Editing Digimon (section)

==Premise==
Several media in the franchise are contained within their own [[Continuity (fiction)|continuity]]; however, they all share a similar setting and premise. For instance, most ''Digimon'' stories begin with a human child, who comes into contact with a Digimon. This generally occurs either through an accidental entrance into the so-called Digital World<ref>[[Mamoru Hosoda|Hosoda, Mamoru]] (director) (March 7, 1999 - March 26, 2000). ''Digimon Adventure'' (anime). Japan: [[Toei Animation]].</ref> or an encounter with a Digimon who has come into the human world.<ref>Kaizawa, Yukio (director) (April 1, 2001 - March 31, 2002). ''Digimon Tamers'' (anime). Japan: [[Toei Animation]].</ref> The child or children then often find themselves equipped with a "digivice", which is a device modelled after the series' virtual pets; this device enables them to empower their partner Digimon.

While some Digimon act like wild beasts, there are many who form small societies and follow governing bodies.<ref>{{Cite web|title=オメガモン {{!}} デジモン図鑑|url=https://digimon.net/reference/detail.php?directory_name=omegamon|access-date=2021-08-20|website=デジモンウェブ {{!}} デジモン公式総合サイト|language=ja}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=チンロンモン {{!}} デジモン図鑑|url=https://digimon.net/reference/detail.php?directory_name=qinglongmon|access-date=2021-08-20|website=デジモンウェブ {{!}} デジモン公式総合サイト|language=ja}}</ref> Digimon can change through evolution (or "digivolution" in most English-language dubs), where they absorb additional data that allows them to change forms. This process is normally linear, but there are other methods, depending upon the media within the franchise. For example, "Jogress" (a [[portmanteau]] of "joint progress"; "DNA Digivolution" in most English-language dubs)<ref>"United We Stand" ("Jogress Evolve Now, Hearts Together as One"). ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]''. Episode 26. October 1, 2000.</ref> is when two or more Digimon combine into a single being. Though evolution can occur naturally, Digimon can progress into stronger forms more quickly, when they are partnered with a human.
