Digimon would be super easy to make a live-action movie out of because you don't have to fit any specific storyline to film. You can just make a Digimon movie.

And it's probably best you don't try to adapt a particular series because.

Like.

You could. I'm sure it would be possible to squeeze Digimon Adventure, for example, into a series of four consecutive films. Devimon movie, Etemon movie, Vamdemon/Myotismon movie, Dark Masters & Apocalymon movie.

You could do that.

But it would have to be radically different to account for the 2-3 year production gap between films. Your actors are aging. That is the reality of live-action filmmaking. These kids wouldn't be gone for a couple months of compressed time; They'd be missing for eight to twelve years. You cannot tell this story and not account for that.

Why do digimon all end in -mon? Probably the same reason all tamagotchi's end in -tchi.

Why were there originally 5 levels named Baby I, Baby II, Child, Adult and Perfect in Digimon? Because its a tamagotchi spinoff and Tamagotchi has five life stages, Baby, a second Baby stage, a Child Stage, an Adult Stage and a Hidden Adult Stage.

Why are Numemon, Raremon and Sukamon all at the same level? Why do they all throw poop for an attack? Why DO digimon poop all the time? Because V-Pet care mechanics.

Why is Vademon's attack a Kiss? Why do Angemon, Devimon, Ogremon and Leomon all have punching attacks? Why is Digitamamon's attack have a heart? Why does Vegimon of all digimon also throw poop? So many metal perfects with missile attacks? Why do Biyomon and Gabumon use Fire Attacks? Why do Betamon, Gazimon and Elecmon all use Electric Attacks? Why are there a bunch of little guys who are also perfects? Because the original V-pet's are all just reskins of each other, and that includes their attack animations.

Why are digimon divided into Data, Virus, Vaccine instead of anything more complex. Probably because it originates in the V-pets and anything more complex would over-complicate a V-pet system.

Why are digimon classified by their habitat? Why are these habitat groups named things like "Deep Savers" and "Nightmare Soldiers" because that's how the 2nd generation of V-Pets were marketed.

What's with the digivices? Aside from being the signature toy for the franchise, V-pet but now season specific.

Why are Digieggs such a recurring thing in digimon? Why do digimon reincarnate? Because Tamagotchi spinoff part of the point of it is that eventually they die so a new one can be born and grow in a different way. The reversible evolution mechanics of the rest of the franchise are milder way of exploring this without integrating constant death into the storyline.

Why are so many digimon recolors? Well actually that ones not because of the V-Pets but because of the video games.

Something I've heard from some reviews (such as the IGN review by a "lapsed" Digimon fan who fell out after the anime as a kid) is that the game seems to actually be shaping up to not just be a good "Digimon" game, but generally a great rpg in its own right. The distinction is actually pretty important here- Cyber Sleuth for instance is a great Digimon game, but it does have elements that kind of bog it down compared to other RPGs like Dragon Quest 11.

It should be noted from other reviews as well that the game basically works off of Cyber Sleuth and basically makes things better or more efficient. Basically they took what works for CS and made it better, which I think is a very smart move.

It is also apparently beginner friendly from what I'm seeing!

Combine that with BAMCO essentially reaching out to more niche content creators (such as Karn Ex or Gym Leader Ed) to try out the games before hand and actually doing HOMEWORK on them? They really want the game to do pretty well.

Like they even have an English dub. Cyber Sleuth, Hacker's Memory, and Survive didn't even have that.

Kris talks. They chatter, even, but we as the player don't get to hear it. They don't get a text box. We only ever know that they spoke at all from the reactions of other characters, and even then, we rarely know exactly what was said.

And part of this is that whoever the deltarune narrator is seems intent to pretending like kris doesn't exist. You check the mirror, and it says, "it's only you". Kris plays the piano and it says, "your hands begin moving on their own." If kris speaks without your permission, the narration doesn't acknowledge it at all, committed to the lie that kris doesn't exist beyond their role as our vessel. But that's not what this post is about.

thank you mr. fox for ten glorious years of being attracted to butchy fish women. here's to another ten
