Anybody mind if I blog about something other than the Ver. 20th? I got hit with such a nostalgia rush I decided to start up the most frustrating V-Pet of all: the Pendulum Cycle.
For those not familiar with it, it's one of those weird offshoots from Bandai Asia that corresponds to the original Pendulum V-Pets, yet continues the numbering from the original V-pets. Ver. 6 corresponds to Pendulum ver. 1.0/1.5 Nature Spirits, my Ver. 8 corresponds to Pendulum 3.0/3.5 Nightmare Soldiers, ect.)
The basic premise is a condensed V-Pet, where instead of waiting days to weeks to get the 'Mon you want, you try to raise a full evolution line in the span of a 12-hour day. Sounds interesting, right? You'd be wrong, because the requirements are so far off from the standard that most people would wind up with a Virus type Child/Rookie level that refuses to evolve.
Recently I gleaned from a thread on WithTheWill that the key to evolving involves keeping your Digimon at a moderate weight, rather than training down to their minimum as with most V-Pets.
A minimum weight as a Baby II/In-Training will result in the Virus Child, 30-60 lbs results in the Data Child, 60-70 lbs is the Vaccine type. Anything over that up to the maximum weight won't evolve at all.
With that out of the way, I finally managed to raise myself a Candmon, whereas before I could only land a finicky PicoDevimon. I got him to evolve into Meramon and then DeathMeramon, but unfortunately I ran out of time and he devolved to Candmon at 8:30PM.
Going to mess around with his weight when he wakes up and see what else I can get. If it doesn't work out this time around, I might do a complete reset and see if I can raise a Bakumon.
