice Strike hits four times, which can be dangerous, but he's pretty much a glass cannon.  His regular attack is him swinging his gun barrel arms at us and then hitting us with a shockwave. No big deal.  However, Justice Strike is very much something you want to prepare for. In the video, I used Double Guard specifically because of this move; assuming full power and all four hits connect, it's enough to pretty much one-shot Taomon and Rosemon. Kyukimon would probably take about half of his HP in damage, but that's because Kyukimon is ridiculously broken for some reason.  But eventually, Armormon gets owned. Armormon: ...How could I lose... But you did win. Here take this.[sic] Kite: Yeah! I got the Monmon DDNA!  The rest of the island to the west is blocked off by these guys who want to play cards with me, so screw them. (I'll eventually get around to beating them, don't worry. I figure brute forcing it with high-level cards from Cardmon drops will do it, because hosed if I'm putting any modicum of thought into building the deck.) "Zero thought. Straight power." And you wonder why I make fun of your skills.  The last spot to visit on Duel Island is this little standalone bit over here.   What a stupid sentence. Etemon: I can't lose to Divermon in Card Battle! There seems to be a rivalry between the Etemon and the Divermon.  Etemon: Now I'm going to beat those fish! ...Eh, not my problem. We're leaving.  ~Magical screenshot teleport to Bulk Bridge go!~ HAX! HAXXXXXXXXXXXXX!! Paildramon, the guy that DRI Bob was looking for, is right here; this is that empty area in the west after the eponymous bridge.  Kite: Hey Paildramon, I have a favor to ask. Can I get Veemon DDNA from your DDNA? Paildramon: No way! They stab you with a needle for that! Unless I lose in a battle, you can forget it! ..."They stab you with a needle for that!" That's actual game dialogue? Oh yeah, 100% the game right there. I had nothing to do with it. Kite: Oh, all right. I only have to win, right? Paildramon: Yeah, right! Try it if you can! Well, he certainly talks tough. Let's see if he can back it up.  Spoiler alert: he can't.  Name: Paildramon (Boss) Level: Ultimate Location: (After Accepting Veemon DDRI Quest) Asuka South - Bulk Bridge Drops: Veemon DDNA 3 STR, 2 DEF, 3 SPR, 4 WIS, 3 SPD, 1 FIRE, 2 WATER, 3 ICE, 2 WIND, 3 THUNDER, 2 MACHINE, 1 DARK EXP: 200, BIT: 380 Regular Attack: No Element Technique: Desperado Blaster (Physical, Hits Four Times) This guy... He's not tough in the slightest. He's got basically no health (under 1400), no physical defense, and no Fire resistance. Kyukimon is a physical attacker with a Fire Tech. Do the math. One physical attacker + One Fire Tech - Enemy's Low Defense = One Dead Digimon Do I pass maths?  His physical attack is nowhere near as neat as Stingmon, sinc all he does is fly over and kinda ram Taomon.  His Desperado Blaster is equally pathetic, since it's supposed to hit four times for relatively weak damage, but 'weak' in this case means double digits, and Kyukimon blocked all the shots anyway.  Dude... That was pathetic. Kite: OK, hand it over! Paildramon: Oh, all right. Here, take it. Ouch! Kite: Yeah! I got the Veemon DDNA! Thanks, Paildramon! Paildramon: Yeah, yeah, I'm never doing this again. Later! Wonderful, that's all three of the DDNAs we were missing.  Now, to deliver the quests and receive our rewards. DRI Bob: So you found Paildramon! Thanks! I'll add Veemon as your partner! Go see Piximon or Dr. Kadomatsu at the lab. Veemon should be in the list under Switch Digimon!  Rssm frssm tree maze. You should have the way memorized by now.  Remember, this guy is South 1, West 1 from the start. DRI Yuji: What?! You got Kumamon DDNA from GrapLeomon? Wow, it's real! Thanks! I'll do anything you want... Hey! I know! I'll add Kumamon as your partner! Go see Piximon or Dr. Kadomatsu at the lab. Kumamon should be in the list under Switch Digimon!  And then this dweeb, who's South 3 and West 3 from the start. DRI Yang: OK, I'll add Monmon as your partner like I promised. Go see Piximon or Dr. Kadomatsu at the lab. Monmon should be in the list under Switch Digimon! Good, that's taken care of, now. Other errata before we finish things up here:  That little nook is where we'd find Taomon, should we not have Renamon already. MagnaAngemon is in South Badlands, but we don't care about him. As for Kyukimon, we don't have access to him yet. (Or, rather, we do, but I'm not going there because I don't want to go to a place I'll be going for plot reasons later.)  Anyway, that's everything that's available to us through the Seabed areas. Next time, we'll finally head out to Dum Dum Factory and figure out what's up with those A.o.A jerks.

So hey! Guess what! We have all the Digimon Partners now! So it's time to vote on our partners! It's not going to be the entire rest of the game, but I feel like changing things up for now. Here's the rules: You have three groups to vote on. 1) Dragon Digimon - Agumon, Veemon, Guilmon 2) Magic Attackers - Patamon, Renamon 3) Physical Attackers - Kotemon, Kumamon, Monmon Choose one from each group. Please bold your vote or quote someone else's bolded vote so that I can quickly tell who's voting for what. If you don't want to vote for a given group, that's fine, but you don't get an extra vote to make up for it. Votes for my choice are also accepted, but I won't be accepting any weird ones. Deadline for voting is this Friday, at noon! The Digimon from each category with the most votes will be my party for the next while, until I feel like switching again.

Monmon, Renamon, and Veemon, because Monmon has the name Monmon, Renamon is the one putting in the most work, and gently caress if I'm letting you get the secret Partner Digimon and not use him.

Tunicate posted:Why is he called grape leomon? Is he grape-flavored? Grapple. He's Leomon with Street Fighter data in him, and he chose the best possible fighting style. Digimon Reference Book posted:A Grappling-species Beast Man Digimon that took in the data of various fighting games, using their original secrets to crush the opponent. Although it rapidly spins the turbines on both of its arms and feet to unleash ever-changing techniques, the turbines rotate by being blown into all at once by the fighting spirit emitted by its Digicore, and can't run on mediocre emotional strength. Grappu Leomon inherited the data of the "King of Beasts", Leomon, and so that strong will to justice rapidly spins the turbines to their extremes. Also V-mon, Renamon, Kumamon. V-mon won't be shown otherwise, Bearmon is one of my favourite Digimon ever (and the guy I chose as my lead when I played this the first time) and Renamon is better than Patamon.

Veemon, Renamon, Kotemon, stop using Counter Crest Summing up every battle as "could be tricky if not for BROKEN" isn't the most interesting thing to read, and some of the boss fights later do have gimmicks and tricks to show off.

MarquiseMindfang posted:Veemon, Renamon, Kotemon. This, because Veemon is probably the best option to show off as many evolutions as possible and you can build him any way you want, Renamon because screw Patamon, and we're not dropping Kotemon until we see that Mega (Also since you're playing 3 and not 2003, is there really any point to this team configuration, since you can't access the post game anyway?)

Waterfall of Salt posted:(Also since you're playing 3 and not 2003, is there really any point to this team configuration, since you can't access the post game anyway?) I think at some point Yeti said something about doing post game on a different (most likely hacked) file to show it off when it gets to that point
