Reception
Famitsu gave the game a relatively positive score of 30/40, receiving cross review scores of 8, 7, 8, and 7, respectively, as well as earning a "must buy" recommendation for the month. It also appeared in Famitsu's list of 100 best selling Nintendo DS games in their December 2006 issue, ranking in at number 33, with 213,770 units sold. Elsewhere, the game received "mixed or average reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN reviewer Jack DeVries claimed that "...despite its derivative nature and somewhat mediocre elements, it's still a lot of fun..." and recommended the game "...for players that are dying to get their monster battling RPG fix", also meriting it for its humorous scriptwriting and unique method of collecting Digimon. GamePro said, "Old Digimon fans will absolutely love this game; it's a repackaging of the older Digimons [sic], but with much more to do."
