The Big Move....Maybe

Hey, all! This is just a post to say I'm going to be trying out making video logs for a little while. Not sure how long I might do it, but I think it'll be a fun experiment. Hope you like this first one! :)

Introducing Renji & the Gang!

Hey, all! Been quite a long time, but I thought I would drop in and say hello. :P

Today, we got a new friend! Introducing Renji the Version 1!

The first picture is of him as I have him, and the second was the seller's image. You might notice that he's got a Digital Monster Version 3 case and background. This, I assume, was the sellers doing, and made me want him because I liked the novelty. This, unfortunately, means that his sound wires were cut, so our dear Renji is a mute. But we love him anyway. :)

Digital Monster Version 1 (Japanese)


Name: Renji
Species: Koromon
Level: Baby II
Age: 0 Weight: 10g

You might have guessed, but his name comes from the way the Japanese pronounce "orange" (like "or-en-gee"), which I felt was appropriate since I now have an American V1 and a Japanese V1. I thought it would also be fitting to try and start up these logs with a brand new Digimon to follow.


Others

I won't get too far into everyone else I have going at the moment (I've got most of them on pause), but I will give them a little spotlight:

Leon (original V4) - Piximon/Piccolomon
Raku (original V2) - Vademon
Penn (original V3) - Patamon
Digital Monster Version 20th (Red./Brown) - Greymon (special egg) & BaoHackmon.

I have managed to raise quite a lot of monsters in the past few months, and I also need to tell you about some of the new V-Pets and Tamas I've got/ordered since we last spoke:

- Digital Monster Ver. 20th (Alphamon Color)
- Tamagotchi P1 (green/white) --There's a story behind this one that I'll tell at another time.--
- Wonderswan & Digital Monster Ver. Wonderswan (Yes, not strictly a V-Pet, but I got the thing solely for the purpose of playing that game. ^^')
- Ordered (not here yet) the new Digimon Pendulum Ver. 20th, one of each color. VERY excited for those ones. X)
- Renji, obviously. :P

And with Renji came a couple of little manuals I got from the same site for pretty cheap. Here there are:

Love them! X)

Anyhow, for those wondering what happend to Shen and Long, they did indeed become Slayerdramon and Breakdramon. They jogressed to Examon, and became Shenlong! Since then, I've managed to raise an Omegamon and Alphamon, as well as a number of other guys.

I also participated in the second D-1 tournament, but didn't make it past the second round. :/

Well, that's it for now. I'll try and keep you updated more regularly! ^^'

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
