Nyaromon EX5-003 by YAMURETSU from EX-05 Theme Booster Animal Colosseum

This card shows Nyaromon and Pabumon, which were the baby stages in the original Pendulum Progress 3.0 Animal Colosseum, along with Gigimon and Puttimon from the other two Pendulum Progress lines.

Dorugamon digivolved to DoruGreymon, and Bearmon is now Leomon X (dear god who gave him kNIVES-)

Monochromon is now a bitey little MameTyrannomon! Really love the sprites, they're such a little gremlin

Beelzemon: BM, after claiming his crown, passed away peacefully 😔

Haven't raised the Metal Empire egg yet, so lets go!

Kapurimon's sprites are so great. 10/10 Top Tier

Kapurimon digivolved into Kokuwamon this afternoon! (They're setting up a carnival next to where i work, thought the ferris wheel made for a good background)

Bonus: my gf unearthed my her old pocket neopet

Hawkmon EX5-035 by YAMURESTU from EX-05 Theme Booster Animal Colosseum

This card features Hawkmon playing with the other two rookies from the original Pendulum Progress 3.0 Animal Colosseum, Gabumon and Bearmon!

Like I've mentioned before, EX-03 Draconic Roar, EX-05 Animal Colosseum, and EX-06 Infernal Ascension are based on the Pendulum Progress vpets from 2002. Animal Coloseum kept the name as is, Draconic Roar was Dragon's Roar, and Infernal Ascension replaced the name Armageddon Army. (A very understandable name change)

A large percentage of the Digimon featured in the Pendulum Progress versions were included in the respective card sets. Many of those who weren't included had similar replacements.

As the name suggests, Draconic Roar included many Digimon related to dragons. Since many main character Digimon fall into that category, frequently featured Digimon such as the Greymon line were exluded. This set's Agumon is yellow and the suggested line goes to Veedramon and AeroVeedramon, reminiscent of the V-Tamer manga. Veemon is red in this set, and instead of the usual Ex-Veemon we get Fladramon, along with purple Wormmon and Shadramon, going into a dark Imperialdramon line. Instead of Tyrannomon and MetalTyrannomon, we have DarkTyrannomon and ExTyrannomon too. This set also featured many dragon Digimon that have debuted since the Pendulum Progress, such as Dracomon and its two lines, and the Vorvomon and Jazamon lines from Digimon Links.

The Pendulum Progress Animal Colosseum contains many beast Digimon, notably the Four Sovereigns. The card set expanded on that and not only included the Four Sovereigns, but also their leader Fanglongmon, as well as all 12 Deva serving under them. Like the vpet, this set also featured many X Antibody Digimon, although many of them were switched in the card set. Such as Leomon being included instead of Leomon X, or Dobermon X instead of Dobermon. We also got the card debut of Lunamon and Coronamon and their respective lines, as well as the player chatacters from their debut games Digimon Dusk/Moonlight and Dawn/Sunburst!

Infernal Ascension has a dual theme of Angels and Demons. While the Pendulum Progress included all Three Great Angel, there was only room for two Demon Lords. For the card set all Seven Great Demon Lords got featured (and also received matching alt arts!) Many of the replacements also make sense. Instead of Terriermon and Siesamon we got Lopmon and Turuiemon leading into Antylamon. While Tsukaimon works as a replacement of Patamon in style, it isn't in the Angel lines. The role is instead filled by Luxmon, a very recent addition to the Digimon franchise. Same goes for ArkhaiAngemon taking MagnaAngemon's spot, and Dominimon finally getting recognition! The addition of Mastemon is just perfect for this set too. We also get some holy-themed Digimon from the chinese game New Century for the first time!

So yeah
