Tamers is love love tenkyouken.

[Shu]

Did they announce an English port of the game?

[DreamsRequiem]

nope.

[KENTA]

Wake me when they make a Tamers game for PSP, I'd play the shit out of it.

GOTTA GET CARDS!

I actually was considering doing an LP (not on BL though) but I guess my main obstacle was that I wasn't sure how to pace it and balance the Digimon life cycles with the storyline. Like whether I should focus on raising a bunch of different digimon to mega level, or on advancing the plot.

(Gonna try that USB charging thing when I can, it may have lost its last bit of charge by now though)

maybe make a poll/vote on wherever you were gonna do the LP? I personally would probably plan out 1-6 digimon that i'd want to be mega level, make a flow chart of their availability in game, and then finally start the LP, focusing mainly on plot advancement, but making sure to pick up the digimon you wanted. shoot for Examon all day? Mega Man HiAndromon would be a nice goal, too. >>;

No, what she should do is powergame the entire freaking system. Plot? Who cares about that, you have a full line up of Royal Knights and gods.

[MZeroX]

But completing the plot in Re:Tittitize means you get to extra content that involves Adventure 01 characters! (or was that multiplayer? either way...) people be nostalgia-fagging hard itt, so getting to those bonus scenes is relevant to popular interest!

The RPG site got updated, and it crashed my hopes of seeing the Ultimate forms of the other Chosen Children. The character profiles now show the partner's evolution line and it ends on Perfect in everyone else but Taichi and Yamato. So much for hoping... I know that it is based on the original series, but at least some small changes aside from that partnership thingie would be good.

That's why I like Tamers and Savers for giving equal evolution levels (sorta, the protagonist almost always has a special power) to all relevant characters (Hirokazu, Kenta, Shiuchon, Juri, Miki and Megumi be damned but they're not main character material).

Wargreymon is the only mega I will ever need in 01

But really, patamon and gatomin should at least go up to seraphimon/magnadramon, i mean they did in the movie.

[celsius]

Hurrican Touchdown is non-canon.

Besides, the only reason Agumon and Gabumon can evolve up to their Ultimate ranks is 'cause of Angemon and Angewoman's deus ex machinarrows. The others don't have a convenient power-up prophecy.

Good gods, Digimon. The thing that got me into fanfiction. The thing that got me into writing (shitty) fanfiction. The tears, they won't stop. I love Digimon SO MUCH. I'll probably write subpar Digimon fanfics until the day I die.

Adventure was simple, and that's why it's perfect and the season all other Digimon settings are compared to. 02...had issues. The "new generation" idea was good, but Daisuke and the others simply could not hope to match the first season's strongly developed Chosen, specially if the new leader is basically a poor man's Taichi. Tamers will forever remain awesome in its uniqueness, and Frontier will be remembered as the season that introduced the world to Lucemon. Savers was a return to the things that originally made Digimon amazing, with a slightly older cast of characters. I couldn't grow to like Xros Wars; most DigiXrossed Digimon looked utterly retarded, the disappearance of evolution stages broke suspension of disbelief more times than I can hope to remember and the character development does not begin to compare to what earlier seasons did. I think the only thing I liked was that, indeed, the plot never stopped moving, simplistic as the plot itself may be. However, the Xros Wars manga is AMAZING (Wizarmon why you so badass!?), and the most successful attempt at connecting all anime seasons into a coherent grand Digimon setting, IMHO. Then again, the hilarious amounts of Nene fanservice might bother some people.

Never watched Young Hunters. Tagiru pissed me off.

Oh come on Dan your fics weren't that ba- pffffftt ahahahaha, okay I'm sorry they really were but at least take solace to the fact that you were able to entertain a lot of people, because really, your fics were fairly popular. You're still my favorite Digimon writer! You know, right next to crazyeight....and a few, other writers.

i wasnt aware the manga had badass Wizardmon. might just try reading it then, who scnalated it? and is there a torrent around?

also, ive always been a huge Digimon fan. i loved season 1 and 3 especially. when i was a kid, researching the origins of the Digimon and their names was what got me into Mythology, History and, to an extent, science; an interest which continued to grow. it would be no exaggeration to say that Digimon was amajor element of what formed the person i now am.

Good, now go to write Ruins of Babylon! I'm dying to see what will happen.

shit's baws, but no real scanslations aside from chapter one. there are raws and text translations available for ddl off of xros-raws' site, but (s?)he doesn't want any other uploads using his material, or he'll take his stuff down. Also, Kotone is the superior younger Amane. Raptor is all you need to say.

Oh yeah, Taiki is even more badass in the manga.

And the PSP game is out now, for a few days actually. I stumbled on a torrent of it by accident but I'm almost sure it is fake, considering that the file is only 400MB.

And... HOLY FUCKING SHIT! THE SITE NOW SHOWS CANON ULTIMATE EVOLUTIONS FOR THE SORA, MIMI, KOUSHIROU AND JOU! This means that, yes, THEY CAN EVOLVE TO ULTIMATE! The evolutions in question:

Piyomon -> Hououmon
Palmon -> Rosemon
Tentomon -> HeraklesKabuterimon
Gomamon -> Vikemon

[Laith]

Boss battle theme is Brave Heart, watching the opening again hit me with all the nostalgia I can muster and I can't unhear things in the latin american dub.

Game is awesome.

[Gabriulio]

BRAVE HEART IS THE BOSS BATTLE THEME?!
