Has anyone completed this game?

Anyway, I have a problem I hope /vr/ might give the answer to.

I'm on my 2nd digimon now, a Tyrannomon. My first one became a Centarumon and it learned Magma Bomb. This was passed on to my next digimon. When my 2nd digimon was an Agumon, it could use Magma Bomb, but Tyrannomon can't. Why not?

Yeah, but in the guides I've seen, Turannomon should be able to use magma bomb. Do I have to train some certain skill?

On my old Massive Memory Card, I have 42 of the 50 Digimon rescued. I could never complete the Gyromon part, and eventually stopped playing. Played this game from the beginning recently, and it is not as fun as I remember. Kinda annoying, actually. Your Digimon has to poop like every 5 minutes.

[Anonymous No.975948]

I just want to say that this piece of shit right here is rigged. Tried doing it at 10 FPS on emulator out of curiosity, and it outright ignores the correct symbol on the 3rd column. Whoever designed the slot machine in this game was hopefully shot.

I replayed it recently. It is glitchy as hell, the game breaking ones are well documented like the giromon thing that freezes the game. I had my own game breaking one where if your digimon is too smart and it gets the MP regen bonus (or something like that) the game crashes >:

This game was hard for a kid. I remember not getting very far, maybe as far as pic. My digimon always became that yellow shit digimon too. It didn't stop me from loving the game though.

Digimon world 2 and 3 were much easier and 3 is my favorite by far.

[Anonymous No.977336]

>>977331

It turned into Sukamon because you let it crap everywhere.

My problem with this game, as someone who just recently played it for the first time, is that with your first digimon the game stacks you up with chips that improve your digimon's brain/offence/defence etc. So naturally you use it on the digimon you have, and everything's going alright with a powerful digimon by your side.

Then your first digimon dies.

While you now know better how to discipline and train your digimon, it's now nearly impossible to get the same stats as the first one, without wasting far too much time in the gym. And don't fucking bother with >>975948, you're better off throwing your computer in the trash.

So now you're stuck either fighting weak enemies that give you fuckall in return, or attempt to fight the ones that you can't beat with your new, inferior digimon.

>>977326
It worked for me. I went through the final area and beat the boss. I had Metal Greymon, now he was a badass mofo.

[Anonymous No.977658]

I beat story mode by using Metalgreymon. Since raising stats that high is a fucking nightmare, I focused on weight, care mistakes, and the bonus criteria of having won like 30 or 50 battles or whatever it was. He was much weaker than he could have been, but still decent enough to beat the game by spamming enough recovery chips with the right moveset.

Also, did anyone ever fucking figure out the exact methods to unlock Phoenixmon, Herculeskabuterimon, and the other "hidden" Digimon (I think Megaseadramon? I don't remember) that was teased about in the player's guide but had its stats/requirements blanked?

And also, what the fuck was up with all those shitty Gameshark codes from back in the day? Play as Wargreymon/Metalgarurumon/Piedmon/Machindramon (last one might have been real) with dummied out items for glitchy Digimon like Gigadramon.

Man, this game was a mess, but I loved it and had fun anyway. I think the problem I had with it was I expected it to be like the anime, since the anime came out first in the US and this game didn't come out until like, the first season was 3/4 of the way done in the US. I was weirded out, not expecting a Digimon pet simulation game. The magazines I read barely talked about this game, just teasing with vague release dates that had me hyped the fuck up. The first time I read anything at all about how the game actually played was when I went to get the player's guide a week before it came out.

didn't complete it, but I remember the day I rented it my friends and I found several commodore 1702 monitors in our schools dumpster. We tested each one for problems using this game's intro since it was badass.

>still have one of the 1702s in my house

in regards to the game I liked it, but the digimon seriously shit way too much.

Special gameshark-only digivolution items were the Giga Hand (Gigadramon), Metal Banana (MetalEtemon) and the Noble Mane (Panjyamon).

There were two completely dummied out digi-items; Electo Ring and the Moon Mirror. The description of the latter says it was for WereGarurumon, but he's not in the game.

[Anonymous No.977815]

>>977809
Were the Gameshark-only items (Gigadramon, MetalEtemon, Panjyamon) available in Japan as Pocketstation bonuses? That seemed to be a small trend with Japanese RPGs for a while on the Playstation. Japan gets exclusive shit because of the Pocketstation, so instead of working it into the US version somehow, they just dropped it and left vague leftovers.

The PAL versions for the game have several game breaking glitches like that. The most noticeable being at Ogremon's Hideout. I've also heard about the warp problem in Mount Infinity.

The UK PAL version doesn't seem to have any fatal bugs like that. It also fixes the Giromon bug from the NTSC version and a few others.

[Anonymous No.977830]

>>977815
I've never heard anything about DW being Pocketstation compatible.

It would make sense since Digimon started as a virtual pet sort of thing, so it would be right at home there.

Quick searches indicate that the Pocketstation games were compatible with DW2.

I recall hearing that the Metal Banana was randomly obtainable from Etemon instead of the Golden Banana. Can't remember the details though, so probably completely untrue.

[Anonymous No.977832]

I actually did manage to beat the game and the bonus dungeon using Megadramon, helps he learns or inherits all the best moves in the game (Ice Statue, Metal Splinter, DG Dimension and Full Power). Thank God for the Digitamamon meal glitch because the bonus Machindramon would be impossible without it.

Card Battle was great fun, but getting all the ultra rare cards was close to impossible. Nowadays there are guides that tell you how to get everything, but for a child at the time it just wasn't happening.

Rumble Arena was also great fun. I was best with Terriermon but Renamon, Impmon and most of the others were great to play as well. Many of the characters completely differently, so there's plenty of different strategies required.

Really phoenixmon was a secret ultimate? I remember it was my first ultimate, before my digimon was going to die of old age. I felt so bad ass.

I think I mostly loved this game because of how much of a 90's japanese feeling it had. Tons of japanese text was left on the signs and such.

I ended up letting my friend borrow this and a couple of my other most loved games..he ended up selling them or something ;_; fuck you guy.
