Appmon (species)

Under Construction Sorry for our appearance, but this article currently needs a lot of work.

Appmon (アプモン Apumon), short for Appli Monster (アプリモンスター Apuri Monsutā; Dub: App Monster), are a type of digital creatures based on smartphone apps. Possessing artificial intelligence, being able to think and act independently, they are "app lifeforms" that were born within the boundary between the Real World and digital space, lurking within the Net Ocean. Sources differ as to whether or not Appmon are a specialized form of Digimon. They share several similarities to Digimon but have specific features exclusive to them. Appmon are found in the "Common network", they are the "Apps" that humankind use everyday. They exist in this middle ground between the humans' physical world and the "Deeper network" of Digimon, commonly known as the Net. There are as many different species of Appmon as many apps exist.

Characteristics

In the Real World, Appmon exist in the form of an Appmon Chip, and are able to appliarise from them through the use of a device such as the Appli Drive. They also each have two retractable Plugs attached to them, which they use to applink with other Appmon.

Origin

Unlike Digimon who exist within deeper layers of the Network known as Digital World, Appmon exists in the middle ground between our physical world and the deeper Network, in the form of the "Mobile apps" that people use everyday. The setting of Appmon is inspired by the OSI model.

Composition

Both Digimon and Appmon are made of data; while the former are made of Binary code and wireframe, the latter are a combination of more complex coding language.

Evolution

Appmon evolve via AppGattai (アプ合体, Apugattai; lit. "App Fusion"). This occurs if Appmon applink in a specific combination. AppGattai can sometimes result in failure; the failed AppGattai of two Standard-grade Appmon will result in forming Sukasimon, of two Super-grade Appmon, Damedamon.

Classification

Like Digimon, Appmon species are also given several different classifications. Although some of the parameters used to classify them differ from those used for Digimon, they can be seen as equivalences.

App

Appmon represent different type of apps, possessing the abilities of those apps. They each have a unique icon called an "Appli Icon" (アプリアイコン, Apuri Aikon), similar to the app icon on smartphone, displayed on the back of their Appmon Chips.

Grade

Appmon species are classified by "Grade" (グレード, Gurēdo). This is analogous to a Digimon's Level:

Type

Analogous to a Digimon's Attribute, Appmon species are classified into eight "Types" (属性, Zokusei), each of which represents the genre of the app that they are based on:

Buddy

Appmon can have a Buddy (バディ, Badi), a human with whom the Appmon has a partner relationship and is analogous to partner Digimon:

Power

Every Appmon appliarised via the Appli Drive DUO will have 1.5 x power than normal, by fusing the Appli Driver's life energy into it. The Appli Driver can also use 'Overdrive' function to maximize their Appmon's power.

Trivia

• During an interview in April 2016, one month before the reveal of the Appmon Project in May 2016, Seki Hiromi first talked about the idea of the next generation of Digimon being smartphone apps. Some time later, this premise was confirmed by Yoshiaki Orihara, the instigator of the Appmon Project.
• During a livestream dedicated to Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker's Memory, Habu Kazumasa, Kakudou Hiroyuki and Watanabe Koji mentioned Appmon as an example of the adaptation of Digimon to the new digital age and mass access to the Network, while centering around the implications that this new concept would entail in the definition of Digimon and the Digital World itself. The staff coins this new parallel world created around the digital theme as "Digital Parallel".
