eh, I don't really like using Appmon in Digimon lines.

I'll agree with you for 99% of those, but Mirrormon is too adorable and fitting for me to really take umbrage with imo.

For the Corrupted Darkness Spirits, I like SoundBirdmon* as the Child stage, and for the Ultimate stage, I forget the name, but it's that one Digimon that's the result of all seven Demon Lords being jogressed together

*technically that one doesn't have an official level yet as it debuted in Xros Wars, but I'll bet you it will be a Child stage if it ever gets an official designation

SoundBirdmon works better as MailBirdramon’s Child form in my opinion. There’s not really anything about it that ties into “Darkness”.

Most Armor stage Digimon count as Adult stage too, outside of a couple that count as Perfect

The original Digimon card game didn't have Child or Adult digimon officially, instead they're "Level III" and "Level IV" (Perfect and Ultimate are called as such) for whatever reason. Worked pretty well once 02 rolled around because they just made every armor digimon a level IV, including Magnamon and Gold Rapidmon.

Meanwhile Hybrids were broadly kind of funky all around when they started showing up in the card game. For instance most of the earliest printings of the H-Hybrids were actually meant to be equivalent to Ultimate digimon in terms of combat results. Also for some reason you could use Spirits in lieu of many Digimentals, IE The H Spirit of Fire had an effect where it could be used instead of the Digimental of Courage, the H Spirit of Ice could be used instead of Friendship, and so forth. The game eventually pulling way back and making it so you could find Hybrids as regular evolutions was probably inevitable for the sake of sanity.

The original card game actually came before Adventure. Armor evolutions wouldn’t be invented for at least another year or so.

Rafflesimon

An Ultimate level Fairy Digimon said to be the largest flower in the Digital World. While its appearance is so beautiful that it enraptures all who lay eyes upon it, the stench it emits is out of this world. There are a number of people who fell for Rafflesimon's beauty at first sight and sought to find it again after a single glance. However, Rafflesimon's lifespan is short, and its life processes will cease after just several days have passed. Because of the extremely low likelihood of being able to catch sight of a Rafflesimon, it is also known as the 'Miraculous Flower'. Despite its circumstances, Rafflesimon never expresses any pessimism about its looming death, constantly yearning to live a normal life and dancing elegantly till its very last.

Its Special Move is firing its sleeve like a cannon (Ballet Gun). It utilises the large flower petals that dance around it as reflectors, reflecting its shots so that no enemy can escape. Not only that, it can also shed scales from its body (Wisselen). These scales cause anyone whose body they have latched onto to lose consciousness and turn into Rafflesimon's servants.

also, Agumon Hakase got a sidekick; Terriermon Intern

Rafflesimon is, like most new Digimon, incredibly busy. I like the way they incorporated the rafflesia into the design though, using it as a collar rather than a hat/head. I’m also shocked at the lack of visible cleavage.

Also Terriermon Assistant is the best thing.

I realize it's literally "Assistant Terriermon", but "Terriermon Intern" flows better and gets the point across more elegantly, in my opinion.

Hell, even a series in a similar vein to Adventure only with a new cast would have been perferable.

I'll probably still end up watching this but my interest has kind of dwindled a bit (seriously Toei, you have 7 other shows worth of characters to draw on, you don't have to keep milking the originals over and over).

No other series can milk nostalgia as hard as Adventure. Even when they have Konaka ready to make a Tamers sequel that'll likely be better than every series in years (because Tamers, which is already the best series by itself), they won't take it, because Toei only knows how to milk nostalgia lately. Sometimes it works (Dragon Ball Super), sometimes it does not (Tri).

We also have the first PV for Digimon Survive, and even if the gameplay's still unclear, I love the mood the PV has.

On the bright side, the new movie seems to be helmed by much of the same crew that worked on Adventure so maybe it won't be a total disaster like Tri was at the very least. I still would like a new TV series one day though.

Is this like, a horrible monkey paw situation


Like you know how in almost every KIDS SHOW WHERE THE FANS GROW UP AND THEY WANT THE SHOW TO GROW UP WITH THEM situation

IE almost any drat property from the 80s to the 2000s

Did someone find a working monkey's paw and do that here? Like, is that what's going on? Oh, yeah, now the show is exclusively for you older fans! Have loving fun with that and don't let the door hit you in the rear end on the way out

This kinda rustles my jimmies because my jimmies have been rustled over at Pokemon for the constant Gen 1 pandering. But this hits me a lil extra because we even have a voiced script of how the entry after Adventure could get a revival.

Looking at it from a purely business point of view, you have a movie series that made a ton of money up to the very end versus the sales of a BD set that made less money than both the sets that came before it.

I mean even Konaka was realistic about his expectations there.

Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I don't like what "Digimon Tamers 2018" was building up towards. My biggest points of contention are that putting Jian in the NSA of all things comes with a lot of real world baggage that feels very out of character for him, given he was a character defined by his ethics and sense of right and wrong, and future!Takato leaving his fiance to travel the world and find himself just draws out and reminds me of everything else that's frustrating about how he and Juri are written all over again.

Pretty much the only thing I still like about it is motocross Ruki.
