Just some thoughts

It's weirdly ironic how Pokémon fans often complain about every game being the same, games being too easy, or too soft and for babies—

And sometimes it feels like, Digimon has everything they're asking for?

Almost no game is like the other, the games can be difficult becuase they don't treat you like a kid that needs everything spelled out for you, the themes can be darker etc.

In my opinion, the biggest problems Digimon games have is the Translations usually, second is that many times a large part of the difficulty is made of grinding and back tracking.

But honestly that's also how I tend to play Pokémon games too? I fill my Pokédex as I go through the game, I don't move on until I caught most if not all Pokémon on a route. Most games I collect a "living dex". I also tend to have teams of up to 20 Pokémon in rotation cause I just love them all.

More than half digimon games I've played, I played in japanese, so not even first or second language, and although sometimes the mechanics seem convoluted on paper, I don't remember many, if any, instances of the game not telling me or giving me the pieces to figure out what to do.

I feel like many people just aren't used to games not coddling them and interpret it as the games being ridiculous and "how was I supposed to know that"

I'm not above blaming myself being stupid before I blame the game.

Obligatory I AM a Pokémon fan note, I play all the games, multiple times usually, I spend months of my own time on the team translating fan mod Pokémon Luminescent Platinum into my first language, german, i throw no hate at Pokémon

You ever look at a Pokémon's catch rate and think... Who do you think you are?

The word "Jogress" (sometimes spelled in English as "Jogres") is a portmanteau of the English words "joint" 「ジョイント」　and "progress" 「プログレス」," as in the two Digimon who undergo this evolution can be described as getting stronger (progressing) together (jointly).

— wikimon.net Evolution page entry on Jogress [ https://wikimon.net/Evolution#Evolving_by_Combining ]

For Digimon related research, I recommend wikimon.net as a starting point!

For simple japanese dictionary searches I recommend jisho.org

Google Translate is quite unreliable and basically useless if you don't search japanese terms in japanese writing systems due to many same sounding words.

The "woman" in that google translation is the result of jo being a possible reading for 女 woman in compound nouns. But the same goes for 助 help, rescue, assistance (that is the "suke" in Josuke for any Jojo fans here), 序 order, 恕 compassion, 除 division, 𥝱 10²⁴, ... and more.

On top of that, japanese is a very context dependent language, so it's very hard to translate if you aren't familiar with it.

Sorry for the nerd mode, I studied japanology and couldn't stop myself

So, I'm watching the Japanese version of Digimon Adventure 02 and the episode where Ken and Daisuke jogress for the first time, and I want to know what jogress means so I run it in Google translate and.

I regret my decision.

Just don’t put jogress with only one s

tired doms resting their head on your back, sleepy doms mindlessly rubbing their palms over your shoulders, silly doms that boop your nose with their nose, softie doms staring and smiling at you when you finally look over, cuddly doms that want to be as physically close as possible, hungry doms thanking you profusely for the meals you make them, soft doms doing all of the above

Reposting of Stolen Art in the Digimon Community

Idk, I wanna draw attention to this. But I don't really know what to say. I've made multiple posts about individual issues before. I just feel like I have to use the platform I have to spread awareness.

Please, before liking and reblogging art, take a moment to check if the artwork has been stolen.

Me and others often try to link the original art in the comments as soon as we come across it.

If someone is a confirmed thief, mass reposting for notes, block them.

Stolen art gets hundreds of notes despite people pointing out it's stolen.

It just breaks my heart to see artists pour their love into artworks for this Fandom, only for it to be stolen and spread without credit.

About a year ago, I called out another user for stealing countless artworks. I went through their entire backlog and looked up every original artist.

I contacted them to tell them to at least give proper credit. They added all my researched sources to their posts, but...

They went back to repost uncredited art again, not much later.

[Left: @/ rastadog77 on twitter | right: @/danzilla on dA]

And this user is not the only one. And they have zero shame.

This user stole artwork the artist entered the Digimon Illustration Competition with. This artist, by the way, is an official artist of the One Piece TCG and more.

This thief had the gall to steal another Illustration Competition's Winning Artwork!

This is just insulting.
