>>5771659Dark digivolution is a gimmick as far as the anime is concerned. Skullgreymon and Megidramon were only ever accessed by dark digivolution.
Biomerge is a gimmick too. It was the only way for the main cast to access their Mega forms (except Guilmon becoming Megidramon through Dark Digivolution, a different gimmick digivolution). Yeah, Gallantmon shows up in other shows as a normal digimon but so did Agunimon.
Also how is DNA digivolution obligatory enhancement? Fusing two digimons to create an entirely new, significantly more powerful digimon is an obligatory enhancement? It's not Paladin mode or even Crimson mode. Omnimon and Paildramon are completely new digimon.
