F$#K yes, YES. Finally, dammit
Was about to go try learning some move with numemon when it suddenly passed... Got rookie gabumon by focusing training on Speed and Brains only, and had more MP than HP. Kept roughly the same approach with gabumon, except I went for more HP than MP. Did some battling and this time I kept weight in check above 25. I think it weighed 29 when digivolution happened.
