* So this came to me while reading the "complaint", for lack of a better word, on the Transformation Name Announcement page for Digimon, specifically that the Digimon say/shout/"call out" the name of the form they are digivolving into. I remember that the formula was [Current form] (any special sub-set) digivolves to: [New Form]. What recently struck me is how similar this looks to computer code (in an object-oriented programming language, such as what the Digital World could be programmed in). Digivolution would be a method called on objects, i.e. the Digimon, and the new form is listed as a parameter of the method. Thus the "phrase" is necessary to digivolve, because they are actually reshaping their (digital) reality. 
* Originally, the movies were about introducing new concepts to the Series. So, by that theory, Digimon Adventure (the first movie, which appeared before the series proper) introduced the idea of children caring for a monster, and having said monster protecting them from another, thus introduced digimon adventure. Our War Game introduced DNA evolution and children getting digimon from watching them, as well as acessing '''a''' digital world through a computer. Revenge of Diablomon introduced angel like, immenselly powerful enemies and NGE Imagery (Omegamon sans arms, anyone?). Runaway locomon introduced... train digimon? Naturally, this ends with Frontier, because there isn't any series in the following year, and doesn't aply to future seasons.

[[folder:Tamers]]
* DigimonTamers is ''made'' of this trope; but there is a specific comment for episode 44 that stands out [[spoiler:"... T-The way it goes all red here (in the train scene during Takato's confession) I can't stop thinking that this is us seeing the J-Reaper sending a live feed back to the D-Reaper. Fffffuuuuuuuuu D: And now it's listing off chemical compounds the reaper can use to keep Jeri alive while she's in there ... O-oh god I'm creeping myself out."]]
** In Tamers there is something called "matrix evolution". It's either a reference to a sci-fi movie orto the matrixes in mathematics, especially considering that by combining two matrixes one obtains the so called "matrix identity".
*** One use of matrixes is in physics, namely to model electronic clouds (in short, atoms and molecules). To have such a name associated with a process to convert a digital model to a real molecular structure would be quite a coincidence.
** The shows' title as well as the [[ShowWithinAShow show that the children watched]] - for an explanation when the children in this series got their d-arcs they immediately refer to themselves as "Tamers", now as anyone who has actually played the games or owned the V-pets could tell you "Tamer" is the word they use to refer the child who partners with a digimon in the manuals of the V-pets, and what they also refer to the human player character as in the games. Now consider the theme of this series as well as how Jenrya and Ruki met their Digimon.
** Why didn't the kids try the digivolution cards earlier? [[spoiler: Mid way through the series, the kids try slashing "super evolution" cards; they digivolve, but only to adult. It stands to reason that they had tried before but it didn't work; after digivolving a few times, they were pretty confident that it would work; it is heavily implied that the cards work because of the kids slashing them (thus Juri/Jeri not doing anything to Guilmon despite using Takato's D-Arc), and only Takato would still have the cards with him.]]
*** Finally, note that the tamers don't have a direct control over digivolution unless they use the cards, unlike the the Digidestined/Chosen Children.
** Why were there some digimon in the city, if the Tamers were killing them? [[spoiler: Before they're deleted by Shaggai/Juggernaut, the Tamers had agreed on fighting those that needed to be fought, rather than because they're sopposed to. So, they spared those that weren´t violent.]]
** In the Tamer's movie Battle of Adventurer's, how could some digimon be so easily defeated? [[spoiler: as our war game showed us, digimon copies are more fragile than real digimon (which is why only the real Diaboromon/Diablomon survived), likely due to lacking something (a digicore?), but still having it's innate abilities.]]
** In the aforementioned movie, Guilmon uses a fireball underwater, this was odd, until I realised that the Tamer's digital world has no atmosphere. Thus, the fireball is not dependent on ''outside air''(there is none). Being a chemical fire, it burns until it consumes itself. This also made me realise that Digimon (at least in this season) don't breathe.
** When the Tamers Biomerge, they lose all their clothes, and are... missing something. Sure, probably just [[AnimeAnatomy Anime Anatomy]], right? Then in a later episode, Renamon says that digimon don't have genders. When the Tamers Biomerge, they become digimon themselves. There is no Anime Anatomy. What you see is exactly how they look throughout the time of the Biomerge. They've lost their genders, so there's no need to censor anything, because there's nothing there.
** Those who want another reference to a certain sci-fi movie, remember that the D-Reaper is an [[strike: antivirus]] data deletion program, and that it attacked humans and digimon; i.e, considered that they were inherently destructive. Now which villain from "The Matrix" said so specifically, like D-Reaper Agent 01? Bonus: Both resemble what they are trying to eliminate.
** "takatomon"? Guilmon's nickname for Takato early in the dub? extremely subtle foreshadowing for [[spoiler: matrix evolution.]] or maybe I'm reading too far into this. - bobofwoggle
** When Takato first had Guilmon digivolve into Wargrowlmon, we find out that his and Guilmon's [[PsychicLink Psychic Link]] has grown to the point where he can feel Guilmon's pain. Near the end of the series, it's established all the other Tamers who can [[spoiler: Matrix Evolve]] can also feel their partner digimon's pain. There has also been several instances with ALL of the Tamers that suggest that they all have some form of [[PsychicLink Psychic Link]] with their partner, only with differing degrees of strength. What do you think that means for Juri [[spoiler: whose partner was killed and [[TheAssimilator absorbed]] by Beelzemon? ]]
