Yes, we understand that for characters whose abilities depends on other appable characters, this can limit their power. However, there are players out there who do play Digimon and other sapient companions - so we don't want to inhibit their ability to app. Not only that, but we want to make sure players play the characters they actually apped rather than lean heavily on their companion for interactions. So this decision will not be changing.

Thank you for your feedback and for understanding!
