Talk:Digimon Card Game (2020)

Draft
The draft below still needs a major overhaul for clean, professional writing, and needs to cite primary sources only -- no let's plays, fan sites, or fan channels. Anything speculatory needs to be burned from the article, not merely hidden. 13:34, March 5, 2020 (UTC)

Chrono Clash System
The Digimon Card Game uses what is called the Chrono Clash Gauge system. using a similar system from the Bandai card game “Chrono Clash”

How the system works is that each card has a cost. Playing a card will costs Time and will move the marker towards your opponents gauge. You can play as many cards as you’d like, but the moment the marker crosses the “0” and enters the enemy’s gauge, your turn ends.

Security
To win the game, you have to attack the enemy while he has no Security Cards in his stack. Each player starts with 5 face down cards, which act as Security. You can declare attacks at the enemy’s cards or attack them directly. If you attack an enemy while he has no Guardians, you win the game.

Card Types
there are four kinds of cards Digimon, Digitama, Tamer and Option.

Digimon
The Digimon Cards has a color, two costs, DP (Damage Points), a passive effect that the digimon keeps after digivolving and can have another effect that works only in that stage, and a level.

can be level 3, 4, 5 or 6, being rookie, champion, ultimate or mega.

Digitama
has no cost or DP but works as a preevolution stage for a digimon card, adding a passive effect and work to reduce the cost a digimon at lvl 3 has. Has a passive effect and a level (Level 2).

Tamer
Has a cost, an effect and can have a security effect (if this card goes in your security stack, has another skill)

Option
Has a cost, an ability and can have a security effect

Digivolution
Here , You can Digivolve as you please into higher forms, as long as they are the same color. You can craft a Digimon that has all kinds of different passives based on what choices you’ve made when Digivolving. For example, a Gabumon -> Seadramon -> WereGarurumon would have different passives than using Garurumon for the Champion stage (this assumes that Seadramon and WereGarurumon would be Blue cards).

Babies, DW:evo
do we wanna count the babies for dw:evo? each baby card has two baby forms on it (fresh and in-training) (and this is the first time they babies are involved in the card game). the koromon card shows a digiegg and botamon on it with koromon, though the rest just show the baby forms together. the cards themselves are named after the in-training form rather than the fresh form (so koromon, tsunomon etc).

so far we have


 * digiegg (its cracked open, showing botamon came out of it), botamon, and koromon
 * punimon and tsunomon
 * nyokimon and yokomon
 * tsubumon and upamon
 * yuramon and tanemon
 * puttimon and kyupimon
 * pafumon and kyaromon

so far all of them already are listed through other means, and would only effect pafumon and kyaromon right now - but theyre including the fresh forms of the in-training digimon as well so that theyre not left out I guess. I think we should consider this for DW:evolve.Marcusbwfc (talk) 10:53, May 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * Can you provide me a link? 13:02, May 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * Kyupimon and Kyaromon cards are here. I think I would agree that they're equivalent to other card-image digivolutions. Lanate (talk) 14:34, May 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * Koromon, tsunomon, yokomon, tanemon, upamon

the top of the card also says digitama (in english) which seems to give the implication they hatched from digieggs. (from fresh to in-training) Cards like Agumon says "Digimon" at the top. Agumon. they presuambly wanted to include both baby stages, but not as two cards each. its only relevant in regards to baby form cards.Marcusbwfc (talk) 15:05, May 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong agree. These would suffice just as the Win Ratio cards did. 15:38, May 4, 2020 (UTC)

localisation
So an english website has launched and the cards uses localised names like biyomon, grizzlymon, phoenixmon and rookie, champion ultimate etc - though the cards themselves are japanese.Marcusbwfc (talk) 05:14, June 13, 2020 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. 12:52, June 15, 2020 (UTC)
 * so do we count these as an official localisation? I'm mostly curious as if they continue to list cards (they only have the starter decks listed so far) one of them is Sirenmon's Dai'ikkyoku (Polyphony) so that could have them come up with some sort of localised name for it. theyre using the japanese names for tai, matt, and tk. Marcusbwfc (talk) 13:38, June 15, 2020 (UTC)
 * Taking a second look at the site, there are a few things that make me think this is just a machine translation. We should get the rest of the community's opinions, and also compare the text given with a proper translation of the JP site. 15:20, June 15, 2020 (UTC)
 * if you click on a card they spell digivolve correctly most of the time but there's an instance of "digivoluve". I think that typo shows a human did it as a machine would spell it right in all instancesMarcusbwfc (talk) 17:43, June 15, 2020 (UTC)
 * kay so the rest of the cards are up. and uh, they translate rukamon as "orcamon". I dont think there's any machine that would translate "ルカモン" as "orcamon"? where did that even come from lmao. and huh, Orcamon already exists. Bandai did a whoops. I think the fact they put "Orcamon" proves theyre manually entered. cerberusmon's attack is also named "Emerald Blaze", like the anime. sirenmons attack has been localised in this site to "Symphony No. 1". The Jagamon attack card has a completely new localisation of "Smashed Potatoes".Marcusbwfc (talk) 07:23, June 18, 2020 (UTC)
 * Also I followed some more links on the website: this is actually a localisation for Asian English branch of the franchise. main website. its for taiwain, Philippines, singapore etc. so these are asian english names, rather than american or european. bandai SEA are running this website.Marcusbwfc (talk) 07:51, June 18, 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to accept them as English names if the other editors are. 14:00, June 18, 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm slightly more hesitant myself knowing now that it's Bandai SEA, though I do like "Symphony No. 1".Marcusbwfc (talk) 14:50, June 18, 2020 (UTC)

Mechanics Draft
I've created a working draft for the mechanic section of this page. I'm planning to open my draft page up to a Discord group of local players to help wish this draft. I've only just seen the draft in the talk, so I'll put that into my draft as well after I've finished the parts I'm working on. Any comments and contributions are, of course, welcome.
