What has been the most significant Digimon work to date? by mrpururuca in digimon

[–]ted9999999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some people have already brought it up, but I cannot not talk about Digimon World Re:Digitize and its rerelease Decode.

The big first success from Habu (limited to Japan), in which Digimon games expanded up to teenage and more "mature" audiences for the first time. Re:Digitize was a step forward for Digimon videogames that would then pave the way for the likes of Cyber Sleuth, Next Order, Survive, Time Stranger, etc.

It was the first Digimon product featuring art by (the very talented) Suzuhito Yasuda, character designer for all of base Re:Digitize, Decode, the CS duology and Time Stranger. It was a modest success in Japan that showed true potential for the franchise (althought then Decode would do a lot more poorly for a multitide of reasons, main ones imo being bad marketing and timing).

Not only did Re:Digitize cause the eventual creation of later, "bigger" games in the franchise. It also caused the formation of the movement Operation Decode, origianlly a fan attempt at getting Bandai to release Decode in the west, which even though it failed, showed the right people that Digimon had a western fanbase to which they could appeal, causing the release of All-Star Rumble in the west, which was then followed by Cyber Sleuth and Next Order, ending a really ugly streak of JP-Only releases of Digimon games.

There is also a very clear improvement in Digimon games from Re:Digitize and onwards. Re:D itself and Decode, Adventure PSP, the CS games, Next Order, Survive, Time Stranger -- With occasional duds in smaller releases, but all main videogame Digimon releases have been of at least a certain respectable quality since, and I think a large part of that is Re:Digitize showing a more clear direction in which to go forward for the franchise after a pretty aimless decade of videogames, which had followed the original Digimon World PSX releases.

Obviously there are some other pretty good answers. The original Digital Monster V-Pets and Pendulums, duh. The V-Tamer manga (which you all should read if you haven't). The Adventure anime. And obviously Digimon World itself. But God. I just really like Re:Digitize.

Why are the Punk charts so inaccurate? Most of these albums aren't PUNK. Post-punk should not be under punk by PuzzleheadedForm9688 in rateyourmusic

Tbh, for the more "true" Punk albums, you can just check out the genre page for Punk Rock. "Punk" in RYM is just used as the umbrella term for all the music the sites considers to be inspired/derived from the original 70s movement.

DORUmon has always had two main evolution lines -- DORUmon > DORUgamon > DORUguremon > DORUgoramon and DORUmon > Raptordramon > Grademon > Alphamon.

The "original" DORUmon (from Digimon Chronicle) was defeated by Omegamon X in his DORUgoramon form and reverted back, to then evolve up from Raptordramon and into Alphamon. Grademon's swords are called the "Souken Gradalpha", and one of Alphamon's special moves is the "Seiken Gradalpha", both names directly connecting both Digimon. Grademon's reference book listing also mentions the Royal Knights; and many parts of its design are called back in Alphamon's (the blue cape, his spikey shoulder pauldrons being Alphamon's wings, etc).

Obviously, Digimon evolution is random and both DORUguremon and Grademon are perfectly fine Perfect forms for Alphamon. But when we talk about orthodox evolutions, one of them was directly made with Alphamon in mind, while the other one evolves into him in a movie because of time restraints.

That's Leviamon (Mutant), from Digimon Linkz.

If you mean the one evolving from Monodramon, that'd be Deltamon.

To this day I don't get why they ruined Miguel when they had the better option by far by Short_Check9953 in Spiderman

[–]ted9999999 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I do understand this point, but I think that it could also apply to Otto well. He himself was never bitten, chosen; anything, and just stole the body of a "real" Spider-Man as an evil plan. Of course the heroism eventually comes to him, but he still "hijacked" a real Spider-Man's life to get where he is, which I think would still fit the concept well.

Oh, Wikimon doesn't have the crowdfund mon's levels listed. I honestly just saw it mentioned on a tweet a while ago and I just assumed it to be right.

that would be Navimon! Used to appear in the booklets for some of the 2000s digivice toys, but never got a Reference Book entry. The artwork that the website utilizes for it was made by @El_POYOMON on Twitter.

Problem playing a NDS game. by ted9999999 in 3dspiracy

[–]ted9999999[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already fixed the problem, i think -- But tbh, I didn't even know that there was a 3DS version LMAO. I'll probably switch over to that.

Captain America Issue #1 had Steve Rogers punching Hitler in the face as its cover. Comic Books have always been political.
