[Image ID: An inked digital drawing of Digimon character Amphimon. Amphimon is a cyborg humanoid wearing an altered diving suit, they have large chunky gauntlets and boots, lightning bolt embellishments across their design but most notably on a buckle at their waist, on the bottom of their chest armour and on their diving helmet window. They have diving helmet style shoulder pads, a large jellyfish like skirt connected to the buckle made up of two layers- a puffier top layer with jellyfish markings on it and a longer flow-ier bottom layer- and large circular pads at their hands, feet and knees. The ones on their knees and hands have a cross symbol on them and the ones on their feet have a minus symbol. They have large jellyfish antenna coming from their diving helmet and the exposed parts of their body- such as their forearms, waist and at the inner upper thighs- appears made of straps. They’re in a front facing action pose, with their right leg and arm pointed down whilst their left leg is raised the calf slightly tucked in, and their left arm is raised over their head. /End Image ID]

I haven’t seen all of ghost game yet but Amphimon is by far my favourite new digimon from it

Random thing I just thought about and have seen no one talk about:

I know everyone calls Digimon a Pokemon rip-off, and I understand why, but I think a lot of people completely misunderstand or just don’t know about how drastically different both the mechanics and tone of these two medias are.

I grew up watching both the Pokémon and Digimon animes, and let me tell you that these are two completely different shows.

I bring up the animes because, while Digimon DOES have games, they don’t seem to be the main focus, the tv shows were the real money makers and thus I think it’s more fair to compare them on that level.

But listen- you could not just place Pokemon characters into a Digimon anime plot and have it feel right, Digimon’s stories, plots, and worldbuilding are far more serious and dramatic than Pokémon’s is. Instead of collecting 8 badges to win the Pokémon league, main characters in Digimon are getting involved with having to save the world from total destruction, liberate the digital world from a dictator, or any other number of far more high-stakes scenarios than any Pokémon show or movie.

This is not me trying to say that one show is better than the other or that Digimon is better than Pokémon. Not the idea here. What I’m saying is that trying to swap the cast of these two series would feel less fitting than trying to put the Pokémon anime cast into something like Yo-Kai Watch (no shade to Yo-Kai Watch, I like that show too, its tone is just closer to the Pokémon anime than Digimon’s is).

Am I saying that Digimon didn’t piggyback off of Pokémon’s popularity? No, of course it did, I’m just saying that calling it a true rip-off feels wrong when the two series are so drastically different when it comes to tone and mechanics.

I know this was off-topic for my blog, just been thinking.

A Digimon ReArise wip

I'm not sure if I'm ever going to finish this unfortunately

Reading the notes from Professor Agumon/Agumon Expert again:

"Armors" are the evolved forms of Digimon that use the power of the "Digimentals"; evolving through the use of Digimentals is called "Armor Evolution". Using a Digimental allows a Digimon to evolve without much hassle. There are affinities between Digimon and Digimentals, and if one uses a Digimental forcibly, then its power will be adversely affected and run wild, but if compatible, the power of the subsequent Armor evolution can jump up to Ultimate-class on occasion.

Yeah i was right about the part of it being about compatibility and not what the entire fanbase (me included) used to think it was.

We all have been doing this wrongly. So, we should just make some incompatible Armor mons more often, right? ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

Does Gallantmon like to come up with endearing nicknames for Beelzemon? (Beelzy, Beelz, Bezel, Beez, BB, etc.)

Neither of them use nicknames for each other, but Beelzemon does call his bike his "baby". :3

YAY the boys are here!! preordered these back around my birthday last yr and they finally showed :) this is my first time with a colour and theyre so cool so far- feel great in the hand and its weird seeing such a crisp bright screen on an old style pet, haha

gonna start with just raising my nature spirits on a pure vibe-based approach and then when i've got a handle on things I can start playing the other two and hunting down specific mons :)

[digitaldavis]

Gonna preface this by saying it's for the @digimon02countdown but it doesn't necessarily need to be reblogged or anything 'cause it's not super in-depth or insightful or anything like that and, technically, this isn’t my favorite scene or line or even theme in the show (I'm not sure what that would even be); it’s a throw-away line in the dub that happens at the very end of the episode Storm of Friendship where Davis gets his second Digi-Egg:

It’s a short dialogue exchange that goes like this:

Davis: ”Hey, did you see that? I got a noogie! That means I'm one of the guys now!"

DemiVeemon: ”I have a question: if you're one of the guys now, does that mean you used to be one of the girls and how come you never told me about it? I wish you humans would just make up your minds!”

Davis: “Oh yeah, then how’s this for friendship?” *shakes DemiVeemon*

Basically, if you couldn't guess, this was the beginning of my trans!Davis headcanons and it’s really very personal to me - my fixation on it having stemmed from my own desire to have been born male as I was a tiny AFAB child of maybe ten at the time the episode aired, at a point in my life when it had recently been made very clear to me by the authority figures in my life that behaving like a boy was completely unacceptable to them.

I know the line is just meant to be silly but, honestly, I latched onto it like a life-line and for years and years while I was living as a girl, every time I thought about Digimon Adventure 02 I’d think back to that line and the possibility that my favorite character was AFAB at some point and it was always very comforting to me.

It’s just a projection of my own feelings, really, because it’s obviously not canon-canon, but I received such a strong negative reaction in my own life to the idea of being a boy that I definitely took DemiVeemon’s very innocent question far too seriously as a child and have been on the trans!boy Davis train ever since.

In the episode Davis’ shakes DemiVeemon a bunch in response to what DemiVeemon says while everyone laughs it off and you’re supposed to be like “oh haha silly little Digimon” but all I thought watching it for the first time as a little kid was a jumbled mess of:

Davis didn’t deny that he was born a girl and what if he was like me and had had secret thoughts about being a boy for years before becoming one?

DemiVeemon just seemed more hurt that Davis didn’t trust him enough to tell him about it than upset at the idea itself because they were friends and friends accepted each other and,

None of the other kids in the room - even the older kids - were angry or upset by the idea. It was like they thought that becoming a boy was a thing that could happen and was normal and-

-it just kind of spiraled out of control from that moment on, really.

I wish I had some bigger deeper analysis of the show to back up my love of trans!Davis headcanons but I don't. That's all there is to it, really, but it’s part of what made Digimon Adventure 02 really important to me initially when I was growing up and I think about it constantly as it lives rent free in my head.

It's also the basis for this blog and why I chose Davis as my first name when I came out as trans (also it just sounds nice with my last name), so, yeah, thanks wacky Digimon 02 dub on behalf of tiny impressionable me and my fellow trans!Davis enjoyers everywhere~

Oh, and speaking of enjoying things:

I hope everyone has a really great time watching the new Digimon 02 film~
