More importantly, actual evolution doesn't change the individual. The "evolution" in Pokémon and Digimon should be called "development".

Yes, that's better, thank you.

That's actually what it's called in German. Never thought about the implications of the "X evolved to Y" screens.

God damn were the 90s stupid.

high-test crazy

Japanese media is stupid too, Pokémon especially. South Park even commented on that when it was new. So it was stupid against stupid.

In Italian Digimon it's called Digievolution
