In Digimon World 1, in order to see whether your Digimon will evolve into a specific Digimon, the game checks some specific perimeters. Most people know about stats, but the other three things it looks at is care mistakes, weight, and bonus, the last of which can be anything to fighting a specific amount of battles or having the right happiness and discipline. When digivolution occurs, the game checks to see if at least three of these perimeters are met. As an example, take Greymon to Metalgreymon. Normally the stats are obscenely high to try and get early game, but it's possible to get it with your first Agumon if you have less than 10 care mistakes, make it between 60 to 70 pounds (means tons of force feeding) and either have more than 30 battles/over 95% disclipline/over 30 techniques (second one being easiest to fulfill). Knowing this can make it significantly easier for you to get specific Digimon.

Also speaking of Digimon World, there are only a few things that officially count as "care mistakes" in the game. These are not feeding your digimon after a specific number of hours, not letting them use a toilet when they need to shit, and not letting them sleep. Losing battles, getting tired, or even getting sick don't count as care mistakes.
