THIS is a Digimon in 2026 AD.
>>735927043thanks doc
Gekkomon's evos just keep getting worse and worse.
>>735927372
I don't get what they were thinking with this one. It's like a parody someone who doesn't like digimon would make.
>>735927043HELL YEAH
>>735928441>thinking with this one.robot dinosaur like what almost all the other mcs have
>>735927043>dinosaurs with tech shitwhat's the officer, problem?
>>735929651it makes the previous evo feel disconnected from the line.
>>735928441It looks exactly like a digimon though.
>>735927043I'm somewhere between >lol how goofyand >fuck yeah
>>735929687do you know where you are?
>>735929687yeah because that's never happen in digimon before
>>735929687Armalizamon already had tech-looking armor and attacks, if they had kept the color scheme it wouldn't really change much at all
He's cooler
>>735930367needs belts
>>735929696It looks like what someone who forgot what Metalgreymon looked like tried to draw him from memory. Or if someone described Metalgreymon but skipped out on several details and a different person drew that.It's this weird thing I look at it and just see Metalgrey, even though it's so different. Unless there's some meta reason for the resemblance, like how those Liberator Impmon evos look like guilmons, I'm just going to see it as lazy.
>>735927043What does digimon need to be as popular as pokemon
>>735930367>draw an adult>call it a perfect
>>735930512>t. autism
>>735930590Coherency. There is nothing coherent about digimon. Even if Digimon came to the west first it wouldn't have stuck around because it's a fucking incoherent mess with no uniformity and seemingly random ass rules to people who havent been following the franchise. When you get down to it the series is definitely a bit more coherent than it seems, but I. The outside looking in its just a mess.Pokemon was able to still be about as relevant today as it was 30 years ago because there was a a simplicity that even people detached from the franchise could understand
>>735927043This is just your average Digimon.
>>735927043>dinosaur with metal armor and weaponsHow is this any different than old Digimon?
>>735930856Autistic people are just able to notice and say what many people feel.
>>735930590its probably too late and I dont think it should try to but It needs to focus its brandingwhat is a digimon? decide and stick with that dont change it every season and in every piece of media It needs consistency, have a clear main line game series whether that world, story or some other 3rd thing. make lines consistent, dont have betamon digivolve from koromon in one game and not in another. add some feature thats good for community growth like multiplayer thats decently fun. a lot of people just stick with pokemon because other people play it and wanna be apart of the community figure out what all the digimon are and make a "pokedex" where the numbers stay the same between games and other mediamake an anime with really good animation the story doesnt even need to be good just something people can get hype over stop trying to fuck over the card game
>>735930590Completely axe or redesign all the humanoids to be less human. Cut the every line has a billion branching evolutions thing.
>>735929592It looks like it comes from a different evolutulion line though, unlike the others
>>735930980Whatever helps you cope, autismo
>>735931053its a big green lizard, the rookie was a small green lizard
>>735927372>>735927937Lol i get it, it's because they are both green dinosaurs! Very creative meme
>>735931110b-but the adult was a pink and green lizard…
>He didn't post ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wVFTHbMKRM
>>735931453i like that they brought back the wireframe trope for evolution sequences out of nowhere
>>735930367>But i dont want to cure digicancer, i want to evolve mons into hot sluts
>>735927043more like gay mon
>>735927043Garbage.Armalizamon is way cooler than this generic wargreymon wannabe shit.
>>735930590Become a massive multimedia phenomenon at a very precise moment in an entire generation's formation period.
>>735931453This looks like it has a budget. Do I even want to know what the rest of the animation looks like? That dude is cool, though. I love the perpetual middle-schooler and young teen energy of Digimon.>>735931649I also immediately thought of that.
>>735931720I don't dislike it, but Armalizamon really is fucking outstanding.
>>735927937This and Voltron have basically been Digimon's MO since day 1.
>>735931720Metalgreymon*
>>735927043>Dinosaur with high tech weaponsWow, so original... Its not like we've had dozens of similar designs in this franchise already.
>>735927043>moooom can we have metalgreymon??>but dear, we already have metalgreymon at home
>>735927043>metalgreymoon but green
>>735931772It's decently animated overall, better than Adventure: in 2020, and better than just about any Digimon series before that outside of movies or sakuga scenes now that I think about it. Maybe on par with Ghost Game.When the anime was first announced, I wasn't sure I would like it based on the MC design and his Digimon, but they're really one of the better parts of the series. Normally there's a general formula to Digimon, like you'll get a group of characters at the same level, and then they all evolve to the next level in succession, and then it happens again and maybe the two lead characters go farther than everyone else. In this series, the MC gets a Digimon and joins an established group with characters who can mostly already evolve their Digimon, and it takes until the climax of the first arc for the MC to evolve his. The insert song doesn't play for every evolution, only for his "firsts". The world it's been setting up is interesting, and the core cast is small enough to keep everything contained. It's surprisingly competent, I haven't seen any real complaints other than maybe the story was progressing a bit slowly at first.
>>735932063>MetalGreymon but red
>>735927043normalfags love digislop
>>735927043gekkomon had so much potential... and they wasted all of it with another "robot dinosaur" garbage.
>>735932396and it's 100% going to be bipedal for its Ultimate
>>735927043Leaked Gekkomon ultimate
>>735932491Tsukuyomimon...
>>735932323>normalfags love digislop
>>735932491I'm ok with this.
>Hardly gets any screentime because he's hard to draw.man...
>>735930590For Bandai to not be a complete retard, give the franchise the budget it needs and tard wrangle them into delivering without production becoming a trainwreck like Survive or Time Stranger. Other than that, it simply won't be able to catch up to pokemon by virtue of not being first and having a nicher market. The digital pet is inherently nicher than the vidya, and the vidyas.Even if they stuck to their single vidya formula of World 1, that game is absolutely not as welcoming to newfags as pokemon is. If you go blind to World 1, you'll 100% get a Numemon as your first evolution. Retards saying to cut branching lines or mecha/humanoid mons are retards that fail to understand the appeal of the brand.
>>735930590It needs to sell out and make a bunch of plush dolls for fat retards. Unfortunately it chose the path of pure kino.
>>735931746I'm 35. Digimon did become that, just not as effectively. It had the toys, digital devices, a movie releasing in I believe the same year as Pokemon, videogames, a show, t shirts, etc. I'm not complaining. As a kid I liked both. Pokemon just happened to be the winner.
Look at him
>>735933487Digimon struggled where Pokémon succeeded for a similar reason to what that one guy said. Pokémon, regardless of what anyone says, succeeded because it had a formula. It was consistent. It had a core trunk from which everything branched off, and even if it lost out on a ton of promotional synergy when being localized due to the timing of bringing things over (if they were even brought over), the very concept of generations kept things easy to follow. Digimon is a lot of things, but it doesn't have a core trunk in the same way Pokémon does, or at least it didn't for a good amount of time. Like Pokémon, the anime became its face. Unlike Pokémon, the anime changed main characters every year. Digimon was more expensive to get into as a game series, since outside Japan, its games weren't really on handhelds until the GBA when it had already burned out. Digimon also tried reinventing itself multiple times. But Pokémon kept chugging at a certain quality threshold and that kept it going.
>>735930590I agree with >>735930879.Digimon has only recently started to become remotely coherent and consistent with what its gameplay styles are (Story = JRPG monster collector, World = V-pet but you can actually play it). It's also only recently (Around Covid) started to figure out a way to appeal both to Japan and the west with the TCG, V-pets, anime, figures, and games in general.Even with that the entire evolution tree and Digimon essentially being an amorphous blob that can turn from anything into anything is what puts a lot of people off. For every one cute black girl streamer that is willing to give it a shot you get ten who don't like the concept at all because it's so offputting to see something you put time into go from a cute monster into a living mechanical bee into a train. The Story games also don't help that Dedigivolving is a major core mechanic causing you to disassociate from the Digimon on top of it.There's also the fact that it has a generational stigma of being a Pokemon knockoff in people's formative years so many people will not give it a chance because they think it's the equivalent of a Chinese knockoff of Pokemon and don't want to support that regardless if they're completely different things and SMT predates both. For people who don't have that stigma they're still going to ask why you would opt for it over a new Pokemon game.Digimon will always be niche, but it's nice that it's finally at least starting to get a break after years of struggling in the west. Hopefully Medabots can have that happen too.
>>735930590Probably to go back and give them actual distinct names instead of 1000+ things that sound very similar.
>>735930590You cannot be as popular as literally the most popular franchise on the whole planet.
What are the odds of the HeavyMetaldramon line being used in BeatBreak since it's music-themed and would make a good rival to Tomorou and Gekkomon (also since Liberator is getting used a lot)?
>>735935932i'd actually nut if that happened but sadly i dont think it is
>>735930590Wasn't the latest Digimon game surprisingly popular for a short while? That's a good thing, right?
>>735927043BeatBreak has been so fucking good, easily one of my favorites in the series
>>735931772>This looks like it has a budget. Do I even want to know what the rest of the animation looks like?Its pretty damn good at times
>>735937803I just finished the colosseum episode with Raito and goddamn they went all out for that. https://www.sakugabooru.com/post?tags=digimon_beatbreak
>>735927043It's CE.
>>735930367This is probably the only Beatbreak Digimon that I even like desu.
>>735927043I love it
>>735927043Hope it goes full Cyber Samurai in it's next evo
>>735927372data type greymon. Don't steal my idea bannam
>>735927043NuDigimon >>>>>>>>>>> NuPokemon
>>735939026Pokemon has been hollowed out, had its soul sucked out, and is being piloted like a weird corpse. Even its character designs are slowly turning into "corporate safe" art.
>>735938201gay
Looking forward to the TS expansion
Kino
>>735940939if only they would add the new mons to the games
>>735927043Thanks Doug Demuro
>>735940745GYAAT
>>735927937I mean, thats just the Dinorider's toy he was based on right there.
>>735940939Don't forget the vaccine MetalGreymonAnd the vaccine MetalGreymon X-AntibodyAnd the virus MetalGreymon X-AntibodyAnd MetalGreymon: Alterous ModeAnd the Xros Wars MetalGreymonAnd MegaloGrowmonAnd BlackMegaloGrowmonAnd the orange data MegaloGrowmonAnd LoudmonAnd MetalTyranomonAnd MetalTyranomon X-Antibody
I love him
>>735940745She was very distracting
>>735927043I'm conflicted. On one hand I see the vision but on the other hand I was used to previous form's color scheme so going back to mostly green is a bit off putting. That said the jetpack is too sleek and basic. It doesn't have the sauce of rizegreymon's wings or metalgreymon's tattered wings
>>735927043this is a digimon in 2026 AD
I hope that one day people can look at and compare Savers and BeatBreak and realize just how shit Savers was
>>735940939Putting him next to the others makes him look like one of those mobile game ripoff ads.
>>735927043>dinosaur with robot partsSooooo the same as it's always been?
>>735940939Based Trio
>>735941752He cute
>>735942124I think the complaint is more that ArmaLizamon was a bit more unique in its presentation
Nice Evo line so far, hope they stick the landing
>>735927043>>735927937KEK
>>735927372Behold, a digimon!
Episode 21 was really good, Reina was the MVP when she turned into a wheel
>>735942285eh
>>735927043This would be fine if not for the random crescent moon they shoved on his head. Or being an Armalizamon evo.
>>735937291No one bought that overpriced garbage.
>>735937291Yeah Time Stranger did really good, it's getting an expansion next year
BeatBreak is Kino
>>735934624My question is why would people want digimon to be mainstream pokemon popular? Isn't it fine in its niche? Would you want to have digimon infested by normies? Its not like its a dead IP. It does well. It gets games. The games even get localized. What would you fans have to gain by it being more popular than it is? Because the series doesnt have this huge broad mainstream appeal, it can get experimental, and also Bamco CAN be held accountable for fuckups and missteps with the series. I love Pokemon, but the problem it has is that it is too big to fail. Gamefreak doesn't NEED to try to appeal to new blood, and even if they release a batch of shit designs, as long as there are 4-5 marketable standouts it doesnt fucking matter. Especially since they have over 1000 creatures to use and at least one of them will appeal to somebody more often than not. The shit will always sell and it is why they get such embarrassing products. I unironically envy digifags sometimes, because there is at least a tiny bit of accountability within the franchise.
>>735930590It's never stopped being popular while not being dogshit garbage at the same time.It already won.
>>735944307It literally sold one million units on release day and we're getting an expansion pack. LMAO
>>735944951>one million units How much did that shitty looking Pokemon game with glitches out the ass sell again?
>>735946086Who gives a shit about a garbage franchise for pedophiles (pokemon)?
>>735946140a lot of people
>like digimon>find a vast majority of digifags to be insufferable faggots>think pokemon hasnt been good since like gen 5>find a lot of pokefags agreeable outside of the hardcore semen slurping defendersits a tough life...
>>735927372>i fear no man
>>735944920fag
>>735949994Don't forget to preorder wind AND wave, anon-sama <3
>>735944850>My question is why would people want digimon to be mainstream pokemon popular? Isn't it fine in its niche?>What would you fans have to gain by it being more popular than it is? The general idea here is that it would allow them to finally feel comfortable investing actual decent amounts of money into the games instead of seemingly having skeleton crews working on them for years to make a game that looks maybe A at best and like it never got a full polish run from the devs before going gold. It would also allow them to have more artists working on new designs so they don't have to rely on recolors. There's also the fact more developers mean they can do more side games like Survive or Battle Spirits while they do their mainline Story/World game.Time Stranger is pretty much the first time they've felt comfortable spending more than some used chewing gum to develop a game because of the successes of CS and HM, but you can still see it's got the skeleton and lower budget of CS and HM in it even though there are improvements and scope improvements.Another thing is that it would allow Digimon in general to get out of this impression of it being a knockoff that it has been unjustly shackled with. It's super unfair that the devs clearly love the brand and the monsters yet at the same time have to deal with people in the west thinking they're some cheap knockoff. This stigma is at least going away nowadays but it's still present in discussions from time to time, and you still find people having a difficult time getting into the series because of this feeling it's a knockoff.
I still can't tell how is this any different than digimon in 98
>>735930590for starters, you fuckers need to improve your UI/menus>forcing you to leave the farm to check evo requirements and evolve digimon is a fucking pain>the lack of digimon marking and quick party switch sucks. locking helps but it's not the same. you still can't just press 1 button to drop your party at the farm>the inability to use multiple stat-raising items in one go should be a no-brainerand menuing was much worse in previous games (e.g. next order's materials exchanger only lets you trade 1 bundle at a time and the item synthesizer only lets you synthesize one item at a time, survive only lets you apply 1 stat-boosting item at a time, most people who played cyber sleuth can't even remember who was their starter)>>735930879>t. casualshitter who hasn't touched digimon since adventure>seemingly random ass rules to people who havent been following the franchisethe entire point is each entry is self-contained to make every single game a valid jumping-off pointif you start rehashing a fixed formula and adding more stuff on top of it, that's only going to hurt newcomers>there was a a simplicity that even people detached from the franchise could understandI'm pretty sure one of the most frequent criticisms it gets is "rehash rehash rehash" and "creatively bankrupt"
>>735950275>that it would allow them to finally feel comfortable investing actual decent amounts of money into the gamesbut I don't fucking want thatany series that relies on selling a gorillion copies is doomed to die a slow, painful death, turning into bland, tasteless filth to appeal to (((modern audiences))) and stick to (((global sensibilities))). just look at how monster hunter shit the bed with wilds by spitting in fans' facesI'm happy with games like cyber sluts, next order, survive, and time stranger. no need for AAA-tier shit like marvel's spider manhave you seen the shit some morons demand? (e.g. get rid of "those nonsensical branching evolutions". every digimon should get its own exclusive cohesive line! when the point is making digimon adaptable and being able to hop between lines to suit your needs)
>>735927043>>735933507>>735937659>>735940939they picked the worst color palletchange that zooming colors and it's fine
>>735927043This is basically just an alternative RizeGreymon. Single mechanical arm with a ranged weapon, thrusters on its back.
>>735944681It is
>>735950389It's not, I think that's the point.
>>735927043kino
>>735927043I'd like digimon more if they leaned into the dinosaurs and digital shit like the first movie. Idk why they look so humanoid when I see the games lately.
>>735955187they are after the gooner audience thats why
>>735927043I don't get it. It looks like a Digimon from 1999 to me.
>>735932276At least Guilmon is meant to be low quality OC.
Digimon proving time and time again that the only way a franchise can remain true to its root is to remain niche.
it is pretty impressive that digimon has held on this long without having any particularly good games.with how much pokemon shits the bed these days you would think they would do better but i guess just existing is amazing in itself at this point.it is sorta like how Sonic still somehow exists.
>>735927043That purple is garish. It kinda works as the hair and tail scales, but it just looks goofy on the hands and feet. Still a cool dino, though.
>>735930590NothingLeave Digimon as it isThe less normalfags ruining as the cult of nintendo with pokemon, the better.
>>735957716The ones responsible for churning out Digimon games (Bamco) also have the rights to take a cut from Pokemon merch due to distribution. They don't want Digimon growing in any way that threatens Pokemon merch, even if it's unlikely to do so they won't allow it to try.
glad I got back into Digimon, Time Stranger was great and I'm enjoying the hell out of Beatbreak, looking forward to Digimon Up, Alysion and the Time Stranger Expansion :)
chances of bandai putting digimon games on GoG?
>>73596044025%
>>735960440About the same chances as Wolvermon winning a fight.
>>735960392Tits too big.
>>735927043I fucking love it
>>735960392Tits not big enough
>>735930590i think it is time to stop asking this question. Digimon has done well enough to survive and tries a bunch of different things with the IP to starve off stagnation and die like other things like Yokai watch
>>735930590For Pokemon to never exist or to stop being made.Nobody can catch up to it, it's pointless to think anyone can.
>>735927937>>735927372Chuckle
>>735963398
>>735928441are you retardedrobot dinosaur is quintessential digimon
>>735930590little girls
>>735927043I was expecting angel woman porn
Fuck people who hate it, this evo line is great so far
>>735950275Going "pokemon-tier popularity would mean big budget!" is a hilarious train of logic considering we can literally look at modern Pokemon games and their "quality" already.
>>735960440has bandai ever put anything on gog?
>>735965647I like it, hope they stick the landing with a Moon Cyber lizard samurai
>>735965529>being creatively bankrupt is staple for the franchiseYea, we know. What makes it funny is that some digifags love calling the pokemon franchise creatively bankrupt for its pokemon designs while digimon is even worse with its 839732987123 greymons and metal greymons.
>>735927043Looks better than any NuPokemon
For a group that claim they hate Pokemon, you sure do love talking about.
>>735966446It's more some because people still somehow interpret these threads as genuine jabs at the Digimon franchise and its designs rather than a ritualpost that has existed for 2 years now, so they feel the need to bring up Pokemon as a gotcha
>>735927043Armalizamon was way cooler than this, downgrade evo.
>>735927043Cant wait for the pristimon's ultimate form to be another human with a cosplay garbage instead of kemono kino.

>>735927043Pretty Badass
>>735967731They're bringing back best girl
>>735967605>>735968190You guys literally let Pokémon rent free in your head. If you hate something, don't think about it.
>>735967731Oh neat
>>735950275The thing is, even if the games were Pokemon popular, there is no guarantee that they would allocate more budget to them. In fact because Pokemon is so popular, they know they can just get away with doing dick all. There is no need to innovate or invest if you are already printing money doing what you are doing.Also, Digimon, while not a Pokemon rip-off, was most certainly brought to the west because of the popularity of Pokemon and the fact it had moniker "mon" at the end. It came significantly later too. Right or wrong, the marketing push looked like a desperate attempt to be the Pokemon killer, and the fans at the time did not help the sentiment.
>>735968190Based
>>735967731soon/eventually
>>735934181Yeah I agree with you. Pokemon had a much more coherent and marketable point of origin ("gotta catch em all!" and the Pokemon Rap was a bit of marketing genius). Digimon was schizo kino. Like I said, I liked both, and at the time preferred Digimon. But Pokemon just had smoother, easier conveyed parts. I don't engage with either one now besides looking through the pics of new mons posted on the internet, but I thought they were both awesome as a kid. Loved my Yellow and Silver cartridge, loved my Season 2 digivice, loved the two movies, loved the cards (Digimon's cards were way fucking cooler though), simple as.
>>735967731Yay!

Normalfags like rehashes. Shit like Madden and FIFA have been the exact same game for 20 years and people still play the newest versions.

>WarGreymon: Siriusmon, Brigadramon, Styracomon>Metal/RizeGreymon: MonarchLizamonSo they've given up on Omegamon clones and have gone all in on just cloning Greymon species Digimon.
>>735930590A head start. It's too late.
>>735976452My Heores
Tsukuyomimon is just gonna be a Dragon Man (or adjacent) Digimon with twin weapons attached to its arms, isn't it?
>>735976679It will be a very generic armored dragon human with a crescent moon on its head.
>>735976963>Susanoomon = Omegamon>Tsukuyomimon = WarGreymonSo Amaterasumon is the odd one out?
>>735927372fpbp
>>735951115>>735965678I don't think it would go big budget at all, just a higher budget than what it currently is into something between A and AA territory. Time Stranger seems to be straddling that line. I'm not saying become this behemoth of a brand that forgets its identity, just that it becomes a bit bigger so the games can see some meaningful focus by Bamco instead of continuing to stay super cheap. I don't want AAA Digimon games, I just want something slightly more invested into like they did with Time Stranger but a bit more.>>735969691>The thing is, even if the games were Pokemon popular, there is no guarantee that they would allocate more budget to them.Even if it's not to one specific project it could still potentially lead to more side games being made alongside a mainline on a smaller budget. Like I said, Survive, Battle Spirits, Rumble Arena, stuff like that. That way you'd have the main team on a mainline and the side team making a side game, or even brand new side games like the Adventure game or Data Squad for example.
>>735977912I don't know people think the pokemon games are made with big budgets. It's not.
>>735978546They're not made with huge budgets but from what we saw with stuff like PLA and SV it's still seemingly more than whatever Digimon gets. Pokemon is also regularly funding stuff like Pokopia, Pokemon Dash, Pokemon Conquest, etc.
>>735976452cool
>>735927043justice for my man klay
Is the mega gonna be a dino or dragon knight?
>>735973392Can we finally admit that the godzilla collab mons look like garbage?
>>735982062Maybe cyber dino
>>735982062Do you even have to ask?
>>735940745does she even take her panties off when she shits on your floor?
>>735982062Beatbreak has the same writer as Savers/Data Squad and we did have an instance of going dinosaur>dragon in that series with RizeGreymon to ShineGreymon, so he could just become a dragon at the end.
>>735982062Something related to the moonBased on Gekkomon and ArmaLizamon having rolling attacks, I was wondering if it was going to be some kind of ouroboros where he's eating his own tail to visually represent a full moon, but can switch to crescent moon mode. Also the tail/mouth would represent dawn, the ending of night and beginning of day, the day cycle.
>>735984303>Same screenwriterHow in the actual fuck, the two series are like night and day in quality.
>>735983603/ss/ predators
>>735965810it's going to be Tsukuyomimon. which will be humanoid.
>>735927937lmao digimon HIRE THIS MAN
>>735967731Hope Beelstarmon shows up
>>735984649Good for him for improving.
>>735984649Now know you why Reina and Wolvermon are jobbers. It's because Yoshino was basically the same.
>>735932721Yeah, he’s absolutely the best mon in the show
Beatbreak is Based
>>735927043that looks fuckin cool
>>735985225>Ultimate competing with a child
>>735985657I just watched episode 21 yesterday and Reina was great, she GRABBED Ludomon and got into the battle herself all while trying to talk sense into Granit. She's the team leader when Kyou isn't around, and she has an actual personality.Yoshino was a character who only ever got as many scenes as she did because her seiyuu was a hot topic actress at the time, but she couldn't voice act for shit because Yoshino is one of the worst vocal performances I've heard from anime. She improves as the series goes on, but she's the least fleshed-out of the main four humans, her backstory is a footnote in a script for an episode that's thematically unrelated to any other backstory, and it's never brought up or expanded upon after it's introduced. They don't know what to do with her, so they have her play the straight man role and react to things like a tsukkomi. The other three at least have major stuff with their families going on, since it's about the child overcoming the parent.It's actually Makoto that could use a bit more fleshing out at the moment, particularly his relationship with his own family. Reina's parents disappeared when she was 8, no relatives would take her in and she was taken in by a facility. She gets Pristimon, runs away, becomes a cleaner, and does job after job until she finally comes across Kyou who was also seeking a family. Glowing Dawn is one big foster family, with Kyou acting as everyone's big brother. And we see from Kyou's past that he was likely living on the streets growing up, the big accident happened when he was 1 year old. He was an angry street kid who only wanted a family.
>>735986180She's so great
>>735987567>yandere for some jobber
>>735986514it's mid
>>735927043Fucking Rad
>>735989506>jobber
>>735934624>The Story games also don't help that Dedigivolving is a major core mechanic causing you to disassociate from the Digimon on top of it.I fucking hate that shit, why can't I just DNA digivolve my mon, why do I have to go grind it up and down a billion times to the point I feel literally zero connection with it anymore
>>735990110you really dont need to do that in time stranger
>>735982498Skull greymon and mugendramon collabs look good though.
>>735990529My potato wife
>>735942016SAUCE NAO
Good Classic Dino Robo design, I really like it
>>735985225I roleplayed as renamon as a kid it was turbo cringe
>>735984772Milking digishotas
>>735927043>>735965810Kino Incoming
>>735973392starting to think that might be wolvermon´s ultimate and not murasemon
>>735993418What card is it from?
>>735993574
>>735993640hmmmmm, it could be a tossup
>>735993640Though it's a little feminine, I think it's probably for Murasamemon.>Japanese name>Originates from Ame no Habakiri, a legendary sord>Murasame also comes from a legendary sword>Ame, while meaning heaven in this context, is homophonous with the Japanese word for rain>Murasame 村雨 means passing rain shower>Murasamemon's most recent ultimate attack resembled black rain>Pristimon/Wolvermon don't have names of Japanese origin, and they're Vaccine>Murasamemon and Habakirimon are both Virus>The card itself is gold with black, which were the colors used to represent Kyou's e-Pulse with his big final move
>>735993253It took me this long to realize that's supposed to be a moon crescent on all the evolution...
This is a Digimon server
Childhood Digimon fan from 90s, not a regular in Digimon threads, know nothing about the current state of the franchise. I think the design is cool. Thanks for reading.
>>735994631ToT
>>735927043thank god, at least they're still dinosaur cyborgs
>>735927937>>735927372The Irony is that Rexy is based off of Tyco Toy's Dino Riders T-Rex, who had grey battle armor and lasers strapped to him.
>>735968860Gekkomon's current mother.
Is the final boss going to be Wong or Kanada? I'm sure that thing that destroyed the island and sunk Tokyo Bay is going to be the final boss Digimon.
>>735995678>Jobbermon is going to be the last one to get an Ultimatethey hate her.
>>735992267That better be because Renamon's voice was male in your dub or some shit because why would you roleplay as a girl?
>>735992267Okay but why?
>>735927937
>>735995678she cute
>>736000293glad my wife did so good in the poll, now put her in the Time Stranger expansion BANDAI
>>735930590I don't want anything to be as popular as Pokemon, its a load bearing enshittified franchise that supports the entire monster collecting jrpg ecosystem
>>736000293Kazemon and the placement she typically gets in 1v1 competitions
>>735941351>Dinorideronly 1 mention in this entire thread. Fucking sad these people had no real child hood.
>>736000849Yuuki my beloved
>>735995678She’s adorable, and I wish we had more moments in the anime where she is just chilling with the rest of the gang instead of reverting to Pristimon.
>>736000862if she were true to character Agnimon would have saved her
>>736000948Hate to break it to ya, but Dino-Riders was something of a flop compared to some toy lines, even people our age might not know it.
>>735927043Digimon has always been garish and hodgepodgy, the design philosophy of the franchise is just throwing more and more shit on top without any regard for thematic consistency.
>>736001565But it was SO FUCKING RAD
>>736001956Robots, animals, demons, and women. They are only in these categories, if you cant keep up with that then youre fucking retarded.
>>736002148the iron ball is my favorite animal
>>736002201Robot category.
>>736002227Explain the cyborg version. You can't make a robot a cyborg by adding more robot parts.
>>735965529>>735929592>>735929651except this one looks badthe cyborg elements outside of the helmets look way too smoth and toyetic, the way the flesh just transitions into metal looks bad too, etcWhere's the grunge and gross wires and veins and shit like classic digimon
>>736002148Sentient poop, raggedy teddy bears, men with boners in chimpanzee pajamas and disembodied pink faces fit none of those descriptions.
>>736002318> You can't make a robot a cyborg by adding more robot parts.That's where youre wrong fucko, Even more robot category
>>736002407Fine, add a "weirdos" category, satisfied?A vast majority fall into the ones i'd already said, you picking out the some oddballs as the odd outlier is hardly a point.
Modern digimon still pretty much looks the same as they always did, even if there's a higher ratio of big titty bitches and armored anime knights than there used to be. Can't say the same about Pokemon.
>>736002473Why do digimon fans get pissed when such an incredibly obvious fact is stated? if you like the franchise shouldn't you just own the fact that the designs are fugly and embrace them? Why make excuses?
>>736003121>Digimon has always been garish and hodgepodgy, the design philosophy of the franchise is just throwing more and more shit on top without any regard for thematic consistency.My posts are in regard to this one, there is a distinct thematic, once you welcome the Data origin of Digimon and understand how and why they look the way they do.You being an unwelcoming and reductive retard doesn't devalue the subject matter doesn't make you right.
>>736002148>forgot the plantsShame on you.
>>736005271cute
>>735995678Her ultimate form is gonna be a human woman in a cosplay.
>>736006028Good
>>736006028People thought so too for Elizamon, then she just became a man.For all we know Pristimon will simply turn into a colugo.
>>736005398He's very cool y'know
don't look up the phoenixmon x antibody card
>>736008564She just has fat tits.
>>736008839but why
>>735930590Why should it? It should be happy being in its own sphere like SMT is, brand war faggotry between monster collectors is just retarded in current year.
>>736010273Because fuck you.
>>736007007Elizamon's ultimate is a woman tho, just not the super ultimate. Besides, Styracomon will get Ariemon'd the second it appears in any piece of media that isn't Liberator
>>736010750Not tits. Muscles, bruh.
>>736011697I like how literally everyone dislikes styraco so much they completely disassociate it from the Eliza line. It's not even a 4chan thing.People adore Holydramon, and even those people don't care for styraco.
>>736011867It's not a very good design. It's heavily derivative of WarGreymon, but also just inferior in every way. Its color scheme isn't great and despite having so many similarities to WarGreymon, it all looks just worse. The chestpiece looks bad, the leggings look bad, the shields look bad.
>>736011867They knew what they were doing and probably expected the reaction to don't extent, but webt with it anyway
>>735927043Was Proganamon a reference to Jinmen?
>>735927043I can't believe the beatbreakers are fucking dead.
>>736015761Considering how the original vpet was all reworked godzilla kaiju due to a dropped collaboration, yeah, probably.
>>736016458they aren't
>>736015761It is likely
>>736016659I can't believe the tactics dudes became the new MCs man.At least Ludomon is a cool little dude.
>>736011858cope
>>735927043Looks like most digimons from 20 years ago.
>>735927043>cyborg T Rex. Hasn't this always been a digimon design.
>>735937803I hate that Cougarmon and Pristimon evolve into furries. Wolvermon, in particular, looks really bad, really hoping the Kanzentai form salvages it. Aside from that, I've been having fun, Gekkomon is a cool guy.
>>736020705faggot
>>736020705Shut up retard
>>736020705Keep talking scholar.
>>736011867>>736014891Styracomon is referred to as ugly in the comic itself at one point, they absolutely did know what the reaction would be and wanted to troll the fans a little lol
>>736023726cringe
>>735927043This looks great
I NEED MORE NEWS
>>735930590Another series from Konaka and KakudoA Show or Game
>>736026364Kino line so far
>>736026364Sad there’s no blue in the ultimate
>>736027304Yeag seems like Green and Pink are going to be his primary colors
>>735930590Digimon needs to just carve its own corner. Trying to fight pokemon is like trying to fight World of Warcraft. You won't win and your MMO will shut down way before Activision/Blizzard decides to kill WoW.
>>736026364but does it have a matching 10 year old? this is important
>>736029241Cute frog
>>736028108A 15 year old, the point is more that Gekkomon represents his younger self who he thought was cringe in relation to his older brother, but Gekkomon now puts him in the older brother role, all while having a new older brother figure.
>>736026364Based
>>736030875Close enough
>>736029241Cute
>>736034862Slut
>>736005271based!!
>>736005271Even Bandai forgot the plants, there literally hasn't been even a single new plant digimon since 2022
>>736025757Same
>>735931578I like that they brought back an actual evolution sequence instead of eggslap and you've digivolvedHow long did it take them, almost two full seasons?
>>735937803I cant get over how murasamemon looks like your average deviantart gfursona
>>735933507FAT
>>735930367edgy ridley
what went wrong
>>735933507Fatty lel
>>736039779One is literally the most profitable media franchise of all time and the other has no footing outside of japan
>>735993418>Cougar and mura are yellow virus>Habakirimon is yellow virus>Meanwhile wolvermon is black cyborg and pristimon puppetYeeeeaaahhh no
>>735950257>corridor stranger
>>735927043Say what you will but even now, you see a design like that and KNOW it's a Digimon. You can't say the same about Pokemon in the modern era.
>>735982062hes gonna be a 6 armed samurai
>>736039779One has effort put into it and the other is just selling on name alone.
>>735927043I’m a simple man. I see dinosaurs, especially tyrannosaurus, I like it.
>>735927043
>>736041987corridor stranger woooshhh
>>735927043he's such a fat chud
>>736043503for me, it's
>>736043503I hate how this dog is a car, but it's floating. They could've just flipped the wheels under the feet and fixed that.
>>736043621I think your borzoi has autism.
This is my favorite Digimon.
>>736043503Better a well designed corridor than whatever open world bullshit pokemon has latched on to.
>>736011867I hate Styraco because his fucking card is a pain in the ass to play against while being so braindead easy to play. Why did they give the agressive, memory efficient aggro deck a defensive top end??
>>735927043If you don't think this looks cool as fuck, you don't like digimon
>>736044976They were really stupid for that ngl.
>>736039779Pokefags are pathetic
>>736040609>You can't say the same about Pokemon in the modern era.You actually can because it looks like dogshit.
Time Stranger was the best monster collecting game I've played in the last 15 years (Diamond and Pearl)
>>736044976>>736045125Because they want to sell cardboard. I hate his card too because more than once I lost one of my two SEC/Alt Art spots in a box to his ugly ass.At least people will buy them for above $20.
>>7359731242/"5 Stars"It shouldn't have gone on for this long, or at least used different teams.>purpose of the arc is to showcase professional cleaners>use the same 3 characters>give them fleshed out backstories so you sympathize with them as rivals>they regularly perform horrendous crimes and only show regret once they realize they are being taken advantage ofKlay was great. He was a good villain with an interesting plot, plus he served as the perfect window into the darker side of Beatbreak's society. Tactics Team Seven should have been recurring minor characters rather than a focus.The next few episodes seem to be returning to the episodic, developmental earlier season: I look forward to it.
cant wait for more of her
>>736023742Are Liberator evolutions mandated by Bandai, or do the writers get to decide?
>>735927043Where are the feathers?
>>736046097Clearly mandated, and Hara's a barafag so we're stuck with Medusamon hitting the wall and Sanzomon turning into this guy. Expect more of this to happen with the current leadership.
>still thinking that styracomon is an super ultimate when we already have an example of liberator level 7s being made into regular ultimates Ngmi
>>736046971Talk to the class again when this actually happens and it's not just Ariemon moves aside so everyone can have the same level 7 in the shambalas.
>>736044976I play pteromon so it’s a complete cointoss matchup. Styraco can’t do shit to Vortex but they run removal options which are his weakness.
>>735973124pretty bad during the beginning in middle parts. Naito's best feat was punching a stuck up Raito twice. Tactics 7 is scum with forced redemption. The end is good because Klay was that good.
>>736045758They know they're being taken advantage of, but joined in spite of it.Hotaruko is a good person but is providing for her family since her father is dead. She's also working on borrowed money. When her hands get too dirty (ie. drowning Granit in his sleep), she can't bring herself to go through with it.Granit has no will to live, but his Digimon cares about him and is the perfect shield. He's just waiting for a place to die and rejoin Stella in a way that she wouldn't disapprove of, which he believes is dying for a purpose. When Reina drives him to live like Stella did, he's able to begin caring for others.Raito is just an ass with an overinflated ego. He's hailed as a prodigy at everything but Digimon, so he's a tryhard and obsessively overcompensates. But he needs to keep up the air that he's better than everyone. He has a sense of morality, but it's so buried beneath his ego.My issue was that other Tactics members outside of Team Seven were practically never utilized. We got the episode with Haruomi and he will be returning, but I would have wanted to see Tactics branches from around the world being dismantled and apprehended by the government, along with other characters assisting Team Seven (call them Japan's leading branch to justify their repeated inclusion).
>>736045262Sadly i think it's just the way of card games. I watched a video of the tolarian MTG guy where he talks about the unsustainability of releasing a billion standard legal sets so your playerpigs can keep spending, and it's clear to me that Bandai is capitalizing on the card game to squeeze as much money as possible, power creep be damned. The game is still fun and pretty diverse outside of the meta at least.>>736047609I'm playing Bees on this format (going back to B/G Imp once i get my AD 01 cards) and started teching Vortex just for that reason. If they get Styraco out early enough i can't play the game, even with Cannonbee being pretty strong into it.
>>736047354Ariemon is part of a consistent luck-themed line in Shambala while Ryugumon is an RK-equivalent in its lore THOUGH, they're also entirely unrelated in lore and power level-wise
>>736048171Yeah the Naito stuff was rough. They kept hyping him up like he was gonna have some big ideological clash with Raito and it just amounted to “punch smug kid, refuse to elaborate.” Tactics 7 being framed as tragic victims when they knowingly signed up to do wet work didn’t help either. The show really wanted you to forget they were straight up running hits two episodes prior.Klay hard-carried the arc. Dude actually felt like he belonged in the setting and not in a different genre. Every time it cut back to the corporate rot and the way he rationalized it, it was kino. If the whole middle chunk had that energy instead of forced “they’re not so bad guys!!!” moments it would’ve been way tighter.
how is this thread still alive? and not only this one, i have seen some threads recently last for a couple of days, is /v/ already dying?
>>7360527622-3 day old threads are a relatively common sight on /v/ these days yeah, guess most dopamine addicts prefer post-musk xitter these days and even many of the shitposters are tired of stewing in their own shit, and of course most quality posters left a while ago because of them.
>>736053545It's something more like the past month I've noticed. The site took a major (and good) hit when the site went down something like a year or so back now? So many people stopped posting because of that week long downtime and refused to come back and it genuinely made posting quality go up as a whole.
I hope this guy comes to Time Stranger.
>>736052762Site activity took a big hit during the hack and the general unmitigated scizophrenia on every popular enough board isn't doing any favors.If someone wanted to both stir and wade through shit all day every day twitter at least pays you to do it now.
>>736054051Same, its so fucking cool
>>736053661>genuinely made posting quality go up as a whole.Now i really don't think that's the case unless it's by an extremely slim margin, but whatever
>>736051793My Wife
>>736054352It's noticeable in how much the shitposting has lowered over the past few months. Don't get me wrong, there's still a lot of it, but compared to prior to the hack it feels like night and day.
>>736054180It's in large part caused by the 4chanification of the rest of the internet. You don't need to go to 4chan to fight pointless brainrotting culture wars or say the nigger word or ruminate on how pajeets are embarrassing subhumans who shit on the streets anymore, you can go to xitter instead. You don't need to go to /pol/ to talk about how the jews secretly control the world and worship Satan anymore, now the kids are openly doing that on Tiktok and Instagram reels. /pol/ itself isn't even the alt-right mecca no longer now that half of the board turned against the orange man, that too is now xitter. Wanna be an incel? No need to seek out /r9k/ or some dingy forum, now incel forum lingo is super mainstream and looksmaxxers all over social media carry on the flame of trying not to be a virgin in the most embarassing way possible. Hell, you don't even need to go to 4chan to laugh at funny 4chan posts, xitter parasites like that Rock Solid retard just come down to /v/, take a screenshot of some funny post with their fucking phones and upload it to X the everything app, and like you said, they get fucking paid for it.You don't need to come here for the 4chan experience anymore, you can do it on most mainstream platforms anymore, and the only price is not being anonymous, and zoomers don't give a fuck about being anonymous, in fact they all wanna ride the wave of internet fame in some way or another. And the worst part? Despite all that, somehow, the schizos still outnumber good posters on 4chan itself, so this place is still a shithole.Anyway, Digimon?
>>736006028It'll get correctly ignored like almost every other time that happens.
>>736006028it better be a tanned tomboy
>>736055359>Anyway, Digimon?I'm replaying Cyber Sluts after finishing Time Stranger to see how well I remember it.It's softened my opinion on Time Stranger a good amount, but I still really like CS' cast a lot more.The Time Stranger cast feels super underutilized in comparison
>>736044976If you're playing a card game after the initial boom where it succumbs to power creep and most people leave, you can only blame yourself.
>>736055606Agreed.
>>736048409As a green enjoyer it’s nice to have two solid decks between vortex and bees after like 2 years of straight garbage. I pray Bloomlord support is good later this year.
>>736055698>Keisuke doesn't get to live a happy life with his wife.>She has to watch him from the Digital World instead.
It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.
>>735995678My jobberwife and her jobbermon.If I had a nickel for every time her seiyuu voiced a sexy tomatohead with an attitude, I'd have two nickels. Not much but it's odd it happened twice in a row.
>>736043503Damn thats badass

>>736063854Based
>>736063854Neat
>>735927043Looks more like a Digimon than Pokemon in 2026 look like Pokemon.
>>736065873True
