generally they seem to have decided:

Flamon > Agnimon
Gotsumon > Grottemon
Tinkermon > Fairymon
Pomumon > Arbormon
Bearmon > Chackmon
Strabimon > Wolfmon
Gizamon > Ranamon
KoKabuterimon > Blitzmon
Kokuwamon > Mercuremon
Liormon > Lowemon
Gazimon > Duskmon

Those line-ups are nice. Shame that they appear to be PBandai exclusive.

Also, a warning to anyone thinking about getting an English DMX2, Bandai seems to have screwed up the release by having the version rosters flipped. The English exclusive alt colors are flipped as well.

Those are all reasonable though not quite the same as bespoke child designs... Interestingly, these DiMs don't seem to include the "Agreed-on" hybrid-stand-in-perfects for cherubimon's warriors (Volcamon, Mermaimon, Jureimon, I don't even know if there is one for steel but they're not including BlackSeraphimon either, and I don't think there is one for corrupted Darkness), though I do like the ones they've chosen instead.

EDIT: I guess Wisemon is sometimes the steel one due to AncientWisemon, but while they are including Wisemon, I have a hard time seeing it have ANYTHING to do with Steel

I've been calling it "Reichmon" for as long as I've known it existed. Heck, the name I first heard all the way back in the depths of time was "Reichmon" before we got either Raihimon or Rhihimon.

Shame they didn't have this decided before they printed all the Hybrid support in BT07 of the card game.

My understanding is that hybrid decks aren't super relevant anymore in the Japanese meta, but if they were paired with new support cards for those decks it could work.

Are you interested in current English format, speculation about what English players will play when BT08 and the starters release early next month, or the current Japanese format? We can give some level of thoughts on each.

Ahhh, okay. Your best bet for stuff like that is probably gonna be DPP's channel. He posts a bunch of locals footage, but he's based in Singapore so he plays in the JP format.

As for my own thoughts: the current best decks are all varying degrees of hybrid decks, with Blue Hybrids being the standout best deck. It's a weird format, because it's pretty varied and everything can win, but also blue is clearly better than the other decks. I've been playing green hybrids and black X-Antibodies, and am mostly just excited to get to BT08. The format's going to change pretty drastically, with the introduction of the new Imperialdramon and Mastemon starter decks immediately being meta contenders, Armor Release, and another huge chunk of X-Antibody support (I hope) bringing that deck up to meta contention. Hybrids will remain strong, but it will most likely be much less overwhelmingly so.

The hits to the Eyesmon package and SaviorHuckmon becoming official as of BT08 prerelease (April 29th) will also have interesting implications for the format going forward, since in JP meta Jesmon was the only red deck people played, and Eyesmon did a lot to keep Lilith Loop (and purple in general) viable. It's a lot of exciting stuff.

Im glad the starter decks are meta relevant, mastemons one of my favorite digimons!

And i like dpp, it is perhaps unfortunate the jp meta isnt as relevant to me but its nice to watch some form of competitive play

Yeah, it's super exciting to have starter decks actually be pretty impactful. Just FYI, if you're looking to buy in, you're gonna want two copies of the Mastemon starter, some cards from contemporary sets, and at least a few copies of the BT3 LadyDevimon.

I wonder if on reprints they'll change the Frontier mistranslations and Dorugreymon. I figured BurningGreymon would've been off limits as a protagonist evo, but now Lighdramon is challenging that claim.

If theyre gonna clean it up, i hope they do it backwards too. Like i dont really have a stake in changing omnimon to omegamon but it makes no real sense to do it for lighdramon and not omegamon. And the fake greymons make even less sense!

I dunno if there's much point to changing Dorugreymon, the way his name is written in Japanese is only one character away from reading Dorugreymon anyway.
