Digimon 02: D1 Tamers - Final Thoughts

Woohoo! I beat the Ryo trilogy :D -pops a party popper-

I didn't feel the need to make this multiple posts because this game is verrry similar to the last one (Tag Tamers). The main difference is that it's in glorious color! They also added a couple new features for better or for worse.

This game was fun and addicting just like the other two. There was just a little more grinding than I would hope for. The entire game took me 3 weeks to get through because of that. (Still not too shabby). Full thoughts below the cut.

Notes:

-The plot of this one felt kind of weird and forced. Firstly, I immediately got kind of confused about the chronology because the last game ended with Ken becoming the Digimon Emperor yet he's back to normal in this one. I guess either he hasn't progressed too much yet (it's only been a few days) or this is his IRL façade since we don't see him in the digi world. Anyways, the main plot is that Ryo has to fight in a tournament and if he wins said tournament then he'll become a soldier for the ~Harmonious Ones~ against Moon Millennium. I'm honestly not sure why the digi-Gods were included in this. They added nothing.

-Speaking of the Harmonious Ones, they ask you to pick one at the beginning of the game. I picked Qinglongmon because he was the only one I recognized lol. I'm not sure what the point of this choice was other than the fact that he shows up and says a couple things towards the end.

-Ken gets reduced to a guy-in-the-chair, but a very useful guy in the chair! I found the d-terminal way more handy this time around when it came to figuring out digivolution. Ken tells you exactly how many JP (Jogress points) you need to reach the next level. Honestly, it was a relief not having to tag team in this one too, that was kind of an annoying gimmick.

-Although jogress was still annoying in this game, they thankfully added an item that allows you to add +5 JPs to your digimon which made it so much easier to get some megas on my team. Also, digivolution and skills just felt more intuitive and happened faster this time around which is appreciated.

-I think they realized how OP stun was and nerfed it a bit. It's still a good feeling to win by stunning all the enemy digimon, but stun misses like 60% of the time, so you just waste your turn a lot of the time.

-Playing this right after Tag Tamers was pretty magical because I went from black and white to color (a Wizard of Oz moment). Although the inside of the dungeons were still very repetitive, the outsides were beautiful! (Showcasing some of my faves above).

-One stupid addition that made me mad was the D1 Tournament. This is a Digimon World-style AI vs. AI tournament where you just stare at the screen and hope your digimon win. It was just a slog to get through and I just wanted to get back to the dungeons. I really can't see the appeal in that sort of "gameplay." In fact, I fast forwarded or got up for a snack whenever it got to that part.

-Another lame part about this game is that you can't buy multiple items at once anymore! You could do it in Tag Tamers so why did they go backwards!? You seriously have to buy one item at a time. How dumb.

-I'm pretty proud of my final team: Metal Greymon, King Etemon, and AeroVeedramon. Metal Greymon had poison and curse, King Etemon had stun and AeroVeedramon had the best all-enemies attack. I could of gotten AeroVeedramon to mega as well, but I realized I didn't need to to win and it would have taken another few hours.

-There was a bit more variety in the dungeons compared to Tag Tamers. They all looked the same, but a lot of them had a gimmick. Some of them had puzzles or various ways you were supposed to interact with the bosses to progress. I'm glad they mixed things up a bit since the last game was really straightforward.

-Pretty hilarious that this game ends all ominously by being like "~And then we never saw Ryo again~" but then you hit the new game plus and Gennai's like "Ah, if it isn't Ryo!" Like, clearly the new game plus bit isn't part of the canon storyline, but it still made me chuckle.

-Apparently the only thing to do in new game plus is just continue raising digimon which...no thanks.

-I've heard that this acts as a prequel to Digimon Tamers which is so exciting! I'm glad that I'm doing things in the proper order. One more game (kinda-sorta?) and then I finally get to move on from Adventure 01/02 ;w;

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!

DigiWeek 2021: 8/1 Odaiba Day

This is our last evolution, and this is also our new adventure!

My take on Odaiba Day this year is drawing Taichi and Yamato from Kizuna running against the time to confront Menoa and Eosmon.

I draw these youths running in pure white background to show emptiness surrounding them. The remaining Chosen Children have been rendered unconscious by Eosmon (except Sora who has retired as Chosen Child, and Daisuke and co. who also join the fray in USA). And it is up to Taichi and Yamato to save them by defeating Eosmon. While they are running against the time, a spiritual image of another Digimon protags materializes behind their backs, indicating that they are spiritually supporting those men (yes, including Kizuna version of Daisuke and WonderSwan version of Ryou regarding of his status as legendary one). I depict them similar with the characters using Miracle Lights in Pretty Cure All Stars movies (where the Cures are in brink of defeat and the viewers support them by raising Miracle Lights to engage a Power Up and defeat the Big Bad).

And last but not least, Happy Odaiba Day for Digimon fans!

mE: /Everyone shut up/ 'Digital Survivor' sung by JUNICHI KANEMARU (*Same VA as Sonic!!) AKA Ryo Akiyama (Digimon 02 & Tamers) is playing

[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

Glad that you like the nicknames I gave the time travellers' partners ^^ And also - You know how all gomamon have spiky hairstyles right? Well I kinda made Gommie's hair into a mullet similar to Orton's ^^ what do you think?

I think is awesome and make him look better! I truly love his hairstyle. I think he looks very good with it!

Also, I mentioned this in a previous question, but I think that Gommie as a Vikemon should look like this:

This is the design of Vikemon, he has in Digimon 02: Tag Tamers, Digimon 02: D1 Tamers and Digimon Tamers: Brave Tamers and I think it suits Gommie so much, also, it’s different from Joe’s Vikemon.

Got any headcanons for Orton? It can be anything ^_^ I could sure use some hearing of them from others

Sorry if I answer this later, I had no headcannons in the moment you asked me this. But now I have some:

The first headcannon for Orton is that at first it seems that Orton finds awesome the Time Travel, but after Milo is sad because he couldn’t save his family from the Pistachions and he puts his hand on his shoulder to comfort him, I think he now realizes the emotional load Time Travel has, specially for the Pistachion invasion, he realizes how much he misses his family, despite the only thing we know is that Orton’s dad used to be an actor who did aZoning Commissioner, and that he cannot see them, because he’s stuck in a different timeline and now he’s alone, so he empathizes with Milo, about losing their families. Cavendish and Dakota I think they understand the predicament of both, but they’re used to that feeling, since they were prepared for it every mission.

Another headcannon: In case you wonder, Orton’s Goomie, I mean Gommie (I love that name, thanks) looks like this, when he warp evolves to Vikemon:

This is the spirte of Vikemon for Digimon 02: Tag Tamers, Digimon 02: D1 Tamers and Digimon Tamers: Brave Tamers and looks very different from Joe’s Vikemon, also I love it’s design and I think it’s perfect for Gommie.

I need to mention this, but when the Digimons evolve to Adult, Perfect or Ultimate, they lose their gear.

These are all headcannons I have for Orton Mahlson.
