Idea for a video called what if appmon and digimon fused

Too bad there isn't a Snow Garudamon yet for Rinkmon to Digivolve into.

The funny thing about these videos is, even the "out there" picks of yours are still not as out there as some canon Digivolutions 😂

[@Karn_EX]

Haha true!

[@thomasthecoolkid7228]

DOG TO CAT TO ANGEL TO DRAGON No I won't let go of the official Gatomon line being silly

[@Swagpion]

​@@thomasthecoolkid7228 and this is why I dont see Ophanimon as the official Mega. Logic shouldnt be in the Gatomon line.

[@thomasthecoolkid7228]

@@Swagpion Some people just like the counterparts to be counterparts at Mega level

[@aprilfools9741]

I love that Spinomon is finally getting some action, underrated mega level Digimon honestly.

[@aviculor]

I think Impmon's new evos work really well with Gumdramon and Arresterdramon. I can also see the final stage evolving from Destromon

[@joshfarmer8408]

I can't wait for the golden armor evos. Especially with how "weird" golden rapid and magnamon are

[@Karn_EX]

Haha yeah that'll be fun!

[@raikaria3090]

Fun fact, Kenkimon is one of the few armors with a CANONICAL evolution, in the OG TCG Kenkimon -> Bulbmon/Valvemon was printed on a digivolution option card!

[@golisobro5296]

0:55 I think the new Impmon mega could also be a pretty good mega for the Gumdramon line, which has lacked a really fitting mega for a long time. Although I would much prefer if it got a dedicated mega of its own. Maybe an idea for a custom art video down the line

[@WalkerGallier]

Things I didn't expect first thing this morning: Hearing Cyborg 009 mentioned

[@chrisd1982]

Love that rabbitmon line, I really like the idea of patamon going pegasusmon to chirinmon to godramon and have been trying to think of a matching line gatomon to magnadramon, admittedly i would have liked it to be nafertimon but your rabbitmon line just works amazingly

[@Atom85825]

as much as i hate how rabbitmon as a friendship armor evo, your evo choices actually make so much sense that i feel like if armor evo is a thing i wouldve been fine with these choices of kyuukimon and magnadramon/cherubimon

[@i.m.evilhomer5084]

I feel like Thunderbirdmon was a rejected Hawkmon armour that was repurposed for Impmon. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if other armour Digimon, such as Sepikmon & Mambomon, were designed for different armours & mons but were repurposed at the last minute.

[@Maswartz226]

You will never convince me that Thunderbirdmon wasn't supposed to go to Hawkmon.

[@Swagpion]

Wait it ISNT Hawkmon?

[@i.m.evilhomer5084]

@@Swagpion Did it digivolve from Hawkmon, but only in a 20+ year old card & it wasn't even a Friendship evo.

[@couchpotato3197]

My idea for Raidramon/Lighdramon is BlackRapidmon since both are dogs (kind of) and Rapidmon started off as an armour in 02 as gold Rapidmon.

[@Karn_EX]

Fun pick!

[@chrisbuttonshaw2088]

having been old enough to watch Pokemon/Digimon from the start, it's crazy how many Mons there are in each now.

[@StarkMaximum]

I really appreciate that you threw in a line for PileVolcamon, as basic as it was, because I've been having a _lot_ of fun designing Digivolution lines inspired by various aesthetics I enjoy and Digimon I want to highlight, and I ended up with exactly the line you came up with for PileVolcamon to highlight my love of rock/earth-themed characters! It's a pretty natural line but it always feels good to see someone else validate you.

[@nixtypikal]

9:52 In technical terms, "upright" is described as orthograde and animals with bodies parallel to the ground are pronograde.

[@Karn_EX]

Thanks!

[@MegaGigaPetarD]

Those are good picks and thematicaly good evolutions. I hope you will do this for others armor evolutions. Imagine BombCat as digimon. 😁

Me a few hours ago: watches the video on courage armor lines Karn:

[@Karn_EX]

Synergy 😂

[@kaviddurr5106]

Togemogumon mega should be Blastmon.

[@jpcsdutra]

Had the same idea while watching the video. Really drops the animal theme hard, but it does make the spikes and the color more justified

[@ethanleach1252]

Could use Gogmamon as the ultimate, maybe?

[@couchpotato3197]

​​@@jpcsdutraBlastmon has an attack named hedgehog roll or something to be fair

[@MGDrzyzga]

My favorite picks are your Gatomon and Wormmon lines. (I even called Magnadramon before you said it). And interesting thing about AncientMegatheriumon - it's got more than four legs. So I feel like that's a nice way to bring it back to Wormmon. Also, I just love Frozomon, so I'm always happy to see it show up in a line.

[@okaminokuro]

I'm a simple man, i see Cherubimon, i like.

[@austinhill9762]

[@joshuarunnie4734]

Always love seeing these videos, going down memory lane of how strange some of the armours were is a lot of fun!

[@samueljackson5436]

the wormmon one is fun because the ultimate keeps the *caterpillar* tracks

[@jpcsdutra]

I hate how clever and smooth that was, goddamn

[@jpcsdutra]

I've seen the digivolution table for the Armors a billion times and it never ceases to shock me how they started making digimon that were clearly meant to be armors, and then just repurposed designs halfway through. AND THEN they used a dartboard to decide what became what besides Veemon. How is Thunderbirmon not a Hawkmon evo? It even keeps the native american theme. How is Togemogumon not an Armadillomon evo? Great video as always

[@scientistservant]

What I love about Thunderbirdmon being an Impmon evo is that it could also tie-in to Zhuqiaomon in Tamers!

[@Theshadepollomon]

Video idea: Olympus 12 mode changes (for example apollomon whispered or jupitermon wrath mode)

[@dramonmaster222]

Happy Wednesday Karn EX! And Yes to exploring Digimon evolution lines.

[@StellarWheat5]

I'm surprised you haven't made custom art for this consept. For the ones that appeared in the show of course, doing all of them would be practically impossible due to money.

[@Karn_EX]

We have! Check the channel, we Digivolved all the 02 Armors further :)

[@coolbone6177]

I've been waiting for this Video. It is finally Here Wooooh Karn

[@Karn_EX]

Yay, hope you enjoy!

[@rayhayes7701]

These are wild and I love them

[@GrandisKuwagamon]

Video idea: Swap Armors until they match the Rookie and Crest the best. Use whatever constraints you want to work within. Like only the part of the chart with full galleries for all the Crests.

[@e2011ugdia]

5:26 maybe it could be the main evo of mon mon since the green and brown fur on sepikmin resembles mon mon

[@raymondchapa2039]

Incredible videos 100/100

[@Karn_EX]

Thanks!

[@timothyfrasier8218]

Another great video

[@aviculor]

Crescemon and Dianamon also fit as Bitmon evos since they're pink rabbits, and they actually add the blade aspect of the friendship digimental as well as being blue/silver

[@shinrailp1416]

For the Patamon line i'd say rather than Triceramon my pick would be Mametyramon here. The small guy has the helmet on his head to fit the whole armor theming, he has spikes on his head and tail and his base coloration fits pretty well with Patamon and Spinomon. And i like the idea of this small unassuming guy just exploding into this mass of claws and blades on evolution, kinda fits with the normal Patamon line of the small animal becoming a ful blown angel that nobody saw coming.

[@BassGosple]

I hope by the time you get to Manticoremon Digimon reveals some cool new digimon that would fit. Love Manticoremon, but there's nothing BEASTLY for it to Evolve into that looks & feels natural.

[@loganthomas5736]

I love the Impmon/Thunderbirdmon line because it reminds me of Kouki Tsubasa from Savers.

[@Finchyay]

One evo I’ve considered for Kenkimon recently is actually LoaderLiomon just because I feel like the drill mane does a better job at kind of keeping the construction aspect than Valvemon who really only keeps the blocky/geometric body shape of Kenkimon and largely ditches the construction aspect in favor of just becoming a vehicle, only problem being that the only mega I really like for LoaderLiomon being HeavyLeomon which I guess can still sort of give construction vibes with the pile bunker it has on one arm and the overall mechanical look is has going on like with the wheels on its feet

[@milosstosic553]

Loved the video, honestly they should give Togemogumon to Armadillomon it just work so good and maybe, here me out, Stegomon should be Wormmon friendship armor while Patamon friendship armor should be Moosemon.

[@milestinker2178]

In addition to how Togemogumon should have been Armadillomon's Friendship Armor, Stegomon should have been Wormmon's Friendship Armor, because of the mostly green color scheme shared between Wormmon and Stegomon. Oh! You should do a video where you reassign the various non-show Armor forms to different, more appropriate Rookies than their official ones. And/or maybe reassign them to different, more appropriate Digimentals as well, like how you said Sepikmon looks more like a Courage Armor than a Friendship one.

[@yep_itsmeagain]

HE'S BACKKKKKK FOR SOME MIDDAY FUN. LETS GOOOOOOOO. Did you see Digimon was trending earlier lol this video is the first tweet. I was like my guy? My guy Karn got Digimon to trend!?!?!? Lol

​@@Karn_EX Hey guess what! That link cyborg, if you look closer, you see... *"Ah! Perry the Platypus!!-"*

[@AgentWebs]

I know it's already another adventure perfect, but Stegomon to Zudomon to Spinomon works pretty well visually

[@goldmemberpb]

it is wild just how loose you can be with connecting digivolution compared to something like pokemon evo. Like you can have a horse digimon digivolve into a three headed bird and be perfectly fine with it.

[@matthewdykeman8149]

They seriously gave Impmon a Growlmon family line. Hey Bandai, keep cooking for my boi please.

[@cofagrigusfan24]

my best connection to Armadillomon to Sepikmon is that the shell, turned into the mask

[@pieguy5323]

I never realized this by guardromon (the steam punk robot) into kenkimon (the more modern robot) is a line I really like

[@master-of-dreams7455]

My ideas are the following - 1. Kenkimon into Frozomon into Raidenmon 2. I rather like Armadillomon into Sepikmon into Boutmon into Achillesmon. 3. Brachiomon could also work as the bridge between Stegomon and Spinomon imo (plus it has a bubble-based attack like Patamon!)

[@alynsix2035]

Just had a really good idea for a video, or stream. Either choose or randomize a rookie level And a mega level. Then find a champion and an ultimate that fills in the gap to have it make sense in a line.

[@MrSasyB]

I like crescemon because the crest of friendship of course is associated with wolves so the moon element is interesting and works well

[@TheSodaCurtis]

I’ve always approached it from your point of view… digimon are data so they can pretty much be configured and reconfigured any which way it seems… I always wondered what would happen if there were a season where digidestined could design their own starters like a full set of guillomon

[@axels3188]

These all good choices.

[@OtakuJuanma2]

I've been thinking about the Liberators Impmon evolutions and seems logical for them to be called PunkGrowlmon, MetalGrowlmon (for the music, not the material) and... maybe DethMegidramon? Or maybe the names won't have any allusions to the Guilmon line, who knows

[@DarthSanguine]

Magnadramon would make so much more sense as Gatomon's mega if Kyukimon was her actual ultimate. As it stands, the only mega that really fits going off of Angewomon is Ophanimon.

[@CeranVA]

One of the worst parts about the armor Digivolutions is that the ones in the show were all designed to be toys, while the others were an afterthought. This would be why some have no resemblence at all to their rookie forms, despite being created with the imagery of "Rookie wearing armor" in essence.

[@lorddarthkairos01]

Excellent!!! Yeees

[@aaronolson6736]

Heavy Leomon serving as an alternate to Breakdramon lets Valvemon serve as a sort of cocoon stage for the machinery as both megas have a construction theme in common with Kenkimon.

[@Finchyay]

I actually considered something similar, though I actually swapped Valvemon for LoaderLiomon

[@MrHagarenViper]

I feel like SlashAngemon would make a really interesting Rinkmon final evo, even moreso when you consider the arbitrary 'SlushAngemon' dub name.

[@Potent-potential]

Cool vid.

[@johnnycage112]

I'm an old timer cause that shadow in the thumbnail reminds me of the shadow card from the intro to Cardcaptor Sakura.

[@MugenCannon97]

you can have an adult level become armour level in canon, funnily enough. in savers, a drimogemon becomes a digmon to fight geogreymon and gaogamon.

[@michaelliggett1622]

Funfact un related to the video the new hexablumon card from digimon liberator has the witchinly trait they officially made it part of witchinly even tho dreamers basically retconned witchinly to be another part of the digital world

[@lucanigro7316]

Why does part of me think stego mon would be a better for an armadillomon crest of purity evo i can’t be the only one great vid btw

[@Karn_EX]

Haha honestly there's so many that work for Armadillomon instead of the Digimon they're assigned to. Thanks!

[@user-nm1eu1xu1j]

impmon's liberator mega ironically looking like megidramon, the digivolution caused by beelzemon's actions

[@Jmon7007]

Sepicmon really should not be armadillomons friendship armor, as much as I love the boomerang monkey lol, bandia probably realized that so they gave him kenimon which definitely woks way better

[@benjaminseelking9483]

It is a real shame there is no Monkey Mega that is based on Sun Wu Kong from Journey to the West. A Wukonmon would have been far better to end Armadillomon´s line here, based on your Argumentation

[@coryvincent9631]

The logic of Sepikmon to me was always that it used Armadillomons SHELL to make its weapon and mask. To me, the mask is the digimon/key element. And so Id go into that new chinese mask monkey and then into maybe vikemon or some other primitive warrior/white fur vibe.

[@iconiccMMM]

I was always fancasted rinkmon’s mega to be valkyriemon

[@Potata_Potato]

I’m partial to Rabitmon to SistermonBlanc (Awakened) to LovelyAngemon for Gatomon.

[@NightmareZerogbs]

we REALLY need a Mega for Tyranomon, MasterTyranomon has gone without a real evolution for so, so long

Basically what im asking is if there are any vids where i may get some inspiration for my fox digimon.

If not then i can work on it myself or its just back burner stuff.

[@purpleraider8105]

Something I like about digimon over pokemon is the freedom and willingness to experiment to play with evolution. I've had the idea for a while to assign pokemon digimon levels but something that makes it so difficult is how rigid one franchise is and how loosy goosy the other is

Small nitpick: the cuts in different audio takes are really noticeable lately. Maybe it's better to have some pauses in the audio instead of cutting? If you find yourself splicing different takes a lot, a maybe it's better to redo the take? Still enjoying the videos of course, just something I thought to mention.

[@Karn_EX]

I'm actually barely splicing different takes and have edited the exact same way for a couple years now lol

[@MegaDeox]

@@Karn_EX I dunno then. Maybe it's an export glitch or something.

[@RialVestro]

You keep saying that Armors are basically just Champions but I don't think they are. If you were going to compare them to traditional evolution lines at all I honestly think the lines would actually look more like this. Veemon > Flamedramon > Raidramon > Magnamon Patamon > Pegasusmon Gatomon > Nefertimon (And I kind of feel like the Anime ALWAYS treated Gatomon as the Champion because that was always her default form so Nefertimon would be Ultimate just as Angewomon is Ultimate even though the male counterpart is a Champion.) Hawkmon > Halsemon > Shurimon Armadillomon > Digmon > Submarimon Terriermon > Gargomon > Rapidmon (And I know that's a Tamers thing not an 02 thing but he did Digivolve to Gargomon first and the Golden armor was presented as being a lot stronger than his normal evolution so I feel like the Tamers evolution line also works here.) Admittedly it is a bit weird for Veemon and Armadillomon to start off bipedal and then evolve to a quadrupedal form... not even really quadrupedal in Submarimon's case since he doesn't actually have any legs just a couple feet, but the show introduced them in that order and kind of made it seem like the second armors introduced were more powerful than the first, as if that was them digivolving further. I'm not sure how to treat the armors that were never actually in the series. I'd call them Champion unless it can evolve from a Digimon that is already Champion level or it's a Golden armor. The Golden armors I'd assume are Mega if it's Miracles or Ultimate if it's Destiny which is just my way of explaining away why 2 different Digi-eggs lead to the same evolution.

[@Finchyay]

Personally I feel like Armor evos can vary in terms of level depending on what you want to use them for

[@kickbrosmasher5155]

I'm sorry but your choices for thunderbirdmon were so lazy

[@Karn_EX]

And what makes them lazy exactly? I'm enamored by a new line and really like Thunderbirdmon being part of that branching line when it's already an Impmon armor. Would you prefer I be inauthentic and pick a random line I think works worse just for the sake of it?

[@kickbrosmasher5155]

​@Karn_EX nah I just thought It was lazy because you just replaced one digimon in the line with another. Also none of the other digivolutions in the line were birds nor felt that all that connected with the digimon itself. And I just feel the other digimons were there for impmon and not thunderbirdmon
