Hey everyone! Apologies for having to break the Run into 2 Parts. That was the only way I could get it online as soon as I could 😓. I've kept the run as honest as possible, so there will probably be plenty of inefficient gameplay (I am no expert when it comes to this game 😅). But I do hope you enjoy the video. I tried my best! Part 2 will be up this Sunday! :D Thank you for your support and have a great day!
Relax, bro. Btw, isn't Bonus Try the best way to train the Digimon? 🤔 It's been some time but i have the feeling that it can grant more points if used correctly. Maybe it can speed up some things for you. ✌
@@Frg31 you're thinking of the later games. in the og digimon world, you have to deal with a slot machine that half the time is _literally rigged_ to not give you any result but 50% stat gain. there _is_ a result that'll give you x10 the normal stats ... but the slots are also rigged to make it straight-up impossible to get on 90% of tries, so it doesn't actually result in any better stats unless you're lucky enough to get it more than once every ten pulls in theory, you could always aim for the symbol matching the training area for the x4 stat gains and that'll gain you more stats than you're losing from the guaranteed halved stat gains on every other try ... but realistically, your training sessions aren't long enough to normalize the effects of rng, so the theoretical x2.25 stat gains you'd get over a 100 bonus tries are gonna look more like getting 4 forced fails and a single success only worth twice the value of normal training
About learning new techniques in this game: the statement made about the Digimon you're fighting does not actually matter -- it's your Digimon's specialty that determines the chances of it learning a new move or not. Take using Greymon or Airdramon to learn megalo spark: the technique is air specialty, and although both the Digimon I named are able to learn and use it, air is Airdramon's dominant specialty -- in other words, it's the specialty that most of his techniques are -- which gives him a higher chance to learn the move; Greymon, on the other hand, has a considerably lower chance to learn the move, since his dominant specialty is fire, not air. With that in mind, every Digimon has a certain percentage to learn each of their moves, although these percentages do appear to be reduced the higher the base damage output the move has, and in certain cases (such as learning buster dive with MetalGreymon, for example) your Digimon is unable to learn the move AT ALL -- though they can still use it if it was acquired before digivolving to that form. As for brains training, it's the same way, except that the chances to get a certain move are lower than they would be to learn the same technique by fighting other Digimon that can use it. In either case, though, the percentages for learning each move are consistent depending on what specialty your Digimon's main/dominant one is -- in other words, any 2 Digimon whose dominant specialty is ice will have the same chances to learn the move giga freeze as each other. But there is no such thing as a certain specialty having an easier or harder time learning new moves, at least as far as rng is concerned. On one last side note: it appears that if you're trying to use brains training to learn new moves, they are apparently unlocked in a certain order, meaning thst the only rng is rather your Digimon will actually learn the next move in that specialty's list once they hit the designated brains stat benchmark or not. Hope this helps!
I like reading comments like these, I've seen a few speedruns of this game and glitchless is actually pretty fast normal percent and theres some different routes lol
Brains training is the most viable way to learn Trash moves, as you really wouldn't want to grind in Factory Town with a Numemon, Sukamon, or Nanimon, and there are usually better things to do with an Etemon.
28:20 that's because you had "your call" instead of "attack". so the ai is much more passive. i think its always a good idea to raise int to 100. since you can learn stuff after hitting 150, you can even go for 150 with each new numemon for that rng chance.
I wish child me had known that you can avoid the Greymon fight by not talking to Jijimon. I would hit that wall so hard and then assume you were locked in to the fight and would restart my save over and over trying to get past him. Love seeing classic Digimon World videos, can’t wait for Part 2!
14:08 had this video on in the background while gaming and this got my attention real quick. one of the most wholesome things I have ever heard. Pronouncing English words is difficult enough for half of the native English speakers let alone Digimon names in English. Never watched a Digimon world 1 video but you got me hooked dude.
Second numemon died by education who would have known. Still watching and honestly i am so invested!! Also not sure how you didnt rage, is just so slow... Love it!
Ahh that was the same thought I was having. Its a great video though, and its a fun run. But getting his brain up enough to use at least attack will make his numemon a bit more consistent in battle (Well as far as I know, im no digimon expert).
@@TanukiTracks Yea its a battle command you unlock by increasing your brains to 100, if you can get it to 500 you can be more specific and tell your digimon to use specific attacks in battle.
I like the idea that mclean the 2nd spends 13-15 years just watching a chalckboard and then dies. Hes like an obsessed professor in an eldritch horror novel.
30:30 the solution to Amida forest is to always take the first path you can on every opportunity, like that asian game Amidakuji, or ghost ladder. My god Amida...kuji forest, i feel enlightened.
@@CrystalPapa yeah, you have to guess, which path leads to the O. Centarumon will only shoot at you, if you "cheat" by trying to go straight, and off your chosen path. reaching an X sends you back to the start without penalty IIRC.
Ah thats what Amida means :). I never knew the name of the game, i just always called it the "game with the lines, Xs and Os". I also believe there is a mario party game where you have to drop a treasure chest down a network of 4 pipes, to decide which player gets it, thats based on it.
So... I got the Digimon knowledge I needed 20 years ago by clicking on this video today.. I had a save with a dying Tyrannomon in a place somewhere far from town, which then died some times after waking up. Greymon killed my baby digimon to the point the baby gave birth to another baby, which then got killed again by Greymon. The baby never even had a chance to train. I loaded my game with Tyrannomon and desperately tried to get to Jijimon's house to fight Greymon with him, but Tyrannomon always died on the way. I felt like I was forced to restart a new playthrough, which then led me to stop entirely because I lost a lot of progress and didn't enjoy the new playthrough. Today I learned that Greymon won't come if I never talk to Jijimon (guess I always talked to him in panic and confusion)
31:20 When Mclean farted on the tree trunk, I could see the determination in his eyes. He was going to go all out against Meramon no matter what. Rest easy, space cowboy… 🫡
why does that genuinely feel bad im almost positive sleeping while hungry doesnt result in a care mistake, but i assume you just mean morally then i get that even if it is numemon lol Also, you can catch seadramon with old rod and meat, i think that would be a good first goal to shoot for. Lastly, i definitely respect the limited items and no reloading saves but this is already so ridiculously difficult those of us who have played this game wouldnt have blamed you at all.
Hey, Cain! Yeah, I felt bad from an emotional perspective, rather than a gameplay one 😅. For the item spam restriction, I felt like it would be an easy way to win most fight, if I didn't restrict myself 😅. I also didn't think it would be an enjoyable viewing experience, watching me spam my 80th HP recovery item against Greymon 😂.
Even better, theres a bug with it where if you have a specific version of Tanemon(i believe its defense or offense as highest stats), they won't be able to evolve and you can max the upgrade in one go Child Torture best
In Vanilla Digimon World, in addition to what the others have already said, there's a bug regarding Brains and MP training, where if you train Brains ten times, it counts the baby upgrade for both Brains and MP. Conversely, if you try to Baby upgrade MP by itself, it will never unlock. Digimon World is truly spaghetti code. That's why, when I play it now, I play it patched with a mod to fix all the myriad broken bugs, and it's so fun.
@@streetguru9350 Digimon Vice Version, a mod that fixes a bunch of game breaking glitches, bugs, and such. It fixes the infamous Jukebox Freeze, among hundreds of other things. It also adds cut Digimon as extra Digivolutions, and a couple extra zones. There's also extra optional patches that can adjust difficulty however you like.
Look... As a player of FFXIV, I must say I'm happy to have found Erenville's secret TH-cam channel where he talks about his hidden passion for Digimon.
While I have played a bunch of FF game, I haven't played the one you mentioned... so I don't get the reference 😅. But I am glad you're enjoying the content! :D
Digimon is honestly a slept on series. I am guilty of that, as well. As a kid (or rather, teenager), I never really got the hang of the game, because it was just "not Pokémon". Shocker, right? But I own Next Order on PS4, and that game is really good!
I used to play this game as a child for hours and hours. So seeing this game again and your channel on my algorithm really made my day, especially with the obscure runs and facts that you are doing. Please keep doing more.
20:53 - That music selection is awesome. It fits the scene so well, especially when remembering how that felt for the first time as a kid. Your companion dies and you are left completely alone with that. I'm not expecting to get that feeling again in a game in the future. Digimon World 1 will always have a very special place in my heart even though I've played through it and never managed to an ultra level besides of that suit one. Guess it was Monzaemon.
I really love videos like this, glad to see I'm not the only one obsessed with Digimon World. Your sense of humor is fantastic, you provide lots of useful info, and they are pretty entertaining. I wish I had learned of your channel sooner, long live the legacy of McLean and Dookie!
This is amazing and I take my hat off to you for your patience! I can't wait for part 2. I can't tell you how much this made me smile. I'm going through a rough time, and this is my favourite game of all time, it really brightened my day. I can't wait for part 2! Thanks man!
its funny, i still think digimon world 1 is one of the most interesting games ever made. its very unique, and in many ways its basically a proto-rogue-lite, since you have limited time with your digimon, BUT, you are always progressing the story foward, so even when you end up with a wasted digimon, who isnt able to do anything to help you get better, outside of some very minor effects, you are almost never feel like you are going backwards. as even a weak digimon can still be used to grind items. and money for a better "run" later. yeah, it got a sequel, but i still think this version is probably one of the best games in the franchise. i just wish we got a "remaster" version. all they needed to add was more digimon, and make variants like black agumon or black patamon, into basically the shiny version with 1 in 10 chance or something similar.
minute 23:43 is the answer for the question "Can You Beat Digimon World 1 With Only Numemon?"... tech "Poop Spd Toss" via Brain train for easier numemon... that tech has 'poison' effect and the second tech that can get via braintrain.. no matter how awful the stat, HP reduce from the poison effect is still the same cause it depend of the enemy's HP...
truly a battle of attrition. for both the digimon and the player. btw if you didn't know, past great canyon is freezeland which is a great moneymaker land. there you can trade digimushroom for med recovery, which is pretty big money. also i didn't see old rod? you shouldve found it in trash mountain. once you got rod, fishing for black trout would be a nice boost as it also give stat when you fed em (it's small and decrease weight, but it should be fine as you plan using numemon only)
As a kid i have so much fun with this game on the very 1st PlayStation... Loved the game... have spend hours on end playing the game. Later when i was 24 (10 years ago) i had my laptop and began searching for an old PlayStation 1 emulator to play games that i used to know to play back from my childhood i did stumble upon this very first Digimon World game that i had as a kid as well... I started playing had all the possible Digimon which you can have and encounter throughout the game..... (never i could have done back when i was a kid, had some troubles getting my 1st Ultimate Digimon, which was a MegaSeadramon)
I love the video and can't wait for the next one, but I didn't expect to hear such great music choices including from courage the cowardly dog at the end. Huge bonus.
The MClean line truly embodies the "Plant a tree in wose shade you will never rest" sentiment. The know each one cannot truly achieve greatness, so each does a little bit to make it easier on the next generation. Until the Ultimate MClean cluld come about
I wouldn't call any Digimon a loser. In hacker's memory I was breezing in online with a team of 3 Plat numemons. 1 specialist on attacking one on dot and one on status ailments I had some META Digimon as well but the 3 pkat numenons were destroying everything. In World 1 I managed to build a very strong sukamon interrupting every opponent move and poisoning every time with poop toss. And the high stun of odor spray. Content in this channel is pretty awesome! I would love to see countless Digimon games runs. Even the new ones.
@kumori9940 all their stats are champion level in that game. Except defense which is really high. But their long survivability with a bit of strategy can turn them into a very viable force. At first I had max them because of the exp bonus they provide in the team. But then I thought let's make them for pvp just for the lolz. And I was surprised how annoying they were once it was my turn to play
if there's one thing i learned playing this game, it's to NOT underestimate that Kunemon, the thing will always get the tiniest arena ever because of camera position and it attacks FAST! from my experience, Drimogemon is usually easier than this guy even tho his stats are better
Let's go! I totally agree, It's a good game but sadly not for everyone, the fact of you need time for make a good Digimon (or become Numemon 😆) and after few hours he die and start over again it's not the best thing for the most people, sure was annoying even for me at first, but after I understand how the system work and how you should training the Digimon + some recruitments in the City even if your Digimon die he became more easily to achieve Ultimate level Digimon and more enjoyable to try some new types of Digimon, like the Bugs line (this game and Digimon Master it's the reason I have a soft spot for Kunemon) For me, the game is not a masterpiece, but I certainly would not call it a bad game either. You just have to take some time to understand how it works and to enjoy this little raw diamond.
When I was a kid, Numemon was the ONLY Champion Digimon I could ever get. Not even Sukamon - just Numemon. I had no idea how to play this thing, and neither did any of my friends, so it pretty much went that way for all of us. Despite putting a decent amount of time in, none of us ever got very far in or made any real progress., and we all kind of look back on the game as impenetrable and not worth the time we gave it. This is the risk you take when you make your game's systems deliberately obtuse.
@@troyschram7211 same, even as a 8 year old i understood fulfilling basic needs of the monsters, always go to toilet, let it sleep, always feed. I didnt even know numemon was a thing till years later lol.
Guys, it's okay, you don't have to make things up to look cool. Nobody's judging you, especially not over something that happened when you were just a little kid.
I kinda wanna comment stuff for the game but, the only thig I'll say is that Amida Forest is based on a Japanese "thing" called Amidakuji! Wikipedia: ""Ghost leg" is a method of lottery designed to create random pairings between two sets of any number of things, as long as the number of elements in each set is the same. This is often used to distribute things among people, where the number of things distributed is the same as the number of people". Once you understand amidakuji, you can solve the puzzle easily as well! Take care and this video is really enjoyable!!! When I was a kid I always got Numemon and I trained the brain stat as well, I got a pretty OP attack once (a kind of improved party time).
This just randomly showed up on my timeline and god damn the nostalgia hit from seeing digimon world 1 was insane. I remember being a kid and always getting Numemons and never getting anywhere in the game, not really knowing English or knowing how to look up guides 😂 it was the age of literal trial and error
A few tips for a "pure" challenge run where you don't fight any battles as anything other than Numemon: 1. It's actually possible to avoid the Agumon at the start if you manage to path well enough. Not easy by any means, but possible, so you can try it for a "pure" challenge run. 2. Coelamon can be gotten by day 2 of the game if you know how (he appears in the evening, so go meet him late on day 1, sleep in the Tropical Jungle, and then go right back to recruit him when you wake up). He (and Betamon too, who can also be recruited on the same day basically) will open the initial shop, which sells meat at an extremely cheap 50 bits. This will basically make food a complete non-issue starting out, thus removing the need to try to recruit Palmon early (a good thing too, since I remember having a harder time fighting her with a newly digivolved Numemon than with the rookie starter). Hope these help.
This video takes me so back in time! Like when I've first played this game and didn't knew anything about it and let my digimon sh*t itself and become a numemon. I still have PTSD about that!
Man, Digimon World's particular flavour of jank gives it such a particular charm that I can't help but love it more than the polish of something like Next Order.
Man i'm really enjoying your videos, you really made me enjoy the game again and I started another save with vice04's patches, is there any chance we may see you play a modded save eventually?
A tip for if you do any similar challenges in the future: many random ground spawns are determined when entering a screen, not by day. You seem to have figured this out, but I'd like to note that you can often find mushrooms on the first two screens of native forest right after leaving the city (one of the places on the first screen is near the bottom-right, so don't forget to look there). If you go back and forth checking these two screens, you can stockpile mushrooms - it's not much of a trick because they're basically equivalent to tiny meat, but you can farm them this way to avoid having to go hungry too often in the earlygame, or to hold off on Palmon a bit longer while getting the right partner.
We've beat this game and actually got almost all Digimon into the city, back in the early 2000's, no internet and with a pirated scratchy CD. The training grounds were not working, the game just freezes. So without being able to train your Digimon and without any guides, you can only imagine how hard this is. It took us years just to discover the Mojyamon exploit which helped a lot.
Well I did a "Spooky" Digimon run for Halloween, which was pretty fun! There's also a new "run" which went online today, but it's not a traditional playthrough 😅.
My guy you actually did it! A journey through the roughest caring simulator with the worst monster ingame! But maaaaan its good to know even Numemon... Ahem McClean can learn other uh... Crappy moves for his moveset! Here I thought you were gonna go ahead and kick everyone to death with his starting move! Though I am curious if you will take down Greymon and Birdramon! If its a struggle with them... I cannot imagine McClean defeating Machinedramon! Maybe with items... But with none? YOU MUST DO IT MAN!!!! Waiting for part 2! Also... Nanimon and Sukamon challenge next please? With extra suffering wahahahaha!
I think that laser is one of the strongest single target attacks in the game. Birdramon is one of the strongest enemies in the game if I recall correctly.
Oh hey! I was one of the people who told you about how to pronounce Coelamon! :D Don't worry about getting it wrong, it took me a while to figure out how it was pronounced too. It took me until I figured out what it was based on to pronounce it differently. :3
@@CrystalPapa oh yeah, im here for the journey my guy . I guessed 8 numemon in the post you put the other day, after watching this i think i may have underestimated how crappy of a digimon he is 🥁 If you can manage to do a die hard style montage with John McClean here that would just be the bees knees.
Hey everyone!
Apologies for having to break the Run into 2 Parts. That was the only way I could get it online as soon as I could 😓.

Digimon is honestly a slept on series. I am guilty of that, as well. As a kid (or rather, teenager), I never really got the hang of the game, because it was just "not Pokémon". Shocker, right?
But I own Next Order on PS4, and that game is really good!
looks like christmas came early this year
Awesome challenge run video! Really appreciate all the effort that had to go into this!
Thank you, friend! I am glad you liked the video! :D
I used to play this game as a child for hours and hours. So seeing this game again and your channel on my algorithm really made my day, especially with the obscure runs and facts that you are doing. Please keep doing more.
20:53 - That music selection is awesome. It fits the scene so well, especially when remembering how that felt for the first time as a kid. Your companion dies and you are left completely alone with that. I'm not expecting to get that feeling again in a game in the future.
Digimon World 1 will always have a very special place in my heart even though I've played through it and never managed to an ultra level besides of that suit one. Guess it was Monzaemon.
I walked in my mum and her BF having sex because I was scared of what my digimon turned into
I really love videos like this, glad to see I'm not the only one obsessed with Digimon World. Your sense of humor is fantastic, you provide lots of useful info, and they are pretty entertaining. I wish I had learned of your channel sooner, long live the legacy of McLean and Dookie!
Thank your for all your kind words, Blueman! 😇
3 minutes in: "Can you beat Digimon World with only Numemon?"
Me: "Yea!"
This is amazing and I take my hat off to you for your patience! I can't wait for part 2.
I can't tell you how much this made me smile. I'm going through a rough time, and this is my favourite game of all time, it really brightened my day. I can't wait for part 2! Thanks man!
Thank you for your kind words, friend!
I really hope the rough times go away for you, and get replaced by a lot of good times!
Stay strong!
@@CrystalPapa Thank you so much!
This game speaks to my childhood and your videos are a really cool window to the past, plus the challenge is very interesting, love your work
Thank you for your kind words, Megasus! They're greatly appreciated! :D
its funny, i still think digimon world 1 is one of the most interesting games ever made. its very unique, and in many ways its basically a proto-rogue-lite, since you have limited time with your digimon, BUT, you are always progressing the story foward, so even when you end up with a wasted digimon, who isnt able to do anything to help you get better, outside of some very minor effects, you are almost never feel like you are going backwards. as even a weak digimon can still be used to grind items. and money for a better "run" later.
yeah, it got a sequel, but i still think this version is probably one of the best games in the franchise. i just wish we got a "remaster" version. all they needed to add was more digimon, and make variants like black agumon or black patamon, into basically the shiny version with 1 in 10 chance or something similar.
Mclean III succumbing to his age immediately after he finally bested Meramon was peak fiction.
Waiting for Digimon 3 video! Thanks for uploading those digimon 1 and 2 video series! Love it
Yes. digimon world 1 content
Excellent video! Great editing and commentary!
Thank you for your kind words, Foxywaterable!
They're much appreciated! ☺️
Amazing video, man.
Thank you, Robsonfujiii! :D
I am glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️
minute 23:43 is the answer for the question "Can You Beat Digimon World 1 With Only Numemon?"...
tech "Poop Spd Toss" via Brain train for easier numemon...
that tech has 'poison' effect and the second tech that can get via braintrain..
no matter how awful the stat, HP reduce from the poison effect is still the same cause it depend of the enemy's HP...
truly a battle of attrition. for both the digimon and the player.
btw if you didn't know, past great canyon is freezeland which is a great moneymaker land. there you can trade digimushroom for med recovery, which is pretty big money. also i didn't see old rod? you shouldve found it in trash mountain. once you got rod, fishing for black trout would be a nice boost as it also give stat when you fed em (it's small and decrease weight, but it should be fine as you plan using numemon only)
I was laughing all the time from your commentaries had a great time I am subscribing rn
Thank you for your kind words and support, Jona!
I am glad you enjoyed the commentary! :D
Oh boy, can't wait for part 2!
But I'm betting on most end game fights coming down to MP stalling
I am glad you enjoyed part 1, friend!
Who knows, there might be a switch in tactics later in the run 🌚.
As a kid i have so much fun with this game on the very 1st PlayStation...
Loved the game... have spend hours on end playing the game.
Later when i was 24 (10 years ago) i had my laptop and began searching for an old PlayStation 1 emulator to play games that i used to know to play back from my childhood i did stumble upon this very first Digimon World game that i had as a kid as well...
I started playing had all the possible Digimon which you can have and encounter throughout the game..... (never i could have done back when i was a kid, had some troubles getting my 1st Ultimate Digimon, which was a MegaSeadramon)
I love the video and can't wait for the next one, but I didn't expect to hear such great music choices including from courage the cowardly dog at the end. Huge bonus.
I am glad you enjoyed the video, Jake!
Hopefully you'll like part 2, as well! :D
The MClean line truly embodies the "Plant a tree in wose shade you will never rest" sentiment. The know each one cannot truly achieve greatness, so each does a little bit to make it easier on the next generation.
Until the Ultimate MClean cluld come about
@@hawkticus_history_corner That's very true, hawkticus!
Ultimate McLean would not have existed without the efforts of those who came before! 😊
I wouldn't call any Digimon a loser. In hacker's memory I was breezing in online with a team of 3 Plat numemons. 1 specialist on attacking one on dot and one on status ailments I had some META Digimon as well but the 3 pkat numenons were destroying everything. In World 1 I managed to build a very strong sukamon interrupting every opponent move and poisoning every time with poop toss. And the high stun of odor spray.
Content in this channel is pretty awesome! I would love to see countless Digimon games runs. Even the new ones.
Plat numemon have a better stat and higher tier.
Mega tier if not wrong.....
So it ways better than original nunemon
@kumori9940 all their stats are champion level in that game. Except defense which is really high. But their long survivability with a bit of strategy can turn them into a very viable force. At first I had max them because of the exp bonus they provide in the team. But then I thought let's make them for pvp just for the lolz. And I was surprised how annoying they were once it was my turn to play
Genuinely the most I've been invested in a digimon run since I watched a blind playthrough on twitch. Excellent video dude. Long live mclean
if there's one thing i learned playing this game, it's to NOT underestimate that Kunemon, the thing will always get the tiniest arena ever because of camera position and it attacks FAST! from my experience, Drimogemon is usually easier than this guy even tho his stats are better
Let's go!
I totally agree, It's a good game but sadly not for everyone, the fact of you need time for make a good Digimon (or become Numemon 😆) and after few hours he die and start over again it's not the best thing for the most people, sure was annoying even for me at first, but after I understand how the system work and how you should training the Digimon + some recruitments in the City even if your Digimon die he became more easily to achieve Ultimate level Digimon and more enjoyable to try some new types of Digimon, like the Bugs line (this game and Digimon Master it's the reason I have a soft spot for Kunemon)
For me, the game is not a masterpiece, but I certainly would not call it a bad game either. You just have to take some time to understand how it works and to enjoy this little raw diamond.
Loving this! I never even played these games 😂 you’re such a great story teller
Passing the Monochromon shop on the third attempt is somehow more impressive than beating the game with Numemon 😆
Recently found your channel, loving it so far. DW1 needs more love in the world
Love your intro and I totally agree! Great video. 🤓
This is a challenge for few! looking forward to the next episode.
When I was a kid, Numemon was the ONLY Champion Digimon I could ever get. Not even Sukamon - just Numemon.
I had no idea how to play this thing, and neither did any of my friends, so it pretty much went that way for all of us.
Despite putting a decent amount of time in, none of us ever got very far in or made any real progress., and we all kind of look back on the game as impenetrable and not worth the time we gave it.
This is the risk you take when you make your game's systems deliberately obtuse.
To be honest you have to be pretty smooth brained and adverse to reading to not get far. I played this with a 7 yearold and we crushed it
@@troyschram7211 same, even as a 8 year old i understood fulfilling basic needs of the monsters, always go to toilet, let it sleep, always feed. I didnt even know numemon was a thing till years later lol.
Guys, it's okay, you don't have to make things up to look cool. Nobody's judging you, especially not over something that happened when you were just a little kid.
Really entertaining run to watch. Cant wait for part 2!
I love this game! Thank you for the cool vid, looking forward to part 2
This is just the nostalgia playthrough I need. Thank you!
Awesome video! Keep up the Digimon content.
Thank you, Chriss! :D
Omg I only recently found your channel and was just hoping you meant it when you said you’d do this challenge 😂 Awesome work!
Great to have you here, friend!
I am glad that you're enjoying the content! 😊
Ironically, being rendered Flat might be better than having to use Cooties Kick, since it at least gives you range.
I kinda wanna comment stuff for the game but, the only thig I'll say is that Amida Forest is based on a Japanese "thing" called Amidakuji! Wikipedia: ""Ghost leg" is a method of lottery designed to create random pairings between two sets of any number of things, as long as the number of elements in each set is the same. This is often used to distribute things among people, where the number of things distributed is the same as the number of people". Once you understand amidakuji, you can solve the puzzle easily as well! Take care and this video is really enjoyable!!! When I was a kid I always got Numemon and I trained the brain stat as well, I got a pretty OP attack once (a kind of improved party time).
I didn't know about the Amidakuji thing! Thank you for letting me know, Naxafa! :D
@@CrystalPapa My pleasure! As you said, it's better to play this game without knowing so much about it! Keep it natural!:)
Challenge runs for new order? If not a problem with jp dub
As a kid I was just clueless and never came far in this game.
This just randomly showed up on my timeline and god damn the nostalgia hit from seeing digimon world 1 was insane. I remember being a kid and always getting Numemons and never getting anywhere in the game, not really knowing English or knowing how to look up guides 😂 it was the age of literal trial and error
I don't even playa digimon games, but i addicted to the chanel keep it up
I am glad you're enjoying the content, friend! 😇
i wasnt expecting wild arms to be a major part of the soundtack. good taste
This was good stuff. I learned a lot from it for gaming production. Thanks for your help.
I did it with the added twist of banning training and items in battle, it was an obnoxious grind but I had fun doing it regardless. Congratz!
A digimon world channel in 2024 ? Instant sub !
that 4 seconds of silent hill audio was enough to have me hooked
Great video man! Thanks for sharing.
Alright this was fun! Excited for the next part!
love this channel's digimon world videos
glad youre growing!
Thank you, Sosa! 😇
A few tips for a "pure" challenge run where you don't fight any battles as anything other than Numemon:
1. It's actually possible to avoid the Agumon at the start if you manage to path well enough. Not easy by any means, but possible, so you can try it for a "pure" challenge run.
2. Coelamon can be gotten by day 2 of the game if you know how (he appears in the evening, so go meet him late on day 1, sleep in the Tropical Jungle, and then go right back to recruit him when you wake up). He (and Betamon too, who can also be recruited on the same day basically) will open the initial shop, which sells meat at an extremely cheap 50 bits. This will basically make food a complete non-issue starting out, thus removing the need to try to recruit Palmon early (a good thing too, since I remember having a harder time fighting her with a newly digivolved Numemon than with the rookie starter).
Hope these help.
This video takes me so back in time! Like when I've first played this game and didn't knew anything about it and let my digimon sh*t itself and become a numemon. I still have PTSD about that!
Can you do Sukamon next? Might be a long gameplay. Also, 33:26, nice Courage The Cowardly dog OST cameo
Man, Digimon World's particular flavour of jank gives it such a particular charm that I can't help but love it more than the polish of something like Next Order.
This Numemon is giving me Subaru vibes. 😂
Hype for part 2.
This was absolute cinema! Pumped for part 2 😁
I remember being so excited as a kid when my Egg finally turned into a Patamon... and then it evolved into a Numemon
Cool, when you talked about it last video I was really hipe to see it
Keep going great content!
Thank you for your kind words, ZeroZeru! :D
Thanks for the vid! You work fast!
Man i'm really enjoying your videos, you really made me enjoy the game again and I started another save with vice04's patches, is there any chance we may see you play a modded save eventually?
I am glad you're enjoying the videos, Akira!
I haven't really thought about Modded game runs, but I'll look into them when I get the chance!
A tip for if you do any similar challenges in the future: many random ground spawns are determined when entering a screen, not by day. You seem to have figured this out, but I'd like to note that you can often find mushrooms on the first two screens of native forest right after leaving the city (one of the places on the first screen is near the bottom-right, so don't forget to look there). If you go back and forth checking these two screens, you can stockpile mushrooms - it's not much of a trick because they're basically equivalent to tiny meat, but you can farm them this way to avoid having to go hungry too often in the earlygame, or to hold off on Palmon a bit longer while getting the right partner.
I miss this game, I'd like to try it out again... any idea how?
We've beat this game and actually got almost all Digimon into the city, back in the early 2000's, no internet and with a pirated scratchy CD. The training grounds were not working, the game just freezes. So without being able to train your Digimon and without any guides, you can only imagine how hard this is. It took us years just to discover the Mojyamon exploit which helped a lot.
This is exactly what I expected to see lol
I really enjoyed this Numemon only run, it was fun to watch 😆 Will you do another "only" run like this again in the future?
Well I did a "Spooky" Digimon run for Halloween, which was pretty fun! There's also a new "run" which went online today, but it's not a traditional playthrough 😅.
Damn, I never thought I could get so invested in a Numemon run 😂
Amazing video! MORE!
Thank you, stormjab! More coming soon! :D
Awesome video man!
My guy you actually did it!
A journey through the roughest caring simulator with the worst monster ingame!
But maaaaan its good to know even Numemon... Ahem McClean can learn other uh... Crappy moves for his moveset! Here I thought you were gonna go ahead and kick everyone to death with his starting move!
Though I am curious if you will take down Greymon and Birdramon! If its a struggle with them... I cannot imagine McClean defeating Machinedramon! Maybe with items... But with none? YOU MUST DO IT MAN!!!!
Waiting for part 2!
Also... Nanimon and Sukamon challenge next please? With extra suffering wahahahaha!
I think that laser is one of the strongest single target attacks in the game. Birdramon is one of the strongest enemies in the game if I recall correctly.
No Thunder Justice is the single strongest attack due to a bug that all air techs do bonus damage on all other types
Oh hey! I was one of the people who told you about how to pronounce Coelamon! :D Don't worry about getting it wrong, it took me a while to figure out how it was pronounced too. It took me until I figured out what it was based on to pronounce it differently. :3
Love the way you narrated the part with the drimogemon battle 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing this vids with us
You are most welcome, friend! 😊
I’m very pleased this game is slowly coming back this was my childhood still have my copy
I stopped everything i was doing as soon as i saw this on my feed, been waiting for this one.
I do hope you enjoyed the video, and that it was at least kinda worth the wait 😅.
@@CrystalPapa oh yeah, im here for the journey my guy . I guessed 8 numemon in the post you put the other day, after watching this i think i may have underestimated how crappy of a digimon he is 🥁
If you can manage to do a die hard style montage with John McClean here that would just be the bees knees.
