Hello, everyone. I've been doing some research and I felt it was a good idea to share some findings with you all.

I'm sure you've all noticed some changes, beyond that of the D-Comm. We all have a seperate digivice, and it seems to vary from person to person. From what I can tell, there at least four "archetypes" of digivice, which those from Witchelny say are called the "Soul", "Matrix," "Spirit, and "Xros Digivices."

I'd like to focus on the latter two, as they are the most starkly different from what we're used to. The Spirit Digivice seems to be based on the methods used by several individuals from a certain world, that were once present here before being sent home. From what they told us, they were able to use items called "Spirits" to evolve into digimon, rather than have a digimon partner. In this case, Yggdrasil has seemed to have replicated this method, and given two spirits to Tamers that have a Spirit Digivice.

The next is... rather interesting. The "Xros Digivice" seems to activate a process similar to evolution, except... well, the digimon are not actually evolving. Rather, they are uniting and becoming stronger. However, unlike Jogress, where two digimon become a single being, with this method of advancement, a single digimon seems to act as the core of the combination. Details are sketchy, but it seems as they grow in strength, the number of possible combinations will increase. Furthermore, Tamers with this sort of digivice seem to have more than one "partner", as it were. It seems they've all had their strength limited to the Adult level, however.

For those Tamers with a Soul Digivice, not much seems to have changed, besides a need to insert digi-soul to evolve our digimon. As for those with a Matrix digivice, from what I can tell, their focus is now on playing a support role through the use of supplied "option cards" and greater defensive options.

That is... all the general information I can provide. I only hope this has been of some use to everyone.

... I must say, Kyon, I'm not exactly comfortable with my life being likened to a children's program.

[unreliablenarrarator]

I never mentioned children, Touma.

[masterandhound]

That's who most toy-oriented shows are targeted towards, correct?

[unreliablenarrarator]

Or otaku, now which is more insulting now?

[masterandhound]

...

I'd say neither are that comforting an option, but I digress...

[unreliablenarrarator]

Yeah.

So I'll still find this a bit ridiculous considering my life before this world.

[which is funny because... well, his life before the digital world ahahaha.]

[masterandhound]

... I will admit, there are some... ridiculous aspects to all this.

[unreliablenarrarator]

Well at least you're stuck with something you're used to now.

[masterandhound]

It has been part of my life since childhood.

[unreliablenarrarator]

[flat] Then there you go.

And I meant at least you don't have to get used to a new way of doing the digivolving thing, Norstien.

[masterandhound]

I suppose you're right. My apologies.

[masterandhound]

...?

[digimon_queen]

For someone that's supposed so smart, you overlook the obvious. Anyone ever told you that?

[masterandhound]

I have no idea what you're talking about, Makino-san.

[digimon_queen]

Digimon Card Game.

[masterandhound]

Yes, well.

That's unique to your world.

[digimon_queen]

Our lives aren't that much different besides Digimon being a highly marketable product in my world, when you look at the basics.

I'm just saying it's not that weird a concept.

[masterandhound]

Well, I suppose there is no limit to the extent Japanese commercialization can go.

[digimon_queen]

Given I live with one, yeah.

...Ruki, when you put it like that...
