100 years late to getting into Digimon. Heres my Digimon Tamers oc Jackie and her super corrupted Impmon Hallow.

Jackie doesn't even play digimon how did she end up with one? Fate it would seem. Even if Hallow is wildly glitchy thats ok she gets sick a lot too.

[Ni/digitalgate02 here] See, this is what i've been thinking for ages and i don't like to limit myself into what is stated on wikimon and other fansites' databases to make lines... They're not a mandatory rule, and with things like the new TCG DigiCa they just embraced the wild combos you can make and evolution rules are by card color and not by specific lines (tho they do have some... suggestions now on the cards, i think?)

i also like the wild combos like Tailmon's OG Adv/02 line?? Which is slime → cat blob → puppy → cat → angel woman → PINK FLUFFY DRAGON

I wish we had more things like these... At least consistent theme, but not like Agu → Grey → MetalGrey → WarGrey sort of line... (and look, i love this line, it just... I love the design + shapes to change a little... ya got me?)

i love most of the main kid/protag mons and their forms, tho...

Like to be fair to Toei/Bandai, there is partially a reason to why the main partners especially tend to have such linear, specific evolution trees; not only because it makes the Digimon easier to sell, but also because the characters need to be easily recognizable to small children. Like the main character(s) having really bizarre evolutions could make it hard for a child to keep up with who's who (especially if they missed an episode), while having very consistent and strong thematic and color coding (etc) will make it always super easy for kids to keep up with. So I understand WHY the main partners tend to be the way they are, it just is the way it is. (It's also why I really loved the evolutions in Survive because aside from Agumon's Vaccine-line, that shit was WILD and I was LIVING for it, Dracumon alone had me losing my fucking shit, Floramon too)

Also I do feel like the emphasis on evolution lines is something the fandom tends to enforce more than Bandai/Toei. And, much to my shock and horror, a lot of people do kind of dislike wild evolutions, some people prefer the Pokémon-esque strict evolution lines. (See: every person who has ever made fun of Tailmon's evolution line for "not making sense") So often I see people share their Tamer OCs and their partner Digimon with full evolution lines and more often than not it's just a known partner Digimon with their default evolution line. Everybody has their own comfort food, and strict evolution lines are just that for some people. Which is fine, I'm just a little 🔪 if anybody tries to enforce strict evolution lines in places they don't belong (aka any space for creativity)

But indeed, I wish we could see more Wild Evolutions in canon more often, or at least have the main partner's evolutions change things up a little more than they tend to (honestly probably the best protag evolution is Gumdramon -> Arresterdramon, like despite the mostly identical color palette and many key visual elements, they really do look nothing alike and yet the evolution feels like a natural progression and is still easily recognizable, really love that.)

If there were to be a visual novel fleshing out Tamers 2018 into a full story, with Ruki as the protagonist for obvious reasons, how many routes would you prefer it to have?

If you've never played a visual novel before, a route is a single coherent branch of story. A route may have multiple endings but the body of the plot must remain the same.

For reference, FSN and FMDM have three, Tsukihime has five, and Umineko and Mahoyo have one.

Uffff, this is quite a hard question for me; mostly because I don't really want to see new Tamers content and for it to become the next "adventure nostalgia sells" or a new "tri." (overall if K*naka is involved in any way) but oh well, that ain't stopping us fans from doing "fan stuff" right? So, if we ignore my complex feelings over new Tamers content, I can freely think on things :3

As someone who is obsessed with Digimon Survive, I find the 4 routes formula to be neat (plus the bad end which is just "game over" so, that makes it 5?) but I would also love to have at least 2 extra routes (for survive, I would love to see a different kid getting killed by part 5) so, following my taste in plots I think 5 routes would be ok, considering I don't really know what kind of trouble/adventure we could get.

BUT, since we are already here, I'd like to indeed take the 2018 CD drama in consideration and for the story to be about Ruki going to look for Renamon and maybe unveil the mystery behind Takato's disappearance plus, for the sake of "evolution" progress and fights, we could have Renamon soon in the story just to find there are awful things going on in the Digital World and only Ruki can save them all, how about that? (And since I'm gay af, let me have the prologue with Ruki comforting Juri over Takato's absence).

Look, I'm just making this up as I'm typing here so take it with a grain of salt (in if I can make content about this or nah xD).

The Good True end would be saving Takato and the Digital World plus having a convenient gate for the Digis to live happily with their tamers again (like Adv02).

The Good end would be saving Takato and the Digital World but they have to say bye again to their Digis to have angst (ง ื▿ ื)ว

The Neutral end would be Saving the Digital World but Takato (or Renamon) dies :3c

The Alright end would be saving Takato (and Renamon) but dissaster falls upon the Digital World and later, the Real World, idk

And the Bad end is everyone dies, even Ruki XDD. Ok, maybe no but it would be interesting if everyone but Ruki is saved like, Ruki dies saving everyone.

Plus, if we follow Survive formula, we can have the option of the bad end in which Ruki decides saving the world is too much of a pain and goes back home without Renamon, ending in everyone dying anyway :3.

Don't ask me about what kind of enemy they would be fighting because my Royal Knights, Yggdrasil and Olympus XII biases would play a heavy role here so I don't want to think on anything right now, but it would be interesting to be something like in X-evolution in which Digis are killed either by the RK or the X program (but to not go with my biases, we will have to think on something else instead of the RK, Yggdrasil and X antibody).

Maybe we can have the rest of the Tamers cast to join in later in the story so we don't ignore them (ง ื▿ ื)ว

And since I already drew a fakemon evo for Miyuki's Sakuyamon, it would be neat for Ruki to have that one too :D

Ok, this was actually fun to think! Thank you Anon-san uwu

So guys, who or what would you want to see as enemy for Ruki and Renamon? I would also like a little "wink" at IceDevimon returning (and don't tell me that's impossible because Guilmon ate him because I know) but I don't want him to be that final boss.

Now, let me promo my adult Ruki stuff for people who are new or didn't knew I had a separete art blog ;3 (everything is SFW so, don't worry).

This gives me hope that Bandai's not just focusing on Adventure and we're either getting a whole new season or a (hopefully better) version of the crossover from Young Hunters. Which I love Adventure. It's my favorite season. Tai is my blorbo. But I'd rather have one of the above options instead of rebooting Adventure for the third time.

25th Anniversary Celebration visual goes live with details about the events planned.

[hikaboom]

[bestfictionaldinosaur]

Submissions Open!

Please submit any fictional dinosaurs that you want to be considered for the Best Fictional Dinosaur Tournament (alternatively referred to as the saurnament)!

Please submit the name of your FICTIONAL, NON-AVIAN (Triceratops - Troodont) dinosaur, AND the franchise of origin! Additionally, if you submit a non-theropod, I love you.

It would also make my life easier if you checked to see if the character has already been added before asking! (That's a read only list, submissions are done via ask!)

Only 6 characters per franchise will be allowed in the final cut, but don't let that stop you for now! I will be doing the filtering later.

Feel free to submit a picture of the character if you're asking off anon (not required). I will have to select at least one representative picture for each candiate; if nobody suggests any then I will have to look them up myself.

Have fun, and please REBLOG to help spread the word!

For all you fellow rule lovers, the detailed rules are under the cut:

Rule 0 (Dino Denial)

Candidates must be fictional dinosaurs.

All candidates must be fictional entities, created by a specific person or group to serve some fictive purpose. Examples that do count: The T-Rex from Jurassic Park, Blue from Jurassic World, any relevant sports mascots, specific named dinosaurs in documentaries NOT based on an existing named fossil. Examples that don't count: Any general species of dinosaur without citing a specific work, any dubious or contested species of dinosaur such as nanotyrannus, any named actual fossils such as Big Al.

-----------------------

Rule 1 (Di-No a Saur When I See One)

Candidates must be non-avian dinosaurs.

All candidates must either: a) BE an actual non-avian dinosaur, or b) have a design that is PRIMARILY INSPIRED BY one or more non-avian dinosaurs (and from here on out, consider "dinosaur" to effectively mean "non-avian dinosaur). Birds do NOT count for this poll; "dinosaur" here means Triceratops through Troodonts. Additionally, pterosaurs, icthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, mosasaurs, and other similar ancient reptiles do NOT count as they are NOT dinosaurs. (Example 1: Obviously, Aladar from Dinosaur counts, as he is an iguanadon, but Agumon, Godzilla, the Indoraptor, and Bastiodon all count too even though, strictly speaking, none of them are actually existing dinosaurs). (Example 2: Any birds, snakes, lizards, or other ancient reptiles/amphibians/whatever, such as Lapras, Rodan, Bulbasaur, and sea monsters do NOT count, as none of them are primarily based off of non-avian dinosaurs).

-----------------------

Rule 2 (The Digimon Clause)

Only a certain number of candidates will be allowed per franchise; currently set to 9.

In the final lineup there will be no more than a certain number of characters per franchise (probably 9, to be determined based on submission volume!) But don't let this affect submissions! Filtering for this rule will be done afterward.

-----------------------

Rule 3 (The Dragon's Dogma)

Dinosaurs only, no dragons, but dragonlike dinosaurs are probably fine.

Obviously, dragons do NOT count. However draconic characters that are still able to satisfy Rule 1 CAN count, provided that they can be construed as primarily dinosaur in origin. It can be hard to distinguish, but in general, factors that lean a character towards being more draconic than dinosaur include wings, a primarily serpentine body, and legs that stick out to the side rather than directly under the body. (Example: Guilmon is still clearly a dinosaur, so it counts. But by the time it becomes Megidramon, it is clearly more dragon than dinosaur.).

-----------------------

Rule 4 (Dinosauromorpha)

Shapeshifters allowed only if they ONLY become dinosaurs.

Non dinosaur characters that can turn into dinosaurs CAN have one or more of their dinosaur form(s) submitted, IF and ONLY IF their dinosaur form comes from the ability to specifically and ONLY turn into dinosaurs, NOT as the result of a broader power. (Example: Most Dino Squad members, each of whom can turn into one specific dinosaur, COUNT, but Beast Boy, who can turn into any dinosaur, because he can turn into any animal, does NOT count).

-----------------------

Rule 5 (How Did the Triceratops Speed Up His Computer?)

He gave it a good RAM Robotic dinosaurs allowed ONLY if they look primarily like living creatures, not vehicles or anything.

Partially or fully mechanized characters that satisfy Rule 1 DO count, provided that in addition to the criteria of Rule 1, the core form of the character is meant to resemble a living creature, rather than be a tank or vehicle with dinosaur parts. (Example: Grimlock counts, Mechagodzilla counts, Robirdo does not).

[firedragon1321]

I put this tag for a reason. Can't expect a bunch of Rookies to duke it out and survive if I drop in a whole-ass Megidramon.

My Digisona Bad Juju! I LOVED digimon tamers as a kid and always have been my favorite season, being impmon and guilmon were my ALL TIME favorite digimon <3 But impmon will always have a special place in my heart <3

[alphagodith]

happy winter holidays, have some digimon i've never drawn before! these were suggested/requested over on bluesky.

i always hated ludomon to be honest, but that's cuz i'd never seen it without all that ugly armor on! it's actually a cute/cursed little teddy bear thing and i love that for it.

the kudamon here is my own design, i know they normally have a bullet-like casing, not a scroll thingy. i just was inspired by the orignal art and wanted to do it my own way since i was already mixing features from the original and redesign.

baalmon/reapmon is showing a personal headcanon of mine that mixes his prevolution, wizar(d)mon, and evolution, beelze(bu)mon.

guilmon is doing a lizard pose and has a forked tongue because his name always makes me think of a gila monster.
