why weren't there Digimon RPG for GBA? Bandai didn't want to compete with Pokemon?
>>
>>59254146
These were made to clearly compete with Pokemon. That said, this was also before 99% of non first party Nintendo games were on every platform. Digimon was mostly a Playstation franchise
>>
>>59254146
They saved their RPGs for real consoles and handhelds
>>
Didn't want to lose face about the Wonderswan. Two were Wonderswan ports because it wasn't available in the west, and the last was a western developed licensed racing game.
>>
>>59254146
Holy fuck these sprites are amazing
>>
>>59254330
The DS sold almost twice as many units as the GBA. Keep seething.
>>
>>59254184
This game was so fucking boring. It put me to sleep faster than a pokemon game.

>your parents hated you enough to not get you an ngage or any Symbian phone
poorfag esl

Teenagers were more interested in PS2's than portable SNES's lad.
>>
>>59254505
>the ngage and average gayming Symbian phone more expensive than kektendo toys
Imagine bragging about being scammed.
>>
>>59254494
I didn't get an N-Gage because it was a piece of shit taco phone that forced you to remove the battery to change games. What kind of tard play is this
>>
>>59254536
You're brown lol
>>
>>59254536
How many of that library of 65 total games over the span of 19 years did you buy, champ?
>>
>>59254536
What game sister? I was answering why they never took Digishit to GBA and that's because the GBA was a portable SNES in 2002, while the PS2 was a thing and teenagers preferred the PS2 than getting laughed at for owning a portable SNES in the days of the PS2. It is worth noting a portable SNES in 1998 would have been proper gravy, but Pokémon succeeded, so Nintendo delayed replacement of the Game Boy, leading to the teenage audience ignoring Nintendo until they'd grown up 9as we established they didn't buy into GBA but the Wii was fucking everywhere, bnot to mention the Switch more recently).

jajaja

>symbian hasn't even been playable for over a decade
At least your bait is funny, I'll give you that

>Something how most people without og hardware do to play their favorite ds/gba goymes.
Why didn't you have the og hardware?
>>
>>59254146
there was a fighting game and maybe other stuff

True answer, at that time they were releasing games on the wonderswan and wonderswan color. Some games still made it to the gba like the battle spirits games, that had improved versions with more characters on the wonderswan. They even did cross media storytelling with those games, the games are part of the plot of adventure 02
>>
>>59254146
They still had the WonderSwan at the time and Digimon was one of the only IPs holding it up, alongside Gundam and Super Robot Wars.
>>
Gunpei Yokoi assassination conspiracy theory
>>
Digimon was a console RPG until the DS/PSP era.
Then the modern Digimon games borrowed heavily from those handhelds.
>>
>>59254146
They were too busy surpassing all the modern 3D pokemon games in 1999
>>
>>59254146
While Pokemon had a formula that worked and they stayed with, Digimon games kept trying different things and at least half of them sucked due to poor game design.
>>
>>59255202
I'd say 2/3, the only games I liked playing were Survive and the Story series
>>
What just happened?
>>
>>59255202
Yup, that's basically Digimon's schtick and yet the fanbase liked it for some reason. Franchise loyalty is something else.
>>59255304
It's funny that the series is called Story but the story is the least thing you care about in the game. 7/10 overall
Survive is a big disappointment for me, and even worse than the story games, which I think were the bare minimum for Digimon to work with if they want to get close to Pokemon level of consistency.
>>
>>59254448
That game is the basis for all modern Digimon Games, unfortunately. Fuck the Story subfranchise.
>>
>>59254184
Digimon World DS was way better
>>
>>59254146
Bandai is well known for mismanaging everything they touch.
And oh irony, few months ago most of their gaming stuff got bought by Nintendo.
>>
>>59254665
>the games are part of the plot of adventure 02
And the next season too! But this is a heavy spoiler.
>>
>>59254146
If you look into Bandai's history you realize it has no reason to have ever succeeded. They make every bad decision you can possibly make, yet somehow fall on their feet with a $100 bill somehow making its way into their front pocket for good measure. What would cause any other company to collapse overnight is what Bandai does on the regular to success.
It's fucking weird. But yeah, if you've ever wondered why nothing happens with their IPs that's why. They're competently incompetent.

as somebody who loves Digimon more than Pokémon, you're absolutely right. These games are severely overrated because the 2 brain cell weebs see roster bloat and get excited. The retarded fans gassing this game up ironically made Jaiden Animations not a fan of Digimon because she tried getting into this franchise through this game thinking it was the peak only to be bored and unimpressed as fuck. Cyber Sleuth was right there to recommend but Dawn and Dusk retards shot themselves in the dick and now a whole group of people probably avoid Digimon because they saw Jaiden's video

Isn't World 1 like a weird mixture of RPG elements and Tamagotchi mechanics? You feed them, take them to the bathroom, train them?
>>
>>59257995
Yeah. It's one of those games that are basically impossible to jump into without a walkthrough in hand though. Made for being one of the three games a year a kid would get, to ram your face into a wall and fail endlessly to increase runtime.
Great game when you get it running.
>>
>>59257995
Yes. That's why I don't like the World series.
>>
>>59258139
>It's one of those games that are basically impossible to jump into without a walkthrough in hand
The official walkthrough should be avoided since the information is wrong on a lot of stuff.
>>
>>59257793
Cybersluts is a massive slog past certain point, numemon grind don't help. TS fixed a lot of stuff but have worse story.
>>

Oh you’re one of those annoying strains of autistic

I actually much prefered TS's story. Suedo put me to sleep when he text walled me, I actually wanted him to die

This one is pretty decent at least for the general game stuff
>>
>>59254184
These games and World DS are bare minimum of what a decent Digimon game should be, but even that still puts it way below Pokemon Red imo.
