Easy, Best Digimon is on the left.

Seriously, is there any Digimon superior to the Palmon line? Lilymon's got all the power of the other Ultimates without the increased size.
>>
>>25634553
I don't go to shit parties.
>>
>>25634554
I was always a fan of Gomamon's line.

Also we have Patamon and Tailmon and enemies always happen to be dark digimon that they are super effective against.
>>
>>25634567
I always figured that was because the younger kids were given an advantage to counter their age handicap. They can't strategise or get physically involved like the other kids, so they get holy type partners with different perks.

>Patamon
A really weak rookie with a champion form on-par with the ultimates and an ultimate form on-par with the megas.

>Gatomon
Default form of champion at the size of a rookie, and an ultimate counterpart to Angemon

Not to mention they can also DNA digivolve.

Is there a digimon forum somewhere where they just constant insult and lament new digimon designs for looking like pokemon? Does the digimon fandom have "genwunners" for that matter?
>>
>>25634605

No because Digimon fans are smarter than Pokemon fans on average.
>>
>>25634607
But what does that even mean? They are too smart to bother criticising the series they like or smart enough to realize pokemon designs are indeed better so it would be foolish to complain about digimon looking like pokemon because it would be a good thing?
>>
>>25634605
Not really. I guess the closest you'd get would be people upset with the tonal shift that Tamers made, being a darker series compared to the more lighthearted 1st two seasons. Of course, Adventure and 02 did have plenty of fucked up stuff in them, but Tamers ratcheted things up to 11. However, I've never actually met someone with this viewpoint, probably because Tamers executed the darker storyline so well, in my opinion. Really while there's plenty of difference between the seasons, the Digimon equivalent of gens, most Digimon fans enjoyed all of them, despite all the different directions they went in.

I have to disagree with you there. Pokemon and Digimon are designed with different design philosophies, so it's not really a 1:1 comparison. Really while both series deal with mons, there are countless differences between them.

Excuse you?
Digimon is fat from diverse when it comes to designs. Especially when the majority are simply recolors.

The recolors aren't seen as unique Digimon. They're supposed to be variations of the original Digimon.
NiseDrimogemon is just a regular Drimogemon with a weird mustache. IceDevimon is just Devimon with a "heart as cold as ice" and so on.
And since Digimon doesn't have an objectively right bestiary, the recolors from one game might not appear in a sequel.

A lot of Digimon get recolored on the spot just to pad the bestiary in one specific game. The World DS games were big offenders of this one.

Yeah, no. There are well over a thousand Digimon and only like 20 of them true recolors. And when I said diversity I mean in terms of concepts and aesthetics. Digimon is a lot more flexible than Pokemon in terms of design.

Yes, yuki meaning snow, just shows that it's a variance of Agumon that lives in colder regions of the digital world. A lot of the Digimon games showed YukiAgumon solely in cold reigions of the world. Original Digimon Word, Championship on the DS, and World 3 just off of the top of my head.

Also, the recolors usually have a different type to allow branching into different evolutions. The virus type BlackAgumon evolving into the virus Perfect SkullGreymon fits more than the regular vaccine Agumon for example.

The digimon themselves. Just digimon I like, or even evo paths I've worked out. I can't speak of that just in the context of one medium, even if my logic works similar to the anime. The specific characters from the anime wouldn't really apply, and the games change too often to matter for that. I don't know of any of the manga, but I'm sure they're also too specific.

Heh...interesting. I feel the same way about Pokemon, but no, everything has to be about the games, even though nothing follows a single mentality at all. Apparently, it's only fanfic material. Why does everything have to be so official? True, everything is defined by something, but for either, that definition has been left vague. Why do you have such a problem with people making their own interpretation of it? Even stuff like Star Trek/Star Wars/LOTR/any other fantasy franchise is merely a framework. True, they have things that are more hard-coded than we do, but that's just it. We don't have things that are as definite as what they have. The standard does not apply. You can enforce canon for one thing, but it is not universal. Bottom line, I will not have anyone tell me what to think. I choose that for myself. You can call me wrong all you want, but it is what I think and you are not going to change that.

Digimon fans are pretty much used to the diversity of design, as well as the crazy evolutionary capabilities and forms.

Pokemon fans? Well, Pokemon fans are just ignorant of their own franchise and monsters, incapable of accepting that the simplistic designs in the beginning were due to graphical limitations. That many newer designs are product of more advanced technology, and are pretty much better for it.

Many so-called Pokemon fans do not understand their own franchise's monsters, and are horribly ignorant of design.

It's sad, really.

Recolours aren't THAT common in Digimon. Yeah they exist, but with some like Goborimon, Snow Goborimon etc they are akin to Eeveelutions.

Its definitely a slight issue, but most of that comes from older games setting the trend for reusing the same character models as bosses/main characters due to hardware and memory limitations. After that it became a thing that can sometimes happen in the show/manga/etc but its nowhere near as bad as you're making out.
>>
>>25636293
Most often the criticism comes from completely asinine issues that aren't even really issues to begin with.

Case in point: Pokemon design. There's nothing wrong with Pokemon design, but that doesn't stop people from sticking rods so far up their ass because they have no idea themselves just what a Pokemon is, can be, or look like.

Do the main series games have problems, though? Yes, yes they do. Game Freak really isn't the best, and many of their development practices and ideas can be rather confusing. Sometimes it feels like they do take a step forward, and then two steps back.

But at the same time, Pokemon fans seem to just never know just what they like or want, and end up overly picky and fickle.

Pic & filename related. Being entitled and being complacent are polar opposites.

I've mentioned some of the most inconsequential opinions on the series and people have called me entitled for having them. It's ridiculous. I suggested Move Tutors have a wider, more organized selection of moves in a thread the other day and anons shot daggers at me.

/vp/ throws around the word "entitled" in the same flippant manner as "cuck".

5th season has Rosemon, then her burst mode. Watch the sub, the dub did some cutting back on the breasts involved.
1st has lillymon later on, and the latest episode of tri has her going to her mega form (which is also Rosemon).
2, 3, and 4 don't have any plant protagonists, iirc.

You only feel they have worsened because you can't accept the fact that thanks to the technological advancement of systems, Pokemon are able to have more design to them, and not be overly and horribly limited.

Each Pokemon is capable of having a more unique look to them, be it via colors or some extra parts here and there. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, because time moves on.

The only problem is the complete inability to accept change, or the inability to appreciate change in any way. Instead, most people are incapable of accepting it and remain stuck in the mentality that Pokemon should remain horribly simple in appearance.

It is not the various colors or parts or anything like that which makes a Pokemon look like a Pokemon. What matters is the general STYLE, because despite the fact that Pokemon are capable of now possessing more complex designs and appearances, they are still, at the base of it all, simplistic in the majority. They come off as a bit more 'cartoony' and over the top.

A Pokemon is a Pokemon. You can either accept the fact that your view is more than likely outdated horribly, or you can wallow in the ignorance that you keep fastened to yourself.

If you can't manage to enjoy the Pokemon for what they are, then there is nothing more that can be said. The problem is you. The inability to actually have fun and appreciate the off the wall designs is all you.

A lot of people hate Frontier, and not just the kids that came in on Adventure and 02. It's the odd one out, it doesn't have the same flavor as the others. I, however, don't mind it, but the writing is very hit and miss. I skip a lot of eps and ignore the antics of worthless and even more worthless.
>>
>>25636824
Eh, that's potentially because Season 1+2 were a shared continuity (Digimon Adventure), and everything afterwards is set in it's own continuity with new characters, different rules about how the world works, etc. Of all that I've seen Digimon Savers and Digimon Frontier are my favorites, though I couldn't tell you what "season" those are. Savers was awesome for the fact that it erupted into an all-out war between humanity in the real world and Digimon, so it had an almost eerie "this is how a discovery like that would *actually* go down" kind of vibe. Frontier was a more traditional "save the digital world" kind of adventure that went all to hell for the heroes *really* fast after the halfway point, making the latter half of the series super-intense in terms of stakes, plus I kind of dug the "kids as avatars of the digi-spirits" angle, even if it meant that a couple of the awesome digimon had goofy as fuck children voices.

They're not necessarily the series that I'd recommend for a first timer by any means, but I grew up watching Season 1 and 2 on TV, loved them, and I'll still gladly admit that there are seasons that had me much more interested.

Savers/Data Squad is 5 and Frontier is 4.
>>
>>25636881
In defense of Frontier, they had to deal with a writers strike/budget cuts, so they had to make some major changes halfway through the season. They were supposed to add another four kids to the main cast for the other digi-spirits, and you even *meet* those kids at one point before they get literally put on a train back to the real world because they didn't have the budget to throw at the expensive CGI transformations for 8 more digi-spirits, and thus they had to stretch things out a bit to fill in the space that was going to be taken up getting to know these kids and showcase their spirits. If you give it a fair shake I think it's one of the best in terms of story, considering that the bad guys *literally* destroy the entire world to resurrect Lucemon, i.e. *literally* Digital Satan, who then hands the kids their own ass on a gilded platter and destroys and consumes the rest of the remaining bits of the digital universe and turns his sights on our world. I consider it the highest stakes final battle of the entire franchise. When your bad guy has *henchmen* that destroyed the world and then he shows up to curb stomp you, you're kind of at the top of the tension meter.

Well, the biggest virtue of Savers is that it pulls no punches. They get straight to the point pretty quickly. It also features the biggest scumbag I've ever seen. It does drone on, though. Not to mention after their strong presence in Frontier, the Royal Knights are strangely downplayed here, save for one of them. It's not the best season, no, but it has the strongest premise.
>>
>>25637012
>No to mention after their strong presence in Frontier, the Royal Knights are strangely downplayed here

Not really. The set of Royal Knights in Savers aren't the the Royal Knights from Frontier, even though the concept and membership of the Royal Knights as digi-verse fluff remain the same.

Oh I'm with you, and that was my biggest disappointment. I was hoping for some really awesome new form for the Earth and Water spirits particularly, but all said it was still pretty damn good. I never expected Digimon to be the best series ever, considering it's literally a children's show made to sell toys and take up air time, but damn if it isn't fun, and Frontier managed to pull that off well.

>>25637012
Exactly. It also focuses a fair bit on the human side of things, which you don't get to see often in Digimon. Most of the time it's kids wandering around in the Digital World and meeting all kinds of strange creatures, but in Savers it's set largely in the human world. You get to see how the government reacts to digimon, how the situation is handled, how the protags families react to them having digimon partners, etc. As you said, the villain is an absolute scumbag and you *want* to see him get his face busted open pretty bad, which is a good motivator. Toss in the digimon staging a full-scale invasion of the human world in the last part of the season and you've got a damn fun show to waste a bit of time on. It's not *supposed* to be super high quality entertainment, so if you're not being a picky little bitch it's pretty easy to enjoy most any digimon show.

>I never expected Digimon to be the best series ever, considering it's literally a children's show made to sell toys and take up air time

That's really the show's origin story. Digimon Adventure was only going to be 12 episodes long, (The length of the Devimon Arc) but the released episodes were of such surprising quality that they turned it into a larger series. Watch the Devimon Arc and you'll see that it's a very well-written story that has a large amount of character development for all 7 main characters. That they managed to create such a heavily character-focused series in such a fantastical monster battle setting shows just how good the creators were at their jobs. Then when they expanded on it on the fly they managed to continually one-up themselves as the show went on.
>>
I had to take a large helping of humble pie to watch Savers, though. I did and still to this day hate the new Agumon line they made for this. I watched it ignoring the matter that it exists. The other two are a little more justified, but they're still expies of two of the original crew. (Gabumon and Palmon respectively) I often overlook their existence whenever I do research on specific kinds of digis, but I wll at least acknowledge their existence. Alternate Greymon and co? Nope. Into the trash it goes. I will never include them on anything I do with digi lines.

Tamers is also set exclusively in the human world except for the Digital World Arc. They don't even enter the Digital World until halfway through the season when they already had ultimates, and there was still another arc after they left.

I'd really like to see a series that takes advantage of some of that digi-verse fluff myself. It bothers me to no end that there is a set membership for the Seven Great Demon Lords and we've never seen any of them together in a show. We've gotten Lucemon in one season and Belphemon in another, and I think Demon might have popped up somewhere, but I really, *really* want a season of Digimon where the Seven Lords are awakening somehow or because of someone's efforts and culminating in some kind of digital apocalypse so the last 15-ish episodes are spent journeying around a crapsack digital world ruled by the digital lords of hell and trying to put them back where they came from to restore the world to how it should be. It'd be amazing. If nothing else a battle with Leviamon would be fucking awesome. He's supposed to be fucking massive, so battling him would be on quite an epic scale.

Of course thats true. Pokemon is WAY more popular so the kid/autist ratio is higher on the kid side, and autists are more intelligent than kids so it makes sense.

>>
>>25637171
For the first part of Adventure at least. 02 decided to take a more light-hearted turn that I personally cannot stomach for the life of me. It's strongest at the start and goes downhill from there, where it seems like they wrote the entire arc as they went.

That doesn't justify it, when more often than not they're direct recolors with no change to the actual design. The only pokemon to do that were the genies and they got their therian formes in the next game.

Also Ice Leomon evolving from Leomon while just being a recolor is just plain unacceptable
>>
Heh. I'm not good at musing for Digimon. I have done a lot of things involving the Seven Demon Lords, though. I played at them conquering the digi world with 8 digimon, each representing the 8 fields that digimon are classified by. It's the most convenient digimon grouping I could work with. I also had the intention of it corresponding to anti-versions of the 8 crests, but with some of the alignments changed since a couple of them are redundant.

The problem being the reason they dislike them.
Smash fans disliked brawl because it was slower and introduced tripping.
NSMB isn't particularly hated because they only happen once a system but they all feel very similar to each other and often the only really variation is a power up or two and Yoshi.
Skyward Sword is hated because it was extremely easy and linear unlike other zelda games the controls weren't exactly perfect either.

Seriously the only similarity is that you have to talk to enemies but in Undertale it's mandatory to talk them down to get the good ending where you can just go on a killing spree in SMT and get any of the multiple endings.

You've literally never played Undertale or SMT have you.

That's because they were spin offs of the Gen 3 games.

> It's clear Pokemon only became this way because "muh ideas ran out, let's just go nuts now k guiz?"

Yeah because the fact that they're making more original ideas than the gen 1 and 2 games means they're out of ideas. To top it off people were complaining about designs since Gen 3 it's not exactly a recent development.
>>

Reason why pokemon works better than digimon is because they don't tak nearly as much effort to put in another art style without looking fucking stupid. most look like they can actually function.

I want to get Cyber Sleuth but the female designs have just gone down the shitter. First the Jintrix card game, which I kind of get, it was for the desperate otakus. Making Rosemon submissive was bullshit though.

The character designer even talks about how he upped the fanservice elements. I want to play Cyber Sleuth with my little sister, also a Digimon fan, but having all that tits and ass in the same room with her... no.

Your little sister has probably see more boobs on TV and magazine, it's not because there is a handful of sexy digimon that she will be traumatized.

>completly usable
It's a cartoon. people could use their dick as hands. and unless it grows back after in under 10 seconds it doesn't matter because the attacker has probably removed it's head. The design doesn't function outside of digimon. Even maractus' pokedex entry highligts why it's design works. Maractus is prey, it makes noise by rocking back and forth to scare away predators, the spines are a last defense, because it is a plan it doesn't have to run or walk very often or far, hence the lack of feet.
Digimon is bad. 100% bad.

>but from what I have seen
Oh so you've never played Undertale at all, no wonder you think they're similar.

> From trying to be controversial (and failing) to the recruit system
Literally the only similarity there is that you talk to monsters, it carries none of the gameplay similarities.

> to how the battle menu is almost a copy paste of older SMT games
Oh you mean how it looks like almost every RPG ever that had attacks and such separated into categories?
Then there's the gameplay in it's entirety. That sets it apart in the sense that it's not really an RPG at all.

Meanwhile Cyber Sleuth's battle system is a near copy and paste of SMT's even down to how the reserves are placed when switching out.

I just don't think it's as great as everyone says it is, and convinced that the only reason they say it's great is because they can't go back to your simulators.

>simulators
What?
>>
>>25639573
It's better than using the game for high level battling.

>>25639594
But what do you mean "can't go back"?

There are some Digimon that really aren't over or underdesigned. Post your favorite among them.

More like they don't have the sense to go back to their simulators. The game does not matter to them, all they want to do is battle. It's better to cut out the middle man and get the best results in the process.

>>25639667
Okay so what does that have to do with Black and White 2 specifically?
>>
>>25639706
The same thing as all other "third" versions. Battle facilities. BW2 has the most of any other game.

Eh, Plat for sure.
Emerald is a toss up.

>>25637500
Except the story is kinda average, and they characters won't shut their fucking mouth.

Sometimes, I just play to see the next cinematic or something. Here, I just can't take their talking anymore. I just want to play some digimon fuck off nokia

I really dig Dorumon. Small wings to break the silhouette a bit, purple base-color, and the red thing on it's forehead to add some detail.

I also think most of In-Training and Baby forms are really underrated, some of them are great, while some are kind of lazy (Dodomon and Dorimon).
>>
>>25640258
A lot of the later ones are like that. The focus really moved to the Rookie forms and the lesser forms became more of an afterthought if they still exist.

Isn't Lilithmon just that chick from Final Fantasy X?

Pompadour lizard looks like it might pass as a fighting type

>>25634527
Weaponry aside, lots of Digimon have nice designs

Eh, only the waifu mon do.
The rest look like shit.

So you just have shit taste then?
That explains a lot.

Seriously though, they put most of their effort into the sex appeal rather than the other digimon.
>>
>>25640402
Shit like Veemon and Patamon are pretty gud imo.

But the sex shit is because they're a dying franchise trying to appeal to Japanese teenage boys
