I've had this game on my backlog for a good while for the Switch version and decided to finally load it up. I've always been into Digimon for just as long of a time as I've been into Pokemon. But I always gone back and forth on which of the two I like more, but I do tend to prefer several of the Digimon designs more than pokemon designs at times personally as well.
Either way, being that the only other Digimon RPG that I've played before was Dusk. I have to admit that going into this felt very familiar in how some of the systems worked as well so I had no issues acclimating to the game at all. Though the Switch version does have one small 'flaw' to it that can be more seen as a feature instead of a bug if you're busy like I am. That being that the Digi-Farm still runs while the switch is in sleep mode apparently.
Obviously in doing that it does make the game a bit too easy if one was seeking a challenge since the Digi-Farm allows your 'mons to level up over time, but at this point in time for me, I didn't care at all. But the general way the turn-based battle system is done along with the digivolution and de-digivolution trees are set up for being able to get other digimon into your 'dex' I do find myself enjoying it a lot more than the recent pokemon games. (Seriously, just going up and down the trees to get certain skills feels a lot more rewarding compared to trying to breed and hope you get lucky to pass certain moves around.) And the scan feature more rewards encounters as well for being able to get mon's instead of just 'hope you're lucky'
Though just being able to turn off rando encounters or just force into one on the fly without a lot of menu surfing or taking up inventory/moveslot space is also a plus too.
But honestly, I feel like the story for this game and the characters is where it really shines. I've not finished the game so far, and only at Chapter 17 presently, but honestly a lot of the NPCs are just likable in the main story, esp Nokia during one of her major scenes. And honestly I have to admit that I really like Arata as a character as well.
Though god Kyoko is making me VERY suspicious of her now with her...crazy coffee.
Anyways, as for this piece, when I started the game, I had picked Hagarumon as being my starting Digimon in the game out of the options that I was given, and well, I knew immediately before starting the game that Machinedramon was one of the mon's that I aimed to get as part of my primary team. (Hence the one that is shown in the background) And thus it was only natural to draw them with the main protagonist of the game as well. (Currently the main ones that I've been using on my team besides Machinedramon are also Imperialdramon Dragon Mode, MetalSeadramon, and Omnimon Zwart)
And honestly, the protag is not quite a silent protag even though it seems like it at times. besides having dialogue options to give to the NPC while speaking, there are rare points that even the protag themselves have lines of dialogue too. Which does make them more like their own character.
Either way, very enjoyable game, moreso if you always enjoyed the franchise too. Though I have every intention of also starting up Hacker's Memory at some point in the future too after finishing this game as well.
