>>42611438>The issue with Digimon evolution is that it generally is more focused on growth than PokemonIf only that were true. They are both follow the simple formula of evolution needs to meet a criteria. While pokemon just allows you 1 branch unless it's evee digimon explodes into a lot of redudancy.
To make the case
Why would charmander ever evolve into anything other than charizard? Just because they are part of the fire egg group? While it's a nice concept for digimon it's an issue for their games that isn't tackled at all and it bombards the players with too many options.
At least Ragnarok Online can do that better.
>a lot of the fun & charm of Digimon is from branching digivolution lines and the numerous possibilities that come from itWhich can easily be addressed but it wont because it will hurt the delicate fringe minority.
At least in that aspect you are garaunteed that digimon games will never be popular and over take pokemon. Though I'm glad for it because even a game like TemTem already rivals digimon and it something digimon fans should be afraid of despite it not being direct competition. At least yokai watch wasn't competition to anyone let alone a threat.
>CS avoids it becoming a clusterfuck but expanding from the previous story games by simplifying it instead of just running with every single possibility from all past Digimon media.Which means nothing at all.
They don't need to reboot nor do they need to expand. They just need to fix the underlying problem that is their core system overall.
>adding them would just add an extra layer that meant little overall.Not at all. There is a masive dex entry in pokemon and it's a massive layer that means little overall. Also Pokemon has started to add crap to their system yet it will never be a problem like digimon has. Yet at least digimons solution is very simple and it can leave a lot of problems like the ones currently being discussed for a later date.
