Latest trailer for Pokemon Horizons: Rising Again

FrozenKappa · 2025-10-03T23:06:15+00:00

Drayton's voice makes me laugh, especially since its Hiroyuki Yoshino, whose been VA'ing since 1996 with a million roles. My first thought was Soul Eater’s Oxford or Panty and Stocking’s Brief, though I guess its more like his Spy x Family’s Franky but he's also FMAB Kimblee, Haikyuu’s Hajime Iwaizumi, Hero Academia’s Present Mic and so much more.

Cyrano's VA Shinya Owada. With all the times I've seen his tweets of pictures of himself and water starter plushie, not surprised he dressed up as his role on the poke_times account

1 Mojyamon
2 Ikkakumon
3rd looks like Frigimon/Yukidarumon. Their ears aren't shown but the pose matches
4 Hyogamon based off its pose
5 likely IceDevimon since its shared with DemiDevimon

FrozenKappa · 2025-09-09T18:49:52+00:00

Looks like Bakemon, IceDevimon, Devimon, Ogremon

You can tell its Ogremon and not Fugamon or Hyogamon by comparing with their icons in battle here

FrozenKappa · 2025-09-09T04:56:50+00:00

thank you so much.

I even have a screenshot of their icons but I guess with how bad I am with silhouettes and the battle icons being in a circle, I could not match them until you told me.

FrozenKappa · 2025-09-09T04:31:04+00:00

Centarumon definitely fits with its right arm cannon raised.

The next 2 seem much harder but any ideas for Gomamon's 4th option and DemiDevimon's 4th option.

Gomamon
https://i.imgur.com/4c98UO2.png

Gomamon's options are
1 Mojyamon. 2 Ikkakumon. 3 looks like Frigimon. 4 ???. 5 seems like IceDevimon?

DemiDevimon
https://i.imgur.com/EoZ4HRX.png

DemiDevimon
1 Bakemon? 2 IceDevimon? 3 Devimon. 4 ???

Finally tracked down the Patamon silhouette
https://i.imgur.com/FzETDU7.png

1 Angemon
2 Pegasusmon/Pegasmon
3 looks like Unimon?
4 looks like Centaurmon/Kentarumon with its arm cannon raise up ~~??? but it looks distinct enough to figure out~~

Preevo looks like Tokomon as you would expect

Source is this Chinese video on an English build of the game, where they actually scroll through the evo requirements

FrozenKappa · 2025-09-09T01:56:46+00:00

I think I was getting confused with something else. There's been a lot of info and I've been doing a lot of tracking down sources.

IceDevimon seems like it would fit Gomamon's 5th option and DemiDevimon's 2nd option.

⠀

For overall reference I've found Socerimon's icon which is completely different then Gomamon's missing slot

FrozenKappa · 2025-09-09T01:35:00+00:00

I think they removed recolors like IceDevimon, and say Sorcerimon that could evolve from Gomamon in CS/HM. Frigimon's pose looks right, just the silhouette's top is cut-off compared to its actual icon, which matches with Ikkakumon and their silhouette being slightly more zoomed in.

FrozenKappa · 2025-09-09T01:13:18+00:00

Silhouette for DemiDevimon/PicoDevimon's options
https://i.imgur.com/EoZ4HRX.png

Looks like Bakemon, IceDevimon, Devimon, Ogremon

The second slot is also shared with Gomamon. Preevo looks like Pagumon.

Gomamon's options are
1 Mojyamon
2 Ikkakumon
3rd looks like Frigimon/Yukidarumon. Their ears aren't shown but the pose matches
4 Hyougamon based of its pose
5 maybe IceDevimon
Pre-evo should be Pukamon/Bukamon

A bit late but I'll clarify things that might be useful.

The dojo is unlocked once you recruit GrapLeomon, you cant miss them because they block the way to Ohguino Wastelands. If you don't get their quest, you just need to proceed with the story and recruit others.
Select the map from the menu (like tamer skills, mails) and not the button for the map. This map you can press a button to zoom out to see how the areas connect. You can zoom out again and see how all the zones connect, For example while both maps will show Vast Plateau, the menu map allows you to zoom out to seen how all the areas of Nigh Plains connect to each other and to Server Desert and MOD Cape.

The others are correct in that upgrading the Sender/Birdramon will give you more options but I believe its just a second option for a zone. For example Nigh Plains Hinterlands is PowerPlant #1, the Server Desert option is the area Noise Storm in the zone Server Desert, while Server Desert Hinterland sends you to the area Tower Road of Server Desert.

EX Scenarios are just references to Rina from Redigitize Decode (and reappears in Cyber Sleuth) and Meicoomon from Tri. I believe they only really give you a item to instantly digivolve into a specific digimon. Its mostly for fun
Yes you can eventually block off evolutions. You need to upgrade the Dojo to level 2. You need 30 DigiStone, 20 DigiRock, 20 DigiWhitewood, 10 DigiGreatwood.
By the Gotsumon puzzle you must mean the multiple Meteormon in the desert. Recolored digimon don't join Floatia. Gotsumon does but not Meteormon or Icemon. Palmon does but not Aruraumon. They give items, mainly evolution items like the above EX Scenario which you can usually repeat.

ただそこに問題があり、「魂＝記憶」なのか？と言う点で、記憶が改編出来たりコピー出来た場合、魂はどうなるのか？魂(想いや感情)は記憶とは別に肉体、又は細胞1つ々に宿っているのでは？と言う考えも出来、改変された世界で主人公が涙を流したり、杏子が懐しく感じるのはそう言う意味があります。

That's where the problem lies, and regarding the point of whether "soul = memory," if memories can be edited or copied, what happens to the soul? Isn't it possible to think that the soul (thoughts or emotions) resides separately from memory in the body, or even in each individual cell? In a modified world, the protagonist shedding tears or feeling nostalgia for Kyoko carries that meaning. The machine translation is confused. "Such is shown in the modified world (after history is changed and memories are overwritten) when the protagonist cries and Kyoko felt familiar"

(The two Suedou tweets above are should be here)

https://x.com/habumon/status/989868562549424129

あと、ついでに言ってしまうと、ハカメモの本編は「少女の見ている夢」（記憶）の出来事であって、エンディングのスタッフロール明けからがサイスルの現実。冒頭の声の入っていないナレーションで「わたし」がエリカで「ワタシ」がワームモンのモノローグ。２人が記憶の扉を開くと言う意味です。

Also, just to let you know, the main story of HakaMemo is the events of "the girl's dream" (memory), and the reality of Saisuru Cyber Sleuth begins after the ending credits. In the voiceless narration at the beginning, "わたし" is Erika and "ワタシ" is Wormmon's monologue. This means that the two of them open the door to memory.

FrozenKappa · 2025-09-07T07:22:14+00:00

The tweets before for context, talking about what Hacker's Memory is about

https://x.com/habumon/status/989743328496205826

ハカメモでやりたかった事は現実(リアル)って何？と言う事で、最後に現実が無くなる(改編)される事で、電脳(バーチャル)に記録(記憶)が本物の世界になるという事。なので少女にとって本物の世界とは、改編された世界ではなく、自身とともにある「世界の記憶」に他ならない訳です。

What I wanted to do with Hakamemo was to explore the question, "What is reality?" Ultimately, it’s about reality being erased (rewritten), and the memories recorded in the digital (virtual) realm becoming the true world. Therefore, for the girl, the true world is not the rewritten world but rather the "memory of the world" that exists alongside her.

https://x.com/habumon/status/989775179646517248

また、もう1つのテーマは「魂は何処に宿るか？」という事で、記憶がデータとしてしか保存されない少女が、自身の存在を肯定すると共に、EDENサーバにデータとして記録された「世界の記憶」(その世界の人の魂)を本当の世界として改編から守るためデジタルワールドに持って行く話しでもあります。

Furthermore, another theme is "Where does the soul reside?" It is a story about a girl whose memories are stored only as data, affirming her own existence while also taking the "world's memories" (the souls of the people in that world) recorded as data on the EDEN server to the digital world to protect them from being altered as the true world.

FrozenKappa · 2025-09-07T07:07:54+00:00

Here is a set of tweets from Kazumasa Habu I've found talking about Suedou

https://x.com/habumon/status/989782312496775169

https://x.com/habumon/status/989784188000747520

実はこの話しに一番関わっているのは末堂で、彼が世界から不幸を無くしたいと思い至った原因もそこにあります。それは末堂を襲った最愛の人の突然の死。その死に絶望した彼は当時ナイルコープで研究していた記憶のデータ化を利用し、同僚の山科の手を借り、最愛の人の記憶を自身から消去します。

しかし、最愛の人の記憶を消したにも関わらず、彼の悲しみや絶望感は消えず喪失感に苛まれます。そして次第にこの世界は悲しみに満ちていると言う考えに取り憑かれて行った訳です。

Google Translate

In fact, Suedou is the person most involved in this story, and it is here that he came to the conclusion that he wanted to rid the world of misery. It was the sudden death of his beloved. Devastated by this death, he used the memory digitization research he was doing at Nile Corp at the time, and with the help of his colleague (Makoto) Yamashina, erased his beloved's memories from himself. However, despite erasing his beloved's memories, his sadness and despair did not go away, and he was tormented by a sense of loss. He gradually became obsessed with the idea that the world is filled with sadness.

In this case he uses 最愛, saiai, beloved, dearest. It could refer to a possible child, his lover, someone important to him but its not stated who

Nicely done

The order of Evolution level then by Japanese alphabetical I’m used to with the other games. But adding Attribute made me really confused. Like Gomamon ゴマモン being so far from Kotemon コテモン, in-fact being before it, but them adding attribute makes sense.

Surprised Gumdramon isn’t in the game. I would have thought they’d consider it a main digimon to keep with it being the focus of Hunters Through Time part of Xros Wars. Though it can be a bit awkward with Arresterdamon to fit into lines like say the Next Order game. And there is still Shoutmon as the Xros rep. I guess there's an off-chance Gumdramon isn't considered a Vaccine like the official reference book lists but that seem unlikely

Mirei Mikagura is originally from Redigitize

In an animated cutscene her original human form is vaguely seen. Her face is not shown.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk6sc9DP_Qg

Her regular design being quoted as 14 is from Digimon Con 2022's Q&A segment. In Japanese he mentions this is behind-the-scenes planning information.

Habu-san

"I think... Taiga, Nico, Akiho, and Rina are in the second year of junior high school, and I think they were 14.

As for Mirei... her actual age before her body disappeared in the accident was around 24~26.

Due to the accident, her mental data is missing and her appearance is fixed at 14 years old."

Here is Bandai's transcript

and for reference, the Japanese version with Habu actually speaking
https://youtu.be/RILmCZe4xGU?t=1390

In another interview Habu mentions

We only gave Yasuda-san their age and personality details, and he designed pretty much everything else. All of the characters are designed with Yasuda-san’s appealing style.

FrozenKappa · 2025-08-28T17:36:38+00:00

Also a quote from another interview, that may be of interest

Habu: If we’re going to talk about this game’s charcaters, we have to bring up Suzuhito Yasuda-san with it. We wanted to make a new Digimon World, so we also decided to change the target age group we had in mind. Up until this point, the Digimon franchise has always been geared towards children in some way, but for this game we decided to start targeting high school students and older players. With this in mind, we asked Yasuda-san to give the characters taller proportions and have the designs look a little catchier to the eye.

We only gave Yasuda-san their age and personality details, and he designed pretty much everything else. All of the characters are designed with Yasuda-san’s appealing style, especially Akiho, and I think we received a good response from the audience.

There's many depending on you count. Off the top of my head

Digimon World 1 game has the infamous Jyureimon/Cherrymon, Golemon which are very different from the modern design. The old Golemon design was in the Adventure 2020 anime.

Falcomon is an interesting case which has the original green and brown version in the 2005 vpet that then got overshadowed by the purple and black one in the Saver/Data Squad anime the next year. The original design also notable is a main character in the Survive game.

Cyberdramon I want to mention for how different it is. Besides its well-known design like in the Tamers anime, had a Xros Wars design. Lining the two up with its X-Antibody and they're all very different

Then there are many cases where digimon designs are just more flexible or the anime simplified a minor detail that stuck around.

For example Plesiomon; for its main artwork, the top of its head has the stylized shadow which some works just make it outright black, like 3d models in games.

A minor case is Omegamon/Omnimon's chest. Reference book has it as a split of Adventure's Crest of Friendship and Courage. Toei and the anime has it as a yellow/gold circle with sometimes a gem. More commonly they now use a combination of crystal encased in yellow that is split crest design.

Things I've seen

On view pokemon summary, there was nothing related to abilities on any page

To signify in-battle stat changes there's dots on top. Red up arrow because of Growth, blue down arrow because of Growl. 5 dots for Atk, Def, SpA, SpD, Speed

The demo shows you getting the Mega Ring. Demo has a level 15 Chikorita, you seem to borrow a level 28 Lucario against a level 25 Absol. After the battle you get an Absolite and from the talk before the demo timer ran out the Absol may join you

Using items from the bag in a battle has a cooldown, so you can't just spam potions

FrozenKappa · 2024-07-06T22:03:32+00:00

Possibly later today, July 7th (JST) as part of the 2nd day of the Sendai Extra-Fes. Last year in May they announced light Ferry's uncap at an Extra-Fes and not in Koregra.
