Episode 12 - Fishing


We do some science and figure out that Alden has apparently been wrong about that porta potty glitch he's been talking about. Not entirely sure where it came from, but our Digimon definitely loses weight as soon as we use it. They're still useful to have around. At this point with getting sirlions every day, it's not super difficult to hit the weight requirements for evolutions anymore.

We recruit Bakemon to the city! If your partner is also a Bakemon it can translate what he's saying. If he's not just answer "yes, yes, no" to recruit him. He doesn't seem to do anything in town other than hang out around the item shop.

Also as the title suggests, we show off the fishing mini game with that old fishing rod we picked up at Trash Mountain. I'm never a huge fan of fishing mini games, but I think the added mechanic of having to manage the line tension is a little much. It can be surprisingly difficult to reel in a fish without the line breaking or it getting away. It's worthwhile to note that the DigiSeabass I was talking about also increases your Digimon's lifespan by 3 hours, so it's not a huge increase but I suppose if you get really good at it you could average over 1 DigiSeabass every 3 hours.

Fishing is also required to find Seadramon and unlock some other parts of the island, but we'll tackle that later.
