Digisona update (and extra junk)
11 years ago
General
Before I begin, I would first like to apologize, as back when I described the events of Digimon The Movie I made terrible mistakes regarding the digivolution forms that makes me ashamed to consider myself a fan of the series. I would like to correct these now.
First of all, I had previously thought that one of the baby stages I identified was the Egg stage, but this is not the case. Digimon are first in the Egg stage, then they have the two baby stages of Fresh and In-Training.
Secondly, I have done some more research regarding the second circulation of Digimon and discovered something about their digivolution forms when battling Kokomon.
It has been revealed to me now that many of the Digimon for that period were prevented from naturally digivolving by someone or something known as the Digimon Emperor, and instead the DigiDestined of that time had to use various artifacts known as DigiEggs to allow their companions to digivolve. By doing this, the Digimon were not naturally digivolving, but were instead Armor Digivolving. The three main Digimon of that period - Veemon, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon in their Rookie forms - used this process when fighting Kokomon. I previously thought it foolish that Veemon digivolved to Flamedramon for the final fight when Kokomon beat him rather easily earlier on in the movie. Now, though, it’s been revealed that Veemon didn’t have many more options at the time. I still don’t get why he and the other two mains were so damn cocky when they didn’t land a single hit on Kokomon, though.
So anyway, when Kokomon reverted them in the final battle of Digimon The Movie, it wasn't undoing their more natural digivolution, but can rather be more likened to removing or negating their armor from the DigiEggs. Later on, when Angemon and Angewoman appear, they are unaffected because they have naturally digivolved. Angemon is Patomon's Champion form, and Angewoman is Gatomon's Ultimate form.
This explains the double standard I noticed, but only to an extent. Terriermon, which is Willis's Digimon, had naturally digivolved earlier but was still reverted like the ones that armor digivolved. It could've simply been that the reason Angemon and Angewoman didn't revert was because they came after Kokomon's attack, but I have a counterargument to that. When Kokomon began regressing the DigiDestined after the initial reversion, a couple of the Digimon were reverted further back into their In-Training forms. So why did Angemon and Angewoman not revert then? And later when Willis and Davis use the Golden DigiEggs to progress their Digimon, they remain unaffected when Armor Digivolving was countered before.
So in summation, what the fuck???
Oh well, at least I was right about Kokomon’s stages of digivolution.
Anyway, I stumbled upon this because I was initially researching the canon Digimon I want to have my new sona become, and that would be Veemon. By going through his page on the Digimon wiki, I discovered that the only Digivolution forms of his that I know about past his Rookie level were the result of DigiEggs, not natural Digivolution. Veemon does have many natural digivolution forms after Veemon, but I did not recall any of them.
This kind of jumbles everything up a bit, as I was under the impression that Flamedramon and Raidramon - who are actually armor digivolutions - were his Champion and Ultimate forms. I wasn't really sure how I felt about having my eventual tamer/DigiDestined having to collect these artifacts if they ever want me to become greater than Veemon.
But, I've now made peace with it.
So, on to the actual announcement.
The Digimon progression my sona will take is that of Gen 2's Veemon:
http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Veemo.....28Adventure%29
I will be using his normal progression up until his Rookie level, after which I will be restricted to his three Armor Digivolution forms: Flamedramon, Raidramon, and Magnamon. All of these can be seen by scrolling down on Veemon’s page.
This narrows down my choices to Options 1 and 2 from my previous journal.
I have since then decided that I am going with Option 2. I will use Veemon's progression, but I will be altering certain features and the names of the different stages.
Here's the rundown of these changes:
1) Fresh:
Chibomon will now be called Bibomon, red eyes will be changed to brown
2) In-Training:
DemiVeemon will now be called DemiBeemon, eyes and lines around them will be changed to brown
3) Rookie:
Veemon will now be called Beemon (I checked, wasn't taken), yellow/gold markings will now be brown, eyes and lines around them will now be brown
4) Courage Digi-Egg form (we'll call this one Champion):
Flamedramon will now be called Blamedramon, eyes and red parts of armor will now be brown
5) Friendship Digi-Egg form (we'll call this one Ultimate):
Raidramon will now be called Reidramon (subtle change, 'e' instead of 'a' although it was pronounced like the change anyway), eyes and black armor will now be brown
6) Golden Digi-Egg of Miracles form (we'll call this one Mega):
Magnamon's name will stay the same (got nothing for it at the moment, might change later), eyes will now be brown and armor will look slightly more bronze-like
The name and color changes are derived from my primary fursona, Boltro Reiodoru:

And as a bonus, if I hadn’t picked Veemon as a base, my second pick would’ve probably been that of Gabumon:
http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Gabum.....28Adventure%29
If for some reason I ever have the urge to make another Digisona, that’s probably who it will be.
And that's just about it.
I'll begin contacting hopeful tamers/DigiDestined and see who's interested in the idea. I know not a lot of you are very knowledgeable regarding the franchise, but you don't have to know TOO much to take part in this.
Thanks for reading in any case, and I hope to hear from people!
