Buddy Appmon
| |||||||
Sorry for our appearance, but this article currently needs a lot of work.
A Buddy Appmon (バディアプモン, Badi Apumon) is an Appmon who has formed a partnership with an Appli Driver through an Appli Drive. The term describes the Appmon's relationship with their partner rather than a particular species or Grade. A Buddy Appmon retains this role in their evolved forms, such as Gatchmon becoming DoGatchmon, Globemon, and Gaiamon. Upon pairing, the originally white device takes on a color associated with the Buddy Appmon, and its screen displays the Appmon's name in capital Roman letters beneath the word "PAIRING".
The Appli Driver can use the device to Appliarise their Buddy Appmon from an active Appmon Chip, allowing them to materialize. The pair can also cooperate with other Appmon through AppLink, which combines their abilities, and AppGattai, which produces a higher-Grade Appmon. Once the corresponding evolved Chip has been obtained and activated, the Buddy Appmon can assume that form through Appliarise without repeating the AppGattai.
The Appli Drive DUO further connects the partners through Overdrive, which converts the Appli Driver's life energy into additional power for their Buddy Appmon. Appmon Appliarised with the DUO also receive a 50% power increase, and their Ultimate Grade forms can be maintained without the original device's time limit.
Concept art for Batterimon uses the term "Fellow Digimon" (仲間のデジモン, Nakama no Dejimon), although this wording has only been documented in that concept art.
Appearances[edit]
Anime[edit]
Digimon Universe Appli Monsters[edit]
Minerva chooses the principal Appli Drivers and provides them with the means to partner with their Buddy Appmon. The relationships develop through their experiences together, with the Appmon accompanying their partners both in battle and in everyday life.
The bond is affected by the destruction of the Appli Drive. When the Ultimate 4 destroy the devices belonging to Shinkai Haru, Karan Eri, Asuka Torajirou, and Katsura Rei, their Buddy Appmon disappear. The Appmon subsequently reappear without memories of their partnerships. After the children complete Minerva's trial and obtain Appli Drive DUOs, their bonds and the Appmon's memories are restored.
Manga[edit]
Digimon Universe Appli Monsters[edit]
The five principal Appli Drivers retain their respective Buddy Appmon. However, the partnership is not restricted to those chosen by Minerva: Unryuji Knight, who receives an Appli Drive from Leviathan, also partners with Mienumon and Sakusimon.
At the end of the manga, Katsura Hajime is shown alongside Onmon. Their association suggests a Buddy Appmon relationship, although Hajime is not explicitly shown possessing an Appli Drive.
Video Games[edit]
Digimon Universe Appli Monsters[edit]
Buddy Appmon partnerships exist among a much larger population of Appli Drivers, who compete in the Cyber Arena. Although Onmon is the protagonist's principal partner in the story, the player can obtain and use numerous other Appmon in gameplay.
