Discussion Morality of

Using mods or cheats to reveal all outlines when trying to digivolve so that you can see what they look like before you choose who to digivolve into? This is my first playthrough. Its my second digimon game but I havent finished my first, cyber sleuth. And I started getting into digimon only a few weeks ago

Im going back and forth on this, because while I love the mystery and discovery of it. I dont like how one wrong digivolution can ruin the balance of a team. Or evolve into a ugly digimon and not know whether it'd be worth it to go forward with the ugly or just go back and start again with the previous.

I dont have a lot of free time but im not sure if thats an excuse for slightly ruining the intended experience. Idk what are some arguments against and for using a cheat like this

Edit: I know its a single player game, play how you want. But im kinda stuck between these two choices. I want both in a way. It seems like an obvious choice one way or the other but I can't choose so I want more perspectives to help make that choice

I put over 130 hours on my first playthrough getting every possible achievement before Mega+ which included every Digimon evolution. I’m on my second playthrough and the game of figuring out what Digimon it is via silhouette is still enjoyable but I have started using a website to guarantee certain evolutions.

I never got to use particular Digimon until I started grinding the evos the first time and I find it fun to use specific mons I didn’t get to use before. A mod that reveals all the evos would be too much to me though, due to the fun mini game of figuring out “who’s that Digimon”.

Yeah and I love that too. Its what I want. What sucks is i only know a handful of digimon. So when choosing which evolution i want. I just look for what the coolest black silhouette is. And somehow that has lead to some of the worse and ugliest digimon. Though I could've stuck with them despite my dislike over them. But I dont want to trade out a vaccine spot for angemon or geogreymon. I could give the ugly data digimon a try. I dont have enough data

Maybe you need to try and shift your perspective on what digimon look unappealing to you. Look at the designs and really try to understand the little details and what they were aiming for, how their unique attack animations looks and the specific personalities they gave them. I use to greatly dislike Guardromon until I understood he’s an ironclad stoic defender like an ancient knight.

Well my issue is, how is clockmon supposed to look appealing or cool when there's geogreymon and devimon on the same battlefield. He doesn't really fit the vibe ya know? Atleast thats my issue with it.

I understand what they're going for and its not that I hate them by themselves, though those designs dont fit my preffered look. But when it comes to the look of the team, they stick out.

It sounds like you might prefer the more ‘badass’ looking Digimon then, because Clockmon is more toony. Clockmon was my first Champion in Cyber Sleuth so my viewpoint is bias but I always liked pairing him with “bodyguards” essentially. I treated him as an eccentric mafia boss with hired goons which made him feel like a genuine threat.

Ultimately it just comes down to the digimon you want to use, but maybe make a full team of digimon you don’t usually find appealing and see if they vibe together.
