I did a few minor anonymous edits here and decided it might be best if I just registered. Most of my edits will be (like I do on wikipedia) typo and link fixes.

My Digimon History
I was I think 11 or 12 years old when I got to know digimon. (early/halfway 2000) First saw a few episodes on ITV and later followed the series when they were on the local tv station. (dubbed again of course).

When I was 12 I also got my first digivice (a blue one, still have it). About a year later I got a Digivice D3 (blue one) and season 2 was on local tv. (later my sister also game me her red D3 and her blue digivice)

I got Digimon World a few months before that, it's one of the few games I still play once in a while (that and gran turismo). In my opinion one of the best games ever, it's quite chill, you can really play it at your own tempo. And you can also just put it aside for a while and then play again when you're in the mood again. A classic for me.

A little bit more than a year after that they released the D-power Digivice. I can tell you, the european version isn't that good. I have a blue D-power and up to this date the batteries that came with it are still running. (thank you for turning off the screen while not being used, f you for the stupid card slashing gameplay). I never got to finish the game in this one, the card slashing was so frustrating.

Around the same time Digimon World 2003 was released. I also bought it but got bored of it. To me it seemed like a very crappy pokémon ripoff. No more caring and a very tiresome battle system. A friend of mine actually liked the game and finished it (he never liked the care part in Digimon World 1).

After that I only cared about digimon like about once a year. Still it has a place in my heart, especially the first Digimon World game. I still like the concept of evolutions being determined by the care of your digimon. Too bad the series and the later games barely used this concept.

Because of this I'm also a big fan of the V-Tamer manga. In my opinion, that's how a digimon story should be. (Also notice the similarities to the first digimon game).

My Favorite Digimon

 * Gatomon
 * MetalMamemon
 * Gabumon, Veedramon and Renamon, MameTyramon also deserve a mention here.

Gatomon is my all-time favorite digimon.

MetalMamemon was my first Ultimate in Digimon World, from that moment on I thought he was so cool.

Gabumon is my favorite original v-pet digimon and also my favorite pre-Gatomon Digimon Adventure digimon.

I only started liking Veedramon after discovering the V-Tamer mangas. Now I think he's a very unestimated digimon and very underused in the series and games.

Renamon is my favorite Digimon Tamers digimon.

I only recently discovered MameTyramon, a very nice version of a MetalMamemon in my opinion. And I've always liked Tyrannomon more than Greymon.

I also prefer the virus Metalgreymon over the vaccine MetalGreymon. It's probably because of my love for the v-pet digimon even though I knew the vaccine version before the virus version.

MetalDavemon
MetalDavemon is a digimon I invented in 2002. The picture I have of it is still the one I made back then. It's mostly an edited picture of a MetalMamemon. Back then my idea was to make some kind of v-pet game featuring this digimon. I even made lcd pics for it.

A few years later when I could program a little bit I made a very buggy game in Visual Basic about this digimon. I had more fun making the game than playing it. (too buggy and very boring). It also introduced an evil version of MetalDavemon. Because of computer crashes and other computer problems I don't have any of these things anymore. But the idea was never really thrown away.

Over the years my programming skills increased and once in a while I would work on a making a digimon game. The last version was made in java. A very basic game, again had more fun making it than playing it. Recently a friend of mine got interested in the game and because of that I started working on it again. Not sure if I'm ever going to finish it but so far it's the most expanded version of the game I ever made.
