Fun fact: In the Digimon World Re:Digitize there's a character with a Numemon called Catherine, which is the same name as Kathryn in japanese. Digimon games are not really known for good translations to be honest. The Evil Ring and Culumon bits are references to anime plot points. First one being from 02 and second from Tamers. There's still some story bits in the post game, but they require you to do some especific side quests, so I recommend looking for a guide. Man, I miss when Digimon Main Characters spoke. At least we got that in Survive, for a change.

This was the FIRST digimon game I've ever beaten. Yes its special

This game was the first isekai But seriously, the story was so much more better than Dusk/Dawn, I felt actual emotions for the characters and the side quests were actually really cool and we had an actual goal to work without just doing side quests! The digimon designs of the observers were soo cool as well. It still has the same problems such as clunky menu and unnecessarily long animations.

This game definitely has one of the best Digimon Game stories. It keeps you engaged and it's easy to understand whilst being complex with its characters.

This video was great, from Kathryn, THE WONDERFUL EDITTING, the ptsd from dusk. It was a great video! it has been 9 days since upload and only has 920 views?!?! Criminal. I will be sharing this video with every digimon fan I know. This video needs to be seen.

Before watching: this game is my single biggest nostalgia hit ever. And it helps that I think the game is outstanding. I really hope you enjoyed it!

I feel like the whole “Light of Digivolution” bit may be a reference to Calumon’s role in Digimon Tamers, a.k.a., Digimon Season 3.

The thing about Culumon is named Digi-Entelechy and is been part of it since culumons conception. That’s why Culumon can’t evolve but can help other digimon evolve

Dusk was a childhood favorite of mine so I decided to finally play this game. It was for the most part great, but even with level 60 Mons I couldn’t beat the final boss. It’s really unfortunate the spike, cause it’s an otherwise good game

Since you missed the Calumon bit; it was their entire plot relevance in the Tamers show. :)

This is still my favorite of the Story series

I actually had this. I remember it became quite addictive to play lol

these games and the story games were really great and got me into digimon

When the digiworld is "destroyed" the server resets back to the beginning if i remember correctly. Off note there are some digimon that can straight up delete the digiworld

That Torterra cry, yo! 😂

nice just subscribed and binged all of your ds videos glad youve played the sequel!!

I just loved playing this game and i still loved grinding my digimon team during the battles.

I want to cry man. This was my childhood. I barely understood anything but i spent so much time in it.

Thank you for doing this video! I've always loved digimon and english isn't my native language. When I was a child, I've beat this game following walkthroughs and never being able to understand any dialog, I just loved Digimon so much, their designs, music and everthing else. With this video I just realize that I never truly understood this game plot point, and I'm glad that years later I can! I really appreciated that! (Now I'm waiting for a Digimon World Championship video). DS Games are the best! Is so cool that people can enjoy this console and their games even if they can't read nothing on the screen. It's just accessible...

I always enjoyed the show as a kid, but this game is what truly sparked my interest in the series. I’ll never forget my first playthrough.

One thing that might be the reason why there are the same maps in the 3 digimon story for ds (even tough it might be just lazy) Is that DS, Dusk/Dawn and Lost Evolution all happen in the same universe. What do you think, is it just them being lazy or a nice reference? I don't really care I hate the ice map...

Awesome video and I felt the same way when I replayed it lol

my favorite digimon game, very cool video

There's a side quest involving the 3 MCs of Digimon Data squad whose partner digimon are showcased on the start screen of the game.

Yay you back :)

This one and DW2 (hear me out) are my favourites of the series! I love how this one is just a 'not as' convoluted version of Dawn/Dusk, which I also enjoyed playing... man, that was 12~13 years ago, dang I'm old af. lmao And yeah, a speedhack is almost a necessity for these Digimon games to be enjoyed properly, especially nowadays at least in my opinion. There's so many games and so little time. Also I heavily dislike games that like to waste our time (looking at you Next Order) but thankfully there's always a way to speed things up so we can progress and have our fav Digis in our team and even getting new favourites too! Loving the reviews! Great job.

I still have my cartridge plus a copy of dusk and dawn because I genuinely love those games. I mostly play them on my massive tablet via emu and really wish I could get an upscaling of the assets/artwork.

My save file got currupted after the final boss killed me so I never was able to properly beat this game. A shame because I remember it having great pacing and a good story with nice characters. And after watching this video I'm glad that I was right. I tried playing Dusk but I just couldn't. The grind required to advance is insane. The pacing and characters also suck. They introduce like 20 characters at once and expects you to remember them. Dawn is the one I actually managed to beat. I don't know why nor how though. Anyways, great video. You got a good amount of chuckles from me. Hope you get to do a video on the Cyber Sleuth series. A MAJOR improvement onver the Digimon DS RPGs formula imo.

I replayed dusk recently however I knew what was ahead in terms of the gaia origin challenge. So thankfully I didn't get cooked. However I am hurt that at this point, there's basically no way to be able to do the final tournament :///

I always pick Tanemon in DW:DS because it’s the easiest choice when it comes to unlocking the Koromon and Tsunomon lines later

Good to see more people talk about these cool, if very flawed, games. Out of curiosity, are you going to check out the third game in this same style as well, Digimon Story: Lost Evolution? It didn't get an official English release, but there is an English patch.

Yes I got all of those and dawn

Played for the first time and finally finished last night. It was a huge grind, but it was worth it in the end i was op only taking 1 damage from the final boss. I really liked it. The final boss had such a cool design. Sucks, I wasn't able to get any eggs, though.

I played one digimon game. It was cool 👀

You never watch the other Digimon Seasons beyond the First one right? Many things in this Game are hints to the different Seasons of Digimon.

Absolutely back the decision to speed things up, playing on an emulator at the very min you gotta speed it up so the battles go quicker, towards the end of DS I was so tired of grinding I think I put a 2x or 4x exp multiplier just to finish ( I didn’t know about the demon lords)

Never got the chance to play this thing coz bruh the time consumed for grinding really pains me, would be nice if you also try the lost evolution since it recently also got english patch

Think you'll ever try cyber sleuth?

Could you play digimon world championship

the grind might be due to how the game very poorly explains how the gains work, vs degenerate taking some stats away. I pretty sure both of them have it where you want to go far as you can that reasonable but not grindy, then degenerate as far down as possible before you digivolve them back up to speed. You do this by making sure that by the time the back ups are ready, your frontline is can go to the back and let the next up take over while waiting to get their stats back up. Its best done during the journey and not later or else yes, you'll end up needing to grind. If I remember correctly, this one is easy to do and dawn/dusk being a bit harder to do without grind but it is possible. Just making a note that its not your fault on how you played it, I sure most people will experience it the same way you have. As far as post game goes, at least by then, it shouldn't take too much more and there a bit of grind but its a bit understandable, its meant to be hard.

Loved this game. Now playing Cyber Sleugh. Love Digimon world 2 but I hate Digimon world 1.

Are you using an emulator? Because I repeated the early game about 6 times finding a working file on this game.

I love this pair of games. I totally get how the grinding can just be...to much. And I would love for these games to get a remake that just, fixed that. Like I like grinding more than most, but there's grinding and then there's multiple hours of brain rotting repetition. However I also think there's a charm to it. I remember teams I played Dusk with as a child, there's a sense of connection from spending that much time slowly grinding up the 'perfect' team just for you. It's a type of thing more linear games, Pokemon or Final Fantasy for instance, just can't capture. And I wouldn't want that lost entirely for convenience, sometimes a bit of push back IS good. So I do think there's a better medium here, a balance of investment without absurd time sinks. But even if these games don't reach those heights, I still love them.

do the holy mode fight please

there is post game where you figth with de devil lords with the characters of digimon data squad

Can this game to be remake?

imagine manipulate people to kill each other, try to destroy the whole world and when you get defeated they forgive you

One thing about this game i wish i did was use the antylamon dna u get after finishing helping him and use him for the rest of my playthrough

You shoud play madabots for GBA. I let you trade rokusho medal and parts to play the medabee version of the game with (this makes the game a little more challenger,

Hopefully remake for switch

26:41 I hate this boss. I just throw away game after first try, because I was exhausted after hours of grinding for digivolutions (I degenerate my team only ones for geating final forms). Why bandai even thought it was a good idea to put so overpowered boss in kids/teenager jrpg, while whole game before didn't give you proper challange?

I heard digimon down and dusk was made in 6 months meanwhile digiomon savers was still in emission, so thats why the sequel of this game sucks so much xd

Looking back at it, this game wasn’t good. Not only is it a massive grind fest, but all the cool digimon were locked behind trading. So no Omnimon or Gallantmon for you if you didn’t have a friend 😞 Also it’s super easy to get lost in this game.

i’m playing this game right now, tbh i’m tired of it, takes way too long and story isn’t interesting enough for me, deleting that shit rn and spoiling myself with your video, it’s a shame since the sprites are actually amazing
