Field

From Wikimon

A Digimon's Field (フィールド Fīrudo, Americanized name: Family) is an overall branching group of Digimon that each one belongs to. There are ten different fields, each with a different theme. Digimon can have more than one field or none. Field represents three things.

First of all, Digimon of the same field are likely to be able to evolve into similar forms, making it slightly easier to construct and group cards together at a glance. In the Digital Monster Card Game, fields are symbolized by a small tile with a two or three letter abreviation, with one large letter in the upper left corner and the other large letter in the lower right corner, sometimes with a third smaller letter immediately next to it.

Secondly, in some media like Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01, a field can represent the habitat that the Digimon occupies. A Digimon in its own field can get an advantage in the card game.

The Digimon Pendulums are also based on those fields (they are indeed the source of them and were later adapted into the cards), with them introducing the first themed Evolution trees, as opposed to the rather random Evolution trees of the original V-Pets.

The Digital World in which the Digimon Xros Loader Toy is set is inspired by the classical portrayal of the Folder Continent and its different areas, which happens to explain why several Zones are named after certain Fields.
