3:00 This shot is pretty funny. One of my first microtransaction was for a Lucemon egg in DMO (Digimon Masters Online), which I later used supplemental microtransactions to grind it's level up to digivolve
From what I've seen the only time a Gallantmon was listed as vaccine was from an old digimon card game so I just assume it was an error on the games part. Gallantmon and its X form are virus attribute
Calling baby digimon "free" attribute is, while practically correct, technically false. Properly, all pre-child level digimon have no attribute whatsoever, so you'll see their attribute listed as "None." They are functionally the same in the rock/paper/scissors game, sure, but the kinda lore-ish difference here is that baby and in-training digimon aren't actually capable of battling yet, hence, the whole attribute system is entirely pointless for them anwyas. I mean, yeah, you can attack them, but in the actual pets and most of the video games as well - also the card games too now that I think aboot it - you literally cannot ever send digimon that young into battle, like, the infrastructure of the game doesn't allow you to, so when babies are listed as having an attribute of "None" this is effectively saying they aren't compatible with the system because they have no offensive abilities to begin with. Also, functionally, in any situation where you COULD force these things to fight, they'd be at a MAJOR disadvantage, so that it's probably more accurate to say that the "None" attribute is weak against all others. Free, then, is an attribute introduced which specifically introduces the idea of ignoring the rock/paper/scissors thing altogether in a context that DOES include and fit into the existing battle mechanics. Before them, every digimon had a clear roll in a type of rock/paper/scissors situation the attributes were based aroond, yes, even back before the virus/data/vaccine trichotomy was invented. In the original generation of the Digital Monsters pets, adults only available to child A were something like a vaccine type, the ones only available to child B were like the data type, and the ones available to both were like viruses. So, Greymon beat Devimon, Devimon beat Airdramon, and Airdramon beat Greymon. It was more complicated than the simpler system the Pendulums introduced, but EVERY digimon fit into this system, even the "fail to meet all other criteria" adults like Numemon and Scumon, who were just weak to everything. So the free attribute was meant to be novel, not a form of "adult babies."
Think of vaccine data and virus like the alignment system in dungeons and dragons in terms of lawful neutral and chaotic
Or SMT

Pay to Digivolve!
generally i just ignore those.
if i can fling a mountain on the other guy, i don't care what he's composed of, everthing is an equally flat pancake.
YOu should do ecology video on Kokatorimon
Great recommendation! I'll add him to the lesson plan!
I didn't know most of this. Great work!
I agree like certain bug digimon nned love, example snimon! Bro was the first monster in digimon 01 but has no evolines!
I'll add Snimon to the lesson plan!
i love digimon
I was just reading the wikimon on Dukemon X and it said is both vaccine and virus, how does this work?
From what I've seen the only time a Gallantmon was listed as vaccine was from an old digimon card game so I just assume it was an error on the games part. Gallantmon and its X form are virus attribute
On wikimon, digimon's listed Attribute is any that it happened to have in any media.
I think most of my favorite digimon are Virus types
