I’ve been mulling over a Digimon AU of Poke'mon Mystery Dungeon.

Something (a villain? Or someone with well-meaning intent?) has made it impossible for humans to cross into the Digital World, so when tamers/digidestined are inevitably called in their code gets warped and disguises them as digimon.

They meet their partner, who… maybe recognises/believes them, or maybe doesn’t? but decides to help out or team up with them.

For more fun, the digiworld doesn’t register that it’s successfully summoned a human, so it… keeps attempting to summon more heroes, and there’s an influx of transformed humans.

Then there’s the idea of a project in Primary Village that allows a deleted digimon’s data to be extracted from the one who absorbed them. The main characters’ missions involve retrieving this data from dungeons and criminals to restore lost digimon.

The leader would be Valkyrimon whom it seems canonically collects and restores the data of defeated warriors. If it had any relation to a canon digiworld then Impmon could be involved and raising a newly re-hatched Leomon?

A little further afield is the idea that a partner gets killed early on while the human is still at in-training and the human accidentally absorbs their data, allowing them to digivolve and beat whatever killed them, necessitating their involvement in the restoration program.



For the record, if my PMD team, Overgrow, were parallel-transformed into Digimon, they’d be Palmon, Betamon, Hagurumon.

If I took a PMD-style personality test though, I’d expect to be Lopmon. What would your team be?
