Regarding the earlygame for Digimon Story: Hacker's Memory

[Just call me AL]

I downloaded the game on my PS VITA some time ago. And before I start I want to know one thing because, at the moment, I'm unable to find anything that helps find out the answer to this question: What wild Digimon should I expect in the earlygame? I'm asking because I want to try to make my starter Digimon choice in Hacker's Memory a little worthwhile. (Seeing as I didn't realize that getting a PlatinumSukamon was easier than I initially thought in Cyber Sleuth.)

As with the first game, you will see many of the Baby I and Baby II forms, who can digivolve into pretty much everything. Get scan data on those and you should be good to go.
If you want a recommendation on what starter to pick: I'd say go with Betamon. There is a new Mega-level Digimon that has a piercing move and you can get to him the fastest with Betamon.

Am I right in assuming that this Digimon is obtained via a path that isn't seen in the first Cyber Sleuth game? I mean, I know Betamon probably would have become a Digimon with a piercing move anyways. But I'm just looking for confirmation here.

Yup, exactly. The whole game is basically an alternate story to the original.
