Confirmed, 13th and final Royal Knight, Jiesumon. I hope you like swords:
looks pretty badass. I do like swords, but it's a bit much. I'm liking the fireballs though.
Where was this confirmed btw?
Also, after watching the first two episodes of Adventure 1 in JPN i've come to the following conclusions.
1. The Japanese version is overall more consistent than the ENG dub, good voicework and an awesome soundtrack.
2. The ENG dub had way better attack names. I mean come on Nova Blast is way cooler than Mega Flame. Can't forget about that Boom Bubble Pop either.

I can't really say for sure how well it holds up because I might have nostalgia goggles on. I still think it's pretty good.
also there are currently 6 series spanning around an average of 50 - 60 episodes each, and a handful of movies.
edit: sorry for the double post :x

Digimon is divided into self-contained seasons (except for Adventure).
Adventure was the first season and definitely holds up, imo. It starts a bit slow but the Vamdemon arc is great television..
Adventure 02 follows after Adventure and doesn't hold up as well, but it's still fun. Also has V-mon, which is one of the best digimon ever.
Then, the other seasons, in order:
- Tamers (This season and Adventure are my favorite.)
- Frontier (Some people hate this one because of humans turning into Digimon, but I think it has the best mythology of the series.)
- Savers (Main guy punches Digimon. Awesome, lol.)
- Xros Wars (Haven't watched all of it, so I can't give an opinion.)

This Digimon is so adorable!
I'd say so. Though to be fair, I haven't watched that much of the Pokemon anime (and don't really plan to). But I know for certain from what I've watched that good, fairly straight-brow topics raised in Digimon aren't touched nearly as much in the Pokemon anime which strictly favors more standard "child-friendly" plots. I've heard the Pokemon manga is very different in this regard, but I wouldn't know.
As for games, I agree as well. However, I haven't played Digimon World 1 and Rumble Arena which are the ones I see praised most often and a number of the fighting games in general (including the Wonderswan and Japanese-only titles).
I've played World 2, World 3, World 4 and Dawn/Dusk. My favorite of them is Digimon World 2, but all of these games had notable design flaws that kept them from being very solid games worth a recommendation (usually involving a poor/extensively grinding methods of reaching Digivolutions or using random battles to deliberately heavily pad your very lengthy trek from Point A to Point B just to return to Point A). Pokemon has had its weak titles, but almost none of them have had quite the issues I've seen in these titles.
Here's to hoping Cyber Sleuth turns out awesome though because it looks great!
Aye, I've never been huge on sword legs on any design, but the lance fireballs look neat!

Terriermon is the cutest of them all
that's the one! cooler than Air Blast or w/e
I didn't even notice this until you pointed it out. Looks a little weird, but I'm a fan of the overall design.

The thing is Sora technically isn't the original implied love interest of Tai:
That'll be Rei Saiba from V-Tamers, a manga series that predated Adventure. So basically she's got seniority over Sora in the shipping department. A bit of a shame that no one's seems to have heard of this series, not even in Japan it seems. It's an ok book, maybe not as good as Adventure or Tamers but it's enjoyable.
In any event, screwing over canon just to bend over for the shippers isn't the way to go. They want to Matt & Sora to be a couple, actually show them as such. Show us WHY they belong together. More than anything, I was frustrated at how half-assed the writing started to get in later 02: the relationship came out of nowhere & gets no focus. As a viewer I felt like I was prohibited from seeing what the characters I watched all through the 1st season were really up to in the 2nd. When that Christmas episode came along all I was thinking was "what the hell did I miss this whole season?" Hell, the PSP game based on Adventure tried to do more with them than the anime ever did.
Of course the real ship to address is TK/Kari. They're gonna be what, 14/15 in the new series? Dem hormones are gonna be acting up real soon.
I didn't care much for the core cast (too much of carbon copies of past casts) but the show really started to piss me off with the Royal Knights arc. Pretty much the same episode repeated like 10 times. & then there's the brilliant idea of having 2 3rds of the team just straight up give up their powers so the leads can be literally the only ones allowed to do anything ever. Fucking dumb.
All right I think I'm finally going to start watching the original Japanese Adventure sub. I think I've watched Adventure through 5 times before but never watched the sub for some reason. I'm kind of excited because by this point I know the dub so well that I'll be able to compare it to the sub without much thought.
Also if anyone doesn't think that Terriermon is the best Digimon then you're wrong.
My favorite Terriermon moment:

Eh. I don't care much for a manga character that has no appearance in the series. The movies(not by the creator I know) gave an interest in Tai/Sora and gave a way better reason to enjoy them. I think they should retcon quite a few things from 02 and I don't think pandering to the shippers is a big deal. 02's "everyone gets digimon" was the biggest load of bull I've ever seen and is my first biggest wish for a retcon.
As I said, they won't but I'm never going to be interested in Matt/Sora because they were too forced and horribly developed.
Now I wouldn't mind TK/Kairi but I think the only romance pushed was Davis liking her and him just being jealous of TK's friendship with her. I wouldn't mind either couple happening but that terrible 02 ending needs to be gone for either to happen.

Yep, biggest issue I had with it. Something I feel that doesn't get enough love is the non partner Digimon in Savers. Mercurimon and Craniummon are better than any others in the series. Only other Digimon I feel that comes close is Wizardmon in 01.

I agree, sometimes it felt like it was trying hard to capture the spirit of Adventure, but failing to get it right. The best parts of the season were the original ideas..
And yeah, while most Digimon seasons heavily favor the main duo, Frontier took this to the absolute extreme.
Then you got Izumi, who is arguably the worst digi-girl. Brings everything down a notch.

I've never seen the Royal Knights, so this is all new to me. Thanks for the info.
In other news, I just finished Our World Game. That was really good! Loved it.

Yo they need to kick out LordKnightmon from the Royal Knights and add someone better.
Also Dukemon should be in his X form. Which is much cooler.

Sad that Savers is shorter than every other season and there's not enough time for every Royal Knight to have more of a role.

Also #11 would actually be Dracomon and not Guilmon although technically most Digimons can digivolve into other Evolution lines.

looks awesome, I guess we can expect the Royal Knights to play a big role?
so gooooood
I said "arguably"...yes.
yusss. I really loved the song they played in the english dub here. I don't know what music played in the original but I bet it was great too.
It's sad that Savers was shorter because it was so good ;-;
edit: What's up with Purple Patamon? Also it's interesting how Veemon gets 2 slots in the Royal Knights. Probably cuz he's so cool.
Ahhhh thanks
Revenge of Diaboromon.
Oh huh. It looked just like him.

For the fellows that are watching the sub for the first time, I think the biggest difference you will notice is that the original takes itself a little more seriously than the dub. Also, please note that Koushiro (Izzy) speaks in extremely polite Japanese, even to his parents, Takeru, Hikari and the Digimon. However that way of speaking is often looked as a way of speaking to an acquaintance, not close friends. Keep that in mind as you are watching the show cause it makes you understand his character and growth through out it.
Edit: I have never seen Wolfmon's child form before. Thats awesome.

Thanks. Also, Veemon evolves into Veedramon, so does Botamon.
All the Royal knights are mega level digimon too, no? With the exception of Magnamon, who's mega level in all but name.
And I'll keep that in mind about Izzy
edit: anyone else think Magnamon's design is a bit lacking compared to the other knights?
edit2: I never realized before, but so many of the Digidestined wear gloves. Takeru and Sora wear hats. Aren't they supposed to be at summer camp? Who decided on that design lol.

So more brownie points for Shoutmon not being a royal knight yet still kicking ass!
(Yeah he draws power from OmegaInForce but drawing power =/= being a knight!)

ah i see
I also think Magnamon looks cool, and his attacks are great, his design is just a lot simpler than the others. I don't think he's any less powerful though.

I think OmegaShoutmon is cool, but his face just looks weird to me :/ He should have kept his snout or something.

I like Magnamon's design, no shame in having some simplicity.
I also feel bad for laughing at the part where (same part in i-hate-u's previously posted video)
when first watching that part. He just reacts so quickly to it!

I haven't seen a lot of it, but from what I have it's interesting. Shoutmon only evolves by fusing with other digimon, with the exception of OmegaShoutmon, but I don't know if other digimon can evolve normally

Huh? He still has the dragon snout. It's not like the case of Magnamon who is supposed to be a tall Veemon wearing armor (read: bikini armor) but his head looks smooshed from the helmet.
Only super evolve (because they "transcend time" to evolve, as in OmegaShoutmon is Shoutmon's form in the far, far future) and it's in the second half of Xros Wars, and even then they still use Xrosing.
And yes I said second half, I consider Young Hunters not part of that!
There's Greymon too. Those are the two that super evolve.

idk he looks fine in the art, but in the show itself his face looks flat
maybe it's just the armor under his chin is jutting out too far. /shrug

Yeah. Despite being better than 02, it really shows that it's a post script season made to fill time while TOEI waits for Saint Seiya Omega.
It's probably the perspective/angle in his stock footage transformation.
