Pokémon Spinoff: Digimon Adventure TCG

[Guzeinbuick]

And now for something really out of left field but I felt the world needed it anyway:

That's right boyos. It's the Pokemon TCG. But with Digimon.

Gameplay trailer:



Features:

• All Pokemon swapped out for Digimon
• All attacks shuffled and reworked for improved balance
• Less coin flips for increased strategizing
• Evolution cards buffed to be worth the investment
• All types balanced-- every type has exactly 2 weaknesses and 2 resistances
• Fighting and Psychic replaced with new "Earth" and "Dark" types, respectively
• Minor dialogue tweaks
• Streamlined attack descriptions, as follows:
• 
  
  Spoiler:

  "Inflicts Blindness." - Refers to the effect caused by attacks such as Smokescreen or Sand Attack in the original game. Afflicted Digimon must flip a heads to land an attack.
  "Inflicts Passivity" - Refers to the effect caused by attacks such as Leer or Tail Wag in the original game. Afflicted Digimon cannot execute an attack.
  "Bestows Immunity" - Protects user from all damage next turn.
  "Bestows Absolute Immunity" - Protects user from all effects (including damage) of attacks next turn.

Known Glitches:

Spoiler:

No game-breaking glitches discovered as of yet. Although there are few awkward moments:

• The AI is a bit dumb and doesn't know how to use cards with high energy costs. The Earth and Fighting gyms are pretty weak because of this.
• There are a few typos here and there. Sue me.

Documentation:

Spoiler:

Instead of writing a Word document or an Excel sheet I actually figured the easiest way to document every card would be to recreate them on pokecardmaker.net

To download every Digimon card in the game, click this download link:

FAQ:

Spoiler:

• "Couldn't you have gotten a little more creative with the DGMN powers? Many of them are too similar to the base game."
  "Innate" PKMN powers are inherant to the Pokemon card itself, and cannot be divorced from it. Similarly, other Pokemon cards cannot share in another's innate PKMN Power. No matter what, the Digimon that takes up Charizard's slot will always have Energy Burn, and the one the takes up Blastoise' slot will always have Rain Dance. This is hard-wired into the coding of the game itself and it will take a better hacker than I am to rewrite it.
• "No Megas? No branching evolutionary paths? Wtf??? These are the things that are supposed to make Digimon different from Pokemon!"
  I don't know how to code that. That would be awesome though.
• "I thought you were working on Digimon Gold? Where did this suddenly come from?"
  Good question lol. I made this on a whim once I discovered PokeTCG is surprisingly easy to work with. Digimon Gold/Crystal (whatever I decide) is on its way though.

Just finished it with this list:

Spoiler:

Betamon Aggro

10x Grass Energy
10x Lightning Energy
3x Double Colorless Energy
4x Betamon
2x Terriermon
1x Gargomon
3x Leomon
3x Piximon
1x Jijimon
2x Izzy
2x Energy Search
2x Energy Removal
3x Switch
1x Scoop Up
1x Computer Search
2x Pluspower
1x Defender
2x Item Finder
3x Gust of Wind
3x Potion
1x Full Heal

Really loved the run and the art is pretty amazing to be honest!
What I loved the most:
* The art. So cool to have custom sprites!
* Weakness/Resistances approach. It is so interesting to be always trying to mix and match your opponent threats. I'd maybe shuffle a little bit more the Weakness/Resistances even in the same type just to give some more interesting matchups.
* Hybrid attacks. They are so cool and really pushes you to make mixed decks. Piximon is my favorite one but Angewomon and Magna Angemon seems cool too.
* The attention to details to reskin all the game. Stuff like "tamer cards" instead of "trainer cards" or "Jijimon" instead of "Prof. Oak".

In the other hand I found it a little bit unbalanced. Some notes I took:
* I still don't know what Blindness does (e.g. Thunder Volt from Betamon). I dunno if it is buggy but I didn't notice any difference between a Digimon with or without Blindness.
* You wanted us to make mixed decks to compensate weakness & resistances but most of attacks are so expensive and intensive in energy requirements that that it's really hard mathematically speaking (e. g. Palmon's Poison Ivy, Kyubimon's Tengu, Raidramon's Thunder Blast).
* Betamon is completely nuts, 40 damage for an energy overwhelms any other Digimon and can 3 hit KO 120hp if needed.
* Since Energy Removal and Gust of Wind are still in the format, attacks for 4, 5 or 6 energies are almost impossible to do consistently.
* Earth is by far the worst type right now. I got that their deal is to be very beefy with lots of HP but theirs attacks are so energy intensive to worth the effort of using them over any other type or type combination.
* You can stall pretty easily with 2 Ghostmon. Maybe it is intended but there's a lot of ways of trapping your opponent in a 2 Ghostmon loop until you strike for lethal.

What I'd like if sometime we get an update:
* Nerfing Jijimon. It's already been done in Pokemon TCG Neo in this same community (drawing 6 cards instead of 7). I don't know if it's complicated to mod but maybe you can speak with its creator to know how it works.
* More hybrid attacks! =D
* Less energy intensive attacks and more with colorless requirements, just like Water that has a good mix of water & colorless energy requirements

 

[Mochorro]

Yeah, I tried the game yesterday for a while and I agree with the comment above! Good job!

Had some fun, the art is really cool, but energy requirements are very high. And maybe it is because Earth is very energy intensive, but when battling the AI these Pokémon requiring so many energies are badly utilized by them. I didn't go to other clubs, so maybe with different Pokémon something different happens, but I was winning battles with the weak KoDokugumon, because when I did certain damage, they stopped charging energies and didn't even attack me. Will keep going and try more combinations and see more opponents.

KoDokugumon + Gekomon was my deck most of my playthrough until I got my Betamons & Leomons.
Kodokugumon can deal 30 damage for GGG (20 + 10 poison) on the spot and his Power is relevant in multiples, you can time your evolutions when needed to stop critical turns of your opponent. In the context of this game that is kinda strong even if in the original TCG doing so was just regular.
I theorize also that we can make a deck stacking powers with paralysis lol.

Thank you for such detailed and thoughtful feedback! I guess I'll go through it one-by-one.

-"Blindness" is just the effect from attacks like Smokescreen, Sand Attack, etc. Streamlining the attack descriptions was one of my objectives for the hack.
-Yeah Betamon is a bit OP on second thought. I can nerf him slightly (and Leomon too) after I post this comment.
-Really? I was consistently attaching 5 or 6 energies to my mons if they were bulky enough to tank a few hits.
-Interesting! I actually had a lot of luck running an Earth-Fire deck.
-Yeah, that's true about Ghostmon. The enemy AI is pretty dumb so it's easy to cheese them like that. I like Ghostmon having vanish but I may end up swapping that out in a later update if I notice other players abusing it.
-I don't know how to change the effects of Trainer ("Tamer") cards like Jijimon/Prof Oak. Maybe if I take a closer look into the DIsassembly itself (instead of relying on EZ Card Editor) I can find the answer. But that would mean recompiling the whole game and having to input all the Digimon data all over again so I'll probably only get to it if the game is need of a huge overhaul.

Thanks again for the helpful feedback! Glad you enjoyed it! 😁

Yeah the AI is quite dumb sometimes because it thinks its still playing the original version. I may have to compensate for this by giving some of the Earth mons a cheaper, weaker secondary attack that the AI can actually select. Thanks for the feedback!

This game looks really good! Can't wait to play it!

Juts finished the game and got all the cards, it's an awesome romhack, I wanna say I liked what you did with the Mega-Level digis, making them Basic level mons,

Spoiler:

if you ever were to include Dukemon or do a RomHack of the sequel I fugking kneel.

I used four different kinds of decks, started with a Grass focused on Yanmamon, Sunflowermon and WarpPaildramon, a dark focused on WarpDigivolving to Miyotismon and Mephistomon, a Water one with Ebidramon, Gekomon and WarpZudomon and finally a normal/light Venusmon focused deck. My main ones were the Water and Dark

Water

My Thoughts overall

Spoiler:

. Fire is bad and Earth sucks, Grass is ok, Normal is good Water and Dark are broken.
Ebidramon and Zudomon have pretty low costs considering how hard they hit and how easy they are to get on the field and Zudo being This game's Blastoise allow you to arm you entire field very fast and its game unless the opponent has a Digitamamon or a Leomon and Gekomon is a very strong card being a elemental Wigglytuff with a strong initial attack which can paralyze so it's never useless.
Dark is also ridiculous with stuff like Ghostmon, Digitamamon, Numemon and the mons you can warp with strong attacks for low costs and no drawbacks.
Light/Normal is alright to good, Leomon is
Broken, Turuiemon and Gargomon are good to great depending how the RNG likes the rest are a mixed bag, most of them need multiple mixed energies or had bad effects like wasting all your energies, exception is Venusmon who takes only three, don't make you waste them, has decent power and a good effect.
Grass is ok, Yanmamon carried hard, Pail is good like a Exceggutor with a less RNG fallback if enough energy and Sunflowmon is decent.
Fire is bad, too much energy-hungry and makes you waste them constantly and Ground is rubbish needs a buff .

My Suggestions.

Spoiler:

Nerf the energy costs overall, 5 is too much, also if a mon uses more than one kind of energy for attack lock them to 3 at max. A good example is Venusmon,Zudomon and Rafflesiamon, the former has a 3 energy Fire-Eletric-Normal, decent damage and good effect the latters ones have good damage and take 3 energys but they need one different kind of energy so no solo water/grass builds that could easily promote cross usage of types.
Give Dark a weakness, no weakness makes them too strong and since their resists are scarce and not may people use them a good dark deck trivialize the game hard, even with a weakness they would still be great, maybe do like in TCG and make them weak to thenselves or the Normal typse since thats were the Holy mons are.
Mix the types weaknesses and resists, as the way they are now if your opponet has your type resist/weakness you're done for, all types having two weaknesses and 2 resists split between them is the way to go kinda like in the original TCG were for example Grass was split between Fire and Psychic for weakness, also I noticed the types have discrepancies on their weaknesses, some have all the mons share the same weakness (Grass,Fire) some almost do with a few outliners (Ground-Armadillomon and Electric Azulongmon) and some flip-flop between no weakness and weakness (Water and Normal/Light) in normal case okay, they have no weakness to prey but water is bad because they have a weaknesses to prey and have some really good cards to abuse this fact like Zudomon, Weregarurumon, TeslaJellymon, Moosemon and Yukidarumon if you like to pull a gotcha on electric decks.
Nerf Leomon BKF to like at max a +30 or even +20 Damage, there's no point using the second attack when you 1 energy attack can reach over 70 Damage and don't care about RNG. Decrease Digitamamon HP, that's too much HP for something with Mr.Mime effect also I don't know if that's on purpose but Kunemon has a absurd energy cost, 5 energys and 2 of those are from different kinds so it needs 3 different kind of energys on top on the amount.

Thanks for the extensive feedback! You've played a slightly outdated version; in the newest release Earth has received a slight buff, Leomon is not quite so broken and Kunemon's attack cost (it was originally a glitch) has been patched.

I'm thinking about nerfing Water type a bit. Their whole shtick is that they have low energy costs but also low HP, kind of a "glass cannon" sort of deal. I think I may also weaken their damage output a bit in the future.

Concerning weaknesses, the Water mons that have no resistance or weakness are the "Ice" types. Colorless is split between "Normal" and "Holy" types, so some of them are weak to Dark and some of them resist it. Making Dark weak to colorless would kind of throw that off, plus I don't know how to hack that anyway. Armadillomon randomly being weak to water instead of grass like the rest of the Earth mons is literally just to speed up the tutorial duel lol. I like the idea of each type having two different weaknesses and resistances but to be fair, in the original tcg, only water, grass, fighting, and colorless were like that. Fire was always weak to water and electric was always weak to ground. The only way I could see Lightning being weak to something besides Earth would be making a subset of "robot" types that are weak to fire. Well, it could work potentially.

Thanks again for playing!

I have been greatly enjoying the game! Been playing a Warp Darkness deck similar to the one posted above. I do find a lot of the energy cost choices a bit odd but im sure you have your reasonings. That being said, you had mentioned having a lot of luck running Earth-Fire and i would really love to see that list. it sounds very interesting. Hoping to upload some videos on this hack in the future. it has definitely been keeping m attention.

Could we have a release history log or some versioning somewhere?
I'd like to replay it again from the beginning if balances and fixed were introduced since my last playthrough =)

Glad you're enjoying it! And yeah my "lava" deck is as follows:

Spoiler:

Fire Energy x10
Earth Energy x16
Jijimon x2
Izzy x4
Energy Search x4
Computer Search x2
Full Heal x1
Sunarizamon x4
Monochromon x3
Vorvomon x4
Lavorvomon x3
Lavogaritamon x2
Volcdramon x4
Apollomon

Could we have a release history log or some versioning somewhere?
I'd like to replay it again from the beginning if balances and fixed were introduced since my last playthrough =)

Just now I've released a re-balanced version. The changes are as follows:
-Leomon's Beast King Fist is now more expensive
-Kunemon's Palsy Thread has proper energy costs
-An additional 10 HP has been added to all Earth mons (except the Armadillomon line and Vorvomon line)
-Most water mons have had 10 damage reduced from their attacks

Feel free to give it a spin!

Mix the types weaknesses and resists, as the way they are now if your opponet has your type resist/weakness you're done for, all types having two weaknesses and 2 resists split between them is the way to go kinda like in the original TCG were for example Grass was split between Fire and Psychic for weakness, also I noticed the types have discrepancies on their weaknesses, some have all the mons share the same weakness (Grass,Fire) some almost do with a few outliners (Ground-Armadillomon and Electric Azulongmon) and some flip-flop between no weakness and weakness (Water and Normal/Light) in normal case okay, they have no weakness to prey but water is bad because they have a weaknesses to prey and have some really good cards to abuse this fact like Zudomon, Weregarurumon, TeslaJellymon, Moosemon and Yukidarumon if you like to pull a gotcha on electric decks.
Nerf Leomon BKF to like at max a +30 or even +20 Damage, there's no point using the second attack when you 1 energy attack can reach over 70 Damage and don't care about RNG. Decrease Digitamamon HP, that's too much HP for something with Mr.Mime effect also I don't know if that's on purpose but Kunemon has a absurd energy cost, 5 energys and 2 of those are from different kinds so it needs 3 different kind of energys on top on the amount.

Any chance we can get a peek at the Grass and Venus decks?

Some notes:
* Betamon was nerfed and I think it is balanced but still powerful so good work there!
* Sadly, since Betamon is nerfed the new best aggro option is Jellymon which is a strictly better Betamon. I even used it without needing to evolve it but it is even better if you have 1 or 2 Teslajellymon as a energy sponge for the midgame (if there is a midgame). I recommend nerfing to meet Betamon standards so the choice is not so easy.
* Earth digimon are better and more interesting with the HP boost, now they work as a stall tool. Maybe consider giving them some 2 energy attack options (like, I dunno, CCC for 20 damage or E for 10 damage).
* Leomon is not interesting at all right now, CCCC to attack is a lot, maybe downgrading that attack cost to CCC and lowering 10 hp will make it more playable. Or maybe giving him another attack for 2 energy could make that attack for CCCC more interesting.
* Venusmon is probably the best digimon in the game, 100 HP, immunity, no weakness and a decent attack. I'd consider giving her a weakness, less hp or a more expensive attack, she is so efficient right now.
* There is not a single milling option currently in the game and I love playing stall with Moltres in the original game. Could you consider adding the mechanic to any Digimon? Any effect of mill would be appreciated =)
* The best Electric Digimon are not Electric (Jellymon and Gatomon). That could be a little misleading I guess.
* Piximon is incredibly efficient. I'd consider nerfing Pitt bomb (maybe for GLCC or with the same cost but 30 dmg), or nerfing HP a little.
* Coelamon is pretty efficient. 50 for W is a lot, maybe 40 for W to keep its identity as a speed attacker.

Overall I enjoyed much more this version with the little balance changes that you added and I'd gladly try it again if there is another release =)

EDIT:
I just won the colosseum with this Earth list. I'm theorizing what the "weakest" type could do without the Earth/Fire Lava build and I'm really happy with the results. We can set up a good Stampede for 60 with a 100 HP digimon pretty easily and lock the opponent with Quetzalmon:

Spoiler:

Stampede
6x Lightning Energy
8x Earth Energy
4x Double Colorless Energy
4x Jellymon

3x Quetzalmon

1x Super Energy Removal
1x Switch
1x Scoop Up
1x Computer Search
1x Defender
1x Item Finder
3x Potion

1x Full Heal

We could change Jellymon for Ghostmon and remove Lightning Energy for full Earth energy if we want a more "Stampede" and less beatdown version but I'd rather have a 2nd type attacker because it is annoying to hit Grass for only 30 instead of 60.

And this is the 3rd deck that I used to win the colosseum (it's a Grass one):

Your feedback will be implemented soon! Right now I'm working on another release, one that makes superficial changes to the Tamer cards so the game feels a little more fresh (for example, energy removal is now "Data Drain" and Pokemon Center is now "Final Heal," etc.).

I'll let you know when the next update drops. Thanks again for being such an extensive play tester!

Sure.

Yanmamon is the MVP of the team. Do-The-Wave for one energy is broken.

In the past I used HolyAngewomon but since I hated Digitamamon I changed to Tailmon so I could attack the backline.

Just now I've posted an update:

-Every type now has two weaknesses and two resistances.
-Some broken Digimon nerfed, some lame Digimon buffed
-New title screen. My dumb ass only just realized that perhaps not everyone can read katakana.
-All Tamers new sprites except for Gamble (I couldn't think of anything)
-Azulongmon has been replaced with Junomon to keep with the whole "The Legendary Cards are humanoid Digimon" theme
-I wasn't satisfied with the old Goblimon sprite so Goblimon and Ogremon have been replaced with Impmon and Beelzemon, respectively.

This will probably be my last update for the foreseeable future! I now consider the game fully complete. Even still, I welcome constructive feedback. :)

Yeah the grass deck with Yanmamon is really easy to set-up. Easily one of the best decks to play. Maybe Do the Wave for CC? Since Yanmamon is not as bulky as wigglytuff

I know you said you're done, but how about Zenimon or Ganemon for Gamble?

Ooh, good idea. But no Zenimon or Ganemon sprite exists online unfortunately.

 

[Paperfire88]

It Didn't exist, until Now:

The one on the left is the one that has 4 colors just in case Xd. I would say that this was the most Humanoid Thing I have ever done.
