That's exactly what happened, it was Imperialdramon that killed him. The dreams destroyed the body that he gained in the dream world, but his soul was still intact and Imperialdramon finished him off.

Oh yeah. You're right. What I meant was that rather than that alone, there should have been fighting him the whole time, like he throws a punch at Imperialdramon at the exact point when one of the dark spore kids is like yeah I believe or some such rancid shit, and Imperialdramon throws a punch back, and they do a Punch Parry, or Cross Counter, and Belial's arm suddenly explodes because he just lost some power, and then the other digimon start laying into him and he loses more parts, fighting a slow losing battle as more kids gain hope, and he loses more parts...

And it should still be a tough fight because even without the spores empowering him, he's still naturally powerful and all that shit.

And then after all that, Giga Destroyer....along with every other attack to kill him.

That's how you do it 02.

Or maybe my idea would suck. like I said before, Daemon(provided they explained him) was a viable final boss too.

Hell, so was Dagomon if they had followed up on him.

Anything but what we got.

I could see Daemon being a good villain if being sealed in the Dark Ocean was part of his plan. Like, he harvests the dark spores, then is beating up Imperialdramon, they seal him in the Dark Ocean and he's like ahaha you stupid fucks and then goes and grabs Dagomon and uses the dark spores to turn him into Leviamon. Then the pair return and start fucking shit up some more.

[up][up] Fix Fics are never Better Than Canon. At least, I've never encountered one that is.

[up]Well aware of that.

Annoyed though I am at the ending, I don't presume that I could do better, even if it turned out I actually could.

Anyway, what's done is done.

And 02 gave us the Funky Ninja plant Shurimon, so it's all good.

Dragomon's official art really badassed him up, didn't it? Incidentally, this makes it look like his "real" Mega is Pukumon, who indeed first appeared in the same v-pet as him.

Looking at that I can easily buy Pukumon as his real Mega. But I prefer Leviamon.

I think Zero 2:A Revision was pretty decent, but that was more of redoing than a Fix Fic.

It was at that, but I was unsure about bringing up a fanfic due to the less then positive attitude towards it.

I think it fine. To me fanfiction is like finding a good book. Most either don't interest you or are really terrible. It is hard to fine a good one.

90% of fanfiction is crud, but the other 10% is okay-ish.

Not at all. There's plenty of good fiction out there, and great, there's probably less bad published fiction than there is mediocre + good + great.

Nah, a lot of fanfiction are mediocre to me. I agree with there are less bad ones to every other type for normal fiction. I think that the ratio is just higher for fanfiction.

Dagomon evolving into Leviamon is kind of dumb. Dagon evolving into Pukumon makes much more sense when one remembers Dagon was a grain/fish god while Leviathan was a fire breathing reptile that later became a generic term for whale.

As of now it is rather jarring Dagomon is a cephalopod rather than a vertebrate and there is not one trace of plant/agriculture in him. Should have just drawn up a new monster for 02, Yamon or Lotanmon, Lotanmon->Leviamon would be sensible or Hafgufamon to Leviamon, Dagomon to Lyngbakmon.

Dagomon is Octomon's evolution. It is an octopus that gained Eldritch powers, that's all. Just like Marine Devimon is Gesomon's evolution.

I actually think Daemon's prevolution fits best with Skullsatamon. If only due to how overpowered both of them are.

Lilithmon I'd say Ladydevimon. Seems to fit.

Still, Digimon have evolutionary nets, rather than trees.

Oh, and it seems official Bandai games are now giving Impmon a line (not the Korean MMORP Gs). According to Digimon Crusader, it seems they are going with Impmon -> Wizardmon -> Baalmon -> Belzeebumon. I liked Boogeymon and Phelesmon, but can't say I outright dislike this one either.

I prefer Candlemon > Wizardmon > Phantomon > Piedmon myself. Namely because Piedmon doesn't get terribly many decent Wizard-type choices for lines.

I remember when Piemon was a jogress of Phantomon and Vamde(Myotis)mon.

Also when he was the Mega of Matadormon but I never liked that one.

If I could I would rewrite Digimon's evolution lines going back to the Pendulums. I would mostly focus on creating new monster to 1) decrease the amount of overlap, rookies would still have seventeen to fifty different champion forms but two rookie being able to evolve into the same monster would be incredibly rare.

2) focus on creating more regular champion, ultimate, mega monsters. More Drimogemon, Mamemon and Metalseadramon so that Huckmon, sovereigns, seven demon lords, ect seem more special.

Maybe I would make it an alternate universe because I know such a prospect would wreak havoc on the card games but then I think power creep already did and I would like to see it reigned in.

I prefer Digivolution not being straightforward and multiple Digimon being able to wind up as the same species.

I don't see why digimon sharing evolutionary forms is a problem. They don't have set in stone lines to begin with.

It makes for forgettable intermediate stages, always a problem in any fighting series.

A lot of things make for that problem. Like Gatomon always being in hers, for example. Maybe make those intermediates valuable in other ways. Make their attacks do different, non-combat stuff (did I just suggest HM moves?) or have them be useful in transit or something.
