    I heard a theory or more like a crucial detail that while pokemon technically metamorphose or mature with training and experience, digimon being digital beings are not bound by natural world rules hence literally evolving like several eons in one go like from a cat with holy properties to a literal angel, or a dinosaur through added data growing metallic weapons of mass destruction.
    Digimon are literally eldritch beings beyond the natural world there's no competiton in terms of power output. More digimon have the capability of reaching legendary pokemon levels of power.

    • @SiNKarnage

      @@joshuaeddleston No it doesn't, Warp means to bypass stages transitioning stages. Thats why Agumon & Gabumon shouts Warpu Shinka when Digivolving straight from Rookie to Mega and later Cyber Sleuth solidfying it as not exclusive to just Mega evolution. Even the latest Survive game illustrates Warp Shinka as its own.
      Matrix, Perfect and Super follow different scenarios to achieving levels. Only Super Digivolution/Chou Shinka is the Standard routine for Champions whereas the others are achieved via nontraditional means
      Matrix Digivolution in simplex terms is Evolution that surpasses normal evolution just like Digital Nature Ability (D.N.A.). Their partners always shout Shinka with no prefix when hopping from Rookie to Mega or Champion to Ultimate.
      Perfect & Ultimate Digivolution in Savers is just to tell you what stage you'll get. Its all about the Digisoul charge that matters. Regular Charge = Rookie to Adult
      Full Charge = Adult to Perfect or Rookie to Perfect which makes it a Warp
      Overdrive = Perfect to Ultimate or again Rookie to Ultimate Warp

      Her Holy Flame tehnique is said to "Those who suffer this technique have their forms instantaneously erased"
      And yes Holydramon is a multiversal threat. She is part of the Four Great Dragons who are stated by the DB Booklet to rival Qinglongmon from Digimon Adventure and she and Goddramon defeated Milleniumon who was said to be a distortion of the Digital World and at that rate the Digital World would be destroyed. Qinglongmon is part of both the Four Great Dragons and the Four Holy Beasts.
      The Holy Beasts uphold the space-time of the entire Digital World an infinite,multi-layered world with servers(worlds/universes/multiverses) in the layers that's beyond the Network (multi-layered, 6 layers/dimensions) and Human World (your conventional infinite multiverse).
      They passively keep the Digital World and many other worlds from collapsing into a world of darkness/nothingness and they can even help with the Human World.
      EDIT: "Beyond" is used as in the Digital World is in a hierarchical position superior to the Human World and Network like a higher dimension. Digimon Adventure works with Neoplatonic Emanationism aka higher worlds transcending lower worlds. The Digital World is like a higher multiverse while the Human World is like a lower multiverse.
      ReDigitize states that the Digital Worlds have a nature that transcends and errodes reality. In the Xros Wars manga its stated that the Digital World is a higher level structure that encompasses the Human World at a higher level and even if the Human World itself would be used as a processing resource it would still be not enough to process the Digital World's data.

    The important thing to remember about Digimon when comparing them to Pokémon is that their evolution lines aren’t linear because they’re Digital Monsters comprised of data, so typically a Digimon has evolution lines run horizontal meaning several can reach the same final evolution through another tree from Champion to Ultimate and not directly point A to B.
    Digimon evolution forms are: In-Training I > In-Training II (which tend to scale a bit with Pokémon starters) > Rookie (tends to be around a Pokémon’s second evolution in terms of power) > Champion (and above tend to wildly and exponentially jump in power so at this point and past it Pokémon no longer can scale to them typically) > Ultimate (tends to be where Pokémon gods are at power) > Mega > Ultra/Burst (Mega/Ultra/Burst tend to be DBZ levels of power). Most Pokémon second forms would fall under Rookie/just touching Champion Digimon power levels.
    Source: Trust me, I Digimon and Pokémon competitively. And Gatomon, used in this clip, should have floored that Mienfoo without evolution because she’s a powerful level Champion form. Digimon Power isn’t based on size like how you can generally think of with normal (not legendaries) Pokémon.

      Sure it's nothing compared to real life experience but it never will be. You cannot take such serious things and put them into a show and have everyone agree that it's a perfect representation. This is because everyone responds to the situation differently and will say stuff like "that's not realistic" because it wasn't how they responded, personally I fully closed off from everyone around me for 5 years due to a bad home life and getting bullied at school dove heavily into alcohol and reading and became severely depressed though I'm mostly better(still obsessed with reading and still drink every once in a while but that is nothing new), but I acknowledge that others become angry and confront people and scream and shout and just overall respond with hate or continue trying to be friendly only to take the hits and get back up again and continue to push forward because accepting whats going on would be worse for their mental health and others throw themselves into work or study, or so many other responses, simply put I don't think your giving Digimon enough credit for what it does.

      It's kinda a thing that things directed at boys are a lot more violent and serious everywhere in the world. Like when you hear something is aimed at boys automatically death and life threatening scenarios are the norm and it's not uncommon for things to end with thousands of enemy minions dead in the first 30 minutes.
      The reason for this is boys react to the action and death by getting pumped up, it's cool and something exciting, I'm not saying girls can't but generally it's more of a dude thing, it's also the reason men tend to end up more violent and impulsive we are fed violence and constant action in almost everything we watch or buy, even down to simple childrens toys girls got dolls and house sets while guys got guns and dinosaurs.

    As a mostly pokemon fan, slowly dipping my feet into digimon, there is one thing I really like so far. Digimon evolve based on how you treat them. Feed them and don't allow them to die in fights too often? You get a literal god on your team! Don't feed and abuse them? Here is a piece of shit, like, literally shit.
    And then there's pokemon, which, besides a few exceptions, will evolve and happily grow under you, no matter how you treat them.
    Edit: A lot of people mention friendship evolutions and dark pokemon. The second one is specific to a spin-off series though. And friendship evolutions are a very simplified version of what digimon has, with little to no negative consequences for mistreating your 'mon.

I'll just go develop a guilt complex about it for the next five years."
    Plus there's that time he fought the leader of the previous twelve villains, a literal god-phoenix, and decides to do kung fu at it. He's got guns and rockets strapped to every limb, no one would blame him for going overboard, and he's like "nah, I'm gonna kick it."

      While there are issues with fandoms on both sides, I think it is ultimately the Pokemon side that needs to put in the most work, because while there are people who like both, digimon fans tend to have experienced both, and either prefer digimon or just didn't get into Pokemon. Meanwhile there's been many times a pokemon fan made some remark about digimon without actually knowing what it is, and it's ultimately the pokemon fandom that had started the feuds, and Digimon fans bitter about it.

    I grew up watching both Pokemon and Digimon anime series since I was a little kid back in the mid-2000s. I was a huge fan of both series. I love how the music plays when the explosion came as Gatomon begins to digivolve. It makes me feel too hyped! I love Gatomon so much and I'm happy to see my favourite Digimon appears in this animation alongside Kari!

      Digimon really doesn't have spin-offs. It instead has 2 mainlines: World and Story. World games tend to do whatever the fuck they want, tamagatchi style gameplay to dungeon crawler action games. Story games tend to be more in line with traditional RPGs. The one you played was probably either World DS or Dawn/Dusk (They're only called World games in the west and are actually just called Story in Japan FYI).
      But yeah those transformation scenes are definitely only in there to cut production costs :P
