Digimon World 3 was better especially when it came to how the digivolutions worked

[Id]

I DNA digivolved one of my favorite pairings ExVeemon and Stingmon only to find out I lose one of them permanently if i were to devolve Paildramon. WTF IS THAT BS?!

In Digimon World 3 every DNA digivolution was temporary and always split the digimon back apart, which was cool and made the increase in power not make the game feel too easy or cheap (it was still cheap lol).

Also, digivolving in general midbattle was just cool and made the game more fun. Letting the digimon stay permanently in Champion, Ultimate or Mega just makes it feel like Pokemon and Digimon wasn't like that.

DNA Digivolving was trash late game in DMW3. It was a gimmick to help get you going in the beginning of the game, but once you ended up with some strong ultimates or megas, it became pointless.

DMW3 also had a whack ass digivolution system. In the beginning, it made sense. You had Agumon get Greymon and Metal Greymon, and Guilmon go to Growlmon and Wargrowlmon. All good, right?

But then you unlocked actual rookie forms. So even if you chose Guilmon as your starter, you could digivolve him into Agumon and learn Agumon's entire digivolution tree. What does this mean?

There were no unique digimon. You have 3 digimon in your party that could all be WarGreymon if you wanted it to be. Which means your starters have no meaning or personality or any type of uniqueness to them.

I'm hoping that's not the case in this game.

Sort of. In this game, digimon families are based on the baby form. There is some cross-over with mid-stage forms, so with enough finagling, you could turn any one digimon into any other. It would take a lot of work though, and for the most part they stay within their respective families.

You know the game warns you before you dna evolve right ? i am kinda fine whit sacreficing a digimon for it really doesnt bother me al that much you can get another one fo it by just battling it ove rand over again take sjusta couple once you have them registered and you can make ti faster by having the resaerch usb then lv em up whit platinumnumemon and technician usbs i even went so far in my game where i fused 2 chaosmon which concludes 2 bacnholeomon 1 darkdramon and 1 whatever that ugly bird is called again that requires 40 abi to get instead of phoenixmon just to have 2 diffrent versions of the same digimon and they are 100% more worth it then the trash i used to digivolve em whit

At least these ones are can't say the same for every fusion like examon he really is trash wish it had waay more stats as it took me much longer to get that one then these 2 fusion combined at kowloon 5 wish is a horrible farmign spot and i got examon at the end of cybersleuth where i can lv 1 digimon straight to 50-52 in 1 battle but at least i got him in my field guide now examon is kinda only good if you want a crit build


but yes it is kinda stupid you have to essentially load a digimon for your fusion (while the story characters don't have to deal whit it) but the game warns you before you do it so dont bother lveling the loaded digimon up all the way as far as i tested it doesnt rly change the fusion their stats which i wish it did but sadly it doesnt as examon had pretty poor stats when both breakdramon and slayerdramon where 99 and omnimon zwart whit a lv 1 wargreymon black and a lv 99 metalgarurumon had more stats then the examon or somwhere about the same stats at least but his int penetrating move makes him better then examon.

I just spent a lot of time digivolving and devolving Tokomon just so i can have the right ability stat to get Lucemon. Also, leveled it all the way to lvl 66 so i could have the stat requirements. I gave it some kind of feed that gave it 40 def stat since i needed 130 in total.

Right now i have my team of Sistermon Ciel and Blanc, Lucemon with Paildramon in my reserve so i can use the Hack Skill to force encounters and swap him in and out when necessary.

I'm trying to get the lvl 60 digivolution for Ciel and Blanc, but even if i maxed them out they won't have all the stat requirements...

Many evolutions, usually some mega, ultra or special ones such as Lucemon FM, requires you to add bonus points to stats. I recall of being able to just evolve both sistermons into their awakened form by simply leveling them near 99, but this doesn't work always for others, such as Lucemon FM, which imho is one of the worst to attain due to the ridiculous atk and speed requirements the game asks in order to evolve into its FM form.

My Ciel's max level was 65 and Blanc's was 66. I gave up and just digivolved Ciel into Ladydevimon and I digivolved Blanc into Gargomon. I used all the digimon in my bank to help level Tokomon into my Lucemon and that included my Wargrowlmon, Gargomon and Kyuubimon. So i'm slowly getting my Season 3 team back together lol.

I got Growlmon in the back along with Gargomon and I plan on turning Ladydevimon into Kyuubimon when I learn all her skills. I might just keep Ladydevimon since her Special Move wrecks digimon. Especially if I use it before or after Lucemon's Grand Cross special move if he didn't kill them already lol.

Since you are going to keep ladydevimon, I treally advice to evolve her into Lilithmon later one, she is one of the most powerful digimons out there, thanks to her signature int-pierce skills.

Btw it's always good to evolve multiple times your digimon, even if you aren't following its "true" evolution tree, as this way not only you increase its ABI and max level, but also obtain many different skills.

There's just a lot of options that sometimes make me wish that digimon only went their "true" digivolution so I could just pick and choose the ones I liked without worrying about having stat requirements just to get them.

It doesn't help that the Field Guide is basically a Pokedex that makes me want to complete it. That's why i've been digivolving the digimon I didn't care for into any and everything. Like right now I have all the In Training except 1 where i have to beat Hacker's Memory just to get it. Same situation for the In Training II and Rookie Digimon. Missing a lot of champions, Ultimates and I only have the 5 NX Digimon for Megas.

To each its own. I'm happy with this choice tbh, at least you can have more option to learn skills and whatnot, without following the ridiculous evolution process dw3 had.

The only thing I'd wish was that evolution worked as in 3, in the sense that you could freely evolve mid battle once unlocked.

These games arent even from the same series as World 3. how it works there is irrelevant.
