Renji's Evolution!

Digital Monster Version 1 (Japanese)

Name: Renji
Species: Greymon
Level: Adult
Age: 8 Weight: 30g
Win Percentage: 31%

Yes, indeed, Renji has evolved! Turns out, he wasn't entirely mute after all. Every now and again I get some scratchy beeps from him when he's training or I'm scrolling through the menu.

He battled Penn, who evolved into a Unimon (and later an Andromon), so I'm waiting for him to evolve into MetalGreymon any day now. I'll have to get a shot of all four original Digimon once he does. :)

In other news, it's finally June! Which means the Digimon Pendulum Ver. 20th should be shipping soon! :D I'm super ecstatic about it, and I also can't wait until the special versions (which feature Dukemon and Beelzemon color schemes) are available to pre-order. 

Well, once Renji evolves into his final form, I'm thinking of doing another run or two before the Pendulum 20ths get here. If you've got a preference, here are the ones I'm thinking about doing:

- Morino Tamagotchi (because it's summer and I'm reminded of bug catching :P )

- Tamagotchi Connection V3 (because it's a little easier with the pause feature)

- Digimon Pendulum (versions 1,2 or 3)

- Digimon Mini

- A special run where I raise some Digimon on my newly arrived Digital Monster Ver. Wonderswan! 

Anyhow, that's all for now! See you next week, and thanks for stopping by! :)

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! ^^'

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! :)

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! :)
