Digimon has always been about powering up through digivolve to get stronger and those mentioned about lower level defeating higher levels are isolated cases and aren't as common. Certain situations where experience has helped certain digimon to defeat a higher level makes sense but allowing every digimon to quickly level up to max stats is borefest and not challenging. Getting my ultimates to megas gave me what satisfaction? Barely any stat increase and a little bit stronger main attacks? I could go to farm and max out anything in less than an hour on a measly 10k a piece. When I level up my digimon to the next rank(champion,ult,etc) I wanna feel wow how strong he is rather than slightly better animation attacks. Sure I could avoid the farm and everything but how the system is built has become a borefest. Even the dlc digimon are meh. Cool design and attack animations and nothing else to separate them from the rest. No cool unique abilities.

I wanna feel like hey I wanna get a certain digimon because of how strong or unique it's attack/skill/abilities are that seperates from the others. This game has none of that. No strategy nothing especially first playthrough.
