WELCOME TO THE DREAM OF THE DIGITAL WORLD ARCHIVE

A small update to fit with the profile change I did before
The Digital World Archive is where I share everything I know about Digimon, from the old V-Pets to modern games and anime, and more.
I hope to talk even more about Digimon in 2025!!

And sadly, when multiple Digimon are added at the same time, they do a single image featuring all of them... resulting in some Digimon having to be put with sizes almost the same as they have in the online encyclopedia or just a bit larger, meaning that we still don't have full higher-quality art

Although Digimon Story Time Stranger still has higher resolution art in the cards than the online Encyclopedia, sadly, many of them were cut images and not the full thing, so some details can only be seen now that the art is being released for the online encyclopedia.

Although I wrote this text with the intent of being more personal, another reason why it basically has no images is because there's almost no space for more in my account anymore. I'll need to somehow upgrade from the free plan if I want to publish the Digimon Tamers text.

As a fun fact, when the interior of the Tamagotchi spaceship was first depicted in the manga "Soft-boiled Tamagotchi", the ones inside it were Babytchi (Original Tamagotchi), Kuritchi (Who would appear in Tamagotchi Osutchi and Mesutchi), and Botamon from Digital Monster Ver.1.

After a long absence, I'm picking back up the Digimon Tamer: Brave Tamer Wonderswan translation project! Made a good amount of progress the last few days, and really hoping to get it finished this year!

Watching Digimon Beatbreak's last episode, I remembered that the joke that nanimon can mean "WhatMon?" as a question in Japanese is so old in Digimon itself that it actually predates Nanimon, like the last photo about Digimon Ver.3, but sadly, it isn't easy to translate directly.

When I did that post about the history of the Olympos XII before the release of Digimon Story Time Stranger I originally wrote an entire section discussing Greek myths, interpretations, and how there are many of them that go completely against what most think about them.
According to Director Tomono, while making Digimon Story Time Stranger they got Chronomon's profile and development notes.
Originally, the base was the Time God Chronos, but they merged it with the Harvest God Cronus, Zeus' father, for this game to connect with Jupitermon.

About 20 minutes for 2026 where I live.

2025 was such a strange year. I finally graduated, but this only means now more than ever I need to do more.

In my free time, I wrote and did a lot about Digimon here during 2025, but in 2026 I'll try to do more of other things.

My Biggest Inspirations In Digimon

If you were asked to close your eyes and imagine Digimon, what is the image that comes to your mind?

As my last text of the year, I'm introducing the works that make up the form of my foundation of Digimon.

After Digimon Story Time Stranger, I wonder if Media Vision will be the developers for the next Digimon Story.
Isn't necessarily related to Digimon, but in the Famitsu Game Creators' comments, they shared that in 2026, they'll start the preparation phase for multiple new titles.

In my time zone, I'll make my last blog post of the year later today. It'll be my main Digimon influences to end the year, showing what is in my mind when I say that I love the Digimon world. But after this, I think it could be fun to end the year here, just answering any questions if anyone has.

The Digimon staff has taken notice that Digimon's fanbase is growing, and in a connected manner.
Time Stranger's release seems to have increased the viewership of past anime, and Digimon Beatbreak is also doing well.
Many are enjoying Digimon for the first time, even streamers.
December 30, 2025 at 2:02 AM
Before Digimon Story Time Stranger's release, Director Tomono was fearful about players not enjoying it.
They were working with old methods (Like, when doing stuff with Unreal Engine wasn't commonplace), and they felt the it had areas they couldn't compete with modern games.

When new Digimon were added to Hacker's Memory, including Huckmon's other evolutions and the Sistermon, I thought they could update the Cyber Sleuth side to follow the lore, but they didn't.
So we have this line from the original game in the same story the Sistermon exist.
December 29, 2025 at 11:12 PM
Comparing with Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, in August 2014 the Digivice Ver.15th introduced a summary of the Royal Knight lore to commemorate the group finally being complete.
When the RK were explained in CS, they directly used the summary to introduce the group and members.

One thing the Digimon Story Time Stranger staff did to portray the characters emotionally was research past Digimon material. At first, they thought that respecting the franchise's past would give an emotional feel to the work, and so they did a lot of research.
December 29, 2025 at 6:20 PM
Today's feature is Zombie Plutomon.
They didn't mention him in the Time Stranger interviews, but I'm almost sure he (If not Plutomon as a whole) was another Digimon victim of the rewrites.
If one day they do a Q&A, I'm almost sure they would mention some plot that was planned and they scrapped.
December 29, 2025 at 5:20 PM
Also, looking at the featured Titan, like Parrotmon, Ultimate Brachimon, Sharkmon, and Skull Seadramon, I feel like they were considering having a brand new Perfect-level Digimon for the Factorial Area, but since they couldn't do it, they just used Ultimate Brachimon instead.
December 29, 2025 at 4:42 PM
Something surprising with Time Stranger is that this time, a lot of the Digimon added to the game weren't last stages. The usual is for new Ultimates to be added as they often bring more attention, to the point that fans ask why even make a Perfect or Adult without an Ultimate.
December 29, 2025 at 4:17 PM
Due to the story rewrites of Digimon Story Time Stranger, many plotlines were discarded, resulting in unused Digimon, and others were given an entirely different context. Great Gryzmon originally appeared in the story, showing it evolving into Callismon, but this was removed.
December 29, 2025 at 3:48 PM
Producer Hara once said that what took the longest time in Digimon Story Time Stranger's development was the story, and this time he and Tomono went on to explain about it and how the story wasn't originally coming together, and so they had to make a choice in what to focus.
December 29, 2025 at 2:21 PM
Regarding Time Stranger Season Pass, Producer Hara said there were various reasons they didn't use it to add some Digimon requested by fans, like Gammamon.
For example, if they added the entire Gammamon line, it would fill an entire DLC by itself, limiting the content.

I'll say one thing, we have been hearing about "Digimon Unification" for years already, but every time it's mentioned, the vast majority of the responses I see are people finding out about the project for the first time.
I think there's still a gap regarding overall perception.
For years Bandai and Toei started to establish a system with the intent to align all the individual Digimon content and unify them, wanting the IP to grow bigger and stronger.
Kunlun appearing in TS is just one of the many ways they are showing Digimon being connected.
December 29, 2025 at 5:00 AM
Kunlun, the host of Digital World Shambala, appearing in Digimon Story Time Stranger was a fast addition to it.
Although the setting of the Three Digital Worlds existed for a while, deciding on Shamabala and Kunlun was a fairly recent development that was added very quickly.
