Game Changes

 * Locations are not given to you to perform quests. You must travel through locations to find other locations.


 * DNA digivolution specific digimon are absent so, for example, Angemon can digivolve to Shakkouamon without an Ankylomon


 * Digieggs (Digimentals) and Spirits are obtained, for the most part from digimon as bug plates that need to be repaired and inserted into the evolutionary trees


 * The experience system has changed, removing the types of experience.


 * A new type of requirement has been added called さいのう (Sainou) which is the number of times a digimon has changed (Whether it be digivolution or degenerating)


 * Spirit stat has been removed, replaced with the above, Sainou.


 * Plant/Insect Digimon have been divided into two separate catagories, resulting in 9 types of digimon


 * There are no egg exclusive Digimon, because the “must have befriended” requirements have been removed, although they have been replaced with “Must have plate X” (For example, To devolve Salamon to Calumon, the requirements are: Azulongmon, Baihumon, Zhuqiamon and Ebonwumon Plates have been replaced.)

Obtainable Digimon
In Digimon Story: Lost Evolution, like its predecessors, Baby Digimon are classified as In Training, and Armour Digimon are classified as Ultimates.

Game Info
A group of beings known as Erazers have broken into the Digibase and in the process damaged the evolutionary trees kept in the Yggdra Room. The player must go out on a journey with their Digimon to restore their Digivolution patterns by battling enemies to obtain Bug Plates which hold the data for Digivolution. Once a Bug Plate is obtained it must be repaired through special tools used with the stylus. Once the repairs are complete the plate must be added to the tree, restoring digivolution.

To digivolve, the level and parameters must be raised to a sufficient amount, as well as having the correct Digiplates. De-digivolution is also available to downgrade digimon so they can take another branch of the digivolution tree.

The starting partner is always Agumon, and he is the main partner in the storyline. Shortly after arriving in the Digital World, the player is forced to recruit a Gabumon. As soon as the DigiFarm system opens up, Renamon will give the player a Dorumon, Falcomon, and one of ToyAgumon, Kudamon, or Palmon, depending on what kind of DigiFarm is chosen.
