Tamers was pretty fair about it, Guilmon's final power up with the dead spaceship didn't seem that much stronger than most megas, and the main three kids got the mega form, some rival dude that didn't show up often got it and the broody edgy 'mon got it as well, just people that didn't get digimon 'till halfway through the series missed out on Mega.

Except the kid that got a fully evoloved MarineAngemon straight up.

Maybe because MagnaAngemon appeared so rarely?

Really, there was a lot of weird stuff going on with Gatomon. She was able to armor digivolve despite being a champion because her tail ring was gone which is really weird. She also went back to being Salamon while pretty much all the newbie Digimon went back to being babies after DNA digivolving. I always figured the writers forgot she was supposed to be a champion at times.

Hell, the old PSX card game had two different Gatomon. One Rookie (as a Partner), one Champion.

Digimon just has a really weird love-hate relationship with Angemon, where he either is a total badass or cannon fodder that'd make Krillin proud. No middle point.

And Leomon. Never forget Leomon.

Yeah. Didn't they have the whole Data -> Virus -> Vaccine triangle? Pretty much all the partner digimon are Data types which are naturally weak to Virus types (the entire Devimon evo line, Piedmon, Puppetmon, etc.) and Angemon/Gatomon were the only Vaccine types in the team. So, yeah, it was a mix of Angemon being strong for a Champion and getting a natural edge against 90% of the big bads due to typing.

I mean, they also treated Andromon like a loving powerhouse. He was a Champion holding off Megas in the second half of Adventure.

Andromon was a Perfect/Ultimate, and they said it was one of the strongest Digimon of it's class.

To be fair, I'm not sure the notion of him being a level higher as solidly in stone at the time - the same way Whamon has shifted about a bit.


The old keychains had Perfect/Ultimate as the final stage, so there was that at least.

Gotta say, Agumon looks even more top heavy than before.

Beyond that though, has anyone translated the text yet?

But the real question is: will he evolve into big gut Greymon or the cruddy blue one from Xros Wars?

They're still making Digimon games in Year Of Our Lord 2015? The last one I knew of was Digimon World 4. How many have I missed and were any of them worth looking at?

Digimon World DS, it's sequels Digimon World: Dusk and Dawn, another one that was kinda lovely (World Tournament I think). Those are the ones that came out in the U.S. There's a shitload that never left Japan.

Apparently, one of those games that never left was a PSP RPG of the entire first season of Digimon that included everyone's warp evolutions.

I think I'm going to cry because this is never coming to the states.

Remember Ryo from Digimon Tamers? He had a whole series of games and was Veemon's first tamer. And had a Demon Lord Digimon after his booty.

This was always something that bugged me too.

Season 2 is just incompatible with season 1 as far as ANY of the backstory goes.

I don't know which series that is but the third one was so good and then the next series started and everyone was just annoying and I never watched another digimon again.

And now it's like 10 years later.

Savers is the one with the main guy punching Digimon with his punk Agumon.

i dont think the caution worked because i thought skull greymon was cool as gently caress

They didn't get the "maybe this wasn't a good idea" thing right until Meggidramon. That fucker was creepy. I heard Data Squad had a Greymon fuckup, too. Was it scary?

Yup. There are a few battles where an evolved agumon is desperately needed for support so he has to figure out a way to punch the digimon in the face.

And in Xros Wars 2, he can murder waves of Belial Vandemon with his fists.

Wait. The original Japanese version didn't have different voices for the different forms? :psyduck:

Nope. It's funnier in Tamers when you get Saint Galgomon sounding like a baby, and Guilmon's forms sounding like granny Goku.

I'm not sure what you said and what I said really go together.

I know how much you hate the Digimon World games, and the hell you went through during that last Let's Play. I was saying I'd deal with the bullshit gameplay if they gave me my favorite Digimon, then remembered what they did for the PS4 international versions of Cyber Sleuth (added stuff that should've been in the game in the first place as DLC).
