I always liked Starmon, for basically the same reasons I liked Mamemon, and the other "geometric shapes with limbs that PUNCH". Then I played Cyber Sleuth, and found out that he had a further evolution, and my mind was blown. I just wasn't ready.
You can't deny the fabulous flavor of his Evel Knievel-style outfit, complete with patriotic stars and sweet fringe, golden toes and studded knuckles, radical Kamina shades, psychic jewel in his forehead, heroic tattered Kamen Rider scarf, and most importantly - a burning soul of justice.
I can only hope they never invent a SuperDuperStarmon, or else I may pass out.
Can anyone explain Digimon evolution to me? I looked it up and apparently this guy evolves from Starmon, but also some kind of sheriff dude? And then Starmon has THREE entire previous forms, one of which is a candle that evolves into a wolf OR can evolve into a wizard who evolves into a grim reaper who evolves into a vampire? What is this shit?
ReplyDeleteThere are 6 stages, the first one is baby and the last one is Mega. In the anime, most Digimon only have one possible path, but in the games there are a ton of branched evolutions that are shared with a lots of lines. For example you can have things like
DeleteA->B->C->D->E->F
G->H->I->D->E->J
A->B->L->M->N->F
There are around 50-100 "coherent" lines, all the other Digimon borrow stages from them.
Most Digimon have a set stage, and they will always be considered that stage regardless of the line they belong.
In the show, it's basically just like multiple levels of Super Saiyan, everybody has their own unique set of forms.
ReplyDeleteBut in the games, it's more like a vast, branching tree. Each step creates exponentially more possible end forms. Since each Digimon has about 3 possible options to digivolve into, that means that each Digimon also has about 3 possible origins it could have digivolved from. And each of those origins have their own 3 origins, and so on.
It's Kamemon all the way down.
