STOP

[apples-of-apples]

No, go ahead. talk about digimon games. I need more research 👁👄👁

*Heavy breathing* Someone asked about digimon...

*AHEM*

anyway, I'll tell you about the ds games! yes the world games and ds games are separate even through two of the games are known as digimon world ds (dawn/dusk) I'll explain.

The digimon ds games are a bit confusing for new players as the English translation made them be named after the digimon world franchise instead of existing as their own thing, but the original name they carry are the Digimon Story games! Story because they are the jrpg part of digimon lol

There are also a few universal mechanics like farm islands, devolution + evolution, SPECIES EXP, etc. the game will teach you about these, but feel free to ask about them!

-----

DIGIMON STORY (digimon world ds)

Pros:

Game is pretty short for a Jrpg!

Digimon selection isn't too shabby with there being many classic ones in the bunch, So there's a lot of variety!

Post games quests are really fun!

Digimon can enter the farm and give quests (I like how it gives the digimon some personality without needing to be full characters all right)

Cons:

This game is extremely easy. Until that boss.

Like this game is so easy that it almost leaps into mind-numbing

The mind-numbing comes from the grind being really bad...

Some of the best designed and most iconic digimon are locked behind online battles, you might see why this is a problem.

maps are mazes. this is not good. (They aren't hard, but they can be a bit confusing)

----

A quick summary for this game is that it's definitely made with the idea that kids are going to want to try and get every digimon and that they'll spend A LOT of time grinding for that. Otherwise this game is actually pretty fun!

-----

DIGIMON STORY SUNBURST AND MOONLIGHT (digimon world dawn and dusk)

Pros:

Game is a bit harder than the original digimon story!

Almost the same amount of digimon as the original digimon story!

Cool fusion digimon are no longer locked behind online battles!!!

extremely quick if you use the resources at your disposal! I've beaten it in like 18~ hours.

Cons:

Grind is much, much worse (It can become much easier, but it requires planning)

Cool fusion digimon are locked behind post game quest that is the second to last fight in the game :/

Side quests are mandatory throughout the story(Not a personal problem, but a warning)

You cannot get 100% in one game, because these games have ✨Version exclusives✨ plus optional side-quests are locked behind certain digimon, with certain personalities, with certain farm islands, and ✨✨multiple✨✨ ✨version exclusives also have quests✨

Maps are ripped from the original digimon story! with some changes!

Final post game quest needs to be unlocked through cheats because it was locked behind online battles as well...

----

Quick summary! I literally love these games, it's Stockholm syndrome 💖💖💖. also despite the negatives these games aren't that bad! just a bit boring sometimes! Planning is a bit more important in this game as a lot of things depend on how much mechanics you can figure out... honestly I'd say to give it a try! Btw here's a digivolution guide for the game! you can thank me later lol

----

DIGIMON STORY LOST EVOLUTION (No official translation)

Pros:

best ds game by far!

More digimon than ever with a built in evolution tree checker to plan out parties much easier!

less grind due to the game giving out more experience per battle, and a longer overall playtime so levels will not suddenly jump for any bosses!

a decent story with fun locations!

optional bosses throughout the game that reference other digimon media!

a reason to grind past levels! (tree of evolution plates, with expand if you want!)

side quests now have a list to see what digimon you need! and actually good rewards for completing them!

NO MORE LOCKED FUSION DIGIMON!!!!

Farms are finally helpful! They give plenty of exp once you unlock the upgrdaes for them!

Cons:

mandatory quests are still here!

you might need to look for a guide to see what digimon have what evolution plates for your personal team!

Ancient beasts and sovereigns are basically post-game digimon...

Post game quest is locked behind 100,000 tamer points... (for reference main game is completed with only 50,000 points necessary)

there is another That boss you will need to grind for.

Only official translation is an English translation made by fans :/ (game isn't hard to follow without a translation, plus there are Eng guides with digimon evolution info sooooo it's more a personal preference :p)

Has pokemon HM system but the digimon have traits that allow them to do specific things on the map... (you get three digimon with traits to help progress, but you do not need to stick with them, just keep this system in mind.)

30 digimon limit :(

-----

Quick summary! This is unironically one of my favorite games ever! It's game play improves greatly from dawn and dusk, and are very easy to get into without much knowledge of anything! There are a few problems outside of nitpicks, but if you choose one game to play out of all of these, I would 100% recommend this one!

Soooo when I'm spriting, I use existing pokemon mystery dungeon sprites as a base. As in- I kind of have to if I want things to line up. It's for placement purposes mostly.

Just saying that because there's something I want to show off.

If I don't feel like doing the rest of the sprites at a moment, (which is often because there's a lot of sprites and my motivation levels fluctuate like crazy) I'll have a recolored version of whatever I'm using as the base because of the color limit on sprites.

I don't normally like to show these but Something about Venonat in this color brings me great joy

Annnd those things that aren't Venonat are Chicchimon sprites from digimon world dusk and dawn/digimon story sunburst and moonlight.

I love the sprites from that series. I can draw my own digimon sprites if I want to, and I will for digimon that weren't in the digimon story series, but I want to use these because of nostalgia.

One digimon I'll be drawing my own sprites of is Valvemon. what a cute creature Valvemon is. I kind of wish it was in the digimon story games just so I could have used one in a playthrough. But I'll be making sprites for one so I can play as it in pokemon mystery dungeon.

Someone might accuse me of taking a shortcut for the digimon from those games that I'm putting the sprites of in my rom hack, but this is purely from the euphoric feelings of nostalgia I get from them. I'm addicted to nostalgic feelings.

I have so many copies that I have collected over the years of various games of the digimon story series because I love them that much (can't imagine how many times I have re-played them and even have the maps memorized) but by now they're old and freezy :(

[nachiroux]

the digimon story: sunburst/moonlight canonical protagonist comparison is so fucking funny to me

here's sunburst's canonical protagonist, Koh, next to moonlight's canonical protagonist, Sayo

one of these became an instant fan favorite that kept reappearing in other games alongside her signature new digimon. the other is the twelfth result for Generic Monster Game Protagonist on google
