Digimon Analyzer



A Digimon Analyzer is special screen in every Digimon series that gives information on whatever Digimon is looked up through it. Each series features its own Analyzer, although Digimon Adventure features two. The Analyzer displays information on the selected Digimon, sometimes just its name, and at other times its level, attribute, type, and attacks. With the exception of the second Analyzer in Digimon Adventure, which is used by Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi through his laptop, and the one for Digimon Tamers, which is a function of the D-Power, the Analyzer is usually just a device to inform the viewer who the Digimon is.

Digimon Adventure
The first Analyzer for Digimon Adventure features a black and white box background, with the Digimon's picture inside a black box, the name written in blue lettering in a green box above the picture, a romanization of the name in English letters to right, and a purple and gold and a blueish green box to the side. With this analyzer, it is usually the Digimon themselves giving the information. This analyzer is used from the 's first entrance into the until the DigiDestined are scattered after 's defeat.

The second Analyzer is given to by   and is upgraded to allow Izzy to see data from the other DigiDestined's Digivices during their first physical meeting with Gennai. . The new analyzer features a black and red background with the words "Digimon Analyzer" in the background. A box shows a picture of the Digimon and their first known appearance in the background. The words appear above this in a box, written in two shades of purple. Three brown boxes appear on the side showing information on the Digimon.

Digimon Adventure 02
In Digimon Adventure 02, the analyzer is preceded by a multitude of analyzer screens flying around before the relevant one approaches the screen. This analyzer features the original black and white box themed background, with a yellow/orange/red box on the top of the screen and the words "Digital Monster" written in black lettering. The name of the Digimon in English letters is written in white lettering in between two white bars, below that on the left side was a picture of the Digimon with a green box below containing Digimon's name written in DigiCode. On the right side was three boxes (one black, one orange, and one silver) showing the Digimon's information.

Unlike other analyzers, the Digimon's picture is often briefly animated, usually showing the Digimon's recent action, or even the ending of their Digivolution, such as in the case of, , and.

Digimon Tamers
In Digimon Tamers, the analyzer is built right into the Tamers' D-Powers. When needed, a circular holographic screen appears above the D-Power. The screen features a picture of the Digimon in the center, with its name written in red letters and surrounded by a yellow box below it. Its stats appear in three red lines written around the picture. Though unreadable to the viewer, the Tamers are able to read the necessary information.

Surrounding the picture are, from outermost to innermost, a yellow single lined ring, a ring of dashed blue lines, followed by four blue quarter circle bars with similar clear spaces in the middle.

Most Digimon have a generic picture on the analyzer, but when a few Digimon appear, it shows what the Digimon is currently doing. Because of this, it can be used to spy on an enemy Digimon or help track it.

Digimon Frontier
In Digimon Frontier, the analyzer is usually narrated by or  in the English dub or the Narrator in the Japanese version. The analyzer screen starts off showing the platform the pose on at the end of their Spirit Evolution. The platform then goes horizontal and splits in half. A black background appears with various green shapes of data. The Digimon is shown in the middle with its name written in a yellowish orange box.

Surrounding the picture are four blue circles of different shades and designs. As the Digimon's information is being stated, two boxes, one green and one brown, are shown with the information scrolling through them.

Digimon Data Squad
In Data Squad, the analyzer would first appear with two greenish screens (similar to the episode title screen in the English version), closing over the screen, then opening. The screens showed a big picture of the Digimon in a black box, with their name writtten in white lettering at the bottom of the box. The background were small black boxes intersected with blue and green lines. Behind the picture of the Digimon were small green scenes showing the information of the Digimon.

Digimon Fusion
Digimon Fusion introduces skits named "Monitamon's Sakuteki", "Digimon Data Collection", and "Digimon Introduction Corner" to go over the stats and a short profile of a single featured Digimon per episode, while limiting the actual Digimon Analyzer to simple nameplates which appear throughout the episode. Unlike previous Analyzers, the Analyzer is for the benefit of the audience only, and the protagonists are not aware of it. Furthermore, it is expanded to include human characters and locations, and the same character can be called out in multiple episodes, or even multiple times in the same episode.

While in the Japanese version the analyzer is a white text, in the English dub it is changed as red for the protagonists, and purple for the antagonists. The English dub also removes analyzers for locations, and has the characters being called only once.
