Digimon Anode/Cathode Tamer: Veedramon Edition - 5 hours in

Another long-ass title I have to type out. Also, another name that only sounds cool to Japanese people, but to English speakers it's just like "wtf am I looking at?"

Anyway! I started playing the Wonderswan Digimon game! I think this game was an attempt to use the Pokémon model of having two versions of pretty much the same games with a different variety of mons in each. (Only ever seen Pokémon and Yokai Watch do that). I honestly can't remember which version I selected, but I'm only going to do one of them. Judging by the walkthrough I'm using, it seems like this will be a short one. That's already a plus in my book. I'm enjoying myself so far.

Notes:

-First impressions of this game were very much a mixed bag. On the one hand, I really like the art/graphics, but I was very frustrated to not be told wtf was going on, like with Digimon World 1. I did end up picking things up pretty quickly, but I don't think a newer kid's game would ever be this vague. Also, the music is very annoying and repetitive.

-I didn't expect poor Ryo to get so ripped off! Gennai calls him a "chosen child," but then is immediately like "here, have this hand-me-down digivice and Agumon." Lame! I get they're trying to tie it into the anime, but they still could have given Ryo his own stuff. Oh well, maybe that changes later.

-Plot-wise we have a similar issue to Digimon Adventure 02, why can't the OG kids just help? -big shrug-

-I groaned when Gennai welcomed me to the digital world lol. Hate that dude.

-Now that I've gotten used to the battle system I'm having a lot of fun. I haven't played a ton of tactical RPGs (I briefly played but didn't finish Disgaea) so seeing that that was the play style made me a little nervous.

-Already some improvements over Digimon World 2 (even though this game is older): taming digimon is less painful, when you lose in a dungeon you can just try again instead of getting a game over screen, very easy to fast forward through things and the battles aren't as painfully slow, and I haven't hit any annoying storage limits (yet). Earning money, skills, and stat increases come pretty quickly so grinding is satisfying too.

-There's a lot of extra stuff in this game I'll probably just ignore. It seems they wanted this game to be very social, but I don't have anyone to play with, so I obviously won't be exploring the multiplayer features. No clue what the analyzer does.

-I'm 4 dungeons in and there are only 13 of them. It's still kinda tricky for me to predict how long this game will be though because I'm assuming future dungeons might take many tries.

-Sooo this game was officially released in English by Bandai Asia, but I don't think the US ever got the Wonderswan, so I guess it was for English speakers in the East only. Weirdly I was watching an anime the other day and they suddenly mentioned the handheld. I was like "what are the odds!?" (Anime is Haiyoru! Nyaruani: Remember My Lovecraft-sensei. It's really bad, don't watch it lol)

The Canonicity of the Digimon Wonderswan Games

I am right now a bit back into my old Digimon hyperfixation I am afraid. So let me nerd out a bit more about it, or in this case rant about another thing.

See, I am in a bit of a weird position in regards of this fandom. I am from Germany, where we got the dub names and stuff, but the Japanese cut of the anime. But also, I switched to watching the sub already by the time Digimon Tamers was starting to air in Japan, and had fairly easy access to most of the Japanese media for the franchise through the magic of the internet.

As such I grew up with the Japanese stuff for Digimon in the most part. Including the Wonderswan games, that are kinda legendary in the west. And man, let me tell you: I love those games. They are not really good games, I would argue. Like the game mechanics are just not very polished, and like in a lot of Japanese games at the time you needed to grind quite a lot. But I loved the story and the way it was portrayed. And I adore the game version of Ryou. He is my cute baby boy, who needs a serious hug.

However... Something that I have already been annoyed with was the fact that a lot of western fandom has always seen these games as canon. And I kinda get why - at least in regards to Adventure/02 - given that Ryou gets referenced in the canon a lot. It is canon that Ryou exists in this universe, as well as Millenniumon. And it is canon that Ken and Ryou travelled through the digital world. However... The game as it is, is in fact not canon and never was meant to be. This is because games very much contradict several aspects of the primary canon (the show). Let us go through those things, okay?

Anode/Cathode Tamer

This game takes place on New Years Eve 1999, so about 4 (or really 5) months after Digimon Adventure. Millenniumon, a Digimon that has been formed when the data of the defeated Machinedramon fused with a Chimeramon, messed up the digital world and brought back the villains the Chosen Children had already defeated. Being brought back, they kidnap the Chosen children. Agumon turns to a human child - Ryou Akiyama - as he needs a human to evolve. So, Ryou on his own has to fight through the villains of Digimon Adventure to free the chosen children. He is not a Chosen Child himself, though, being made to borrow Taichi's Digivice.

Now, this game is clearly not canon - the villains being brought back is never mentioned again, and it is explicitly said that spring 2000 was the first time that the Chosen Children returned back to the Digital World after their original adventure.

Other than that... I kinda love how vile the villains are in this game. I really adore it. But yeah, definitely not canon.

Tag Tamers

Tag Tamers starts during the events of the second movie. Diaboromon is defeated and just as this happens, Ryou and Ken get contacted by V-mon and Piccolomon. Millenniumon is back, and it is up to Ryou to defeat it. This time he has to partner up with V-mon, who is already destined to be Daisuke's partner. So Ryou and Ken go visit the digital world together - only to find out, that it was all a trap set up by Millenniumon to lure Ryou back.

This game at once is the one most directly referenced in the Show (with Ken's flashback to getting infected with the Dark Spore) and also the more most directly contradicted by the show. Because while the game takes place in March 2000, the series explicitly names the time of Ken and hence Ryou travelling to the digital world as August 2000, exactly a year post-Adventure. More interestingly we do not see any partner with Ryou in the flashback either, and it is pretty clear that if V-mon ever met Ken or Ryou before, he does most certainly not remember.

It should also be noted that in this game Ken and Ryou both get D-3 Digivices, while in the primary canon Ken obviously received a normal Digivice at this point, that only later turned into the D-3 at the Dark Ocean.

D-1 Tamers

D-1 Tamers takes place not too long after Tag Tamers. While watching over Ken, who is sick from the Dark Spore, Ryou finds an online quiz about Digimon and upon answering it gets once more summoned to the Digital World. Here, he is made to participate in the D-1 Tournament against other Children and their Digimon partners, including both characters from the anime and some original characters. However, soon enough it turns out, that the tournament was just something created by the Holy Beasts to train Ryou up to once more fight against Millenniumon.

Basically, the same from before applies. The kids in this game all have D-3 Digivices, that did not yet exist in this universe. Nowhere in canon is it ever mentioned that Taichi and Co. have travelled back to the Digital World at this point - and mind you, the entire thing with the Holy Beasts also does not make a whole lot of sense considering the canon of the show (with the Holy Beasts just being brought back).

As someone who tends to latch onto minor characters very easily, I loved the original characters in this game, even though they have very few lines.

Mind you, if you have been in Digimon fandom spaces for a longer time, you might have come across the picture underneath before and thought to yourself: "Oh, this looks official." However... It is actually Fanart. To be exact this picture seems to originate with a fan-book on the games called Digimon Crusader. (I have been trying to get my hands on that one before. But I have only seen it two times up for auction and never could get manage to set up a proxy in time - as the sellers were never shipping to Europe.)

This is the book by the way:

Brave Tamer

Lastly there is Brave Tamer, a game that is rather hard to describe, because it involves a ton of time travel. Hurray, because this plot was not already convoluted enough. lol

Basically, it starts with Ryou at the very beginning of the Digital World, meeting Monodramon and then timehopping a whole lot to help both the Chosen Children and Tamers (who also show up here, because the game released by the time Tamers was out), and also get some closure. Please note, at this point in time the digital world has fucked up Ryou's mental health for good. lol

The game ends with Monodramon forcing a fusion between himself and Millenniumon, defeating the villain like this and leaving Ryou out of time with a single Digitama.

The plot of this game, due to the time travel, is a whole mess. I adore the game for the worldbuilding it does for the Adventure digital world, even though this, too, is doubtful in terms of canonicity. There is no real harm to take this as canon for the Adventure-world, though obviously the show itself contradicts this in terms of canon for the Tamers-world.

The crossover stuff between Tamers and Adventure verse is also very confusing to say the least. But yeah, given that none of the interactions here ever get referenced anywhere: This is also very certainly not canon. (Also, for some reason Ryou aged 2 years between D-1 Tamers and Brave Tamer, even though Brave Tamer starts up very shortly after D-1 Tamers ends.)

So, what is canon?

All of this might leave you wondering: What is canon for Ryou? Well, it is kinda hard to say. What we can assume is something like this:

In the universe of Digimon Adventure there is or was a boy named Akiyama Ryou. We do not know a whole lot about him, but based on his design he was probably 10 or 11 years old in August of 2000. When Ken first got called into the Digital World, he met Ryou there, and the two of them defeated Millenniumon, getting Ken infected with the Dark Spore. We do not know what happened to Ryou after this, but it seems unlikely that he and Ken stayed in contact, given Ken never brings him up. It is not impossible that he has died, though this is never confirmed, or contradicted by the canon.

In the universe of Digimon Tamers, there also exists a boy named Akiyama Ryou. Other than the boy from the games, he is not from Tokyo, but from a fishing village near Kitakyushu. We do not know whether he has a mother, but he has a father, as well as an uncle who lives in Tokyo. Whenever Ryou participated in the Digimon tournaments, he stayed with his uncle, apparently. In December 2000, Ryou meets Cyberdramon in Tokyo, and realized that Cyberdramon cannot stay in the real world because it is too aggressive. So he decides to travel to the Digital World together with it. Now, technically you can argue whether Cyberdramon is the Digimon resulting from the fusion of Monodramon and Millenniumon, but Ryou is very much a different character with a different backstory.

(And mind you: No, that US Comic that marries the Digimon Tamers story with some of the game story, is very much not canon, like all US-only material.)

[digi-lov]

how do u even start getting into Digimon?? there so much stuff, i dont even know where to begin. like, there is like a hundred shows??? do i start with the first one that came out??

Idk man it just happened??

No, but seriously, don't worry about it! There aren't even that many shows if you ask me. I'll put a list below the cut! I'll list all movies too, so it'll look like more than it really is. Also the dates are the japanese air dates.

Obviously starting with the first season, Digimon Adventure is an easy pick, it also has the most sequels and movies.

But aside from the Adventure related media, all other Digimon Seasons are completely self-contained, and you can just go and watch any! They also all explore "Digimon" and the Digital World in different ways. I personally loved them all.

For the anime I also highly recommend watching the Japanese original. I'm sorry for anyone who grew up with it, but I can barely stand watching the English Dub at all. If you know German though, the German Dub is really good. I still prefer the Japanese original, but the German Dub is at least a translation and not a fan fiction.

The same basically goes for the games. You can just pick any of them up! Also, all Digimon games kind of do their own thing in terms of gameplay and mechanics. There's similarities too, but usually each have their own vibe. A lot of the DS titles do work very similar though!

Now you can play Digimon Anode Tamer and Cathode Tamer. And their sequel, Digimon Tag Tamers. I don’t know any other Wonderswan games. Also apparently other people were incapable of identifying this system when they watched this show. I’m the best at watching Ex-Aid.

[reliablejoukido]

Different Anon here. Yeah, on the Japanese Wonderswan there were a pair of games called Digimon Adventure Anode and Digimon Adventure Cathode. The sequel, Digimon Adventure 02: Tag Tamers details Ken's first adventure into the digital world, working alongside Ryo to defeat Milleiummon. That's where he's infected with the dark spore. There's some game play, I think of all of them, on Youtube. Even fan translations. I've never watched or played these games, though.

Ohhh okay. These games sound really fascinating. Thanks to everyone who's been telling me about these.

Digimon Anode/Cathode Tamer: Veedramon version - Final thoughts

Wow, what a compact little game! I guess that's pretty typical for a handheld, licensed game. This one took me around 15 hours to beat in a single week. Nice. I think gameplay-wise this was actually my favorite so far. I really enjoyed the tactical RPG battle system. It forced me to strategize a bit, so there was juuust enough challenge to make things feel satisfying. Probably doesn't have a lot of replay value, but I'd recommend giving this one a try! (Especially if you're a fan of the original anime because it takes place immediately after it).

Notes:

-I was kind of surprised that most of the bosses in this game were push overs. The guide I was following hyped me up for them and then the majority of them only took me one try. Even the final boss was pretty easy and left me thinking "that's it?"

-Similar to Digimon World 2, this game didn't really motivate me to tame anymore digimon than I needed. The game actually just gives you digimon as you go along and those suited me fine.

-Weirdly this game doesn't really feature digivolution in the traditional sense and, aside from the boss digimon, the partner digis only go up to champion. I kind of appreciated the simplicity of this. I also thought it was clever that the digimon could psuedo-digivolve via the variables. That actually made a lot of sense because digivolutions in the anime are like temporary summons anyway.

-In honor of the V-Tamer 01 manga, I got a Veedramon and named it Zero. He ended up being my strongest partner.

-I still think the story was kinda lackluster. Ryo is just borrowing his digivice and his partner digimon and at the end they're all like "See ya! We're gonna go back to our REAL partners that we like more than you" lol. Also, toxic masculinity Tentomon made me sad:

-Side note: this game's font is terrible. Look at those nearly identical ls and exclamation points!

-Millenniumon low key looks like a Xenomorph in his portrait.

-I'm not going to play Cathode tamer because it's essentially the same game and I've also decided to not do the 4 bonus dungeons. My reasoning is that they don't really seem worth it. It's cool that you can tame the bosses, but one of the hidden dungeons requires you to complete the Digimon Analyzer which I believe requires you to link the games? I guess I could cheat to get to that point, but it still doesn't really seem worth the trouble. If it added to the story maybe, but based on what I've seen on YouTube, it doesn't.

-Loved all of the art so much! Not just in the story bits, but the variables and the digimon sprites were all great. More charming than the PS1 3D versions for sure. The world itself and the battle grounds were a little bland and repetitive, but I liked the designs of the boss dungeons (see the Milleniummon one above). Anything's better than the horrible Digimon World 2 dungeons!

-Just as I expected, I really didn't bother with or need a lot of the extra stuff in this game. A lot of the buildings in town I went into maybe once or twice. I never used Penguinmon trading, Piximon training, Leomon colosseum, or the digimon analyzer. I didn't bother expanding the amount of digimon I could carry via Nanimon because I didn't need anymore digimon. If I had access to this game in the 90s and had my unlimited kid free time, I might explore these features more, but I don't care to do so now. I've got a zillion more Digimon video games to get through!

-I'm trying not to spoil myself for future franchise entries, but it sounds like Ryo will return in other games. I hope he gets justice for his blah storyline then.

Day 7- Home

I made a PowerPoint because me ranting about Ryo yesterday sparked my "I must rant about the WonderSwan Games" urge. Despite this, this is still the surface level of the games since tumblr only lets you upload 10 images at once so I had to condense it, might do a more in-depth look sometime. I acknowledge the background is ugly but I regret nothing.

Edit- I just realized I forgot to clarify that Mille is ZeedMille during the entirety of Brave Tamer, but I luckily I think that’s common knowledge

Edit 2- yeah I’m looking back and I realized I put that you have to collect pieces of the digimental of desire to open the door to MoonMille??? That’s completely wrong, dunno where I got that from. What you actually have to do is beat normal Mille in the same number of turns as Ken as you did as Ryo (EX: if you beat Mille in 10 turns as Ryo you have to beat him in 10 turns as Ken) and yes that’s as annoying as it sounds.

Game Journal: Anode/Cathode Tamer - Entry #06

And with these words, we proceed to the end of the journey, the battle against Millenniummon.

After stepping onto the portal, we arrive at a golden lair floating in the middle of a void, surrounded by lights and strange looking crystals. Once again we are confronted by PicoDevimon, who panics and runs away to his master. For this final battle, I stick to the team I used for the Piemon fight, Tailmon-Patamon-Musyamon.

We go through six random battles, each consisting of 2 Adult-levels and a Child-level, except for the last one, which has 3 Adult-levels. All 6 fights happen in different terrains, be them grasslands, deserts or snowlands, with varying areas of water and mountains. During these, my Musyamon learns the “Angewomon” Variable Move, becoming my second healer, and oh boy was it necessary.

I also learn to fear some new Variable Moves from my enemies, which don’t directly affect my team’s stats so much as make them hungry or in need of relief, indirectly weakeaning them for as long as I don’t take care of them. I run out of food soon enough, having to go through the dungeon with a hungry team.

After the six battles are done, I once again fight the previous bosses, this time accompanied by their most notable servants (except Piemon, who has a Meramon for some reason). They don’t speak this time, for some reason. They showcase new Variable Moves, which the post-game tells me I can get by repeating these exact same configurations. Also, I finally get rid of PicoDevimon. Can’t forget that.

Upon defeat, Mugendramon appears, also silent. He has the most health points out of any enemy digimon in the game, but thankfully his lack of flying means I can easily corner him and beat him 3-on-1.

Mugendramon finds his defeat more amusing than anything, and morphs into Millenniummon. It turns out he’s completely immune to Variable Moves or attacks from digimon other than the Chosen���s, so I can’t fight him long distance and my Musyamon is now only useful for support. He also packs quite a punch.

Millenniummon has access to the “Apocalymon” Variable Move, which affects all my digimon simultaneously, and may or may not imply certain things about his in-universe power level. Still, once again his lack of flight means I can corner him, and after abusing the healing moves from my Musyamon, I’m capable of defeating the fused chimera.

Millenniummon’s defeat means we can now rescue Taichi, who is overjoyed to see his partner. The feeling is mutual. Taichi thanks Ryo for saving him, but Ryo denies it, saying Agumon and the rest of the digimon deserve the thanks. Ryo asks whether this means he can now go back home, which Taichi confirms. Ryo gets emotional upon realizing this means separating from Agumon, but not only that, he remembers Agumon was never actually his partner, but Taichi’s. Still, he asks Agumon not to worry about him.

The entire team gathers to thank Ryo and promise him they’ll meet again. For some reason, Tentomon tells him not to cry because “real men don’t cry”. I don’t remember Tentomon thinking like that in the anime.

Taichi promises they’re friends forever, and as long as Ryo remembers these battles, they’ll meet again. Or, you know, you could exchange e-mail adresses. That works too.

Agumon and Ryo share a tearful goodbye. Ryo looks devastated. Agumon is also clearly sad, but nowhere near that extent, and does his best to comfort the boy.

Finally, the team goes back to File Island, where the resident digimon thank Ryo for all he has done for the Digital World. Gennai doesn’t show up because he’s grumpy I guess.

It’s very unclear how exactly Ryo gets back home, but he does, and apparently no time has passed in the human world. His mother wonders how the computer continued working with no power, but brushes it off as just something strange. Ryo’s father soon arrives, from work I guess, and wonders aloud at how much more grown Ryo looks.

The boy himself is distracted, hoping that he’ll meet the digimon again, and so the story ends.

See you next time for my final thoughts on the game, its story and characters!

BONUS:

For the post-game, this strange structure in the village I mentioned in an earlier entry is finally accessible. It’s about 5 or 6 battles to unlock new digimon for the competitive scene. Given this is a 21 year old game in a failed gaming console that never reached the West, I’m assuming I’ll never use those.

[acevaliant]

the only good/non forced choice to a digimon representant in smash bros is if they are like pokemon trainer and have one of those guys as their tamers

Because let's be serious here...digimon never begin as a game franchise, as well, agumon wasn't a game character, it's more like a toy franchise with those v-pets. it's like if they want to put the lego batman on smash just because lego HAS games and he is in lego dimensions. however, we have a planty of digimon game chars that could do a tribute to the games and have agumon as partner.well maybe not the cybersleuth ones since they don't have agumon as their cannon partner, but they have some non forced chance to get in, since terry and sans made it

About Me:

You can call me Lov! My name is Lou, the Blog name is a play on writing my name with v as the u and Love for Digimon.

I grew up watching the German Digimon Dub, and also played a lot of Digimon World, DW 2003, Rumble Arena, and more, in my childhood.

I haven't played all Digimon games yet, but I'm working on it!

I love all original Digimon Anime seasons, Adventure to Savers. I haven't gotten around to watching any newer ones myself yet.

My favorite Digimon is Bearmon! If I had a Bearmon Partner Digimon, this would be the evolution line:

YukimiBotamon > Kapurimon > Bearmon > Gryzmon > Pandamon > Dianamon

I mostly try to post cards in English to make the card text more accesible to everyone. If you see a post with Japanese Card text, I'll update it once the English version is out.

The Official Digimon Card Game Twitter didn't start sharing cards regularly until around BT-08, and anything before BT-05 is especially hard to find. I usually have to edit multiple versions of the image together. I hope you all appreciate the effort!
