Warp Digivolving, also known as Super Digivolving, Matrix Digivolution, or Perfect Digivolution is the term for when a Champion Digimon (in this case Gatomon), digivolves to Ultimate (Angewomon). So yeah, it fits.

[@SiNKarnage]

@@joshuaeddleston No it doesn't, Warp means to bypass stages transitioning stages. Thats why Agumon & Gabumon shouts Warpu Shinka when Digivolving straight from Rookie to Mega and later Cyber Sleuth solidfying it as not exclusive to just Mega evolution. Even the latest Survive game illustrates Warp Shinka as its own. Matrix, Perfect and Super follow different scenarios to achieving levels. Only Super Digivolution/Chou Shinka is the Standard routine for Champions whereas the others are achieved via nontraditional means Matrix Digivolution in simplex terms is Evolution that surpasses normal evolution just like Digital Nature Ability (D.N.A.). Their partners always shout Shinka with no prefix when hopping from Rookie to Mega or Champion to Ultimate. Perfect & Ultimate Digivolution in Savers is just to tell you what stage you'll get. Its all about the Digisoul charge that matters. Regular Charge = Rookie to Adult Full Charge = Adult to Perfect or Rookie to Perfect which makes it a Warp Overdrive = Perfect to Ultimate or again Rookie to Ultimate Warp

[@1993Southparkfan]

Not gonna lie. When I was just a child, Gatomon digivolving into Angewomon made me 100% believe cats can transform into angels. I guess this is because I was so extremely young, that I was not able to separate fiction from reality yet. This is despite my mom telling me a million times that Digimon is not real, even before seeing Gatomon OR Angewomon. I must have been a stubborn child.

[@metazoxan2]

It's interesting how different that can be for some. I was EXTREMELY realistic as a child and for as far back as I can remember I always seperated fantasy from reality. Of course this also means I had a VERY boring childhood and never believed in faries or any of that stuff. Overall I'm fine with it but it also sometimes feels like I missed out a bit on seeing the world through the lense of a child that thinks fantasy is reality.

Qinglongmon is part of both the Four Great Dragons and the Four Holy Beasts. The Holy Beasts uphold the space-time of the entire Digital World an infinite,multi-layered world with servers(worlds/universes/multiverses) in the layers that's beyond the Network (multi-layered, 6 layers/dimensions) and Human World (your conventional infinite multiverse). They passively keep the Digital World and many other worlds from collapsing into a world of darkness/nothingness and they can even help with the Human World. EDIT: "Beyond" is used as in the Digital World is in a hierarchical position superior to the Human World and Network like a higher dimension. Digimon Adventure works with Neoplatonic Emanationism aka higher worlds transcending lower worlds. The Digital World is like a higher multiverse while the Human World is like a lower multiverse. ReDigitize states that the Digital Worlds have a nature that transcends and errodes reality. In the Xros Wars manga its stated that the Digital World is a higher level structure that encompasses the Human World at a higher level and even if the Human World itself would be used as a processing resource it would still be not enough to process the Digital World's data.

[@zmman9243]

The important thing to remember about Digimon when comparing them to Pokémon is that their evolution lines aren’t linear because they’re Digital Monsters comprised of data, so typically a Digimon has evolution lines run horizontal meaning several can reach the same final evolution through another tree from Champion to Ultimate and not directly point A to B. Digimon evolution forms are: In-Training I > In-Training II (which tend to scale a bit with Pokémon starters) > Rookie (tends to be around a Pokémon’s second evolution in terms of power) > Champion (and above tend to wildly and exponentially jump in power so at this point and past it Pokémon no longer can scale to them typically) > Ultimate (tends to be where Pokémon gods are at power) > Mega > Ultra/Burst (Mega/Ultra/Burst tend to be DBZ levels of power). Most Pokémon second forms would fall under Rookie/just touching Champion Digimon power levels. Source: Trust me, I Digimon and Pokémon competitively. And Gatomon, used in this clip, should have floored that Mienfoo without evolution because she’s a powerful level Champion form. Digimon Power isn’t based on size like how you can generally think of with normal (not legendaries) Pokémon.

[@Douglas628]

When she said "Die" I felt that... and then I was like: "Ah yes, that's the problem" :v It's not just the massive power gap between most of the monsters in the two franchises. In Digimon, most of the time they'll kill without thinking twice cause they've been fighting for their lives.

[@marshtomp8]

Plus in most series when a Digimon dies they're reincarnated as an egg anyways. It's only if you absorb their data like in Tamers do they stay truly dead.

[@hudhouse99]

I'd also argue the power gap is a lot less then you'd think. It's the issue that essentially each Digiform has its own level, and Pokemon can't change their level.

Sweet animation! Man, looking back on it, Even the subject matter of Digimon was far more intense as a kid. Pokemon was always about loving the pokemon world, and Digimon dealt with serious struggles with all the kids. Parents splitting up, being a latchkey kid, being out-of-place and lonely amongst peers, smart kids getting bullied, depression and isolation, fear of death. Digimon was pretty metal and underappreciated.

@@seanpazdera6407 ... Those were the heavy focus of the original series and it literally took working through these problems to use their Digimon's strongest forms, what do you mean "didn't approach properly" they were very upfront about them and IMO handled most of them fairly well for an anime I'm not saying it's perfect but given the time period and the content it was incredibly well done. Sure it's nothing compared to real life experience but it never will be. You cannot take such serious things and put them into a show and have everyone agree that it's a perfect representation. This is because everyone responds to the situation differently and will say stuff like "that's not realistic" because it wasn't how they responded, personally I fully closed off from everyone around me for 5 years due to a bad home life and getting bullied at school dove heavily into alcohol and reading and became severely depressed though I'm mostly better(still obsessed with reading and still drink every once in a while but that is nothing new), but I acknowledge that others become angry and confront people and scream and shout and just overall respond with hate or continue trying to be friendly only to take the hits and get back up again and continue to push forward because accepting whats going on would be worse for their mental health and others throw themselves into work or study, or so many other responses, simply put I don't think your giving Digimon enough credit for what it does.

@@thepress1790 Digimon was for kids. Specifically the male demographic, and that's not me just saying it, that's been stated since the first ever Digimon that it was a tamagachi for boys. It's kinda a thing that things directed at boys are a lot more violent and serious everywhere in the world. Like when you hear something is aimed at boys automatically death and life threatening scenarios are the norm and it's not uncommon for things to end with thousands of enemy minions dead in the first 30 minutes. The reason for this is boys react to the action and death by getting pumped up, it's cool and something exciting, I'm not saying girls can't but generally it's more of a dude thing, it's also the reason men tend to end up more violent and impulsive we are fed violence and constant action in almost everything we watch or buy, even down to simple childrens toys girls got dolls and house sets while guys got guns and dinosaurs.

Another massive difference was the way the shows were presented.

Showing how abuse and trauma will manifest and fester into a monster. Pokémon of course has its dark sides but the show never showed how horrible people can be in the same light Digimon did. They never showed the homesickness preteens and kids will have struggling to survive in a world that they shouldn’t be in. I love both of them tho and they each have their charms, instead of fighting over which one is better I think we should embrace them together

[@thecatastrophe132]

[@vincentsimbol7251]

Digimon actually earns the longer-than-they-need-to-be-let's-be-honest transformation scenes because of the banging theme that plays, haven't heard that opening rift since my childhood. This made me remember I used to play an NDS Digimon game back in the day, can't tell if it was a mainline game or a spinoff but it's completely different from Pokemon since it followed the party system that's usually in jrpgs.

[@Feraligatrfjhgujvgh]

Digimon really doesn't have spin-offs. It instead has 2 mainlines: World and Story. World games tend to do whatever the fuck they want, tamagatchi style gameplay to dungeon crawler action games. Story games tend to be more in line with traditional RPGs. The one you played was probably either World DS or Dawn/Dusk (They're only called World games in the west and are actually just called Story in Japan FYI). But yeah those transformation scenes are definitely only in there to cut production costs :P Still badass moments regardless, especially with Brave Heart kicking in :)

[@TheGuzeinbuick]

It's because Digimon come from an incredibly predatory and inhospitable world, where losing any confrontation means instant death. Pokemon evolved naturally alongside humans and fight each other for friendly competition. *We are not the same meme*

[@roninreviews4223]

That’s a really good way of looking at it

[@mercedeswalt6621]

Fascinating! That makes sense. There was no “fainting” in Digimon. Didn’t they just get absorbed by others?

[@Nicoviceful]

@@mercedeswalt6621 yup, they literally evolve by absorbing data from their environment and the enemies they fight against (and sometimes kill), which is why it's possible for a gabumon that lives in a tropical or forested environment and mostly fights against bug Digimon to evolve into a flymon

@@mercedeswalt6621 yeah, in some cases, your digimon just turn into an egg and loses all data it had. And it becomes something way more weaker than the previous form.

[@DemiCape]

To be fair, pokemon in the wild has life or death struggles happening all the time like nature in real life, we mostly see pokemon from the competition perspective. But yeah main characters in general is not in danger unless it is a battle against an evil team or encounter with a legendary pokemon.

[@DapperestDave]

I think the big difference is that most pokemon are based on like normal habitats or at least believable ones like. Oh yeah a camel that lives near volcanoes. Meanwhile digimon is like it's a Skeleton T rex with canons. Or A walrus THAT SHOOTS MISSILES. And like only legendaries and ultra beasts can even compare to that

Yes!! Basically the difference between pokemon and digimon story: in Digimon you have to save the digiworld, and not doing it might end both the digiworld and the real world where you came from. In Pokémon is just your individual career: becoming the best trainer in a world so safe a 10 year world can travel the world without adults or supervision lol.

in all honesty gatomon should have easily been able to handle that.
