That Agumon is tiny. Is it just me, or Toei has always had size consistency issues with Agumon?
Yep, he looks really small. He also seems to have the movie build too. Longer neck, hanging arms, etc.

According to teh internetz, Agumon from Adventure is about 3ft tall.This is still the main thread right?

@Croc, nice collection.
Therefore, we can assume Tai is almost 9ft tall.
Taichi giant confirmed for Adventure 3.

With all this "evolve" talk, I'm guessing Digimon Adventure Evolved or something like that.

It wasn't a complete waste. We now know Tai is 8 ft tall and wakes up every morning.
His hair adds an extra foot or two

So, it's Tai with his iconic hair and apparently in his high school uniform.

I've started my Tamers watch and it's off to a really solid start thus far. The characters have been introduced nicely and going off his introduction with Renamon alone, I think I'm going to really like Impmon. Hell, his march is my favorite part about the opening as well.
I also appreciate how cards directly add variety to a Digimon's moveset. In turn we aren't purely stuck with the same 2 to 3 moves for the main cast's Digimon ad nauseam as with the first and second season. I hope this trend continues strongly. I'm expecting it would as it seems to be the core of the combat style in Tamers.
Also, that Kyubimon evolution:
Ruki and Renamon are too good.
If I were to have a complaint it would go back to the animation that has displayed oddly few highs throughout (not including the stock evolution animations which are great thus far). I mean, as a longer series as with the rest, I know the budget is dialed back a (lot) bit. But I still would like to see some more well-animated moves in this season compared to the last two. I'm only on the 6th episode, so still plenty to see.

Man, some of the later episodes have amazing animations for the attacks when they decided to not use the stock scenes for them.
I finished Tamers yesterday. I really enjoyed it's version of the digital warudo, the evolutions were great(except the transition from galgomon to rapidmon with that hilariously terrible CGI(even worse than the first 2 seasons imo)). Characters were more developed than the previous games and it tried to tackle more mature themes with some degree of success. My only disappointment is the main antagonist, very uncharismatic, everything else story wise was great and <3 Culumon.
Also was I the only one who thought Culumon would Jogress evolve with Impmon at some point or evolve at all(The first time I saw justimon, I was like,, Is this culumonximpmon?? I even thought Culumon would become Juri's new partner by the end
which one's are bad?
Episodes like 15, 29 and 37 are some of the worst in the series imo. Same artist group for all 3 episodes. The quality difference between 29 and 30 is night and day.
Hmm looks like I'll have to check it out. I'm curious tosee how bad they are in comparison.
I could easily see the epilogue getting the "DMC2" treatment. After all, it takes place so far enough in the future, that it barely matters in the grand scheme of things. To me, the main thing that would need to be addressed is if the whole Oprah-esque "YOU GET A DIGIMON! AND YOU GET A DIGIMON!" has been rescinded. If everybody has a Digimon, it makes the "Chosen" less special.
But yeah, count me on in the notion of at least having Ken and Daisuke around. As I said on a prior page, 02 was practically Ken's story. It really wouldn't make a lot of sense for him to just taper off after all the revelations about him were let lose, including having a Crest, implying that he should have been hanging around with Taichi's group from the jump.

I also felt cheated on the teaser message

I mean, 02 was fun, but the whole World Tour arc really felt like they jumped the shark :/ If the odd person like Michael showed up, then that's fine, but everyone around the world? It did make for a lot of questions, like why Miyako out of all the kids that watched the Infermon/Diablomon fight became one of the true chosen? Well I mean, one that actually mattered?
Only 3?? Guilmon and Renamon plz!
Yeah. I mean they tried to take the angle of "did you see a Digimon" plot point too far for its own good.
I mean, even Daisuke, Miyako and Iori were all relative nobodies that just happened to see Digimon in action...along with several hundred, possibly thousands of others during Vamdemon's attack, along. There was nothing else that really painted them as being any more special, at least compared to the likes of Taichi's crew or even Ryo/Ken.
But eh, that's just one of many things about 02 that I wished they did a better job actually explaining.

I know it's probably going to be bad... but I want it.
I will prove MetalGarurumon is best OG Digimon!
It's a shame that they stuck the newbies in an awkward position for a new installment.
Miyako and Iori need Hikari and Takeru, but not the other way around (unless the lack of crest thing is still a problem). And Ken's lack of crest freshness is the only reason Daisuke's still relevant. (Well that and Imperialdramon is a BAMF)
Just seems to make them more useless and poorly integrated in hindsight.

On Tamers,
why would your geeky friends ostracize you for owning a real Digimon? I'd like to think that'd be pretty freaking awesome if I saw it myself.
Mixture of jealousy and fear.

I suppose that makes sense. When you've spent so long taking the representation seriously (or card game here), reality would dwarf it all rather suddenly.

Impmon-chan so tsun~
I'll always chuckle at the fact the main reason Daisuke even remained somewhat relevant was because he was both the main supporting character for Ken and V-mon, alike. If they actually took the time to give him some of the character development he got in some of the side-materials (like the radio dramas), he would have been a much better realized character in the anime!
Anyway, as far as the Crests are concerned? Adventure basically said that the original Chosen didn't "need" the physical Crests anymore, anyway. It was only the fact that they somehow "gave" up the ability to summon that Crest's power within themselves (for some stupid reason) so that they could free the 4 Holy Beasts from their imprisonment.
For whatever reason, the writers seemed to forget that didn't include Ken. Whether the physical Crest had to be used in order to prevent the meltdown at his old base, or not, there's nothing that says that he couldn't eventually do what the original Chosen did and be able to use its power without the need of the actual trinket itself. (And if we count the "Path to Armor Evolution" radio drama, Ken was eventually able to do other things with it, by making the Crest turn into the Digimental of Kindness when he needed a quick-fix to help Wormmon evolve.)
If I had it my way? The Original Chosen + Ken would eventually regain their ability to use their Crest powers again so that they can Super Evolve under their own power again, while Daisuke and the other two wouldn't need their Jogress partners to assume those stages, again (which is feasible, at least according to media like the card games). Or I suppose V-mon could always evolve into Alforce V-dramon, instead...
The one thing that could make things interesting for this new series, is if instead of so much of retreading old ground, it does more to help Taichi and his crew remember who they are and how to re-define themselves in this new era where they're a bit more grown up. Most of Adventure was spent with these crazy kids trying to "find themselves" when they were around 11 years old. You have to imagine that most of them would likely have to do that all over again, by the time they're in High School...
Ken should be involved in this series for sure, but as a partner to Ryo, not Daisuke.
I am not sure. I think there will be something completely new for this series. Something to require the return of the original kids, and not the lame trio. I also think evolutions will be different this time. Crest limitation will likely be gone.
The Digimon anime take a lot of cues from the mangas and videogames. That is why I honestly think that elements V-tamer 01 (which wasn't represented much in anime) could be the inspiration for the show.

Pffft, teenagers have it all figured out. They don't need any development. =P
Also, it appears my friend has digivolved her digimon. Since I am bored and some might be interested:
I've tried to record battles several times for posterity, but it seems that video recorders hate this game *shrug*.
Ryo is likely just fine in the Tamers-verse or wherever else he might be hanging out with Millenniumon...I mean Cyberdramon, by now.
After the way the Chosen and Holy Beasts did him dirty in D-1 Tamer, I'd be surprised if Ryo would ever want to do see Taichi and co. again.
Though, the way Ken apparently holds on to the hope that he'll see Ryo again some day at the end of that game, maybe we should at least have the chance for the two to see each other again.
Bah, I say!
But if nothing else, I'd say the rising boom of the likes of Persona and other popular High School manga/anime/games would only give rise to the notion that there's plenty of untapped potential for them to utilize for an anime season.
I mean, otherwise...I can't imagine there would be much of an interesting story, if all the characters are indeed perfect and there's nothing more for them to develop on.

I hope Toei has it in them, but I'm not expecting much *looks at Sailor Moon reboot*. I'm just going to pray for good animation and HerakleKabuterimon...

The first film was a pilot of sorts for the Adventure series, and I think the director intentionally had the designs modified to better emphasise the "fish out of the water" scenario with Agumon. (And visually harmonise with the heavy 'Bolero' song)
It's just a shame the American dub had to cut out the warming scene of present-day Tai hugging Greymon. Lot of people misinterpret the Agumon of that film being a separate individual.

Are you sure it's not more up to speculation? Or was there dialogue that confirmed that they met at a previous time?

Break the Egg 2: Electric Etemon Bugaloo
A number of Japanese sources back up the notion that it was not the same Agumon that Taichi would later call his partner. And I think even the Adventure dub got this part correct when it came to the episode that gave a quick run-back detailing the truth about the "Incident at Hikarigaoka (Highton View Terrace)".
But, Koromon always said that its as if he knew Taichi for a long time. It could go either way.
A million clicks is too much
Paper Sparrow

Truly, this time, it will be worth the clicks. I must know how Tai studies for his exams.
I always took that to imply the whole "destined bond" angle being in play. Koromon, much like the other 6 who weren't separated, grew up with the idea that there was practically no other reason for their existence besides meeting and protecting their eventual human partners.
I mean, even
