Early in a player's time with Digimon Story Time Stranger, they will be instructed to select one of three starter Digimon. Those starters are DemiDevimon, Gomamon, and Patamon, and players may want more information about this decision before they make it. This guide is here to provide that information, and it will help players pick the best starter Digimon in Digimon Story Time Stranger.
Before getting into which starter in Digimon Story Time Stranger is best, it is important to emphasize that players really should just pick the one that they like the most. Indeed, players will ultimately be able to obtain all three starters quite easily, which reduces the importance of this decision. While more information about obtaining the starters after the preliminary section can be found below, players should feel free to simply select the one that they find most appealing.
Best Starter in Digimon Story Time Stranger
Since Time Stranger players will be able to get all three starters, it can be said the "best" starter to pick is the one that takes the longest to obtain after the preliminary selection. This makes Patamon the optimal pick, as it is possible to get both DemiDevimon and Gomamon before it. That said, all three starters can be obtained very early in the game, and, again, players really should just take the one that they like.
How to Get All Starters in Digimon Story Time Stranger
DemiDevimon
Players can get DemiDevimon in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, near the very beginning of the game. Simply convert a Kuramon, which can be found all over the area, digivolve it into Pagumon, and then digivolve that Digimon into DemiDevimon.
Alternatively, players can convert Impmon or Gazimon, both of which can be found in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, de-digivolve it into Pagumon, and then digivolve into DemiDevimon.
Gomamon
Not long after the boss fight at the top of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, players will visit the Shinjuku Underground Waterway as part of the Reunions Bring Trouble mission. Here, players can find Bukamon, and they can convert it and then digivolve it into Gomamon.
Patamon
Players will return to the Shinjuku Underground Waterway as part of the Resonating Thoughts mission, which comes quickly after completing Reunions Bring Trouble. This time around, players can find Tokomon, which can be converted and digivolved into Patamon.
While it will take players longer to reach the point at which they can earn Patamon than it will to get to DemiDevimon and Gomamon, they should be able to do so in less than five hours.
