guide should be very useful. So, find many answers as you can. Especially when
reading the FAQ section. (Use Ctrl+F to get there)

Let's review some stuff to refresh your memory. In EXE 6, new features have
been added. It's best to read them if you don't know them.

| Folder Editing Rules |
------------------------

When, building a folder, you must have 30 chips. However, you can only put a
certain number of chips of the same name, depending on the data size value, in
a folder at one time:

---------------------------
| Data Size  |  Max Chips |
---------------------------
0-19 MB            5
20-29 MB           4
30-39 MB           3
40-49 MB           2
50-99 MB           1

Like always, you can only put up to five megachips and one gigachip in each
folder.

-----------------
| Regular Chips |
-----------------

Like the previous EXE games, regular chips always appear in the chip select on
the custom screen. They can be very useful for a strategy. In the folder, move
the cursor over the chip you want to designate as a regular chip and press
Select. If a green border appears around the chip, that means it has been
designated as a regular chip. Note that not every chip can be designated.

If the chip's data size is larger than the amount of remaining regular memory,
you won't be able to designate the chip as a regular chip. You can increase the
amount of regular memory by gathering Regular UP (RegUP) from BMDs.

-------------
| Tag Chips |
-------------

This is new in EXE 6. Tagging chips lets you select two chips to always appear
in your chip select on the custom screen. What that basically means is when
one of the chips you tagged appears on the custom screen, the next tag chip
will always appear next to it. Very useful for combos.

To tag chips, highlight a chip and press Select to designate it as a tag chip,
then select the second chip and press Select again. The combined memory of
the two chips cannot exceed 60MB.

----------------------------
| Battle Chip/Area Removal |
----------------------------

Knowing Crapcom, er Capcom, they like to screw up the EXE games. Certain battle
chips and internet areas have been removed from the US version. Lame Capcom...

~ Removed battle chips: ~
-------------------------
- Django1, 2, 3 D: Django rides his motorcycle across the row, then slices the
                   enemy on that row.
- Hakushaku, EX, SP H: "The Count" summons bloody lances and a rain of blood.
- GunDelSolEX G: If you used this chip in EXE 4 and 5, you're quite familar
                 with this...
- Otenko O: Same as above.
- DoubleBeast W: Gregar and Falzar Beast Out attack together. Why the hell did
                 they remove this chip??? I'd say it'd belong in the same
                 category as the tribute PAs.
- Gregar and Falzar X: The actual Cybeast attacks. Giga-class chip. Blame CoA
                       for its removal.

Digimon World DS (NDS)

I N T R O D U C T I O N

Digimon Story (known as Digimon Story in most parts, Digimon World DS in the
US) is a really good adventure. However, it's also a difficult one, and with so
much to customise, it can be difficult to decide how to tackle the next
objective. That's where this guide helps.

Hopefully, this guide will be of use for helping players get through the game,
whether they're playing it now or when the game is released in Europe later in
2007.

P L A Y E R ' S   G U I D E

\\\-----------------///
 2.1: DIGIVOLUTION
///-----------------\\\

Digivolution is, simply put, the process of one Digimon becoming another
Digimon of a higher level. In Digimon Story, Digivolution is achieved by
meeting certain requirements. All Digivolutions have a requirement that the
Digimon must be at or above a certain Level to Digivolve, and many require the
Digimon to have a certain amount of EXP of a certain type. Others have more
unique conditions, such as having a certain Item, having a certain level of
Stress or Friendship or having played the game for a certain number of hours.
The requirements for a Digivolution to happen are explained for each individual
Digivolution, so there's no need to worry about it too much.

There are also some Digimon whom your Digimon can only Digivolve to if you have
"befriended" the Digimon. This means that you must, at some point, have either
had the Digimon itself or had 100% Scan Data for it. Other than with two
exceptions (Beelzemon and Calumon), the only way to do this is by Egg Matching
or by using a special input code.

The advantages of Digivolution are many. A Digimon will, upon Digivolving,
usually get a boost in all Parameters, and on its first time getting to the
level, an Aptitude boost, as well. It gets new traits, sometimes new
Techniques, and, of course, a new appearance.

\\\-----------------///
 2.2: DEGENERATION
///-----------------\\\

New to Digimon Story is "Degeneration", which is, effectively, the opposite of
Digivolution. When you reach a certain point in the game, you can "Degenerate"
your Digimon to previous forms at will via the Digivolution menu.

Now, you may be wondering what the point of doing this is. Well, there are a
number of advantages. First, your Digimon's Aptitude will rise when it
Degenerates to a previous form, increasing the maximum Level which it can reach
(up to a maximum of 99). Second, it will have improved Parameters over the
Parameters of a new Digimon of the form it Degenerates to. Say, if you have a
Greymon and you Degenerate him to Koromon, the Koromon resulting from the
Degeneration from Greymon will be a better Digimon than one freshly scanned at
100% Scan Data. Third, it will enable you to use the traits gained from certain
forms for other Digivolution lines, and also makes it an option to change
Digivolution lines. So for instance, if you Degenerate a MachGaogamon to
Tsunomon, you can raise Tsunomon into a MetalGarurumon with MachGaogamon's
inherited traits.

Degeneration can also make some otherwise impossible Digivolutions available.
So, let's say you have a Tsunomon which you want to Digivolve to Dracmon.
Dracmon, aside from requiring 700+ DAR EXP, requires a minimum Level of 12.
Tsunomon starts off with an Aptitude level of 10, meaning that he can only
reach Level 10 without having to Digivolve. However, if he Digivolves to Gaomon
or Gabumon and Degenerates back to Tsunomon, he gains 2 Aptitude points. This
means that he can now easily reach Level 12 and Digivolve to Dracmon, plus it
will have the advantages of the traits and inherited Parameter boosts gained
from being Gaomon or Gabumon.

This may sound confusing, but read it through and you'll soon get the idea.

The number of Aptitude Points gained depends on how many phases your Digimon
Degenerates through, as detailed here...

PHASES      APTITUDE POINTS

One         +2
Two         +5
Three       +10
Four        +20

START PHASE     RESULT PHASE     APTITUDE POINTS

Child           Baby             +2
Adult           Child            +2
Adult           Baby             +5
Perfect         Adult            +2
Perfect         Child            +5
Perfect         Baby             +10
Ultimate        Perfect          +2
Ultimate        Adult            +5
Ultimate        Child            +10
Ultimate        Baby             +20

\\\------------///
 2.3: BATTLES
///------------\\\

The battle system in Digimon Story is fairly simple, but effective.

The battlefield is depicted with five "Zones", which, for simplicity, are
referred to in the Walkthrough as Zone 1 (left), Zone 2 (middle-left), Zone 3
(central), Zone 4 (middle-right) and Zone 5 (right). Except for a select few
bosses, each Digimon occupies one Zone.

When an attacking Technique is used, it fires at the designated Zone or Zones.
Some Techniques only strike one Zone (Charge, Frothy Spit) while others target
two or more (Straight Punch, Giga Blaster). Some have a fixed range and attack
certain Zones (Wall Of Ice, Darkness Zone), and some can strike multiple times
for the same Zone or even for different Zones (Harpoon Torpedo, Giga Cannon).
There are even Techniques which can strike all Zones (Terra Force is one).
Positioning Digimon strategically in the battlefield can help you to avoid
Techniques by moving them closer together or making spaces. However, it is
vital to take another element to mind, which brings us on to the following bit.

Another element to battles is support abilities. When a Digimon is right next
to another, it will be supported by the Digimon next to it. This means that the
support ability of the Digimon next to it will give a boost to one of the
Digimon's Parameters or other statistics. You can check your Digimon's support
ability by checking its traits.

Digimon World: Dusk (NDS)

Okay, this is a guide for doing the quests, not how to get Digimon. This
won't tell you what digimon digivolves into what.  It will contain Shop
stuff (like what you buy at what store).  If you want a list of of Digimon,
then go here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/937344/49842.
Anyway, let's get started.  Click on New game, and choose whether you want
a boy or girl.  Next,enter your name.  Next choose the pack of Digimon you
want, they all have Lunamon.  Here are the packs and the Digimon they have:

Balance Pack: A well-balanced pack. It lets you get Clockmon Digimon more
quickly: MegaGaogamon, Lunamon, and Clockmon

Attack Pack: This pack raises attack quickly.  It lets you get SkullGreymon
Digimon more quickly: SkullGreymon, Lunamon, and WarGarurumon.

Defence Pack: This pack raises defence quickly.  It lets you get Kurisarimon
Digimon more quickly: MegaKabuterimon, Lunamon, and Kurisarimon.

Pretty Pack: A pack with a set of pretty Digimon.  It lets you get Pandamon
Digimon more quickly: Pandamon, Lunamon, and Lillymon.

For my first game, I chose Attack Pack.  This time around I'm using Balance

==============
DarkMoonCity
==============
DarkMoonCity is the main city for Digimon World Dusk.  You can check what
area you are in by pressing X and looking at the top screen.  There are
5 different areas to DarkMoonCity all of  them start with the dark >.>
The areas are: Dark Office (where the quest area and the entrance to
the Union Room is), Dark Gate (where the exit and entrance to DarkMoonCity is),
Dark Hall, Dark Square, Dark Plaza (where the entrance to your house,
and the shop is).

==============
Stuff you need to know
==============


Main Menu:
When you open it up, on the top menu it shows your party, your relief
Digimon,
your bits, and your location.

DigiFarm: On the top menu is the list of your farms.  On the bottom screen you
can see the farm status of each individual farm.  Digimon List, you can
see all the Digimon you currently have. Farm Goods, you can see how what
farm goods you have.

Digimon: From here you can check on the Digimon you have and Digivolve
them.You can also switch them around, and switch them with your reserves.
You are allowed to have only 3 digimon out in battle at a time.
Click on a Digimon and it takes you to another menu.
Here on the top menu you see what personality your digimon has,
it's type, how many traits it has, it's strong attribute, it's weakness,
and it's friendship.  On the bottom menu you see your digimons stats.
Also, you can choose from one of five menus:
Techniques (the moves it knows and it's Sp. Tech.)
Equip (where you can equip different items)
Traits (stuff that beefs it up in battle)
Digivolve Route (it's where you digivolve your digimon)
and S.Exp (short for Species Experience Points, more about it below



This for the 79 characters-----------------------------------------------------

Items: The items you have, excluding Equipment.  The items heal your hp,
mp, or a gate disk which returns you back to DarkMoonCity.

Quests: This shows what quest you are currently on, your Quest Completion
rate, and your Tamer Points.  Once you receive enough tamer points you can
talk to someone and they'll give you a gift, usually it's just a large sum
of Bits.

Tamer Info: Here you can check stuff about your accomplishments, like under
the first menu, Digimon Completion, Quest Completion, Digimon Defeated,
Most damage done, Top Digimon Level, and Number of Friends.  Under DigiEgg
Gallery it shows you what Digieggs of you have (no, not the DigiEggs that
armor digivolve, those you have under Key Items in the Items menu), and in
the third menu you have the Digimon Gallery.

Save: Saves your game.

Battle Menu:

Fight: Choose an attack to use to either; damage opponent, lower opponents
stats, lower opponents resistance, increase your own resistance, heal your
hp, heal your MP, or increase your own stats.

Move: You can move your digimon around to use there abilities, or switch in
your reserves (if your digimon are weak to a certain type).

Item: Use items to heal your Digimons Hp, Mp, or their status infliction.

Defend: Decrease the damage you take. Personally, I never use it except to
save MP.

Flee: Put your tails between your legs and run away.  Doesn't always work
though.

Attack Types: There are 6 different types of attacks, Fire, Holy, Dark,
Steel, Wind, and Water. Each type of Digimon has a primary type (what is
ineffective against it) and a type it's weak against.  Like most Dark
Digimon are weak against Holy, and most Holy are weak against Dark type
attacks.

Digivolving:
Species Experience: This is experience that lvls up your digimon.  All
digimon can take any kind of Species Experience, but to Digivolve, a digimon
can require a certain amount of Species Experience, i.e. Seriphimon
requires 77777 holy points.

Friendship: Some Digimon require a certain amount of Friendship percent to
digivolve, some only need 50%, some need 70, others may even require 100%.
Not all Digimon require friendship to digivolve, and it's really easy to
gain, and hard to lose (so far, I think the only way to lose it is if you
lose a battle).  To check your points, open of the menu with X, click on
Digimon, and highlight whatever Digimon, and on the Top Screen there will
be 3 hearts.  Filling one heart gives you 33.3 percent.

Other Methods to Digivolve: The other ways to Digivolve are just simply
level up your digimon, or in some rare cases you need to have certain
digimon in your Digimon List.

Shops:  In Digimon World, you use a currency called Bits.

Monster Rancher Advance 2 (GBA)

-INTRODUCTION-

First someone asks for your name,
I can't fully understand anything since its in Japanese
but if you played Monster Rancher before its
obvious what you have to do.
Now after a bunch of talking you'll end up in the city.
Now go to the top option to
create a monster on the shrine.
To create a monster you have to put a word.
Right now you can only do 4 letters but
you'll be able to get more later on.
You have many choices on what to choose,
but I suggest you start with a Hare or a Golem.
Golems are good for attack and defense so you would
like to train their speed.




                           -BATTLING-

Once you choose go to your farm to start training a lot. Go to the tournaments for the
grade E since its SO easy. Your opponents won't have much training at all, but sometimes
it can get pretty hard if you're a rookie. The torunaments can either be tournament style
where you have 2 battles and if you lose you're out or the regular one where you have
3 battles, you have to battle them all and the one with the most wins wins.

Right after the battles you might get experience if you win, if your monster is not happy
make sure you praise him, but if he's already happy and weak, don't praise him to make
sure he'll toughen up. After the battle you MUST rest your monster or the fatigue lever
will rise a lot. Now I will explain some stragety's for battling against all types of
monsters.
                        -BATTLING STRAGETY'S-

Against High Attack= When your up against monsters with high attack you better not let him
you. Go on full defense, once your losing don't reset, there are turning points, they
happen to everyone, it happens to me to. "5 seconds left, your losing by a lot, you do
your last attack, it hits, and it critical you win". these scenerios happen all the time,
don't get discouraged if your losing, you can make a comeback.

Against High Defense= When your up against defense monsters, make sure you attack
with full force, don't use your best attacks, make sure you use your guts wisely. Guts play
a big role, a good stragety is to let your opponent use all their guts in the begining, then
just attack.

Against High Speed= The speedys, my favorite, I think these are the hardest type of monsters
because you'll barely get a chance to attack, but these have very LITTLE defense so just
use attacks with high accuracy to get a quick KO.

Against High Accuracy= These are the 2nd hardest, they almost always never miss because
their hit percentage is always high. But they might have cheap moves that take
little damage, but take massive Guts out. They have pretty low attack and defense
so take that as anadvantage.

Against High Health= The easiest for me, they have high HP, but mainly low attack and
defense, the battle will last a while so you probably won't KO them.

                            -TRAINING-

Now Training, you will spend most of the time here. In the begining you can only
train in the first page until one of your old monsters becomes a coach. Once
you get a coach you can choose for what the coach should train like speed, attack,
or health. It depends on what the coach's status are like. If the coach has high
defense you should make it into a defense coach.

When you first get your monster you should train it on its weaknesses. For example,
if you have the lowest speed on all status' you should train speed until it catches
up with the others. You should have a schedule for training like "OK this month I
will attack and next month I will train HP". But training 3 times a month is good,
on the 4th week the monster should rest.

Now after you select the type of training you want, your monster will perform a task
depending in what you choose. Press A if you want to skip the training to see if your
monster passed. 3 things will happen after you finish, your monster fails, succeeds,
or does great. If your monster fails you will get nothing and you can choose to scold
you monster. If he does regular he will get normal status. Or if he does Great! it will
get extra points or double the normal points.

When you first get your monster after you finish training it will get very little points
like around 5 or 4, and if he does Great! it will get around 9. But once your monster gets
older like around 1-or-2 years old it will get 9 points for regular and around 18, 19 for
Great!

You should prepare a schedule for training not just choose whatever you want to train
for fun or you will get no where. Now if still think your monster is weak, but have a lot
money, you should get to AGIMA to do some special training. That's next.

                         -Sparring-

I recommend you only use sparring when your monster is weak in something
or you want to make him super strong. To get here you just have to go to your farm and
the 3rd option. The training list goes like this...

Attack- Hit the opponent with all you got
Intelligence- Be smart on what attack you choose
Accuracy- Your attacks should hit most of the time
Speed- Dodge your opponents attack
Defense- Let your opponent hit you and take little damage

The cost of the training will always be 3000 unless theres a special which Ayase
will inform you at the begining of the month. If theres a special it will only
be 1000 Gold. Note that the training will take one month and your monster will
be VERY tired so make you make it rest right after.

Every choice like attack or speed has its own special training monster. If you beat
the opponent you will gain more points like around 40 in the begining if your
monster is barely gotten. And on every training you always gain some Life Points, at first
you willhave only 3 trainers but once your status grows, new ones will come and their a
lot harder.

I have also found out there is a slight chance you can learn a new move for your monster.
The guy will say what are your chances before you fight a coach. And you can also learn
new traits which will make your defenses better against special type of moves like water,
fire, and physical. I got all the way to ClassMaster before I learned
even one new move. I only learned special summoning but it isn't that great. Also, when you
put your monster into a coach, that monster will also be aspecial training coach, it's too
bad if you put your monster too powerful because then you'll never be able to win :)

Also, when you are in a different class, the status of the coaches will become
much better, and sometimes a coach will leave, like around level B moochi might
leave because theres a high chance your monster is much better.

Monster Rancher Advance (GBA)

TRAINING

Each monster has six vital attributes that determine how it performs in combat.

Pow: Your monster's physical attacking strength. Pow-type moves base their
damage on this stat.
Int: Cousin to Pow, but it works for Int-type moves.
Acc: Your monster's accuracy. This stat does battle with your opponent's Speed
to figure out what your chance of hitting it is. (The characteristic Act. View
does not directly influence accuracy but makes you more likely to hit your
opponent.)
Spd: Your monster's combat agility. The higher this is, the better your chances
of making the enemy whiff when he attacks.
Def: Your monster's overall toughness and resilience. If you're hit by an
attack of either type, this number is what softens the blow.
Lif: Your monster's life force. This is exactly like HP in any other RPG.

...and in general, there are three ways of raising these statistics:
1) Training, which was discussed above,
2) Special training, which was also discussed above, and
3) Combat experience. When you win a tournament (and maybe a fight against a
stray monster - not sure) your monster gains combat experience and has a large
gain in one stat and a more modest gain in another.

It's also important to note the factors that affect how much of a statistic you
gain.

1) Monster age. Monsters follow a bell-shaped curve in their growth. When they
are very young, they don't benefit very much from training. Eventually Aroma
will give you a warning that your monster is at a time when it "grows in body
and spirit"; this is the start of Monster Puberty (if you will), a period where
growth is much faster. As your monster continues to age, its growth slows down
and eventually stops, at which time it must be combined, deleted, or brought
into coaching.
2) Monster diet - to a lesser degree than monster age. Underfed monsters don't
perform as well in combat and don't gain as much from training.
3) Type of monster. Different kinds of monsters have different 'curves' that
make it easier for them to develop their abilities in certain statistics.
Typically you can deduce these curves just by looking at the starting stats for
a monster; for example, Golems are clearly going to be good at building their
strength, while Suezo are likely to have good intelligence.
4) Coach (for regular training only). The ability of a coach in the attribute
that it is training directly affects the benefit you'll receive from the
training. (I am, as yet, not sure about heavy training; it seems to me that a
high number in all 3 statistics is good to maximize gain and minimize loss.
Must check on this...)

Now then...what attributes should you train to get maximum benefit?

The answer to this question is a little different from what you would expect.
Instead of trying to balance out your monster, train it as far as it can go in
one particular statistic - Intelligence for Suezo, for example. There is a
method to this madness...

Your problem early in the game is that while AGIMA provides coaches for you
they are not particularly stunning at their jobs. Trying to train a balanced
monster will mean you'll get less-than-maximum gains across all of your stats
and will find yourself with no advantage to speak of in the higher classes.

Instead, train a monster up to one 999 stat, and then get him to a high enough
rank to be a Coach. (You may find that you get incredible combat effectiveness
from this monster - like a certain Suezo I had [yes, I'm a fanatic, I know]
that had 999 Intelligence, 400 Accuracy, and Suezo Beam...he was
mean...anyway...be sure that the monster gets as much money for you as
possible.) Then turn him into a Coach for his 999 attribute, and repeat...this
takes patience, but you'll soon be able to train (more-) balanced monsters than
you were before.

Special training should be undertaken frequently, but not all the time (mostly
because it's expensive). Try to get in there whenever Ayase hands you a
discount. Special training is the ONLY way to get new moves, and it's important
to get your monster's best skills for the upper-crust tournaments.

Contrary to what I said about balance above, you SHOULD train your lower stats
some of the time in special training, again because this seems to give you the
best chance of getting a new skill. (It's okay to train that one super-stat
that you're going for, though, and I recommend doing that up to two-thirds of
the time. It may also be advantageous to check the other skills to see which
one affords the highest chance of learning a new skill; sometimes "it is
likely" is all you're going to get for any skills. It helps to know these
things so you can effectively make selections :)

This method has produced some strong monsters for me so far, but I have not
tried the other method of training I have heard about - freezer training.

The theory behind freezer training is that there is a certain period of time in
your monster's life where your monster gets maximum effectiveness from stat
gains. Combat experience is probably the best way of gaining experience,
because when you win a tournament, you also get money, and the tournament was
free to begin with. It also only takes one week...the advantages of combat exp.
over special training are clear.

The problem is that between tournaments you aren't gaining combat experience
and your monster is still aging. Therefore, monsters should be frozen and
'prop' monsters should be put in for them when there are no tournaments to
fight.

There are people on the GameFAQs BB who have gotten monsters up to 999 in every
stat. I envy them. I will be in their class soon...more on raising monsters to
that level in a later version.
