Backtracking through one of the "corrupted dungeons" to check NPC dialogue, I came across a Gotsumon that shared my feelings. :)
(I eventually realized the Digivice has a built-in map in this game, which made keeping track of my position a lot easier!)

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!
