[edit] Plot

A huge earthquake caused by a strange virus has stricken the Sunshine and Dark Moon districts, damaging the access points to the Digital World and causing many Digimon to mysteriously degenerate into Digi-Eggs. In Dawn, rumors have spread that the Night Claw Team (referred to in game as Night Crow) from Moonlight District (Reffered to as Darkmoon), was responsible for the incident and vice versa for the Light Fang team. With both sides accusing the other, players will take the role of an opposing tamer to investigate and uncover the truth behind the dangerous tremors.

Note that although the games will share a main story, it is known that the plot will differ between Dawn and Dusk to some degree. Players will also explore different areas depending on the version of the game they play. You may choose to play as a boy or girl, though the boy and girl look slightly different depending on the version you play. The two games will feature parallel storylines with a main team in each that opposes the other (Light Fang in Dawn and Night Claw/Night Crow in Dusk), though the two teams work together towards a common cause.[2]

[edit] New Digimon

As with Digimon World DS, Dawn and Dusk introduce several new Digimon to the franchise. Chicchimon is a new Bird based Fresh/In-Training Digimon. Grimmon, ChaosGrimmon, and EXO-Grimmon also make their first appearances in the game as the main enemy. Grimmon seems to have a connection with Chronomon Destroyer Mode, a boss from the first game.

Dawn and Dusk also complete the Digivolution lines of the Digimon from Digimon Data Squad, with the likes of ShineGreymon and MirageGaogamon, after having been left out in the first game. DotShineGreymon and DotMirageGaogamon make their debut, with DotAgumon and DotFalcomon returning from the first game and also includes DNA Evolution to obtain stronger Digimon.

There is a possible reason as to why ShineGreymon, MirageGaogamon, and Ravemon aren't in the first game, and in Dawn and Dusk. The protagonist in Digimon World DS uses a Digivice IC, and in the anime, the Digivice IC couldn't hold the power of the Mega level Digimon. In Dawn and Dusk, the protagonist uses a Digivice Burst, which is capable of handling the Mega level Digimon, in addition to their Burst Modes.

[edit] Starter Digimon
