Nah, tamers was always about the core 3 kids and the others that joined their ranks as time went aw were always treated as secondary cast members. In fact in it's final art one of them turned into the important plot point by being the core of the eldritch horror powered by the depression of a forsaken child and another one moved up from secondary cast to primary for the final battles.

Though the latter character was the star of his own video games that are canon to both Adventure 02 AND tamer even though Adventure is a cartoon in the Tamer's world.

Those wonderswan RPGs are weird.

Nah, Kamen Rider Digimon was pretty rad, actually. Except near the end of the series where only 2 of the 6 kids could help in battle at all, but that's a problem the show shares with Adventure and 02.

I have no idea how anybody liked that season myself. It wasn't as horrible as it could be, but still very bad.

Koji with Wolfmon/Garmmon/Beowolfmon/MagnaGarurumon and Koichi with Loweemon/KaiserLeomon. The former is one of the two that keeps importance, the latter loses his powers so the former can fight in better forms and is ultimately killed because, as you can read, his second form was a Leomon and that's a death sentence.

It's Takuya with Agnimon/Vritramon/Aldamon/KaiserGreymon that takes the other spotlight-stealing spot.


Not quite. Adventure actually gives a lot of importance to the entire team even as Taichi and Yamato hit one level higher than the rest (hell, it's Takeru that is critical in taking down the most powerful Dark Master, Taichi and Yamato lose). Tamers has all four protagonists hit Mega and, while Guilmon gets a super mode, it ends up being mostly unimportant and it's Ruki and Ryo that give the finishing blow to the D-Reaper, with Jenrya devolving it to a primal state; Savers also has all four protagonists hit Mega although Masaru and Touma ultimately hog the spotlight, and Tri is divided into movies which follow two Children each, thus evading that problem entirely.

Also the time moving is very much an Adventure thing, since no other series got a sequel. Taichi goes from 11, to 14, to 17; with the other characters following suit. Xros Wars also has a one-year timeskip, but we don't talk about that, ever.

It was MegaGargomon that ended the D-Reaper. Justimon and Sakuyamon hit it, yes, but it regenerated just fine a second later, making their attack pointless. I remember this much because of Netflix.

Tamers was the high point in the whole series. Best writing and characterization and then it went downhill from there. Spose' Lovecraft isn't very marketable in the long run.

I may sound like a bitter old woman, but what sticks with me the most was that girls were rarely if ever in the special kick rear end snowflake groups. it was alway give up your powers for the greater good or some poo poo so spiky haired dude can have enough power ups to fight this evil motherfucker right here. I got tired of it really loving fast. Like after the last time it happened my eyes rolled out of my skull into orbit and I just gave up the series right there.

Bancholillymon is still a boss though. Wish she'd actually show up in something outside of the cards.

edit: Although to be fair to Adventure the ending battle truly was an equal experience for everybody. That was a bomb rear end ending.

Question: Mimi, great character or greatest?

One thing I do vaguely recall about the Digimon shows is that when they moved on to new seasons, time actually progressed and the old characters showed up as young adults. I thought that was neat cause I compared it directly with Pokemon where everyone seems to be frozen in time.

The protagonists from the first series showed up slightly oldered in the second and the current series is about the original protagonists as young adults but most seasons of the show are pretty disconnected.

Nah man it was bad, like the base idea is okay but even in the fist few episodes when the other kids got their digimon transformations it still ended up with one of the two main characters actually saving the day. Adventure and 02 may have made some more important than others but at least when one of the lesser digimon got a new form they actually got to be the hero.

I'd like to train an Abomasnow, but is it worth the effort to obtain a Soundproof Snover or should I just go with a regular Snow Warning one? It'll be mega evolving.

Snow Warning is Abomasnow's entire selling point. With both its normal and mega forms having Snow Warning, you have two opportunities to nullify the opponents weather. Not having hail up means Abomasnow can't use blizzard with perfect accuracy either.

Just finished the Grass gym in my X nuzlocke run, let's take a look at the damage:

Dead:
Solrock - Lost to a random at the Battle Maison
Charmeleon - Couldn't run away from a Wild Milktank using rollout
Chatot - Same Milktank. Seriously no idea how this cow is preventing us fleeing
Meowstic - Herd of Tauros


Caught a Luvdisc, overprepared for the Rock gym and floored him, Wonder traded the Lucdisc for a Whimsur who I love.
Got a Snubull and she evolved and she's the best. Never thought Granbull was so good.
Caught a Mr Mime, beat the Fighting Gym and wonder traded him out for a Zigzagoon who's holding the HMs now.
The Lucario & Lapras I was given got wonder traded away for a Poochyena and Croagunk.
Caught a Slowpoke and I love him.
Also got a Nidoran and evolved her up to a Nidoqueen and she's wrecking poo poo.

Serena is the worst Rival.
