Hey, I'm the creator of this hack. Thanks for playing! Do you mind pinning this comment so that anyone with any questions can leave a reply?

[@dimitrisoikonomou3590]

Thank you for this wonderful creation,it would be more propriate to ask you my below posted question. I just want to ask ,is there something special required to go to the post game?Basically,when I beat the rival I have this final 34.52 scene and the end credits,but then a new game automatically starts. I tried to change it by "save" in the in-game menu but nothing happened. Could this be because I have an older version which possibly ends after the League?

[@TheGuzeinbuick]

@@dimitrisoikonomou3590 Whoa, that's strange. My guess is it's a problem with your emulator. I recommend VBA for desktop and John GBA Lite for mobile.

[@dimitrisoikonomou3590]

​@@TheGuzeinbuick I don't know,I used to receive a message that "the 1-M sub-circuit is not installed".I supposedly solve it by changing the Save type to Flash 128k,the message is not appearing anymore but the problem persists.I dont know if it has something to do with in-game save,which I am not sure if it is accomplished (I don't receive a message that "IZZY saved the game" when I press "SAVE", should I?).The think is ,after the in-game credits,the main menu appears and if I press start,a new game just begins,no "Continue" option.I am using VBA in my desktop.

SkullMammothmon is my partner Digimon! On the 20th anniversary Digimon virtual pet I messed up digivolving a Digimon to fuse with another one and got SkullMammothmon instead, but then he long outlived the other Digimon I was raising at the same time that he would have been fused with, and grew on me, becoming my signature Digimon because of that. When you raise Digimon, it always feels like your favourite ends up picking you! Much love to the Digimon series, it by far deserves more love than it gets, it's very distinct from Pokemon, and a ton of fun to get into- and the anime is a classic, I always preferred it to the Pokemon anime even though I was OBSESSED with Pokemon. The Digimon community is super chill and friendly too. Thanks for bringing us some much appreciated Digimon goodness!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

That's awesome! I had one of those anniversary digivicies too with agumon, but I left him on campus one day and never found him :(

[@rjthepoet500]

MONSTERS RANCHER WAS GREAT! I miss that show... Digimon was great too

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I remember I used to watch it, but other than that I've kind of forgotten everything about it tbh

@@NuzlockeJoesame lol I recall not horribly disliking it and that the main monster was a mochi duck but that’s it

[@grantbonney685]

I used to watch so much Digimon my dad still remembers that Gabumom digivolves into Garurumon 2 decades later.

[@CoNteMpTone]

Your dad was interested in you? Damn man, the feels.

Blackwargreymon has always been my favorite. It has all the look and appeal of Wargreymon, but manages to overcome the fact that it was made from pure evil!

[@FutureDeep]

And he's voiced by Steve Blum!

[@koragg3399]

,my fav digimon as a kid was WereGarurumon

[@Giga-lemesh]

Same, its because its rad af

Mine was Master Moo

[@sielklavar]

WereGarurumon is still the coolest Digimon

[@donovanfaust3227]

WereGarurumon? There Garurumon.

[@Benjayy]

Ah I see you're a man of culture as well

[@NegaNekojin]

K.Numemon is short for "Karatsuki Numemon" (most known as "Shell Numemon" in English), King Numemon (officially named "Black King Numemon") is an ultimate level and potential evolution for it. .P.S.: Favourite digimon? Tyrannomon. Favourite digivolution line/path? Dracomon's blue/vaccine branch.

[@SeraSmiles]

I might be the only person on Earth who loved clowns as a little girl but did so Piedmon has always held a special place in my heart

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Oh man, Piedmon creeped me way out!

Digimon Tamers is hands down the best monster capture anime of all time. Norizawa Masako voiced Guilmon, that's bananas.

​@NuzlockeJoe my favourite digimon is gatomon she's so cute

[@jjohnson2445]

​@@NuzlockeJoe I'm surprised tyrantkabuterimon isn't on there

[@unknownpitfall6135]

My favorite was mega-kabuterimon. I actually hack that family into my own hacks sometimes huge credit to sloo for the data though.

[@omegav1252]

The funny thing about that note on no nuzlocking the first playthrough, I actually was the first person on yt to nuzlocke this and got to about the second gym 😂 Glad to see another more successful run, I love Digimon abd despite what people say it is not a Pokemon knockoff Ps: My favorite Digimon is Imperialdramon, I love the whole Veemon line

[@MarkofWisdom]

if I remember right, I think digimon actually came out before pokemon did. They did become rival franchises that I think ultimately pokemon won, but digimon didn't do bad for itself and is still around, though not as popular worldwide or in the west as pokemon

[@omegav1252]

@@MarkofWisdom pretty much, but has been some cool new digimon stuff like Liberator

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I didnt realize you already had tried it. THere wasn't a ton on youtube about it, but I figured someone must have tried it already.

[@andrewsheiman8574]

​@@MarkofWisdomnot quite. Pokemon did come out before Digimon, but it was only a difference of about a year. Digimon was designed as a Tamagotchi for boys (and Tama is only a few months younger than Pokemon). However, when Digimon released, Pokemon wasn't yet a massive international craze. In fact, Digimon hit international markets before Pokemon did, which is the origin of this misconception.

[@sunshowers3838]

I love Guilmon the most, followed by Dobermon then Antylamon - though, of course I have to shout out Renamon for being the first to explain to me the concept of gender (and also the glorious degenerate artworks).

[@dimitrisoikonomou3590]

Thanks for the walkthrough video man,really interesting the variety of Digimon we can use, my most useful Digi was also met in the Pallet grasses (Punimon,which I evolved to ChaosDramon).I picked Gomamon as a starter but my favourite Digi is always the sarcastic Mr. Tentomon. MetalEtemon was the last one I added in my team like you did.

[@andersonantunesdeleu8591]

Hey Joe! How's it going bro? I gotta say, sincerely, your voice is really pleasing to the ears, thank you for creating content! My favorite Pokemon is Angemon btw! I saw it's really hot there in Vegas! I hope you guys there are doing alright! Always, besides supporting your channel I also enjoy your content very very much! Thanks for doing this hack ROM! I really liked it the first time I saw it and really enjoyed what you did! Thanks for always being so polite to me 😊! You're a good person and I wish you health and success!🤙

Thanks! If he's you're favorite, then you should be happy how often he comes up in this run!

[@andersonantunesdeleu8591]

@@NuzlockeJoe yeah in fact! I didn't know actually patamon had a mega evolution, which was a surprise to me! And you played really well too Joe! The other time I saw someone playing this hack, the game was too hard to beat, but you are Nuzlocke Joe, right? For you it's a very possible challenge! I'm always looking forward to finding out your next Hardcore challenge! Best regards, Joe! Take care man!👊

[@underbossgamingdunce7018]

Machinedramon will forever be my favorite Digimon. Blew my mind when he showed up in the anime and I loved him ever since.

[@alexsnewhandle]

Damn that was great! Hoping to see more Digimon content in the future would prefer a clearer explanation of the mons used, since I don't know the evolution lines I couldn't quite follow

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I get that, it can be confusing. Maybe real nicknames would have been a better idea. I will likely do the same thing in an emerald rom some time in the future.

[@ProjectCrimRed]

i gotta say. my favorite digimon as a child was agumon. but i ended up finding out about dorumon. and i loved his design ,his evolutions, and alphamon is my favorite digimon now .

[@FauxNamen-ih3kj]

Was gonna say numemon is a favorite for the pure fact when I played Digimon world on the PlayStation 1 and messed up a lot on reaching rest rooms he just ate the droppings lololol plus he could digivolve to that monkey dude with the Elvis voice in the show. But then you attacked my boy lol good vid btw

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Sorry about that, didnt mean to demean your favorite guy, but they throw poop around!

[@DualBlade2376]

Chaos Gallantmon is my favorite digimon. He’s the dark knight version of regular Gallantmon

[@kitsunekage12]

My absolute favorite Digimon ever since their big debut was Keramon - and then his entire digivolution line following. I try to make it a point to get ahold of them in any game where they're available and have been considering getting into the Digimon card game solely because there is apparently a really good Keramon line deck. It's such an unsettling little critter and I love it, the Rookie form Keramon specifically I mean. I love the rest but that is my favorite form in the line hands down,

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Unsettling is right. He always makes me feel uncomfortable

[@mannyblight6140]

Need to add this rom to my miyoo mini +

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Its a good one!

[@Niall_Sene]

My favourite Digimon was one of the newer ones, I think?, it was called Shoutamon. I've never really been a fan of Digimon, so it was cool to meet a lot of them in this Nuzlocke. It was crazy how much luck needed to be on your side in this run, some shocking deaths happened too.

[@MrOzono]

I can't resist favorite digimon questions, mine can't really found in the show but in a quite obscure movie, Dorumon

[@cozykomala]

This is a fun and cute idea! Big fan of you giving this a go. My favorite digimon is Valkyrimon, the perfect balance between cool and elegance.

[@millebausa]

hands down agumon line is the best for me... even now that I'm all grown up, whenever i see any video that shows their digivolution it still give me goosebumps

[@BlocKoopa]

There are a lot of great ones, and I don’t think I’ve ever thought about which Digimon is my favorite. I’ve been thinking about it while watching the video, and I think I might have to say Diaboromon. He’s just so cool in the movie.

[@emilydonegan3208]

Hell yeah, Digimon! I love the games, merch, and cards at least as much as Pokémon tbh. My favorite is either Betamon or Digitamamon!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I still enjoyed them for sure, but they simply wer'ent popular. I think my brothers and I were the only ones I knew of who collected digimon cards. But everyone and their dog had pokemon

[@robertperez2262]

I’ve always had the affinity for the evil turned good archetype… that’s why I’ve always loved Gatomon. Meaning that Angewomon, and by nature Magnadramon, is my favorite.

[@chaossnowkitsune6377]

My favourite division as a kid was Renamon. I always found her so cool in Tamers so she became my favourite really fast. While Renamon is still one of my favourites, I would say my absolute favourite nowadays would be Mastemon. Especially seeing as Mastemon is a fusion of two of my other favourites Angewoman and LadyDevimon

[@MGPW]

"Digimon! Digital Monsters, Digimon are better than Pokemon!"

[@TokenDeathmage]

The little guy you had with Bide becomes Gammamon , and the one you didn’t know that looks like a chicken becomes a samurai bird Butenmon

Yeah I did get gammamon fully evolved but didnt do anything with that chicken

[@LeicesterTillIDieTV2]

I am definitely in that "I love both pokemon & digimon" group my fav was war greymon but I also thought black gear controlled skull greymon was cool

[@NayaM0]

I really love a lot of the starter Digimon. In particular, Palmon, Gabumon and Terriermon have always been some of my favorites. I also adore Gracenovamon, and I've fallen in love with the entire Shoemon line from the recente Digimon Liberators manga.

[@johnunderkoffler2913]

@Nuzlocke Joe Thanks for the heads up on Digimon Nova Red. Just recently started with Bukamon and am now in possession of a Water-type, a Normal-type, and a Dark/Poison-type.

[@16BitBass8]

People hate on Digimon too much. I've loved most of the games since the 90's

[@blisterless]

I remember watching Monster Rancher and Digimon when I was younger but I don't remember much about them

[@NuzlockeJoe]

All I really remember is that one yellow monster with a single eye

[@jmercs7]

Omg yay a Digimon video, I love Digimon! My favorite Digimon is Terriermon!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Terriermon is a good one. I don't think I had access to the terriemon line in this run though

[@doomscar009]

Love the monster rancher reference in the beginning

[@SenpuuNoMa1]

I really like the terriermon/lopmon families, but specifically their rookie forms are the cutest!

[@kristinapetrovic1741]

Yay another Digimon fan! :) My favorite is Tailmon, closely followed by Lopmon and Renamon.

[@mamutepeq]

I don't know much about Digimon, but I like Phoenixmon. The feathers are just so pretty and the toothed steel beak is cool. I guess you can see I'm a Skarmory fan too, based on that 🤔

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I can see that

[@jennyperpa5302]

Myotismon became one of my favorite Digimon from the anime. He was so corny and over dramatic, it fit his design perfectly. Dorumon is a second favorite from being adorable.

[@brettwhite9788]

I was hesitant on getting this rom but after a few minutes of watching this I'm sold and getting it now

[@NuzlockeJoe]

It was a ton of fun IMO.

[@so0meone]

"Nobody likes Numemon" Leave Numemon alone, he's done nothing wrong! Except for, you know, breaking the meta of the TCG for several formats with no sign of stopping

[@shilohlee4332]

Thanks for the video! I would have typed a lot of Digimon and some moves differently.

[@ghartman56]

This was so cool!

[@matthewcruz4440]

Great Video, I need to play this. We need a Digimon Game that is like Pokerouge. It would fit so well.

[@darkusbowser524]

My favorite Digimon for me is a two for one in the form of it's evolution. That being Skullgreymon and Machiedramon

[@Galba89]

it is devastating that the best digimon game, is a pokemon romhack

[@mannyblight6140]

As a kid magnaangemon was my absolute favorite

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Angemon and magnaangemon are awesome, because they both appear at the exact right time when they're needed, and absolutely wreck.

[@12cmercado]

I thought those shells on Ancient Mermaimon were something else entirely. 5 ridges lol

[@katherinerichardson2273]

the ironic thing is yesterday I was just thinking about Digimon and which one's my favorite it's Patomon

[@Kurrian333]

This game is so much fun! It is a bit sad to see the guide be even more outdated than when I played (maybe a year ago). Glad to see its still updated, sad to see the info is outdated

[@firas1938]

My absolute fave is ChaosGallantmon but I also love Keramon. Idk if I'd be able to choose between the two lol, This game is cuch a cool idea

[@Aeri_shiro]

Beelstarmon or BelleStarmon depending who you ask. But don't look her up while others are around she's really spicy. She's based on the same Named person Belle Star who was violently unalived and the pepsi was never solved. She's also a very poplar monster in Yugi-Oh! called Diabellstar the black Witch. It Evolves from Lady Devimon, Witchmon and Ghostmon. Though an alternate Evolution line is the Sistemon line. Though we don't have her in any form of media besides the tcg so we don't know until they make a game or show with her.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah there are a number of digimon that make me uncomfortable ble thinking about them as monsters to be tamed...

[@liamallison3599]

I love so many of the Rookie Digimon, but tied for my top favourite is Agumon and Gomamon

My fav digimon line is the seadramon line they just look cool to me

[@tjepic5256]

that was cool i hope you do this type of run again. Mine was BlackWargreymon

[@chaosamber7719]

I'm not really much of a Digimon guy, but I do enjoy the occasional Digimon game; Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth is a great JRPG in general, and of course Digimon Nova Red (along with its Pokemon Emerald equivalent Digimon Emerald Project) is a great quality rom hack btw, my favorite Digimon would have to be Lilithmon

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I really liked digimon, but admittedly the games often leave something to be desired. Cyber sleuth was really good though

[@KrotharSmash]

MONSTER RANCHER MY MAN Terriermom and its digivolution Gargomom were my favourites.

[@S4leaguer999]

Honestly, the digimon games are often more diverse than Pokémon games. They were fun and to this day more fun than the one trick pony pokemon games ( which haven't been good since B/W2). But they were and still are BRUTAL and not for the weak. If you liked digimon world, then you know what I mean. Pokemon games were fun, but I always preferred the older mainline ones (

[@drjjloveman]

Monster Rancher was the shit! So damn good. Loved the games too.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I never actually played a monster rancher game, but I did like the show.

[@ittlenanzo7744]

Wow, that's high praise! I may do the same thing in a Hoenn game, but we will see how this goes.

[@spartan1121]

I would disagree that pokemon had the better toys, at least in the late 90's early 2000's when I was a kid. We actually had Digimon action figures that would transform from lower to higher evolutions. Pokemon had some small figures but they were solid so you couldn't move them or pose them. The gameboy games and card collecting were what drove pokemon.

[@zenakuuchiha6278]

What is the other TV show at the beginning of the video? Its so familiar but can't think of the name. Anyone know?
