Digimon, anyone?

[Taodragon]

That's pretty much right, both are retired unfortunately and seem to have been replaced with Collectors and Crusaders, the former of which acts like a TCG card game on a smartphone and the latter as a RPG that uses cards. Both have fantastic artwork (though they suffer from the gratiutous fanservice that Jintrix and Mervamon brought), which even include some oft-forgotten Digimon like Wingdramon, Flaremon, Monmon and Ancientroiamon. Here's a link to both games for anyone that is interested, their gallery links should be on the page:

Apologies for doing this again but we finally have the final evolution for Kari in the Adventure RPG, it's confirmed that it's Ophanimon: http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org3766099.jpg

Link not working for me...

Ahh Kind of wanted it to be Magnadramon like the 1st season's movies, but I guess Ophanimon would make sense to match with Seraphimon

[Shine]

oh wow.


Just saw the Dukemon D-Arts being sold on the shop on a mall nearby. I'm totally going to buy it this Sunday

It's slightly more expensive than the Beelzebumon one, simply because the Dukemon one comes with a stand lol

which even include some oft-forgotten Digimon

so true, I completely forgot Deramon exist until I saw its card on the Collectors' gallery lol

Link not working for me...

It worked for me yesterday, but I guess it has been taken down now, it now leads to a 404.

I found the same pic somewhere else, though. I saved it, and reupload it on my Photobucket account, so you should be able to see it now.

Here's the link, the pic's kinda big, by the way.

[Pokemonsean]

I loved digimon but it doesnt show anymore

[Taodragon]

^The dub should be coming out sometime next year so hold on just a bit longer.

Same, lol. Collectors has been a boon to me for getting better references on those Digimon.

And thanks for posting that, I didn't notice the link wasn't working after I posted it.

[Lucario95]

I like digimon when I was a child, I stop watching starting the 4th season.

[Crimsonlink]

Hope there is news of a Season 7 soon. With Sailor Moon rebooting and DBZ movie coming next year, its gonna be full of nostalgic memories next year lol.

[AhTreyYou]

Marcus has been my favourite character if this franchise since Data Squad. I love how he fights and actually kicks ***. In Xros Wars: Hunters he managed to defeat tons of VenomMyotismon with just a single punch. I love how he's unique when compared to all the other goggle heads

got the Dukemon D-Arts





It's quite tall compared to the Beelzebumon D-Arts. If the Dukemon is on a standing upright position, the difference in height is really clear.

NICE! I need to get my hands on one. Also the height difference works out since Dukemon is taller than Beelzebumon.

[Griff4815]

It took way too much effort and money to get all of the D-arts digimon. It was worth it though.

[Skiks]

I really should have bought the omegamon D-arts. But I already spent too much money on the sister line from bandai to have any left to get him when he first came out.

[ViperQueen]

Thanks Shine...Im able to see it now
-Just a few more days until its released in Japan

[Instant..123]

So I have posted here in Serebii for about 2-3 years but with XY coming I decided to use my account again.

Was anyone here part of the Digimon Club ages ago, I think run by a guy called HotShot?

[Griff4815]

Hey, Instant. I am. I'm the co-owner, in fact. The club isn't too active though.

[Dr. Steve]

My experience with Digimon has been kind of mixed for me. I personally never got invested in to the series enough to be completely sucked in to it. My 1st initial reaction as a kid was that Digimon was a Pokemon rip-off and to a certain degree it is but I do appreciate the things that do make it unique.

I love the fact that the Digimon Anime series has always introduced a new cast of characters with every new incarnation. This definitely is something I wished for the Pokemon Anime. Instead having Ash as their go-to poster boy for every season they could've easily kept it fresh by making every new region experience the life of a new protagonist. I also do like the fact that Digimon is not afraid to take bigger risks in comparison to Pokemon. Such as having your Digimon turn in to a skeleton form or having a giant world consuming virus as your main antagonist.

So why didn't I get sucked in to it? Well firstly I think it came down to the animation. What I noticed about every Digimon series that I have seen up until this point was that the art style definitely looked great from a distance but once I see a fight take place it just looks kind of half assed to me. Hell most of the time when there is a fight there is barely anything to talk about because they spent almost an entire episode just digivolving over and over. I can even easily tell that most of the budget went in to the digivolution sequences instead of the actual battles. I never had these problems whenever I watched Pokemon.

The 1 Season that caught my interest the most was actually Season 3. That series seemed to have had my favorite designs. I love Guilmon, Renamon, and Impmon and their evolved forms. Ironically though most people I talked with who are or were Digimon fans say that Season 3 was their least favorite in the series.

I also used to own a Digimon video game on the PS1 because the commercial suckered me in to buying it. I think it was Digimon World 3. Unfortunately I never had the patience to beat it. It was ultimately a poor man's Pokemon game. You went around a region to collect 4 Badges from 4 Gym Leaders and you battled Legendary Digimon such as Pharoahmon and MasterTyrannomon plus a lot of annoying backtracking...

Finally I guess ultimately it was just much easier to get in to Pokemon for me and most kids back in the 90s. I can watch the Pokemon Anime and gain knowledge that I can carry over to the games. Also in terms of design Digimon as a whole seemed to have attracted mostly boys while Pokemon attracted both genders. This became apparent because Digimon often advertised the more badass looking designs such as Greymon, WarGreymon, Birdramon, etc that obviously were equipped with arm cannons, swords and guns and whatnot. Pokemon shot for both. Yes there were cool looking Pokemon like Charizard, Scyther, Mewtwo, and Tyranitar that caught attention of guys like me. But they're also feminine designs like Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Nintetails, Chansey/Blissy, Starmie, Butterfree that attracted girls. It was an overall good balance for long-term growth.

I know this post is a bit long but I just kind of wanted to get that outta my chest. I'm not trying to ruin Digimon for anybody. If you love Digimon more power to you. I wish I could've gotten in to it myself but it just never caught on with me.

yeah, Digimon 3 does looks like a Pokemon game when looking at a few factors in it.
And it's actually 8 leaders, you fight 4 of them in Asuka Server, and 4 others in Amaterasu Server. In other words, this part is perfectly identical to Pokemon.

Regarding the backtracking.....I agree, that game has one of the most annoying backtracking ever, not to mention it involves a maze with no map.
Though, unlike you, I actually finished the game.

I know it is just a mere coincident (or not) but has anyone noticed lately we get Digimon series the same time a new Pokemon Gen comes out? Frontier=Gen 3-2002 Data Squad=Gen 4-2006 and Fusion=2010-Gen 5.

Not saying were getting one were getting one this year but I suppose the chance is there. I would not mind something more serious as a plot. Nothing too dark. Heck a season 3 follow up would be nice. I remember the portal was open still in the final scene. Always seemed like a follow up would be the most likely of any of the other series.

On a side note the new game is out in a few hours (in Japan) planning to get it in a bit when it is up.

You think those are bad? You should see the Digimon Collector cards.

I know about the Collector ones, but then again both Collector & Jintrix shares the same art style.
