==Story==
Sometime in the 21st century, rapid developments in technology have spawned life forms—Digital Monsters—in the Digital World. This sparks rumors of a cover-up by the DATS organization under the National Public Safety Commission. To substantiate the rumors, the protagonist sneaks into the school computer room, where the protagonist is transported to the Digital World.
As he or she raises and befriends new Digimon and rises in the rank, he or she faces all sorts of adventures. He or she meets great friends, and makes some powerful enemies. Most of the times, any crisis that he or she deals with has been orchestrated by an evil entity calling himself Unknown-D.

==New Digimon==
[[Category:BEC]]
Digimon World DS marks the first appearance of several Digimon, some that later appear in [[Digimon Savers]], like [[Gawappamon]], the evolution of [[Kamemon]]. [[Chronomon Destroyer Mode]]/[[Chronomon Holy Mode]], the game's final boss, also makes his first appearance.
[[Category:Bandai Namco Games]]
The game introduces two special Digimon, DotAgumon and DotFalcomon, both of which have the appearance of sprites which look like their [[Digimon virtual pet|V-Pet]] counterparts. These Digimon seem to have no special qualities except for useful traits, and being able to be degenerated back into their In-Training forms, then evolve into more powerful Digimon.<!--this entire section seems a bit confusing-->
==Unusual Digivolutions==
''Digimon World DS'' features rather unusual Digivolution lines for some of its Digimon; Many Digimon have digivolution lines that do not correspond with established lines in other media. The digivolution lines in Digimon World DS and other Digimon media are equally vaild as Digimon do not have set evolutions as Pokémon do, rather suggested lines that are logical upgraded forms.
* [[Impmon]] cannot digivolve to [[Beelzemon]], his true Mega form as shown in [[Digimon Tamers]] ([[Infermon]] digivolves into [[Beelzemon]].).
* [[Poyomon]] along with several other Fresh level Digimon are In-Training level in the game, and digivolve into Rookie level Digimon. Because of this, Poyomon can digivolve into either [[Gomamon]], [[Crabmon]], or [[Kamemon]] (all of which are Aquan types, unlike the rest of Poyomon's normal evolutionary line Patamon (Bird), and Angemon through Seraphimon (Holy)).
* [[Leomon]] does not have [[SaberLeomon]] as a mega form ([[Rapidmon]] gets that honor), instead he digivolves into [[Monzaemon]] who can then digivolve into [[BantyoLeomon]].
*[[Cyberdramon]] cannot digivolve into [[Justimon]] (but [[SuperStarmon]] can). Instead, it digivolves into [[Ghoulmon]] Black.
* [[Zudomon]] digivolves into [[Vikemon]], instead of [[Plesiomon]], (As Vikemon's previous form, [[Shakkoumon]], is absent from the game). Instead, [[Whamon]] digivolves into [[Plesiomon]].
* [[Angewomon]] digivolves into [[MarineAngemon]] instead of [[Ophanimon]] or [[Magnadramon]], although Ophanimon is an NPC in the game. Magnadramon is absent from the game.
* [[Gekomon]] cannot digivolve into [[ShogunGekomon]], because ShogunGekomon only appears as a non-obtainable boss. Instead, Gekomon digivolves into Whamon.
There is a possible reason as to why [[ShineGreymon]], [[MirageGaogamon]], and [[Ravemon]] aren't in the game, and in [[Digimon World: Dawn and Dusk]]. The protagonist in ''Digimon World DS'' uses a Digivice IC, and in the anime, the Digivice IC couldn't hold the power of the Mega level digimon. In ''Digimon World Dawn/Dusk'', the protagonist uses a Digivice Burst, which is capable of handling the Mega level digimon, in addition to their Burst Modes.
==Glitches==
There is a bug in the game in which, for no apparent reason, the Digifarm Gate disappears. However, it can still be used and comes back later. Also, when leveling up, some relief Digimon may have their stats reset to single-digit numbers. This is rare and usually only occurs in the Digimon in the bottom right box. There is no way to fix this outside of re-earning the stat points through leveling, or by saving often and paying close attention to the stats of the Digimon.
