Digital Monster Ver.Revival and DM20 Differences

[@humulomon]

An important piece I left out! Overfeeding now occurs after feeding a Digimon just one extra meat, so make sure not to spam meat if you don't want Overfeeds!

[@The_Wosh]

Wasn't it always 1 extra meat?

[@GTAMONTHLYS]

@@The_Wosh no it’s only when they shake their head after spamming meat

Bless you for this guide. Not tryna boost your ego or anything but you're truly the hero we need but the one we don't deserve. No other guide on the Revival was as useful as yours, so thanks!

Us: *waiting for pendulum 20th in English * Bandai: let’s just rerelease the dm 20 just with cold mode

[@Grimblesmith]

maybe after the dmx comes out here in july maybe :'(

[@george746]

What is the cold mode? I am new to digivice. I haven't gotten one since I was a child and am now interested in getting them again. I would like to get one of each color but altogether is very expensive.

[@Tomtomtim11]

@@george746 a mode where you put your digimon to “sleep ” but the can still evolve

[@Grimblesmith]

@@george746 it's pretty much just putting the digimon on pause, its evolution timer won't go down and neither will its hunger/strength bars and there's no limit on how long you can keep it paused like that

[@bryanautumn8899]

The reduced pooping rate alone makes this very enticing. I feel like I can't leave my Digimon alone for more than an hour or they will definitely get sick. Heaven Help me if I don't wake up at the same hour they do. And pausing would be great for those days where I just can't stay awake until midnight like some of the later Digimon. But I'm with you oh, there's no way I'm going to pay Bandai's highway robbery prices and further encourage these awful practices. I'm just going to hope they release these overseas as well but I'm not holding my breath.

[@miguelaponte8876]

Wow didn't knew about this. Feels like a stealth release.

[@alastoralex4828]

Wish they made this upgrades on USA Wave 2 and Wave 3 :/

[@ederubis]

Thank you so much for your website. It has literally made playing with these 10x better. I just started getting into them and when I found your site I went into full obsession mode!!!

[@godzilla_lives]

Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏

[@pleasesavemyearthband]

Awesome video! Lots of great improvements that bring the DM20th up to speed. Oh man, I would have much rather had these than the three waves of DM20th that Bandai of America put out! For the $20 price, of course. :)

[@KoshTimeStepper]

I have three version 20ths lol I'm used to their seemingly excessive pooping.

[@SlimeBlueMS]

It's the only one I've ever had so I'm totally used to it lol

[@TheDigiDudes]

Awesome video bro. I always look forward to seeing new videos from you.

[@Wambologie7]

The improvements fix some of my issues with the 20th device and since I bought some PenZs lately just felt like its a investment worth to me.

[@zephyrkhambatta]

Hey bro, I hatched the Doru egg on my glow in the dark Version E, but the guy won't evolve past Dorugamon. Do you know other than fulfilling battles which your online chart says says, which I've already done, if there are any other conditions to get to Doruguremon? Thanks!

[@humulomon]

Nope, that's all there is to it.

[@megatronacepticon]

I really hope they do a Meicoomon version. I'm loving the QOL changes on it especially with the new training thing and the sleep adding to evo timer will make the full effort Digis actually take work instead of being basically the default like they are on the originals where it takes more work to not max out their efforts. I will absolutely buy one from JYW if they do Meicoomon. That training regime will kill any DM20 burnout I was having for a bit there.

[@SlimeBlueMS]

I have a Meicoomon!

[@smithsfan425]

The glow in the dark version has it if I’m not mistaken

[@TamerChris]

I don't understand why they keep releasing new devices through Premium Bandai either. Obviously it's selling well, seeing as how many versions they've been steadily releasing since the ver. 20th anniversary.

[@Ardhamon5000]

So there’s definitely some interesting stuff about the Digital Monster Revivals and some actual decent improvements but honestly I feel it’s nothing really all that special to write home about. However I do agree that a reissuing of the Digimon Pendulum ver 20th in a similar caliber to this would be nice especially for those who have a great interest in buying it. Hell I’ve been wanting to get one for some time because they actually have Digimon on there that I’d like to raise such as Guilmon and Veemon. I do hope that we get more better wide releases and rereleases for people just getting into the virtual pet scene.

[@george746]

I haven't gotten into digimon since I was a child and not my interest has been spark today by the video and now I want to start collecting them now. Sadly getting multiple is very expensive and I don't know what is the difference between the colors.

[@UnderTheSkin13]

Humo has so many V-pets he feels nothing to let them starve and die.

[@NightmareZerogbs]

Considering this video is close to 2 years old...have they implemented the fridge pause on the international versions by now? I kinda want a non X vpet as they have a far wider variety of mons, BUT as someone with 2 jobs, I REALLY need the fridge pause :(

[@humulomon]

Nope, English versions are all based on the original DM20. You can pause them though by hitting the reset button, and then loading your save data whenever you want to unpause.

[@B-Man-69]

Thanks for your website, man. Been a great help.

[@zephyrkhambatta]

Hey there, how do you put it in "cold" mode? You've said we can do it but I'm not sure how. When I go to the light menu all I see is light on or light off. And they're either awake or asleep based on those two controls. What's "cold mode"? Thanks :)

[@humulomon]

You can activate by just turning off the lights anytime the Digimon is awake.

[@zephyrkhambatta]

@@humulomon awesome thanks for that. For some strange reason KZbin didn’t alert me to your comment! I was just browsing KZbin again and I came across this 🙏🏻🌈🙂

[@LauKungPow]

Man I would kill for a Pendulum revival. I was going to go for the recent Pendulum Z’s but after seeing how shafted Veemon’s line was, I kinda lost interest. Would love to have a Pendulum revival for a full Veemon line lol

[@the_echoYT]

Until this video I didn't know that the B button scrolled through the stat screen. I've been using the A button the whole time (just got a DM20 a few weeks ago, my first v-pet). I'm not sure why they'd remove B scrolling when it doesn't affect anything to have it there, but I can see it from the perspective of "the A button is the scroll button" since you use that to scroll on the main screen and everything too.

[@digitamafreakdoodles]

About the button change for stat scrolling, they probably wanna make the buttons getting worn out both at the same time. Probably..

[@Artzei]

Hopefully i would at least get these, since i missed out on the original Wave 1 DM20 releases in 2017. Also, does the Ver. Revival contain only the Wave 1 Digimon or does this include both Wave 1 and 2 Digimon together in a sort of a complete/definitive versions?

[@bogdandelta28]

Hope they do a wave 2 revival of these in the original colours (Alphamon, Omegamon and Zubamon)

[@george746]

What do you mean by wave 2? Please explain everything you know about it. I haven't gotten into digimon since I was a child.

[@Cultfatherexo]

I was playing around with the VPet 20th the bricks . And I was trying to hack my extra one for no reason even tho it's English . I was able to access the sound test and the disk checker . And I received my Digimon that died about 10 Digimon ago

[@NOOTSMAZDAS]

That definitely would throw me off with the b button no longer being scrollable in the stat screen

[@JustinLee-fj3nd]

Hi from Australia! I've been really enjoying the her 20th and have 3, even got my friend into it! I really want a couple of Pendulums but I refuse to pay the ridiculous prices that are asked for them and I'm not even prepared to pay $100AUD or more for the Pendulum Z. Pendulums should be available at Western retail and to be honest I think their whole decision to make all these releases Japan PBandai only releases is insulting and disgusting. All it does is promote greed and scalping. I've known PBandai would be wrong from the moment alot of the Gunpla kits started becoming PBandai kits. I've said enough I emotionally get amped up when talking about Bandai and their greedy business practises. In the end I just want a couple of Pendulums.

[@rodtney57]

Hi, I have a 20th A version and I’m getting this revival edition (B version) as my next one. I’ve read that you can unlock the exclusive egg with just 2 devices (by keep resetting the 2nd device but with different names), my question is can I do the same with this revival as the 2nd device?

[@humulomon]

You cannot, the Revival doesn't have a name feature.

[@matthewfishgold4541]

Agreed, I can't find one affordably. Would love a pendulum 20th that's not so expensive.

[@moonstone9292]

Ive been running 3 DM 20s for the last 2 weeks after finally finding out they exist, and purchased my 4th tonight. Just need version 4 to unlock everything. Honestly a difficult chore keeping them alive working full time let alone having the pocket space while working to hold them

[@SlimeBlueMS]

Not even worth it dude lol

[@DigiDimension]

Wait, fast forward mode???? Is that something that’s only accessible through the debug hardware mod? Is it available on the English models as well?

[@humulomon]

Correct that it's only available via the debug hardware mod, but it is not doable on English devices

[@DigiDimension]

@@humulomon ah, alas these hands are not worthy of such power. Thanks!

[@kingshawn6982]

I don't mind the improvement but at the same time I don't like some of the changes. I'm a bit skeptical about some of the changes and I don't feel like they should have removed some of them. To me the dp meter plays a big roll because this tells how much energy it still has before getting tired and a way to limit the amount of battle it has. To me tag training was better in the other version because it helps that there is a way of know if you succeeded or not. I'm just say, don't take my word for it. Overall this is kind of how I feel and I think it was good that they fixed some features.

[@28_babyshark]

So I have the transparent Orange 20th edition here in the US. Which one do I need to battle with to to unlock it special eggs?

[@humulomon]

It would need to battle against 5 other DM20 devices each with a unique version or name

[@shal9047]

can you battle Vpet X and Pendulum Z using the X and Z battle system? in the Japanese manual it says something about compatibility with vpet X and pendulum Z

[@humulomon]

Not directly, as the Z checks to make sure it's fighting another Z version, even though they use the exact same battle system. However, they can use the same battle system when using Alpha Terminal via an Arduino communicator

[@inmecolour5359]

Hi Humulos! I Drop/ broke my Revival screen and replaced it with 20th English screen. Spot it gone lighter than original Revival screen that is already lighter, or is it just me?

[@humulomon]

The screens display differently when placed in other devices, so it wouldn't surprise me. Throwing an English screen into the DMX Purple didn't make it any darker on my end, still just as light.

[@inmecolour5359]

@@humulomon True, it's not in the screen, but board settings most probably. It would be nice if could tweak the display contrast.

can i swap the screen of the revival with a US 20th to get a better screen? I prefer a darker screen and the revival is abit too light for me.

[@humulomon]

While it's possible, I am not sure if it would make a noticeable difference. Swapping the DMX1 and DM20e screens was a massive change, but in my experience swapping other screens, it really doesn't change contrast much.

Is there a battery inside the device and if so how often do you have to replace the battery and if you replace the battery do you have to start all over or?

Yes, the battery lasts between 2 to 3 months. Data is saved frequently, so you can reload your Digimon right from where you left off after changing the battery.

[@BlazeElPadrino662]

Did I hear it right? Is it possible to version switch the Japanese DM20th? Would it be possible for you to post any infographics or pics regarding that process? Thanks in advance!

[@humulomon]

You open it up, locate the JP2, JP3 and JP4 connectors and then either bridge or sever the connections in different combinations to get a different version. It's not a very useful thing to do though, since the exclusive egg simply changes when you switch versions, so it's not like the Pen20 where you can unlock every egg.

[@iPig0803]

Excuse me ...I still don't understand how you do the debug mode? Is it requires open the divice to change anything inside the board? Is the 20th also have debug mode?

8:15 You don't need to connect to five unique devices, you need to connect to five devices with different Tamer names. You can have one device, and reset and rename it, and it counts. As for this device, it would be tempting if it had a Lunamon egg without Alphamon color scheme that comes off easily. But this doesn't seem to be a thing, and with US devices out of my reach, welp, I am stuck to my Alphamon color.

[@humulomon]

Yep! Renaming a device turns it into a new, unique device, as the memory has been wiped. While you can get the 5 unique device connections from one physical device, doing so means the device you are resetting will never get the 5 unique device connections necessary. This is how the revival is different, as it only requires the one device connection, not 5

[@randomweeb6997]

It's not a big deal - I purchased my second DM20 with a specific task in mind - to unlock a Lunamon egg. The eggs that unlock on brown and grey devices aren't even that good - it's just an Adventure main with it's evolution line. This isn't a problem with Lunamon because I like her line entirely, but Adventure's Agumon and Gabumon aren't even close to my favorites. Revival is nicer, yes, but unless has a Lunamon egg, I am not interested in buying one.

[@randomweeb6997]

> Revival is nicer This aged poorly. Revival's Freezer is worse than DM20's sleep. If your Digimon is frozen, and it's Sleep time, it unfreezes the Digimon, and sends a call to put Digimon to sleep. There is no option to put Digimon to sleep before the Sleep time, so you have to stay awake during Digimon's sleep time. For certain Digimon, that's midnight. On DM20, you can put them to sleep at 21:01, but on Revival, you have to stay awake until midnight. This ruins the whole device. Sleeping isn't a problem on DM20, while Pen20's freezer survives the Sleep time.
