Gameplay
Gameplay
• Illustration — One Digimon attacks another, with the teams of both sides visible on the top screen. Digimon World Championship is a simulation title which focuses singularly on the virtual pet raising, caretaking, training, and battling with no RPG or world exploration elements. It varies from other Digimon games released on Nintendo DS in that the player does not give commands in a fight but the Digimon choose their attacks themselves. It also requires that the player feeds and looks after their Digimon, also having to heal, cure, and clean up after them, much like the older Digimon games. This is also the first Digimon game to include the Dracomon line of Digimon, featuring Petitmon, Babydmon, Dracomon, Coredramon (Air), Coredramon (Ground), Wingdramon, Groundramon, Slayerdramon, and Breakdramon. The starting Digimon is Botamon.
