Description
For a personal project to categorize the Digimon in evolution charts. All evolutions are straight lines, where the Digimon evolve through normal means, or through Spirit Digivolution.This one is Kiimon, who evolves into some terrifying lines of powerful demon lords!
Kiimon -> Yaamon -> Impmon / Dracmon
Impmon -> Boogeymon -> Phelesmon -> Barbamon
Impmon -> FlameWizardmon -> Baalmon -> Beelzemon
Dracmon -> Sangloupmon -> Matadormon -> GranDracmon
Dracmon -> (Spirit Evolution) Duskmon -> Velgemon -> Parallelmon
Made in Photoshop CS4.
All characters and images are copyright @ Bandai. Kiimon image created by me.

It's very interesting to see someone categorizing Digimon into evolution charts, especially since Digimon tend to change their own evolutionary lines after each game. If I may ask, what inspired you to take on such a large project (I can imagine it being large considering the number of Digimon out there) was it out of passion? or something else?

I viewed it as sort of an exercise in game design, treating it as though it were going to be consistent throughout the games ;3 Personally, I find it really irritating that Bandai doesn't have consistent mechanics and statistics (at least) for digimon in general, never mind that some mons' evolutions have become seemingly random and inconsistent, despite being initially very deliberate. In part it's because I really like Digimon, but also it's kinda just how my mind works-- I like categorizing and patternizing things like this.

I see, I hear you it has always frustrated me, though depending on the digivolution it can be quiteΒ humorous.
That's fair enough, Digimon has gone through quite a few changes but it's core has stayed mainly the same. It's fun to see there are didicated fans that will do these kinds of things, like only a few years ago had people were just able to finish their FAQs on the game digivolution mechanic for the Digimon World playstation game. Not too mention the playstation originals are like THE most expensive playstation games ever (from what I've seen). All in all i really like Digimon and i think Bandai can a learn a thing or two from your charts. Nice work.

Yeah the Digimon World games have pretty ridiculous asking prices on resale sites. =__= It's really lame and it makes me wish Bandai would invest in putting downloadable versions of the games up on like the Playstation network or Steam or something. Bahaww that's nice of you to say though. x3Β
I get the impression that there's a bit more care for the Digimon fanbase in Japan, but the western fanbase is apparently too sparse (and cranky) for them to think we're worth investing in localization (which I'm sure you're aware has never been good in the games lol). Can't say I really blame them, since so much of the Digimon community in the west is really hostile and closeminded to Digimon's new plots and whatnot ~___~
Thankfully, it seems our voices finally made a difference .

Yeah they reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaally need to get on that, I guarantee their sales will skyrocket (umm... I think that's how the expression goes, also i might be exaggerating a tad) I'm pretty lucky to have an Original copy of Digimon world and Digimon world 3 as well as digimon rumble, which I still play from time to time, never completed world 3 unfortunately since it keeps freezing at...umm...that place where you fight Hi-andromon. Since then i've managed to play some of the DS games on an emulator but that's where it stops.
Well i'm not really sure on that or not. Personally I don't think so since I have NEVER seen a digimon game on any platform on a store shelf throughout the years...well except for Rumble Arena (which was perhaps over 10-15 years ago, can't remember what age i got it). Plus the animes are aired on channels that aren't too popular hence don't get much publicity.
I wasn't aware that the Digimon community was hostile and close minded. But but the sounds of things it could be a nice revival, I think I saw a trailer of a new Digimon anime/game about a year ago, is this possibly the one it was about? I remember something with "code" in it's name.

TBH I'm not even sure it will sell that well overall... Let's be completely honest here, Digimon is somewhat of a forgotten franchise, with mostly just a cult following remaining to it. :0 I have no doubt that it WOULD sell, I just question whether it would sell well enough for Bandai to think it worthwhile. =3= Obviously I WANT them to, but I can see the reason why it might not happen. Until then, I'll keep playing my PS1 Digimon World and attempting to emulate the other games. x___X
Yeah I think that the fact that Digimon games are so rarely (if ever) seen on store shelves-- or even advertised at all-- is pretty telling of how Bandai handles localization of Digimon material (I couldn't even find a copy of DigiWorld Dawn in the stores, I had to order it online >__<). As for the fanbase... maybe 'hostile' was too strong a word, but I'd say 'close-minded' is pretty spot-on lol. After Adventure 02, the show hemorrhaged viewers with each subsequent new season because the fanbase at large didn't want something new, they just wanted more of what got them watching. Even those who stuck around for the excellence of Tamers kinda stopped watching around Frontier (myself included at the time, admittedly) with all the things that kept changing, until the core western fanbase was just the really diehard fans or those who were willing to take the new stories and such. This, again, is pretty much reflected in how the merchandise kind of started gradually disappearing from store shelves until the only people who really knew what it was are the ones who watched it to begin with, or who remained in the tiny erstwhile fanbase. I suppose it's one of the risks of wanting to tell too many different stories set in different worlds within the same show-- the Pokemon anime is certainly proof of how lucrative the same bland formula endlessly repeating is. x___X Just goes to show you that what's good isn't always what sells... and in this case, the people who both make and like the good one get the short end of the stick. =3=

you definitely have a point and I understand that it really wouldn't sky rocket, I pretty much spoke out of pure nostalgia and desire at that moment.
Indeed, I loved Tamers as well as the the first and second series of Digimon, though i never saw frontier though, where i'm from they showed up to Tamers and then poof there was nothing, simply no episodes of Digimon at all.Β
I honestly enjoyed both shows greatly, hooked on both really, unfortunate for digimon the acceptability was greater on the handhelds which gave Pokemon a greater edge.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh don't get me wrong, I definitely feel you with the longing nostalgia. =w=;;; I just try to keep it real is all...
Tamers is great. :3 And there's stuff to like about all the seasons if you give them a chance. In Frontier, for instance, even though I don't like the lack of partner Digimon, the elemental powers and the lore behind them is pretty cool to me, and the hybrid Digimon themselves often have some pretty cool designs. Frontier was the point where I (retroactively, mind) wasn't completely on board with the dub materials, because the dub names for these guys are kinda boring and generic whereas the Japanese ones are rooted in specific mythologies and that's really cool *3*
Savers... I haven't given a chance yet lol. I keep meaning to but just haven't found the time for it. A respected artist from dA I really like (I think she goes by Kernenheit on here IIRC) watched all the seasons and said Savers and even Xros Wars were good in their own right. So far as I've heard Young Hunters is the only universally hated season lol.
...I may have gotten a bit off-topic here. shrug

Dont know if mentioned, but I think Bagramon fits nicely after Baalmon too.
π: 0 β©: 1
True, that one also works! 
π: 0 β©: 0
Why didn't you use bom(b)mon and co for the dracmon line?
They are technically canon.
π: 0 β©: 1
Bombmon / Missimon are (IMO at least) primarily the prevos for Commandramon's line, and I decided to shuffle around some of the lines to be more fitting for their species and aesthetics, at least in my eyes. So where Friimon -> KoKabuterimon and Missimon -> Dracomon is what it originally was, I thought Missimon -> KoKabuterimon bcuz robotickish I guess, Friimon -> Phascomon (who would have otherwise have come from Kiimon/Yaamon if I was sticking with the original Accelerator lines) bcuz beasties, and Yaamon -> Dracmon bcuz demons.Β
I might consider going back to the original lines too, I just gotta think on it when I have time to work on this.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
No problem. Just keep the good work.
I just noticed you haven't used all the members of the nature and evil genomes of the digimon accel, thats all.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah TBH it's because I had no idea who to use for Commandramon's secondary evo line .3. That, and thigns like it, are one of the reasons I'm switching to the new format.
π: 0 β©: 1
Same question as before but this time I don't know where that Kiimon picture came from. o.o
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh haha I actually synthesized that one myself from the Bandai Chibomon art. Maybe I should upload it in case people want to use it, huh? .3.

Generally I'd prefer wizardmon for the impmon line as that is what he evolves into in Dusk but other than that it's pretty spot on.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah I can understand why you'd think that, especially if you played Dusk... Personally, I don't really like most of the evolutions from Dawn and Dusk; they display a pretty poor understanding of the evolutionary patterns and traditions that Digimon previously exhibited. :\ There are a lot of weird and disjointed lines (Tyrannomon evolves into Triceramon instead of Monochromon? WTF).
However I will admit that I can see the common thread with Impmon and Wizardmon given their purple color schemes and affinity for magic; actually I do think that's a pretty good evolution for them. The main reason I chose not to use Wizardmon on this one is because of his affiliation with Candlemon, who Wizardmon traditionally evolved from (and you can see the lineage with the weird Candlemon face on Wizardmon's pants).Β
Also, Boogeymon was actually created as the primary evolution of Impmon (presumably never used in the show bcuz he's pretty scary), and FlameWizardmon was the secondary evolution I chose to sort of reference the Wizardmon thing, actually. 'A more malicious version of Wizardmon seems to fit Impmon' was my line of thinking.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah I really didn't care for Beelzemon having to be a combo evolution myself. Quite frankly a lot of digimon evolution lines tend to get tangled up so I appreciate when you go to the effort of trying to smooth them out. On that note since digimon have multiple evolution routes it kinda works both ways with me concerning Flamewizardmon and Wizardmon. I fine with both, Wizardmon is just my personal preference.
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha thanks. xD And yeah, Wizardmon is a perfectly valid evo for Impmon too! o3o My stuff is kind of just to either give people a general idea if the don't have one, or else to teach the basic 'traditional' lines of some Digimon in some cases (for instance, a lot of people don't realize that Apemon is related to Tapirmon and Mammothmon, or Plesiomon to Scorpiomon etc.)

You are aware that Matadormon can digivolve into Piedmon as well, right?
π: 0 β©: 1
Sure, but Matadormon -> GranDracmon was his first/intended evolution before Digimon Dawn/Dusk existed.
(*whispers* between you and me, Dawn/Dusk's choice of evolines was preeeetty stuuuuupid)
(Evo mechanics were great tho)
π: 0 β©: 0
Where's complex? :0
π: 0 β©: 0
So how are you doing the Daemon line?
π: 0 β©: 1
Might change DemiDevimon's line to Devimon -> NeoDevimon -> Daemon. Otherwise, not sure just yet.Β
π: 0 β©: 0
speaking of demon lords
since lady devimon and devimon both have the opportunity to digivolve to lilithmon and daemon respectively. i was wondering
does that mean that devidramon would also have the possibility to do that?
i would be expecting leviamon in that case since both are beasts and both are a bit of the forgotten in their respective group ( all the devimons and the demon lords)
π: 0 β©: 1
That's an interesting though, and possibly. Dunno about Leviamon specifically, since it kind of seems like more of an aquatic beast than a demon (not that it isn't a demon, of course), but maybe something like Gulfmon would make sense.
Also, Devidramon -> LadyDevimon is an evolution that I've been considering too. If LadyDevimon is a fallen Angewomon and Angewomon evolves from a holy beast (Gatomon), then it stands to reason that LadyDevimon might do likewise from a demon beast-- BlackGatomon nowadays, but before it, Devidramon was a good candidate for the spot, and IMO still is. So there's that.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
i dunno, i haven't heard of devidramon turning into ladydevimon before so im a bit sceptic.
devidramon do need to end as a demon lord to be on the same standing as devimon and ladydevimon.
which one though, is still up in the air.
and since boogeymon is so extraordinarily fitting for barbamon, i went with the other demon lord with an unknown evolution line.
on a side note, im kinda expecting that the whole lucemon evolution line has a mode pattern "lucemon (mode something)" since he already has "lucemon chaos mode" and "lucemon shadow lord mode"
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't know how much it's really been an actual occurring evolution, but I've talked to a few other people who seem to think it's plausible as well. Devidramon and LadyDevimon actually have more in common than you might think: four red eyes, leather cowls and clothing over pale skin, the same demon mark on the left claw-hand... *shrug*
I don't think Devidramon necessarily needs to end up as a demon lord, though. It's powerful, but it seems like more of a lesser demon Digimon, like a servant of Devimon and whatnot. Since it's pretty feral, it makes sense to me that it could end up as Gulfmon.Β
Yeah, Lucemon's line is pretty straightforward. I'll probably release it with a bunch of other misc, really straightforward lines.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
well, im just saying that devidramon would feel more complete like that.
but thats just me.
as for lucemon, only his champion form is unknown.
though i personnaly created a story where he had another two ultimate forms.
a light and a dark mode with each focusing on attack and defense where lucemon could "slide evolution" between each depending on battle and there is the part when finally both his light and dark side unite to create Chaos! (and explaining his two sides)
but thats just a fanfic
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course. Everyone has his/her own viewpoints on how Digimon should evolve. ~3~ And until Bandai starts being more consistent/concrete about it, (in short: never) fans are free to speculate until the end of time, I suppose.
Lucemon is a weird case, since even his Rookie form has overwhelming power. I don't know if he even follows the same scheme as other Digimon in terms of levels, but yeah, technically that's true. Be that as it may, I may just have Lucemon's rookie form evolve straight into the Chaos mode.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
or maybe just put a big question mark at the champion spot.
anyway, to slightly change the subject.
since you are the only digimon connoisseur i can talk to, i need to ask your opinion on something.
ive recently discovered the digimon jintrix and collectors card sets and seen quite a few discussions about it so i need to ask.
what do you think of the recent turn to sexier stuff in digimon?
π: 0 β©: 1
Jintrix is fucking stupid and its art sucks. That about sum it up for ya? =w=
π: 0 β©: 1
...why, was there something else you wanted to discuss?
π: 0 β©: 1
mmm.... maybe
what i mean is that this new fanservice twist caused a big dichotomy in the digimon fandom.
on one side, ive seen a forum that is totally against the very idea of fanservice in digimon. mostly for the game aspect.
while i found another forum that glorify it. effectively, there are people that are new fans of the digimon franchise BECAUSE it has fanservice.
effectively, that means there are vastly different reasons to be a fan yet they are fans nonetheless.
π: 0 β©: 1
I would argue that people who are fans because of art such as that featured in Jintrix aren't fans, they're perverts.Β
What these people (in addition to the people who actually created Jintrix) oft fail to understand is that these are digital MONSTERS-- not girls or women cosplaying. Take Rosemon, for instance-- IMO, she has a brilliant design; the fact that she's represented as a beautiful young woman perfectly fits the motif of the rose, and in her original Bandai art, her legs are long and thin as if to represent the stem, etc. etc. She's a strong, empowering figure, in short-- but she's not a woman, she's a plant taking the form of a woman. Even older Digimon designs that portray intentionally beautiful characters like Angewomon have a stylized look to establish that they're not really human at all.Β
The issue I take with Jintrix (aside from the fact that I believe it to be purely inferior art to the original, very stylistic and creative Bandai designs-- ruling out the fanservice, I think most of the art is bland and uninteresting) is that it portrays many of these characters in an exceptionally demeaning, usually sexually submissive, position. As if to drive the point home of how unpleasantly Japanese these Jintrix artists are, they go out of their way to sexualize any remotely-human Digimon, even to the point of strange Digimon like Harpymon of all things. Eugh.Β
I had this debate on With the Will a while back. The short of it is that I don't mind fanservice and sexualization as long as it serves a purpose and isn't demeaning. (Again, Rosemon is an example of a sexualized character who isn't-- or wasn't, at least-- demeaning at her conception. Thank Savers for that one I guess. >__>) Lilithmon is another example of a character who makes sense being sexy-- she seduces and destroys people using her appearance-- but it's stupid to make her look cutesy or submissive, because it goes against her character. Do you get what I mean now?
π: 0 β©: 1
yes i do
i might not agree with the "it needs to serve a purpose" thing because i view it as marketing thing and not storyline reason but i understand your point
π: 0 β©: 1
It definitely IS a marketing thing. But it's a shallow, demeaning, and stupid marketing thing meant to expand the franchise's fanbase based solely on sex appeal. In my opinion, it's just a lazy way to add a lot of sweaty prepubescent perverts to the fanbase.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
one thing for sure is that porn sites are happy about it because it gives them more stuff without them having to work on it.
π: 0 β©: 1
The well-being and satisfaction of porn sites is about the farthest thing from my mind in terms of consequences of Jintrix that I'm concerned with.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
boogeymon and phelesmon... i didn't heard about those before,
but considering how their designs are, they are very appropriate for barbamon.
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed. Yeah, they're known other evolutions of Impmon; however, I think I'm gonna end that line with Beelzemon instead. It seems more appropriate to have all of Impmon's known evolutions in one line, don't you think?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Is Parallelmon something like fusion form or ancient digimon?
π: 0 β©: 1
He isn't. But Duskmon's dark line doesn't have an Ancient form so I gave it something else. Parallelmon was some weird thing featured in one of the mangas; there was another thing called Metamormon that was similar which I was going to use as the Fusion form for the Metal hybrids.Β
