    It's finished! Sorry I should have made that clear in the original post.

    EDIT: Oops, I think I posted this in the wrong spot. I didn't realize this is the "progressing" space. I'll see if a Mod can move it to the correct spot.

    -EDIT 9/15/2021- This is outdated information. Version 2.0 has plenty of Ultimates and Megas.

    Hi,

    Though rare, there are indeed some Ultimates and Megas, as you can see in the screenshot above (Myotismon, of course, is an Ultimate). The game is mostly Rookies and Champions however. I wanted to keep the power scaling mostly under control.

    Hi Guzeinbuick,

    Love the digimon concept! Pokemon and digimon came out about the same time but digimon didnt receive as much attention as pokemon BUT i am glad i could play pokemon as digimons (or is it digimon as pokemons... lol)...

    Are you able to convert it to .gba format please? the gba emulator on my android phone wont read .ips files :(

    Hi berserkerzx,

    Thanks for the support! I had a lot of fun making it.

    I believe linking GBA files are against the forum rules.

    All you have to do is download a clean version of a Fire Red ROM (off Google) and a program called Lunar IPS (also off Google).

    Fire up Lunar IPS, load your clean rom into it, and then load my Digimon IPS into it. This will transform the ROM file into Digimon Nova Red. Enjoy!

    Hi zapperil,

    Depends on your definition of "signature" lol

    I consider this a pretty big spoiler, so click at your own risk. Below is a list of the Ultimates and Megas that are available in the game:

    My pleasure. No other plans at the moment. I have wild dreams of supercharging Digimon Nova Red one day. Ideally, a Digimon would have potentially six forms. The evolution breakdown would look something like this:

    Levels 5-10 Botamon
    Levels 10-20 Koromon
    Levels 20-35 Agumon
    Levels 35-50 Greymon
    Levels 50-65 MetalGreymon
    Levels 65+ Wargreymon

    But that's obviously a much more ambitious idea. For now I want to see how well Digimon Nova Red 1.0 is received. If there's a positive reception I can begin thinking about making a Version 2.0. :)

    Hi. First of all I want to say that the game is mega fun and I would be very happy about a 2.0 version.
    I have also found a "bug": On Route 21 you can fish with the Super Rod Pupitar's.

    Hi BusteRS,

    Thanks for the heads-up! If there's more significant glitches I can patch them up in a Version 1.1 or something.

    Glad you're enjoying it. :) What's your team so far?

    Hi 10:22,

    Thanks for your feedback! In my opinion, the idea of a "back sprite" is kind of obsolete. I prefer the concept of a "side sprite" instead.
    For example,
    jK5IAw3.png


    Sadly, I don't have the artistic talent to draw new side sprites from scratch, so some of the in-training and rookie level Digimon side sprites have only subtle differences from their front sprites.

    so is there a file that lists the stat and type changes specifically? i love beedrill, and am using wormmon right now cuz i figured out it's the line beedrill got turned into, but i'm not sure i want it to be a final team member unless the bst got buffed, especially since i got another poison type in the party already.

    Hi pika1025, thanks for your feedback!

    Hi MegaKabutops, thanks for your inquiry. I can easily throw together a comprehensive list of every Digimon's stat changes and move pool and post it here, if you don't mind the spoilers. I'm on vacation right now away from my laptop though so you'd have to wait about a week.

    But yes, Wormon will evolve into Stingmon, which is like Beedrill but with higher stats and a better movepool. It's quite viable.
