My favorite part is that almost every major criticism that Jaiden had, Cyberbsleuth either fixed or duct taped together enough to work better.You have three levels of repel, a force encounter button for farming, no map but you can at least pull the camera back so far you can SEE and hacker's memory even has a walk speed up function. It's honestly just an overall more playable Dawn because it actually has QoL stuff.

[@Douglas628]

If you played the game before, there are basically 2 things that you notice about the video: First is how brutal this game can be to someone who doesn't know what to expect from it, since this game was rushed and released less than a year after the pevious one, it doesn't bother explaining you shit. And second is that Jaiden have no memory whatsoever for map layouts. While they do get pretty complex sometimes, the city she described as a maze is literally 2 straight lines connected :v

I've never played a Digimon game and I remember watching an episode when I was little just because it happened to be on TV (I remember like.. nothing about it tho) but I remember watching Jaiden's video thinking the same thing, "I mean, Pokemon does shove enemies at you quite often and I've gotten lost before." Then she dropped the "Yeah this game is only that but worse" and suddenly I understood her pain.

[@LiMe251]

The anime is the best starting point, the games are for people who like the anime.

[@Steelersrg8]

Personally I think “Digimon worlds DS” is the best choice for first time Digimon fans. It’s the prequel to dusk and dawn and champions ds. It actually explains how to play and had a lot less grinding than champions and dusk. It is a lot more in-depth battle system and is a small enough change for Pokémon fans to enjoy it. To my understanding Digimon ds fans wanted a harder game so they made champions then they wanted it even harder so they made dawn and dusk. Not the prime game to start out with tbh.

[@diamonshade7484]

That's what I thought

[@JoordyDreaming]

i like the that you brought this game up, but no for me , World ds is not much better X'D I recently replayed worlds DS and i didnt finish it , I remember playing and beating All of Worlds ds , Dawn and Dusk and Champions and i had fun when they were originaly released. I was younger then , had alot of time to waste ect, So the grind and everything wasn't so bad, But now i was replaying if for content creating , Yeh that was a regret. i whole heartly say that the newer games can do a better job for a person that wants to get into digimon , Play cybersleuth , Due to the story being intresting and the characters pulling you in. Survive is also good but is a visual novel mostly , i wont name Next order cus thats a diffrent ball game.

[@RayquazaBath]

I always recommend CS if you want to play Digimon because the DS experience is good but the mechanics of the plates and tree still hurt when I replay it. It's a good thing that mechanic died in the xross blue and red.

[@Steelersrg8]

@@JoordyDreaming I mentioned this when I made a comment on jaidens video but, the 3 codes you get in the first area can help you breeze through up till mid gold tamer which is a decent way through the story then you are already set up so you should have strong Digimon to replace the dot Digimon. Personally I went with guilamon line, Greymon line, and seadramon line. But I can see it being a bit of a hassle if you don’t use the codes.

[@Steelersrg8]

@@RayquazaBath I mean I don’t disagree. But in the case of jaidens situation I would still go with ds. Also I liked the mechanics in ds with the 5 slots and attack patterns. But that’s just me. You could defeat all Digimon without giving them a chance to hit if you strategized right. But the digivolve menu I will admit is abismal. Mainly because I leveled up my metal Greymon in a vanilla ds game. Then I still couldn’t get Omnimon because it was locked behind trading/online features. That’s the only real gripe I had with ds. But it was so minimal it really didn’t matter much to me because there were plenty of other Digimon I could evolve I also liked guilmon’s mega form because it was reliant on game play time which I found to be a cool touch.

[@victor_e_dafeet8218]

Jaiden seems to know nothing about digimon at all, that’s why she wanted a handholding game like Pokémon to get introduced into the series with. And yea games that are too story focused like persona would probably be hard to make a video on because they are long and would require too much story retelling potentially and not enough time to talk about their reaction and own experience.

[@HazeEmry]

Then play the "bland" World 2 game. The best one for a short animation type video imo

[@42Caio]

Cyber Sleuth has nowhere as much story focus as people make it out to be, it's a normal RPG. It's a dumb attitude some fans have and people like Jaiden having a horrible experience with a shitty game that's oversold for "not having so much text" is the result. Cyber Sleuth eases the player a lot more into its systems and actually establishes its world in a decent manner. I think if not Cyber Sleuth, the best game for what she wanted would either be Digimon World Next Order or even Digimon World DS because while it shares a lot of the failures Dawn/Dusk it at least is meant for a complete newcomer while Dawn/Dusk just throws you into it expecting you to already be a digimon fan.

@@kazekamiha I remember not having flash and just hugged the wall and got through anyway.

[@Willingmess]

I will defend the game a bit here. Yes the encounters and level design are extreme, but the battle and digivolution mechanics are great. Battles are really fun as they incorporate some tactical decision making. You have to make choices about attacks based on which squares they hit in the battle, and how far back in turn order the attack puts you. It does a lot to spice up battles. I think digivolution was also fun, if a little overtuned in some areas. You have to get certain stats and types of experience. That usually happened as you progressed through the game, but some had moderate walls that you had to overcome if you wanted to get a certain digivolution early. There were definitely a lot of digivolutions that required too much though. Overall the games are fun if you’re prepared for a more hardcore experience, and I understand they’re not really for everyone. I do still love the games though.

[@renjuno1991]

The anime didnt go downhill. In fact adventure 02 sucks, has no direction and is overall a complete mess, it had so much development problems and it showed. Meanwhile Frontier and Savers are really solid with many characters fleshed out and truly remarkable villains and plot lines but they are nowhere near Tamers good (Best in the franchise) Xros Wars is really good too, sadly the manga is miles miles better so if you can you can, read that one. The new one, Ghost Game is great but have in mind that it is completely episodic and its basically digimon scooby doo. Adventure 2020 sucked and Universe is basically an unrelated spin off

[@thomasbrown4626]

@@renjuno1991 Thinking back I can agree for the most part on 02. Though I would say that more than having no direction it lost direction after the first half and Ken stopped being evil. Before that it was pretty straightforward, if a bit threadbare. But after that, yeah. they started floundering around a lot. Frontiers was definitely a stronger showing than that story wise. It was some of the characters that grated on my nerves. But IN retrospect I would say Frontiers was better than 02 overall. Savers I honestly found barely tolerable, I am not sure WHAT it was that I disliked about that show though. I mean it wasn't atrociously bad or anything. I dunno what to say about that one lol. As for Xros Wars and the rest past Savers.... I honestly wasn't a fan. The characters were honestly annoying and pretty much one note. I didn't even watch the second series with the new characters.

Also Dawn/Dusk is the second game in the Digimon Stories series, Digimon World DS being the first one, After Dawn/Dusk is, Lost evolution and another title both were Japan only releases though, then Cyber Sleuth came out and was the first game in the series to become Digimon Story. They all play similar to each other, Cyber Sleuth is probably the best out of all of them but they are a fun enjoyable ride if you know what Digimon is and like it.

I totally get sticking to your fandom and supporting it over another regardless of the circumstance, especially to side with an audience. That said, I feel there is a difference between a game being judged based on the peaks of its own franchise that has a reputation for being fun games and very least consistent in a certain bar of quality vs a game just being a bad game in general when compared to entertainment value across the board. Having played close to a half dozen different Digimon games over the years. While I enjoy the franchise the number of ones which were memorable and well-designed experiences versus the ones that found the janky and inconsistent in quality over the lifespan of Digimon games. Unfortunately, leaned towards the latter in my opinion and considering what the popularity of the franchise is more based off of in comparison to say a franchise like pokémon which primary focus was towards the video game. I can't say I'm that surprised in the current climate of the communities. Regards to past Digimon game efforts and see a lot of truth in her experience

[@rivetsquid8887]

I've always felt like the problem was Wonderswan tbh. Everyone I know who can read enough Japanese to play one says they're good.

[@Layazeroda]

Holy crap this video was more hilarious than expected. I'm subscribing. The title just made me think that you had no experience with Digimon too so i expected a basic react video. Of course Jaiden's vid was really entertaining too.

[@Dragonpit]

I can do better on the whole name thing. Anyone who knows Japanese knows that each sound/letter in their alphabet is composed of a consonant sound and a vowel sound. So in each single letter space, they are fitting in the equivalent of two English letters. So for them, a space of five letters is actually plenty for them. They can get Kudasuyoshi out of that space (not that that's an actual name, but you get my point). So when the game was localized, they didn't (or rather, couldn't) alter things to add more letters for names in other languages. Something to do with how the memory in the game works...I wish I was more knowledgeable about it to explain it in better detail. But...I digress...The naming thing was not made with anyone other than the Japanese in mind. Hell, naming your character in Pokemon Blue and Red had similar limitations. To be fair to Jaiden, it isn't necessarily her fault she thought Digimon was similar to Pokemon. When Digimon came out, it was marketed as if it was similar to Pokemon. That's how advertising works; you try to make it appeal to the widest audience possible, often using the broadest or most general truths available, regardless if it gives people the wrong impression, because what matters is if the product you are advertising sells. And in Digimon's case, Pokemon was already extremely popular at the time. So the marketing team made it seem like Digimon was similar to Pokemon in marketing in the hopes of riding on Pokemon's coattails and bankrolling on Pokemon's explosive popularity. That being said, I remember a lot of people thinking Digimon was just an imitator and ignoring it as a result, so I guess that instead of riding the blast, Digimon just got caught in the initial explosion and took damage instead. Whoops...! Don't trust commercials and advertisments, kids!

[@animefan6662]

As a Pokemon fan, I understand what Jaiden means when she asks the question, "What is a Digimon?" In Pokemon, the monsters are natural creatures like regular animals IRL. It makes sense. She wants to know what the Digimon equivalent is. Saying they're digital monsters doesn't cut it. Are they naturally occuring creatures in a digital world? Is there a non-digital world like the Megaman Battle Network/Starforce games and they were created by humanity? If not, where exactly do humans fit in? How is it possible for the biological and artificial to exist in different states in the same world? I think this is what she meant and from the perspective of someone that knows nothing of Digimon, it's a valid question.

[@priestesslucy3299]

For real, she didn't even know what the digital world was. Personally, imo starting with _any_ Digimon game before seeing one of the anime is a mistake. Adventure 01, Adventure 2020 and Tamers are all great places to enter the franchise. Savers and Xros Wars get a decent second place here

If you never played Digimon, you would be vastly unfamiliar with how Digimon grow. I only was familiar with DNA Digivolve from Digimon World 2, and that process is also in this game and is as tedious as Pokemon breeding.

[@jonathangoodwin5609]

Yup, she actively refuses to read the tutorials, refuses to engage in the games !echanics, then calls the game bad because of her poor way of handling it.

[@LiMe251]

She never learned how to equip items, dedigivolve, add team members, or multiple other features, as seen on her second channel.

[@tobiasaugustodeoliveiradia9417]

One thing that proves her point is that almost every digimon fan who reacted to that video recomended a differente game

[@joshuabean7805]

True I've watched like 10 reactions and every single one said a different game. Personally I think Nux has it right, watch one of the anime seasons first to get a general gist (I'd go with adventure 2 since that introduces the armor and DNA evolution methods plus mode change) and then go into the games. Also would recommend that she plays Cybersleuth even though its narrative heavy its mechanics are much more beginner friendly.

[@RikkuEcRud]

Terriermon isn't just _in_ Cyber Sleuth, he's one of the starter choices.

[@kbunful]

Always thought digimon got a bad rep. Their connection with their digimon is obviously stronger than Pokemon trainers.

"No one cares about the story in pokémon games." Me, who plays pokémon PRIMARILY for the stories and characters: How dare.

[@Karak-_-]

Same here, that's why I refuse to touch Platinum.

[@jacintacapelety9600]

@@Karak-_- There's a fair possibility that nostalgia is influencing my opinion, as Diamond and Pearl were my first main series pokémon games, but even with an only so-so story and bland as bread characters, Platinum still managed to be a pretty enjoyable game for me (it probably helped that, while the story itself wasn't all that great, the lore and world building it worked in was AMAZING). If you haven't played it, I'd recommend giving it a chance, especially if you played and enjoyed Legends Arceus, and *double* especially if you played and hated Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl (that might seem counter intuitive given that Platinum was a sister game to Diamond and Pearl, but trust me, the additions and changes Platinum made were a WORLD of difference).

[@texteel]

zeta/omicron fangames have teh best story, change my mind

[@jacintacapelety9600]

@Rage Kage "it's literally a bad story and the characters are the most bland of all" Hop going through an entire character arc revolving around questioning his own worth, Piers, Marnie and Team Yell desperately attempting to breath some life into their home, Team Star being cast as the villains when they were the victims of bullying (which is a sort of event I've seen play out in real life, albeit not on such a large scale), Arven being put through the emotional wringer with his entire life, Grusha having a drastic change of outlook after an accident forced him to give up something important to him, Lilly and Gladion struggling to deal with the fallout of their abusive mother's actions (at least before USUM butchered that story line and added a few gaping plot holes), Kamado needing to be saved from a self destructive path that he went down out of desperation to protect his people, and Volo being pushed to the point of madness through the hardships of his past all beg to differ. Pokemon's story telling is more subtle than in other games, but that doesn't mean it's bad or that the characters are bland. I love a story that gets me to think and analyze and look for more pieces of the story (especially when that analysis is directed towards characters), and pokémon does just that. Older pokémon games weren't as well written because they put so much focus on the evil teams, which more often than not felt like very flat villains (with the exception of Team Plasma; they had some pretty thought-provoking story going on), but more recent games have turned to more character driven narratives, which has lead to lovable and memorable characters. I'll be honest; before Sword and Shield, I struggled to remember the names of most gym leaders (with the only exceptions being the ones that were note worthy, like Giovanni, who was story relevant, or Whitney who was just kinda made into a meme for being so obnoxious to battle). But more recent games have given a level of life and personality to the characters that actually makes them stick in my mind now. If you asked me to name all the regional gym leaders for any gen before Sword and Shield, I genuinely don't think I could do it. But after Sword and Shield, I could probably name the majority of them, if not the entirety of them, which I think is a true testament to how good they've gotten at making memorable characters. Honestly I can't comprehend people who don't like the stories in pokémon, because it's truly some phenomenal stuff, especially in how they deliver some of it. Like, every story's got it's exposition, but pokémon's mastered some creative ways of delivering story with significantly less of it; whether it's being able to read character journals, involving pokémon to imply certain things by using what the player already knows about that pokémon through pokédex entries, set dressings, or more recently using flashbacks, pokémon's genuinely got some really good story telling, especially in more recent games. They just take a different angle to story telling that requires a bit more effort and thought to get a clear picture, and I personally love it. So much better than stories that beat you over the head with their point (you wanna talk about a pokémon game that *actually* has bad writing, I still haven't finished Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon because the degree to which they shove the message down your throat is just so overwhelmingly obnoxious, and it takes forever for anything even slightly important to truly get going).

It was more so the game, since Dusk/Dawn are in fact Digimon Story sequel games, and expected you to know the mechanics from the last game

I was wondering when he was gonna upload this

[@HovektheArtist]

Same

[@gabe2469]

One of my favorite anime intros is the og Digimon intro it will always live in my head

[@TheErsu]

I liked Digimon Dusk and Dawn even with its complicated dungeons, mandatory side quests, and level grinding. I also liked Pokemon Sun and Moon. There were a few interesting pokemon from the Sword and Shield era.

[@soragamma25]

To be fair with the pokemon caves bit, not once does it get mentioned you could use flash a TM as a move outside of battle, until some of the newer ones where is said lightly.

[@decusq]

When Jaiden is describing how hard the dungeons are in a Digimon game all i can say is "You've played a JRPG before right? Oooooh you started with pokemon... yeah this series doesn't hold your hand."

[@CyberAlter]

Nux streams Cyber Sleuth! Let's gooooo!!!! XD

[@IronDino]

1:55 I'd actually Sun and Moon actually WAS the last good mainline Pokemon game (if you don't count Legends as a mainline game, because that blew it out of the park). Sun and Moon had Novel deviations from the Gym Leader challenge. A unique twist on the 'evil team'. Solid cut scene animations. A good roster of new Pokemon. The introduction of regional variants. Ride Pokemon doing away with HM Slaves. It had a good plot and good characters. A lot of great new innovations that sparked the franchise. Sure, Ultra S&M was a quick carbon copy ripoff with little additions, but the new plot wasn't bad, and did a good job to smooth over some old plot holes. tl;dr We're only one (counting Legends) if not, two (Sun and Moon) generations from a good Pokemon game.

[@erianpeterson3431]

It's one of my favorite games people just hate on it because of how many cut scenes there are but complain that modern pokemon games have no stories

[@Alondro77]

Jaiden, "I HATE DIGIMON!" Nux: *squeezes his Renamon body pillow and cries*

[@DigitalGamerPixel]

In all 100% fairness. I love the Digimon Dusk/Dawn games. HOWEVER. They are hard as all fuck. I noticed she didn't have any Digimon in her farm, which is part of the fun. If you're going straight through ONLY raising your starter Digimon you're going to be bored out of your mind. The reason spawn rates are super high and why they're mazes is you're expected to raise multiple Digimon as well as multiple farms. Your Digimon in the farm would appear on the top screen and talk to you and you can watch them train. It's very much a precursor to Cyber Sleuth which fixes essentially all the issues in Dusk/Dawn by toning down the sheer size of mazes (a little too much IMHO) and making Digivolution a LOT more streamlined. In Dusk/Dawn the Digivolution tree is fairly limited. I can't just start off with Koromon and end up getting any Digimon out of it from enough evolution and de-evolution. You have essentially one path that splits on occasion and you HAVE to have the proper stats to do it, which of course are gained from training on the farm, evolution/de-evolution, and friendship levels. Dusk/Dawn are basically Stockholm Syndrome the game. As a Digimon fan in the early 2000s we had barely anything gamewise so we sucked it up and played it. I specifically remember it was a nightmare to get Lucimon (which to this day is a favorite). You had to raise Devimon and Angemon to a specific level and I think they had to have specific stats before you could DNA Digivolve them into Lucimon. So. I love the game because I'm a Digimon masochist. (You actually meet the protagonist from Digimon Dusk in Cyber Sleuth's DLC and get access to her Digimon Lunamon, which is nice, but if you play Dawn you're SoL because Coronamon got the shaft)

[@babypower14]

only one of devimon or angemon needs to meet the level 42 req with i think 30000 dark exp to evo thow i rec getting the second atleast there level cap up cause it do add them and since you cant undo it you can save that grinde time by slapping the other in farm as you level the main body

[@Nymphonomicon]

And to think all of this could have been avoided if Jaiden played Digimon Rumble Arena.

[@infamea3147]

6:15 Of course the Pokemon fan doesn't care about the history and characters. easy prey for Gamefreak

13:31 i remember I just found a video that told me where to go and to get repels… soo….

[@JuJoAura]

I don't know if I'm some sort of masochist or maybe because she kind of admits that she doesn't learn from the tutorial but I still find that Digimon world dusk and Dawn really fun, also should have started with Digimon World DS as it ease you into the mechanics as Dusk and Dawn throw you into the plot.

[@IronDino]

13:20 "There's no map to Rock Tunnel." It's a tunnel. Not a cave. With zero branches or detours. Stick to one wall and you'll make it out just fine. Victory Road is supposed to be challenging seeing as it's the very last cave before facing the Elite Four.
