Gameplay
Digi-Lab: Allows player to digivolve and assign or store his/her Digimon, with Mirei Mikagura as assistant.

Digi-Farm: A feature inside Digi-Lab. Allows player to train Digimon or search some items.

Digivolve: A Digimon can digivolve or even degenerate/de-evolve by fulfilling its requirements (mainly level and stats). One Digimon can digivolve to various Digimon with different requirements. Digivolution can only be done in Digi-Lab. Once a Digimon digivolves to higher level, their level will reset to level 1 but will get better stats and techs. With the exception the starter Digimon, a Digimon evolution tree starts at Baby level.

The challenge for the player is a possible evolution of a Digimon that is hidden by silhouette if the player never owned that Digimon. Player need to guess the Digimon's silhouette or simply by trial-error and save the game to figure out the Digivolution results.

Degenerate a Digimon to lower level allows the Digimon to get better stats growth when it re-digivolve to same Digimon. This sometimes needed to unlock some Mega levels to get the stats requirements.

Digimon Capture/Scan: At the start player will choose between three starter Digimon: Terriermon, Palmon, or Hagurumon. After that, every time player meets wild Digimon in battle (not included boss/forced fights), the player will scan all  the Digimon's data. With multiple battles against the same Digimon, it will eventually reach 100% scan (capped at 200%, higher % possibly for better stats) and the Digimon will be allowed to be summoned from Digi-Lab and become allies. The Digimon then can be taken care of by player (Digivolve etc)

Digi-Memory: The Player is allowed to bring many Digimon at once to the field (although only 3 assigned for battles), with Digi-Memory as capacity limitations. The memory numbers are dependent on the Digimon's evolution level (higher level, higher points). The Digi-Memory can be increased/upgraded as the story progresses.

As an example, players with 20 memory points can bring up to 10 Baby Digimon with 2 points each (2*10 = 20) but can only bring 4 Baby and 3 Rookie with 4 points each (4*2 + 3*4 = 20).

Battle System: Unless forced/boss battles, the battle triggers randomly on the map (similar to Digimon World 3). 3 Digimon will be active in battle but can be changed during battle. Players have the main commands as follows; Attack, Techs, Guard, Items, Escape, and Auto. The battle system for this game has a lot similarities to CTB (conditional turn based) from Final Fantasy X

Element Systems (weakness/resists) and Type advantages (Vaccine, Data, vs Virus thing) also apply in battles.

Additionally, during battles a game over will occur if all Digimon defeated. If 3 Digimon in battle defeated they will be replaced to reserve slots in party.
