Already more popular than Persona. It's a pretty worthless franchise beyond the first the first and third season of the anime and the first Digmon World, though.

>Persona
Maybe
>Pokémon
No way

If it didnt in the early 00 it wont now.
Be glad is even around still

I didn't mean literal Pokemon levels. Just something that the general gaming community considers hype worthy

>Popular mainstream franchise
>Persona

I remember digimon having pretty clear progression in the anime. Why do they just digivolve into whatever in the World games?

Because the anime made a lot of shit up

Is that a blonde loli?

It is much too late already for it to play catch up with Pokémon.

The games were mostly shit in the 00s

Yeah, Persona is still pretty niche.

I could see 5 changing that though now that game 'journalists' give it the time of day.

Man the visual design and art for this game is good.

No. It won't. Why are you asking like it's a new IP like yokai watch? It's never been as popular as Pokemon except in the very beginning and that was only the show's first season

I disagree. I loved them all in the PS1.

They've always had branching evolutions.

Ultimately it depends on the marketing and how much money they're willing to spend on the games. If they did a revival ala Batman why the fuck not.

I mean, it doesn't have much normie appeal but it's become a pretty big name in the gaming community

I thought about getting Digiman World but the no actual combat (even turn based) thing turned me off.

>gaming community

You mean weeb community

Whats that supposed to mean, there is combat and you need to gitgud at blocking and cheering or you wont get anywhere

You still command your digimon, it's just that they also fight on their own.

It's basically how pokemon battles ACTUALLY are

The interface was literally "cheer!" and that turned it off for me.
I dunno, even Cyber Slut let you choose what the digimans did.

I might be having P3 flashbacks where you can't control your characters and you end up fucking dead because of it.

Is ok not to like it, I mean it is niche as fuck for a reason after all.
I also loved P3 and not being able to control the other characters directly so yeah

I'm just autistic because if it's turn-based combat, I want it to let me control what my shit does at least.

That's the start. You need to raise your partner's brain stat to unlock specific techniques. Also, you can use Order Power to tell them which attacks to use.

>the hips on that agumon

STOP

No.
At least we lived ling enough to see Digimon become the better series though.

Make Renamon the mascot

Does the girl in the back have a Numemon as a partner?

Yes

>even Cyber Slut let you choose what the digimans did.
Digimon Story isn't Digimon World.

really dude?

On the level of Pokemon? Never. It could reach Persona's level though in the west I think with enough solid titles and hype generating. Enough to at least warrant the games to keep coming to the west.

...

I'm kinda hoping Namco sneaks an Agumon trophy into Smash V.

I mean, fucking Bitrip runner got a trophy.

Never gonna happen. They'd cross Pokemon over with Yokai Watch before then, and even that will never happen.

Props to Digimon for making a cheeky reference to Pokemon in Cyber Sleuth though.

>you were that kid at school that thought digimon was better than pokemon
At least we agreed on it having the better anime

>Props to Digimon for making a cheeky reference to Pokemon in Cyber Sleuth though.

I don't have a PS4 yet. What was the reference?

>Never gonna happen.

Why?

...

Is that suppose to be a Yokai Watch reference as well?

Obviously.

Because it's based on the virtual pets, where evolutions were dependent on quality of care, not automatic.

No.

>popular mainstream franchise
>Persona
kek

>Digimon and Pokemon still have never appeared in the same game

Project X Zone was suppose to fucking fix this.

Persona is Fatlus' flagship now

Yeah right you moron. Project X Zone crossed Sega Capcom and Bandai Namco not fucking Nintendo. You dont see mario in these games.

>played DW1 as a child
Loved it

>Played it as a mature adult
I loved it even more. It hurts me when all the complains i see about DW:NO are "it is not like Cyber Sleuth"

But we got Xenoblade and Fire Emblem, eh, eh!

Some Faggot Emblem characters got in.

...

For example, here's the evolution chart for the original v-pet. You needed good care for mons like greymon and bad care gave you shitmons like numemon. The perfect/ultimate stage was also not automatically, it was a secret, required very specific care parameters, and many thought the life cycle ended at adult/champion.

Why does Nintendo force this garbage series into everything?

It needs to die asap

>Faggot Emblem
Advancecuck detected.

No I just hate generic anime garbage ruining my smash.

6 entire characters wasted on VN trash.

now i've seen everything

faggot

nigger
