Keenan and Digital families
Pinky75910 : A line in a recent Digimon Data Squad struck a chord with me, Keenan speaking to his human parents - "Thank you, for giving me life. My digimon family made me who I am..." Does he have any idea what "biological parents" are? "Parents" period don't actually exist in the Digital World, even though as Patamon said in Season 1, not even all digimon know "how it works." Has Keenan had the "where babies and digieggs come from" talk? What does he make of what these humans are to him?
Hagaren Gao: H...hoeeee
Hagaren Gao: I would assume he wouldn't know about the whole human parenting thing, not sure about the Digimon side of it. He's only like, 12 after all. Heck, how *are* digieggs formed?
Pinky75910 : digimon come from other digimon. literally.
Pinky75910 : usually after masaru punched them.
Pinky75910 : All "families" in the digital world are by adoption.
Pinky75910 : With the exception of Terriermon and Lopmon
Hagaren Gao: Hmm. I had never really thought about that actually.
Pinky75910 : T and L? As far as the movie goes, they were both born from one digi-egg, which makes them twins.
Hagaren Gao: That's only happened once in the whole of Digimon so far. Willis lucked out big time.
Pinky75910 : Yeah, I wondered about that actually -
Pinky75910 : A digimon takes strength from the human to digivolve-
Pinky75910 : What if they both digivolved at once? What would happen to Willis?
Hagaren Gao: Think Kokomon still got his strength from Willis when he evolved?
Pinky75910 : why wouldn't he? How else would he be able to?
Hagaren Gao: Well, all those wild Digis got to their respective levels some how.
Pinky75910 : Sora and Biyomon, and Rika and Renamon.. and Henry and Terriermon proved digis can digivolve without their partner's consent.
Pinky75910 : The way I figure -
Pinky75910 : Is that "evolution" as defined in this world, takes hundreds of millions of years, but usually doesn't retrogress. "Digivolution" is instantaneous, but doesn't last.
Hagaren Gao: Sounds logical to me.
Pinky75910 : Leomon of File Island started out as a digiegg, but perhaps after many years of.. doing whatever he does, he managed to become champion on his own.
Pinky75910 : Lookit Gatomon
Hagaren Gao: Seems like any Digimon can digivolve after some time, but having a Tamer or whatnot speeds up the process by a lot.
Pinky75910 : I agree.
Pinky75910 : Or maybe, Calumon's digivolution power was always out there, got turned into Calumon in Season 3, and then got returned afterward.
Pinky75910 : but in adventure, they seemed to hammer in that digimon *can't* digivolve without a human -
Pinky75910 : I mean, otherwise, what the hell are the DD's special for?
Pinky75910 : There's Pokemon out in the wild that should exist only by the power of trades or stones or other weird situations - 'splain that.
