Re: Cha~ange into digital champions! A Different LP.
Dude, did you forgot when TK and Patamon found all the babies?
P.S.: Back on the original island, back when they had all been seperated, you know?
Here, I found it, Epised 12 "DigiBaby Boom"

Takeru (T.K.) and Patamon end up in Primary Village, the place where all Digimon are born. There, they are confronted by Elecmon, the guardian of the baby Digimon. He fights Patamon, having mistaken the two for intruders. To avoid a fight, T.K. proposes that they settle the dispute with a tug-o-war. Patamon wins and earns Elecmon's respect and trust.

Re: Cha~ange into digital champions! A Different LP.
This is Botamon, Agumon's baby form from the first season. You were right though in that they weren't featured much, I watched through the first season earlier this year and only saw some of them once. They are definatly a thing that exists though.
Fun fact: in japan, the ranks are
Baby (baby)
Baby II (in-training)
Child (Rookie)
Adult (Champion)
Perfect (ultimate)
Ultimate (mega)
- ON TO THE LP!:
We begin by selecting the Dusk_boy. He will be the leader of our great team, the master of shadow, the master-to-be of all. Therefore, it's only fitting that he be named...
Yeeeesssssss.
Now to meet the team.
GOOSE the rabbit mon, she's pretty useful for the first half of the game, kinda loses usefullness later on but it's not that she becomes useless, there's just so much more choice. I'll be relying on her a lot though.
OVERLORD the SkullGreymon, he's a massive, walking nuclear silo an ee don't afraid of nothin'. He's also secretly the leader of everything ever, but ssshh
HANKY-P looks like he could star in a fighting game with his SICK COMBO ATTACKS and long reach.
Apparantally I thought it'd be more fun to have forumon names instead of computer puns, but it's all good. We shall be Team Quarantine. There's no team name option, that just sounds nice and threatening.
Julia is the leader of the Dark city, and her digimon is ChaosGallantmon. I think he's the dark version of Guilmon's mega form.
"the upper hand!
Our team is actually meant to be Night CLAW, but okay, crow is suitably creepy I guess.
Thriller ruins is where we are right now, as you can see by it being ruined and all. And wow that top screen sure is annoying. It pretty much stays useless for the whole game, so I'll probably cut it out from now on.
ChaosGallanmon there with a rousing speech. Of eviiiil!
"of three and begin training!"
"Farther in!"
Oh, hello NPCs I never bothered caring about in my last playthrough, what's up. That doesn't have a surprise noodle because I don't actually care.
Hey don't talk to me, I'm just a silent protagonist.
Because they won't be expecting us to be training for a tournament, oh no... Funnily enough though, this whole segment is missing from Dawn, so I assume that THEY weren't actually training, so this is probably a strangely fair point. I guess it's an evil thing to do?
I'm sure you won't need to try very hard.
"Farthest spot."
"is as far as we can go"
"you, newton!"
"I know that!"
And then explanations of how to fight are told, but I'll handle that, thank you very much.
WARNING TOP SCREEN IN USE!
Yes the battles! And I shall explain those... next time! After this short cliffhanger break.

Re: Cha~ange into digital champions! A Different LP.
You can't be overlord without convinient access to an arsenal of planet devestating weaponry, right? And you should wait and see who you'll digivolve into at mega, I think you'll be happy.
My guess to the text boxes would be due to the japanese origins, you can get a lot more out of such a small space in japanese than english. Japanese games also tend to have smaller text inputs than english games. It'll make screenshots go slowly if I continue like this, so during conversations when the current speaker changes, or something important is being explained.

Re: Cha~ange into digital champions! A Different LP.
Oh my, now I'm excited~
And yes, SkullGreymon fits me perfectly.
I think you're right, japanese text is usually much shorter, so the smaller boxes are less of a problem there.

Re: Cha~ange into digital champions! A Different LP.
If voting's still happening I want Dusk and either the Pretty Pack or the Attack Pack, with a slight preference towards Pretty.

Re: Cha~ange into digital champions! A Different LP.
Voting time is up now, but we went Dusk/ Attack anyway, so it's all good. And Drega, I do have a digimon in mind that I know I'll end up getting.
- Part 1B: Training time:
In the top screen on the left, we have the digimons turn order. This changes if someone gets slowed or hasted, stunned etc and also shows status effects beside the mon who has it, but for the most part it's a pretty decent indicator of who goes when. The top right has details of Team Qurantine, the HP, MP, Species type (the green symbols) and level. We start at level 20 - 35, OBVIOUSLY. There's also a far view of the battlefield. The battlefield consists of 5 columns each, for both the enemy and us. This battle only allows us to use the fight option for now, so I'll show that off later.
At the bottom screen, we have the current digimon's turn, in this case HANKY-P. We have 5 commands, 'fight' uses one of the mons moves to attack, with every attack costing MP, 'move' allows you to move someone either into another column or into reserve, 'item' allows use of healing/ mp/ attack items, defend allows you to defend either yourself or an ally, and flee attempts to flee the battle.
Now we've selected fight, we have a list of our attacks. The first 4 attacks will be those our mon has learnt naturally, while the fifth attack is dependant on the digimon. For example, Greymon will have Nova Blast, while MetalGreymon will have A missle attack. The top screen now also shows the strength, MP cost, attack element, description and range. This attack will hit one row at a time, but it can be used 3 times.
I only needed the 2
Species exp will be needed for certain digivolutions, for example aqua experience for aqua mons to digivovle into any mon with the requirement, but otherwise the experience all counts the same towards a level up. This barely scratched any of them.
I had 3 digimon, 1 rookie and 2 ultimates. You had what I'll guess is 1 Champion. I mean, GELAT is strong of course, but this is comparable to an iron boot vs an ant.
"Weak Direction."
"I said. Anyway, now it's my turn. Newton, step back! GELAT, now it's my turn!"
But then the screen shakes! Everyone is confused and the life of Dorothys' no doubt grander digimon is spared.
Vilemon suddenly appear in a flash of orange light that I wasn't fast enough to catch. But it's okay, these are our bros in evilness.
See, our traditional greeting.
...no-one said that, though.
"What's with this Vilemon!?"
Dorothy explains how to use items, but it's not important. The vilemon are trying to knock us down, and we must fight to protect ourselves.
To be nice to Overlord, I'll use a weaker attack and see if he can get a shot in.
The blue range means that the attack can only be used on those columns, but with a name like "Skull Destroy" and an effect of 101, I somehow trust we'll make do.
Missile launched, expected result: Ka-boom.
My bad, I probably shouldn't have knocked your defence unconcious earlier... oh well, I regret nothing.
"Can you report this to Chief Julia? GELAT... I'll stay with this idiot and wait here... I can't leave the injured behind."
Okay, I have a confession to make. We totally aren't the least bit evil. I mean WE are, Team Quarantine with such members as skellington based missile silo, a darker palette swap of a fighting game looking character and Gelatino, we have no choice but to be evil just for image sake, but our people aren't. Merely shadow-y and whiny. Kinda like Spiderman 3.
"GELAT, so will you go for us?"
I'm kinda liking Dorothy though, between calling Newton an idiot and telling him to stfu.
Here we are, we have control! The top screen will eventually be filled with a slightly more useful but still quite useless gimmick later. But look! The Team! They follows me!
The menu screen. The menu has different music that plays when you open it. It's actually really nice, have a listen Here.
On the top screen, bits are money. Relief digimon are 3 extra digimon we can keep in the back for emergencies, and they gain exp at the same rate as the active mons. Pretty handy. Items, Quests and save are self explanatory, Tamer info holds the player stats and the digimon version of the pokédex. Digimon is the important bit though.
Personality isn't really important, as far as I know it only affects if you can get certain sidequests with certain digimon. Type is really only an indicator at what the digimon specilises in and thier role. Traits are passive abilities digimon possess, and like many things change depending on the digimon is.
The rest is easy to figure out, except Aptitude.
The Aptitude is the maximum level a digimon can reach without digivolving or degenerating. Each time a digimon digivolves, their aptitude raises. This means that it can be pretty difficult to, for example, play the game on a no-digivolve run, since that limits what level you can reach.
Spirit raises both attack and defence, as well as raising thier stat growths per level, so it's pretty important.
I can't really remember much about equipment. I bought and used swords and armor and stuff, but except for EXP boosters I never gave it too much thought.
S.EXP shows how much species experience you've accumulated, which will help a lot when you need a certain amount to get a certain form.
Digivolution route is the fun bit.
The top left is the current form and the top right is the highlighted form and the requirements needed to get there. but that's not the most exciting bit.
Look at all the potential Hanky-P has. He has the potential to go through 3 entirely different digivolution routes to a mega form, not including 2 routes that don't end in a mega form. And one of those routes is Etamon/ Metaletamon, one of my favourite villains.
Here's gooses line. She only has the one route, since she's the mascot, but they look pretty cool, especially the champion form, and one will eventually learn a multi-column healing move, which saved the teams life more times than I can remember on my last game.
With Overlord, well... the bad news is, you only get 2 mega forms to choose from. The good news? His alternate mega is Blackwargreymon.
The better news? Behold Skullgreymons mega evolution:

Oh shit, OJ's a mech.
And I'm glad your explanations are so in-depth, because for my eyes the UI is so cluttered with info that I have a hard time registering anything useful. Seriously, who put all those distracting colors and patterns on every texture??

Re: Cha~ange into digital champions! A Different LP.
I'm glad you enjoyed my explanations Drega, wasn't sure if anyone was going to be interested in them. Yeah it can be confusing but I'm used to it now. It's part of the digimon charm I guess. I've no idea whether the Dawn colours are easier to looks at either, I've not played that for any great length of time.
Machinedramon looks so good in that picture. In fact they all do, whoever worked on the art did a good job.
You can also be the werewolf who happens to be a blue/ white guy. He looks less evil though, so we'll stick with shadowweregarurumon. His combo attacks have set a good precedent.

Man, I can't decide who I'd rather digivolve into.
Machinedramon is awesome but BlackWargreymon is also awesome.

Re: Cha~ange into digital champions! A Different LP.
You don't get to decide, you are the pawn of Gelatino. I mean GELAT. Also more of a Rook, more useful than a pawn.
Though I have no idea who SWGarurumon's mega is, so I might go metal instead anyway.

- Part 2: Rescue:
Last time on Digimon, digital monsters...
Newton dun Goofed and Team Qurantine had some minor nuisences to take care of.
Apparentally no-one except me actually 'cheated' and trained up mons to the point they outshine the local yokals. The dudes in distress call out for help.
"Night Crow!"
Why are the girls of NightcrowClaw the only ones with spines? Not including GELAT?
And then she explains how to move digimon around the field. BATTLE GET!
Oh no, two of them, whatever shall I do? Although Dorothy did bring up a good point, I forgot to explain Support abilities. These are Traits that only have effect on the digimon that one is next to in battle. In the aboev example, OVERLORD is giving a defence boost to HANKY-P and GOOSE since he's in the middle, while HANKY-P is giving an attack boost only to OVERLORD since he's on the right. This can be useful, but has a downside in that being so bunched up can allow attacks with a multi column range to potentially strike 2 or more mons at a time.
I allow the enmy to survive long enough to get a look at GOOSE's techniques, a little weaker overall because she's only rookie right now, but her 4th attack comes with built in HP drain, so that's handy.
She accomplishes this by sticking him with... a needle? GOOSE, you're crazy. That doesn't kill him though, so HANKY-P unleashes some more SICK COMBOS and ends the round with on a perfect.
"Started Attacking."
"if you hadn't come."
What would that have consisted of, throwing your mushroom digimon at it and hoping it got food poisening, or started tripping? Yes, his digimon is a mushroom. This will come back to bite him pretty soon, if I remember right.
There we go, at least this guy knows whats up. Gutts then backpedals and apologies and says sorry. HANKY-P then unleashes a sick uppercut on him and we never hear from him again.
Not really :(We need to start getting ready to write an angry letter to Wild digimon inc. Apprantly, I'm the man for the job.
"The vilemon appeared as if they were being controlled by something..."
Well at least the boss is competent. Julia wonders if everyone else made it alright. A valid concern, really. She then spots something ont he other side of the area
It laughs...
...and then teleports away.
Gosh darn it to Heck! Strange, I'm sure someone swore just a little bit earlier. Why is damn so bad?
Everyone gathers together except Gutts who was previously Shoryuken'd in the face. They again discuss how the Vilemon looked like they were being controlled.
"We're the ultimate tamer team... NightcrowClaw!"
Well, Julia and GELAT are, which is all you need, really.
Anyway, vilemon are weak and useless, so gallantmon gets bored and starts talking about the normal rank tournament coming up. The one we were illegally training for before everyone else wet thier pants at basic combat against basic mooks who weren't even in control of their own bodies. Go Night Claw!
Also, this is the team we're up against, if I didn't specify that before. Fang and Claw.
This is the name of our city. I'm sure you can see why I like it so much.

Re: Cha~ange into digital champions! A Different LP.
- The Tournament:
"You're the winner of Group A of the Normal Tournament. Don't waste it. GELAT, let's hurry!"
The top screen becomes useful and shows off the tournament round currently in session, and it seems Gutts has decided that mushroom > divine entity. Maybe HANKY-P's 'Spinning Bird Kick' impaired his judgement, I don't know. No doubt he'll come out victorious, no doubt at all.
"You're always this way! Really GELAT... Take beinga Night Claw more seriously! The Light Fang will laugh at you!"
Well, a hello to you, too
"over yet. Gutts! You'd better win no matter what! Take that Light Fang Koh and crush him! Go Mushroomon! You can win!"
Why is Newton encouraging the guy with a concussion and a mushroom over the guy with the common sense to train more than 1 digimon to a higher rank than champion?
Also, you may have spotted DAWN_BOY in the top screen. Remember when I said he's the canon Dawn character? Well, he'll be interacting with us a few times. In Dawn it would be Sayo, the DUSK_GIRL. This bodes well for Gutts' chances of success.
Newton decides we don't have time to cheer for this loser, anyway, and tells me to follow him to the waiting room. I decide to ignore him and walk back to the entrance, leave this place and take my rightful place upon the ashes of Union City while everyone is here watching the tournament.
"Supposed to be!"
Drat, foiled again!
I talk to this turtle guy in a chill, 'i don't care' way by looking out over the edge whie he talks. he says this thing
Informative.
This ogremon says something relevent in that the two teams are actually part of the same union but seperated into dusk and dawn. We're being played against each other maaan, it's a conspiracy!
As well as blocking this random teleporter we'll never use, this starmon also openly roots for the other guy.
These guys are the light fang counterparts of our idiots. This guy has a point, but it was supposed to be Night Claw!
Agumon and Gabumon come to wish us luck. Shucks!
We've let everyone wait long enough anyway, so we go meet them in the waiting room.
Apparentally I'm up next int he tournament and Julia wishes me luck. ChaosGallantmon congratulates me on winning the group A fight beforehand.
"just a bit more..."
"that problem!"
Eh, no comment. Gutts is an easy target ever since that totally anonymous wolf fang fist to his bodily person.
The 2 girls quickly remind Ponch that he lost too so he can't really insult Gutts.
"You guys are such buddies to lost to the same opponent!"
"that tamer too."
Apparently everyones such buddies to lost tot he same guy. Anyway, everyone gives me the "Believe in the you who believes in yourself! That's what Gurren Lagann is all about!!" speech, and I feel all warm inside yadda yadda. I can't actually go until I leave the waiting room for some reason.
HANKY-P, it was totally your fault.
"This is GELAT of Night Claw who will be in the finals."
This is Julia's Dawn counterpart, they're just talking about how great I am.
"a ways to go."
"of light fang, the group B champion, your opponent."
Everyone is very polite to each other and we all get in. It is very civil, and you only resort to name calling once.
Anyway Julia says to go back to the waiting room, and I head up the ramp to the stage.
Aye aye, stranger!
Again, Night Crow encourages me to win, and the dialogue is kinda repetitive by now. I'm sure if I got a penny (Or a cent) for every time someone wished me luck, I'd have a whole pound (or a dollar) by now. Look at my adoring fans though, which includes a devil. I love dusk version.
Um well, maybe later, but we have a tournament to fight first
This is the first battle that you can actually lose, since Koh actually trained 3 mons to a decent level. Also the mascot. Although it depends on what pack you pick, some have mixes of ultimates and champions. We have 2 ultimates, so we shuoldn't have any problems. We start off with HANKY-P Hitting Angemon twice and Coronamon once, followed by OVERLORD's Skull destroy.
Despite almost losing GOOSE, it went well enough, and a quick finish move by HANKY-P that ended in a critical secured our victory. A winner is Team Quarantine!
"congratulations... GELAT of Night Claw. You beat me this time, but it won't happen again next time!"
Like 3 people referred to me as GELAT of night claw. Might be the way japanese sentences are constructed.
Anyway, we'll bask in our glory for a while. Till next time! Same digi-time, same digi-channel!

Re: Cha~ange into digital champions! A Different LP.
I don't know, I'd guess that the translators thought it was 'Crow' because of the L/R situation in japanese where they're really hard to distinguish, and thought Crow was right because it's a dark bird and kinda creepy, so perfect for a dark team name, not realising there's a potential connection to the Light Fangs. Tbh I have no actual evidence that it's meant to be Claw except for what a guy wrote on a forum I read, but it just makes too much sense to not be. When I first played the game I even asked myself 'Why Crow?'
