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! :)

Blue Dragon, Green Dragon

Hey, all! Just a quick update on our little digital buddies. :) Here's a little sketch I did of them in their current forms! (In the style of the Digimon V-Tamer comic, of course. :P)

Digital Monster Ver. 20th (Brown/Red)




Name: Shen
Species: Coredramon (Blue)
Level: Adult
Age: 5 Weight: 20g
Single Battle: 100%
Tag Battle: 100%




Name: Long
Species: Coredramon (Green)
Level: Adult
Age: 5 Weight: 20g
Single Battle: 87%
Tag Battle: 100%

It was definitely a relief to be able to tell them apart once they evolved to their adult level this morning! ^^' I had to pause them most of the day the other day, so that would be why they took so long to evolve. I had them battle a number of double battles together, and some single battles (Long got a little unlucky on one of his battles, which is why his win percentage is lower.) Now the hard part---making sure I don't accidentally neglect them! XP

DV-pet Alpha

Name: Ven
Species: Goblimon
Type: Virus
Level: Child
Age: 1 Weight: 25g
Favorite Time of Day: Noon
Favorite Food: Fish
Favorite Attribute: Vaccine

So....Zeke did not last. ^^' The game apparently does not stop once you exit, and I was only able to come back to it periodically. I did discover a pause feature, but unfortunately you can't leave it paused and close it. I started a new game and had it run on the faster in-game clock mechanic to get our new little guy past baby level. He has thusfar managed to survive to child level, so we'll see how far we can go with him. Here's hoping!

Anyhow, that's all for now. Catch you guys later! :)

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 It is a tad bit out of date, as I was planning to put it up the other day, and between then and now, the stinkers evolved on me.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

RIP Ace & Rusty...

Well, there certainly has been a lot going on. I regret to inform you that Ace and Rusty have indeed passed away. They did have a long life, though---reaching about 17 and 16 respectively. Rusty passed while I was busy with something I was in charge of yesterday evening, and Ace passed right before I went to bed last night. May they find peace in the Megalithic Mainframe.

Digital Monster Ver. 20th (Brown/Red)

Name: Duke
Species: Babydmon
Level: Baby II
Age: 0 Weight: 10g


Name: Wulf
Species: Tsunomon
Level: Baby II
Age: 0 Weight: 10g

After his death sequence, Ace left me an egg! I assume Rusty did the same, though I did not get to see it. This must mean I took good care of them, if my experience with other Tamagotchi and Digimon is anything to go off of. I was able to select 3 new eggs, pictured below. I selected the black egg with cracks in it, as I knew this was a Dracomon egg. I'll raise a Hackmon and Zubamon egg at some point, too, but I really like Dracomon. :) I also think it appropriate to rechristen our baby Digimon. It took a while to settle on some names, but I finally have decided to go with Duke and Wulf (after Beowulf). They're pretty on-the-nose names, but you should probably expect that sort of thing of me by now. :P I'm hoping that Wulf will grow up to be CresGarurumon so that Cosmo and he will be able to become Omegamon Alter-S.

Digital Monster Ver. 20th (Blue/Gray)

Name: Cosmo
Species: BlitzGreymon
Level: Ultimate (Mega)
Age: 9 Weight: 50g
Single Battle: 87% Win
Tag Battle: 87% Win

Name: Bean
Species: Megadramon
Level: Ultimate (Mega)
Age: 9 Weight: 50g
Single Battle: 91% Win
Tag Battle: 87% Win

These guys have grown quite a bit in the interem! ^^' I'm still waiting on Bean to evolve to Aegisdramon, at which point I'll use Rusty's data (which I copied to Cosmo & Bean's device) to evolve Bean to RustTyrannomon---a very appropriate last tribute to Rusty. :P

That's all for now, folks! Till next time.

They Grow Up So Fast!

Whew! Ace and Rusty have grown rather quickly compared to a regular Digimon, but I've had to have them paused (which means I use the 3-hour sleep feature a few times while I'm at work) during which time they do not grow. It's been really fun to raise the version 5 Digimon (Rusty's current line), and to see some of the new Digimon Bandai added via the internal battle mode. It's also been fun to battle them online as they've evolved! X) (More on that later.)

Ace and Rusty in their current forms. 

Digital Monster Ver.20th

Name: Ace
Species: Mamemon
Level: Perfect
Age: 5 Weight: 6g
Single Battle: 84% Win
Tag Battle: 89% Win

Name: Rusty
Species: MetalTyrannomon
Level: Perfect
Age: 4 Weight: 41g
Single Battle: 87% Win
Tag Battle: 89% Win

We've got to about 61/71 total single battles and 34/38 tag battles. (Yeah, we've run up against some tough customers, but sometimes it only takes switching who is the vanguard and who is the rear guard.) I'll confess, I was worried that these two weren't going to evolve at all, but hopefully we'll see these guys all the way to Ultimate/Mega. :) For a while, they were Tyrannomon and DarkTyrannomon, and it was cool to have that "twin" set, but I'm excited to see them progress.

Just some pics I snapped of their progress. :)

And as I mentioned, I was able to get some snapshots of Ace and Rusty as they battled their way through their online opponents.

Anyhow, that's all for now! More in a couple of days.
