Alas, Poor Leon, Poor Pendragon! :(

We knew them well...

Yes, indeed, our poor intrepid pair did not last the week. I believe I made too many care mistakes for them to evolve past adult, and so they lived to the ripe old age of 10 before a busy evening when I forgot to pause them. They died within hours of each other. :( I could hear the beeps, but do nothing for them...

The first to go was Leon...

Rest in peace, boys....our time together was all too short!

And so we will let the Blue/Gray Version 20th rest in peace for a while. We'll hop back over to the Red/Brown Version 20th, and we'll be going for a new jogress evolution with our two new Digimon partners, Shen & Long! (Yes, it is very much a pun, but it will pay off if we can get them to jogress. :P )

Digital Monster Ver. 20th (Brown/Red)

Name(s): Shen & Long
Species: Babydmon
Level: Baby II
Age: 0 Weight: 10g

I started up our brown/red Ver. 20th, which I last raised Zen the Durandamon on, and selected the Coredramon (Blue) and Coredramon (Green) eggs.

They hatched rather quickly, and we were on our way! Hi, Shen and Long! 

I somehow always forget that their evolution time is shortened by quite a lot---I'm always expecting that it will take an hour. But ten minutes passed and they evolved into Babydmon! 

And that is how we ended the night! (They were born last night, I simply wasn't able to finish this post then.)

Today, I had them asleep for most of the day, so they've been pretty quiet. and as I'll be out and about again, it might be a little while before we get them to child stage. ^^'

I have a little bonus fella to show all you guys, though! Over on With the Will Digimon forums, there is a guy who has an alpha version of a PC V-pet out, and it's already looking really awesome! If you want to go check it out for yourself, you can do that here. 

You can raise multiple Digimon, but I'm going to take it slow and just do one for now. :) Meet Zeke!

DV-pet Alpha

Name: Zeke
Species: Punimon
Type: N/A
Level: Baby I
Age: 0 Weight: 18g

Favorite Time of Day: Noon 

Favorite Food: Meat

Favorite Attribute: Data

As you can see, this PC V-pet has LOTS of different variables attributed to the pet you're currently raising. It has favorite things, can end up refusing to do what you want it to if it's enthusiasm is too low, and lots of other things. (Read the thread on that forum if you want to know more.) So this little guy is going to be a lot more nuanced than most virtual pets I've raised. Should be exciting! You'll hear about him from time to time, though the main focus will still be on our new dragon pair. 

Anywho, that's all for now! Take it easy, gang! :)

Returning & Remembering

Well, hey, all! It has been quite a long time! ^^' Suffice it to say, things have been rather busy. What with my religious, employment, and other responsibilities, I've been rather tied up. I've tried to refrain from doing too much with my Digimon 20th Versions, so that I wouldn't leave you guys out, but there will be some things to update you on. 

I'll start off by sharing a bit of artwork of my current partners! It is a tad bit out of date, as I was planning to put it up the other day, and between then and now, the stinkers evolved on me. :P So consider this is sort of a "snapshot" of the pair from the other night. Everyone, I would like you to meet Leon & Pendragon!

Leon & Pendragon Sleeping! X)

Digital Monster Ver. 20th (Blue/Gray)

Name: Leon
Species: BaoHackmon
Level: Adult (Champion)
Age: 4 Weight: 20g
Single Battle: 0% Win (No Battles)
Tag Battle: 100% Win



Name: Pendragon
Species: Unimon
Level: Adult (Champion)
Age: 4 Weight: 30g
Single Battle: 0% Win (No Battles)
Tag Battle: 100% Win

I don't really have an explanation for the name Leon---I just thought it would be cool. :P Pendragon (Perhaps Penn for short?), though, is in honor of our dearly departed Arthur, who was one of the guys we started this blog out with. I'll be aiming to raise him into a Mega-level HiAndromon by the end of this run, so that should be fun. :)

An ironic thing I noticed about the two when they were Hackmon and Patamon---Penn weighed 20g as a Patamon while Leon weighed only 15g as a Hackmon! Chubby little guy, Penn is. :P

They evolved this morning, but for some reason Leon was quicker about it and evolved when I wasn't looking, while Penn took his sweet time--which let me catch him when he did it. :J Probably had to do with the fact that one evening this week, Leon woke up from a nap I'd put them on and was up for a whole hour before going back to sleep, while Penn slept on. Crazy night owl!

Memorial (Digital Monsters Ver. 20th)

Here, I would like to remember the partners who have gone on to the "Megalithic Mainframe". (For those of you who get the reference. :P ) You might be curious to know if I participated in the online D-1 Grand Prix hosted by Bandai a few months ago. I did indeed participate, but I did not get very far. Thankfully, I made it past the first round, but that was as far as I got. ^^' Here's the screenshot of where I fell in the bracket (outlined in red):

Yes, indeed! The partners I entered for this tournament were Bean and Rusty! :P

Bean eventually evolved into Aegisdramon, and then RustTyrannomon, jogressing with a copy of Rusty's data. I unfortunately did not get any pictures, so a recreation of the LCDs of each of them will have to suffice...

Cosmo & Bean

Duke & Wulf

And another guy who I raised for a while on his own, Zen the Durandamon!

Zen

Well, folks, that'll be it for now! Until next time! :D
