Free Attribute blew my mind off... This new report did mentioned Digimental digieggs in ancient times and Free Attribute is ACTUALLY ANCIENT attribute?! Even before Attribute trio existed... Freaking that is HUGE DISCOVERY.
But how do they explain that about some ones had Vaccine/Data/Virus before reclassified as Free? I will look forward for that next explanation.
Oh yeah Vaccine/Data/Virus attribute explanations surprised me. Data isn't neutral? Huh it exists to adapt to the environment it lives...
Glad Variable attribute finally got mentioned but what does it mean by "irregular" according to the place? Elemental environment or what?
It's not really a "new" discovery since that's what they have always implied from the beginning. The whole gimmick with the
02 partners (and their related evolutions) was that they were descendants of ancient species, and they were also all
Free-attribute. You put two and two together, and get
"ancient species ancestry = Free-attribute"
Attribute reclassification doesn't need to be explained. Most of the time it's purely just for gameplay or technical reasons. Besides, a Digimon species can have multiple attributes, even if only one attribute is specifically recorded in the DRB.
Data is still "neutral" in relation to the other two, so I don't know what you're talking about. It neither rewrites nor restores the environmental data. It accepts the environment as it is without altering anything, unlike
Virus and
Vaccine.
Variable is not dependent on location. It's dependent on the "situation." How it works in the original TCG is that
Variable assumes the most-effective attribute against the enemy it's attacking. Against
Viruses, Variable becomes
Vaccine. Against
Vaccine, it becomes
Data. It responds with the most superior choice depending on the situation.
