Digimon World (デジモンワールド Dejimon Wārudo?) is a role-playing, adventure, and digital pet video game developed by Bandai released at January 28, 1999 in Japan, North America at May 23, 2000, and PAL at July 6, 2001 for the PlayStation. It is the first game in the Digimon World series. The storyline focuses on a human brought to File City on File Island by Jijimon to save the island. Digimon have been losing their memories and becoming feral and the city has fallen into disarray. The goal of Mameo is to save the island by helping Digimon recover their memory and return to the city.

As it came before the anime in Japan, it is very strictly based on the Virtual Pets. The game play revolves around raising a single Digimon from its Digitama form, hatching into a Fresh, up through In-Training, Rookie, Champion, and with work, Ultimate. A Digimon partner will die with age, and return to an egg eventually, so the player has to raise it again.

Fans of the anime will be familiar with the sixth stage, Mega; however this game was made only shortly after the Pendulum series of pets, which introduced Mega level.

To raise a Digimon partner, the player must train it, feed it, let it rest, and take it to the bathroom.

The other main aspect of gameplay is battle. The player’s partner Digimon fight the Digimon that have become aggressive due to a crisis on File Island. Partner Digimon begin the game with a few basic skills but acquire more as they progress in levels through the game.

The PAL region’s variant cover art features the seven initial Partner Digimon from Digimon Adventure. The group includes Tentomon which isn’t obtainable but does however appear in Beetle Land and Gomamon, who is otherwise completely absent from this game

Gameplay

Digimon World’s game play utilizes two major aspects: Raising and battling. The element of monster raising consists of feeding your Digimon, allowing it to rest, and leading it to the bathroom. As a Digimon grows and trains, it can digivolve into a stronger form; there are 5 stages of digivolution in total including the desirable Ultimate form. Raising a Digimon carefully and properly helps progress through the game, and improper treatment can lead to dire consequences. The second element of the game, battling, composes the other major aspect of the game. Digimon World’s battle system heavily relies on options that a player can command, such as “Your Call” and “Retreat”.[3] As a player ventures in the wild, Digimon may engage in battle when touching each others paths. Battles are usually inevitable while adventuring, and they are a reliable source of techniques that a Digimon can learn and money. Training a partner Digimon enhances its parameters, enabling it to fight with better ease and digivolve to powerful forms. Digimon World also provides various mini-games for the player, including fishing, arena tournaments, and curling. Sub-quests are also available, mainly for new recruiting Digimon and other hidden surprises.

    Today my friend was saying she felt bad about her weight. I was reminded that we exercise so we can lift up our comrades. Cause I picked her up and twirled her and she giggled. Then she got shoulder ride to get stuff off the top shelf in the kitchen. She felt much better after that

    Will never forget when a Craigslist petition company hired me, and flew me to ohio to get signatures for legal abortions and weed. Then they were like we got another assignment for you in Montana a month later, so I got flown to Billings. They handed me the petition and it was the biggest hock of horse shit, wanting me to get supporters for Joe Manchins No Labels party. I didnt do shit and got sent back home a week later.

    The dems should be doing something to undermine third parties or try to get ranked choice voting if they were really concerned about third party votes being votes for the opposing party. They don’t have the gumption to try some shit to keep power because they’re professional losers. They want to lose. They suck on purpose.

    The fash in my country is running ads on TikTok, promising that they’ll do something about high prices in supermarkets. Their proposed solution (lower taxes) is idiotic and puts blame at the government being too big rather than private capital doing price gouging.

    That is infuriating enough as it is. What is even more infuriating is how the “left” seems completely invisible on the issue. They’re not demanding price controls or denouncing price gouging. The best they can do is proposing windfall taxation on the price gougers.

    Yet again the fash is proposing something that feels like it will directly benefit people materially while the left is proposing bureaucratic measures that has no direct and easily understandable way of improving daily life.

    I’ve decided to blame protestants for American menswear being fucking boring.

    Working on how to get hold of some illegal jewel tones and other forbidden fashion fabrics.

    this soviet textbook chapter on feudal economics is so fascinating and something ive been looking for for such a long time. like what are the specifics of natural economy and how did peasant rent work and what’s the difference between free peasants and peasant serfs, and how did feudalism arise out of slave economies, and how did capitalism develop in the cities, and how did exchange economy develop.

    also would be soo so good for somebody looking into worldbuilding a feudal fantasy world hahaha
