Which game do I pick first?

[RedOcean]

If I choose the regular game does my save data carry over into Hacker's memory? Or do I only need to play Hacker's memory?

I want to play the original then Hacker's memory but I'd like save data to carry over. Is that possible? Thanks!

u play the OG first. then once u beat both u can transfer digimon between the games.

Right one is the first game released (japanese like going from right to left in games). But both have now have the same amount of digimon. And the story takes place at the same time. So doesn't really matter anymore.

Cyber Sleuth first, Hacker's Memory second, though it would be possible to bounce between them as well (I'm not sure the would-be optimal times to switch though).

CS is the original story. HM is a side story. CS is in my opinion better written and HM makes a lot of throwbacks to CS as a type of fan service. Previously HM was "the better game", but that mainly had to do with engine upgrades that I'm pretty sure have all been backported to CS, putting it back on top.

HM has better mechanics and endgame.

Unless you're talking about very specific things HM shouldn't have better mechanics in this version since the actual battle stuff has been changed in CS to reflect HM's differences

Unless you mean HM having better field skills and the domination battles, which I doubt got put in CS

Either way, all the more reason to play CS first lol, something to look forward to later
