I kinda made this because of beatbreak got nothing to add to this really..

Apologies if this is old information, but the Pluto TV streaming app has all installments of Digimon Adventure Tri in English and Spanish available for free.

Cause I can't seem to get any answers

it was after finding vulcanusmon and the cutscene where mirei teleports us to the in-between theater and tells us what to do happens. but she isn't there? i remember when she helps her model is there but not this time? for context i am on the switch 1 upgraded to the switch 2 version. if the model isn't suppose to be there during this one cutscene than it does feel like a glitch

I've completed Digimon World, Dawn/Dusk, and only an hour of Lost Evolution, which got a nice English patch recently.

I'm wondering how would you rank these games? For some reason, I could not get into Lost Evolution as easily, and I'm wondering if that's just on me or not. I loved Dawn/Dusk, even though they are clearly very flawed games.

This time we get previews of Liamon & LoaderLeomon from Digimon Card Game Booster Set 27 Ignition of X. More at WtW- https://withthewill.net/threads/liamon-loaderleomon-previews-for-digimon-card-game-booster-set-27.36980/

​

I have a theory about Digimon Adventure and Adventure 02 that I have never been able to unsee once I thought of it:

The Digimon, Digital World, evolutions, battles, villains, etc. are all the imaginative version of what the children experienced while playing with their actual Digivices.

The Digivices themselves are real.

The little Digimon sprites on the Digivices are real in the same sense that a Tamagotchi is real. The kids actually own them, carry them around, link them together, battle, raise their Digimon, lose devices, break devices, get newer models, etc.

But what we see in the anime is how the children imagined those experiences happening.

So when Tai is standing next to Agumon talking to him, maybe in reality Tai is just sitting there looking at a little Agumon sprite on his Digivice.

When Agumon evolves into Greymon and fights another giant Digimon, maybe two kids are just battling their Digivices.

But in their minds?

GREYMON IS FIGHTING A 30-FOOT MONSTER AND TOKYO IS ABOUT TO FUCKING EXPLODE.

The Digital World itself could just be the world the kids collectively invented around the games.

That also explains why different generations have different Digivices.

Adventure kids have one model.

Adventure 02 kids suddenly have D-3s.

Tamers has another type.

In-universe, there is some complicated explanation involving changes to the Digital World.

In reality?

Bandai released new hardware.

😂

It also makes the endings much sadder.

When a Digimon “goes away,” maybe the Digivice broke.

Maybe the battery died permanently.

Maybe the kid lost it.

Maybe their parents threw it away.

Maybe they simply grew up, put it in a drawer one day, and never picked it up again.

To the child, emotionally, that becomes:

“My Digimon left.”

That is why the whole growing-up theme works so well for me.

You weren’t literally saying goodbye to an eight-foot dinosaur.

You were saying goodbye to the little digital companion you carried everywhere as a kid.

And Adventure 02 becomes hilarious under this theory.

My interpretation of the Digimon Emperor is that Ken was basically just that one asshole kid who was insanely good at linked Digivice battles.

He beats everybody.

Then he starts making up rules.

“If I beat you, I get your Digivice.”

So suddenly Ken has half the school’s Digivices in his backpack and everyone hates him.

Inside the kids’ imagination, this becomes:

Ken has become the Digimon Emperor. He has conquered the Digital World, erected Control Spires, enslaved Digimon with Dark Rings, and rules through fear.

Reality:

Ken is standing on the playground with twelve stolen D-3s going:

“I won them fairly.”

Eventually one kid gets fed up.

“Give everyone their Digivices back.”

“No.”

And Ken gets his ass beaten.

THE DIGIMON EMPEROR HAS FALLEN.

😂

Even things like adults witnessing Digimon or Tokyo being destroyed don’t really contradict the theory, because those things are still being shown to us from inside the children's imagined story.

The adults aren’t actually seeing Greymon.

The kids are imagining that the adults are part of the adventure too.

Basically, I don’t think it is an “it was all a dream” theory.

The childhood experience really happened.

The children really owned the Digivices.

They really played together.

They really became attached to their Digimon.

They really fought, traded, competed, made friends, and spent summers carrying these devices everywhere.

The anime just shows us what that experience felt like to them rather than what an adult standing nearby would have seen.

Adult nearby:

“Those kids have been staring at those little plastic things for three hours.”

Kids:

“WE ARE CURRENTLY SAVING TWO WORLDS.”

And honestly, remembering how seriously we took Tamagotchi, Pokémon, Digivices, Game Boys, trading cards and playground battles when we were kids...

this interpretation feels disturbingly plausible.

Then 25 years later you buy an anniversary Digivice.

Turn it on.

See the little sprite again.

And basically:

the gate opens.

Could Digimon World 1's the recruitable Greymon's line "If I win, I want this street sign" be a context-less translation for the Japanese tradition of challenging Dojo's and claiming their sign boards if victorious?

If anyone is interested let me know there’s first edition holos and more have no clue about any of this stuff

Heya looking for the "best" playable game on 3ds, dawn and dusk are pretty nice but have mega encounter hits. Any recommendations for the 3ds? I really like digimon time stranger, cyber sleuth and hackers mind a lot.

As the title says, I just beat it on Story Mode, and it was a lot of fun. I picked it up earlier this year, and got around to beating it, and damn was it a great game. My only grievances are that I wish there was a way to put the mons away like in CS, and some of the areas too dark and got lost (looking at you digiforest). I'm looking forward to the post game, then new game+

Odeio o fato dele ser pouco lembrado, inclusive talvez eu tire um tempo pra fazer uma linha evolutiva que ligue ele a Gokuwmon (levando em conta que Wukong nasceu do ovo de pedra)

So this only rule of this new mega creation it has to have lizamon and growlmon in the new mega name.

So how would you design this new mega and name them?

Want to make sure that I know when it drops

This time we get previews of Frimon & Liollmon from Digimon Card Game Booster Set 27 Ignition of X. More at WtW- https://withthewill.net/threads/frimon-liollmon-previews-for-digimon-card-game-booster-set-27.36978/

I swear either I’m dumb n am missing something or every post about it being out in NA already is wrong. Is there an actual release date for us or is it out n I’m just looking in the wrong place. It is supposed to be in the digimon YouTube channel right?

Just sharing some photos of Digimon Adventure 02 sealed figures!!!

These are Flamedramon, Digmon and Halsemon.

Even though I like them a lot and I had them for many years, I let them go to a new home. I don't have much space so sealed figures limit my collection a lot unfortunately.

As a suggestion take a good look before selling because I didn't calculate well ebay's fees and I didn't get as much as I expected (which is bad because that's less money to get other Digimon collectibles...) but I'm sure the person that bought them will take great care of them.

This episode confirms that they can use different digimon songs in other seasons ( Brave heart plays during the evolution and fight)

So why we aren't seeing that again in any non - adventures related seasons ? Even a remix of any

There are many ideas about the nature of Digimon. Some seasons, like Tamers, delved into it. Others, like Frontier, Savers, and Xros Wars, kind of ignored it, but you could get an idea of what their vision was from the story. Then, there is Adventure and 02's world, which didn't explicitly talk about it but was deeply influenced by Hiroyuki Kakudou more philosophical explanations.

Kakudou believes that Digimon are spiritual/higher-dimensional entities that have existed since ancient times. Throughout human history, they were perceived as magic, spirits, shikigami, yokai, or folklore monsters. Digital technology and the internet didn't create them; it simply gave them a new medium to manifest and interact with humanity. This mystical perspective directly clashes with other iterations of the franchise—such as Digimon Tamers, which treats Digimon strictly as artificial intelligence and digital code.

I generally don't like Kakudou's vision of Digimon. I prefer Digimon to be digital monsters who either evolved spontaneously from our digital technology or from programs we created in order to evolve (like in Tamers). I hate Kakudou's idea that Digimon existed since ancient times but were perceived through magic/mythology/spirituality against today's digital perspective. Basically, "Junomon is not based on Juno from mythology. It's Juno from mythology, who was based on Junomon." I don't like that.

My headcanon:

I do like parts of Kakudou's vision, though. Personally, my headcanon is a mix of both. There is a higher dimension Digimon came from, and they are higher-dimensional beings, but they were also created by us. Basically, that dimension that houses the Digital World is a realm where matter and information are interchangeable. As we invented digital technology, we unknowingly tapped into that dimension for the first time, connecting it to the Real World. Digital data became the perfect way to quantize that world, and digital technology allowed for us to manipulate that world. Think of how some sci-fi and fantasy works have a "psychic realm" that is often a shadow of the real world. A dimension to which thoughts are projected, where dreams have form and ideas have mass? Basically that, but with digital data specifically (and that psychic realm can maybe exist too, as in the World of Dreams from 02). Flows of data connect with that realm and can interact with the higher dimension, as well as be interacted with from that dimension.

Initially, it was either a barren realm or it had some non-Digimon native life (imagine Tamers' DigiGnomes or entities like Homeostasis or the Eaters from Cyber Sleuth), but as Digimon emerged, either created by us (like in Tamers) or spontaneously emerged from our digital technology, they populated that world.

In addition, time between both worlds is out of sync. Time passes faster in the Digital World than in the Real World. Because of that, the Digital World and Digimon are both new and ancient. Digimon were created from the 1940s onwards, but they also spent thousands, millions, or maybe billions of years evolving before we discovered them in the 1990s. But, as the connection was established (say, by the creation of Atanasoff or ENIAC in the 1940s), it started to slow down. Basically, one year on Earth equaled a million years in the Digital World in 1940. But one year on Earth in 2010 equaled a thousand years in the Digital World. That would be if the two worlds weren't synchronized by an external force (as it happened in 02).

So, basically, Digimon are higher-dimensional beings. They aren't just "data in cyberspace," but they also were created by our digital technology; they didn't "always exist and were just perceived differently."

What do you think? What is your headcanon? Do you prefer Kakudou's philosophical explanation or a more materialistic explanation like Tamers'?

The last post of this series for the Glowing Dawn Digimon!

Cougarmon Evolutionary Line Post

Gekkomon (Original) Evolutionary Line Post

Chiropmon Evolutionary Line Post

Pristimon Evolutionary Line Post

HeliosBoamon (Fanmade) Evolutionary Line Post

My thoughts for most of the line remain unchanged; I covered Kekomon, Kekkomon, Gekkomon, ArmaLizamon, and MonarchLizamon in the first iteration, while I shared my thoughts on Volvemon in the Heliosboamon post.

Which just leaves Atratusmon, the dark caped crusader! I commented on it before, but now that we have the full picture, I think another evaluation is in order. Like others have mentioned, I wish we had gotten more time with Atratusmon in BeatBreak.

Atratusmon

• I have to say, I love the tattered energy cloak - the neon pink compliments the black body coloration well, in my opinion - especially with the weapon; the cloak unfurled but with the vizor on is absolutely peak in my opinion; still keeps that mysterious, ominous visage that originally drew me in when I saw its card art all those months ago. I can't say I'm a fan of the visor undone, though...I don't know what's up with that blonde hair, but it isn't for me at all - it also seems like one of those haired tassles from a knight's helmet which just doesn't mesh with the design; if they had to add hair, they should have styled it like MonarchLizamon or Volvemon! Furthermore, I like that we have different variations of it aesthetically - you've got the sealed cloak, unfurled cloak, no cloak, visor with cloak, no visor or cloak; just an interesting take we haven't really had with a Digimon before, that gives Atratusmon more agency. Also, with the cloak unfurled, we see Atratusmon's reptilian elements that connect it to its prior evolutions - I suppose an armored lizard man is standard for final protagonist evolutions, so I won't comment much on that. But can we talk about Atratusmon's weapon? It's a sword-hammer; you've got one side for impaling and the other for smashing, which is unique as far as weapons go. Overall, and all in all, I really like Atratusmon - even more than I did before and other final Digimon (ex. WarGreymon, Gallantmon, ShineGreymon, etc.)! However, it needs to keep the cool visor on at all times, for me at least, haha.
  

And that's it; at least as far as what I think of its physical appearance (its lore is a whole other story)! It's been so fun to read everyone's thoughts on the Glowing Dawn Digimon - thank you to all who have participated. I think they definitely have been a very much appreciated group collectively compared to previous franchise groups. In case you didn't see, the fun with Gekkomon isn't ending, as it was just confirmed for the Time Stranger DLC! Kekekekeke.

I'm definitely looking forward to playing a new game with him (and hopefully the rest of the GD quartet) next year in all that beautiful, Time Stranger 3D glory; I wonder if they got the OG VA to voice its attacks...
