>>46628769The Story games are somewhat recent though. Digimon never exactly have a "mainline" identity of games like Pokemon always has. Digimon World 1, 2, and 3 are radically different RPGs despite sharing the same name. World X was a kind of hack & slash dungeon crawler. The DS games sort of drew from World 3, but games like Re:Digitize follow after World 1.
Dexit blew up because Pokemon was built around collecting from the start, and set the expectation that things would always be that way. Until Sw00Sh.
