!!General
* The episode "His Master's Voice" is loosely based on "Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth" by Lovecraft. In one scene where Kari walks past a sign, it spells Insumausu (Innsmouth) in Digicode. The "Scubamon" in the episode are based off the Deep Ones featured in the tale.

!!Specific
* ActingForTwo:
** In the original, Ken and his brother both are voiced by Creator/RomiPark, with episode 23 in particular focusing on both characters and Ken's past.
** Not the only example of a Chosen Child and their sibling(s): having the same seiyū: Miyako/Yolei and her sisters (Momoe and Chizuru) are all voiced by Creator/RioNatsuki.
** In the original Japanese version, Creator/MegumiUrawa voices both Iori/Cody and his partner Armadimon. This is the first, and to date only, time that a Chosen Child and their Digimon partner have been voiced by the same person. In the English dub, Cody is voiced by Creator/PhileceSampler, who also voices Mimi.
** In English, Creator/DerekStephenPrince does the voices of both Ken and Veemon. Prince also plays the Emperor that taunts the captured Digimon.
** Yolei's dub actress Tifanie Christun also voices Biyomon.
** In the Swedish dub, both Ken and Matt are voiced by Leo Hallerstam.
** In both the original Japanese and the Latin American dub, Mummymon, Belial Vamdemon and Yukio Oikawa all share the same voice actors. You need to listen very carefully to hear any resemblance between the three characters' voices.
* ActorSharedBackground: A mild/tangential example: according to the footnotes in the booklet for Digimon Adventure 02's DVD box, supposedly the reason for Ken and Miyako getting married in the finale is that their voice actresses (Creator/RomiPark and Creator/RioNatsuki) got along very well with each other.
* ExecutiveMeddling: Actually rampant during this series, such meddling included:
** The inclusion of Davis into the story and the decision to not make him develop as a character.
** The entire season owes its existence to this, as the head writer of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' didn't want to create a sequel.
** On the other side of the Pacific, dub writers and voice directors Jeff Nimoy and Bob Buchholz were instructed by Creator/FoxKids to make the series "funnier" which annoyed a lot of fans. Eventually Jeff and Bob left the show due to frustrations with Fox's demands. Fox Kids must have backed off afterward because the final eight episodes of the season and [[Anime/DigimonTamers the following season]] were noticeably less of a GagDub.
* {{Blooper}}: In the European Spanish dub, Arukenimon mentions a Creepymon, which in context sounds like she's making a CrypticBackgroundReference about some unknown character. In reality, Creepymon is the English localized name for Daemon, who is otherwise referred to by his original name in Spain. Chances are that the translators went back and forth between them and then missed an usage of Creepymon after settling on Daemon, which probably went unnoticed for the director because it ''looked'' like a CrypticBackgroundReference.
* CrossDressingVoices:
** Several of the male characters are voiced by female actors in both English and Japanese. In addition to Koushiro/Izzy and Patamon retaining their actors from the previous series, Iori/Cody is voiced by Megumi Urawa in Japanese and Creator/PhileceSampler in English.
** Several other male characters are voiced by women in Japan. In addition to Taichi, Agumon, Gabumon, and Gomamon retaining their actors, Daisuke is voiced by Creator/ReikoKiuchi, Ken is voiced by Creator/RomiPark, Junko Noda is voiced by Junko Noda (while Veemon and his evolutions has male actors in the dub, Chibomon is voiced by Creator/DinaSherman), and Armadimon is voiced by the aforementioned Megumi Urawa.
** In the English dub, Leafmon and Minomon are voiced by Creator/WendeeLee.
* FakeBrit: While not actually British, being a Digimon and all, Hawkmon has a British accent in the English dub, while his voice actor, Creator/NeilKaplan, is American.
* GodNeverSaidThat: A particularly widespread rumor in the fandom is that originally, the DistantFinale's couples would include T.K./Kari and Izzy/Mimi along with the canon Sora/Matt and Ken/Yolei. The fans who talked about this kept citing an alleged interview with someone who worked on the show, but no evidence of that interview has been found.
* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: [[spoiler: Oikawa's eleventh-hour partner Digimon, Datirimon,]] was named in a fan contest.
* TheOtherDarrin:
** Creator/DougErholtz replaced Creator/WendeeLee as T.K. in the dub, but this is justified due to T.K. now being 4 years older. In the Japanese version, Taisuke Yamamoto replaced Creator/HirokoKonishi after the latter retired from voice acting and subsequently became an {{Unperson}} to the series.
*** Doug also took over for [=SkullGreymon=] from Joey Camen, who voiced the infamous mon from his sole appearance in Season One. Weirdly, Camen did reprise his role of Mojyamon earlier in the series.
** Because Jeff Nimoy left the show due to ExecutiveMeddling, R. Martin Klein took over as Tentomon for the last few episodes. This also resulted in Creator/SteveBlum replacing the former's role as Gennai in the final episode. In addition, Izzy's father Masami was voiced for a single line in the latter episode by Frank Catalano instead of either Nimoy or Dan Lorge.
** In episode 43, Creator/BridgetHoffman filled in for Tifanie Christun as Yolei. In the same episode, for one line only, Wendee Lee doubled for Sora, who is mainly voiced by Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey.
** Anna Garduno, the voice of Palmon, was replaced towards the end of the series since Anna was commuting from New York by that time. Creator/PhileceSampler, the voice of Palmon's partner Mimi, voiced Palmon in episode 47; Creator/DorothyEliasFahn, who voiced Palmon's ultimate form Lillymon, took over as Palmon for episode 50; the finale of the series.
** Laura Summer voiced Noriko in her brief appearance at the end of episode 41, but Bridget Hoffman voiced her in all subsequent episodes.
*** Hiroshi was voiced by Creator/BrianneSiddall in episode 43 but is voiced in episode 50 by Doug Erholtz.
*** Takashi had it the worst with Wendee Lee voicing him in episodes 40 and 45, Doug Erholtz in episode 44, and finally Brianne Siddall in episodes 46, 47, and 50.
** In the Japanese version, [=BelialVamdemon=]/[=MaloMyotismon=] is voiced by Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa, rather than Creator/RyuzaburoOtomo who did Vamdemon in the first series.
** Creator/CristinaHernandez was replaced as both Gatomon and Kari by Tamara Guzman for the Mexican Spanish dub.
** In the Italian dub:
*** Monica Ward replaces Paola Majano as Matt, since the latter voice actress was also voicing Davis.
*** Stefano Billi replaces Creator/MassimilianoAlto as Tentomon.
*** [=MaloMyotismon=] is voiced by Gerolamo Alchieri, instead of Paolo Marchese like the original series's Myotismon.
* RefittedForSequel: By director Hiroyuki Kakudo's admission, the infamous epilogue was originally planned for the first series.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: During the Dutch broadcast of this anime, the Dutch Fox Kids had the rather strange policy of refusing to air episodes featuring snow or Christmas outside the respective season. Unfortunately, many important episodes, including the finale, take place during Christmas or snowy weather. This means the Dutch audience was unable to see how the series ended during its original run.
* TroubledProduction:
** According to this interview with [[http://digipedia.db-destiny.net/cast_crew/nimoy2.htm Jeff Nimoy]], the atmosphere working on the dub was also pretty stressful due to ExecutiveMeddling.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The original plan was for Daemon to be a BigBad, but it couldn't happen.
** In the English version, Jeff Nimoy did not want to combine the first three movies. Originally, he had drafted a script to combine the first two movies into a feature length film and release the first ''02'' movie straight to direct-to-video or as a tv special (with the older kids being kidnapped subplot and all the other major edits intact), but higher-ups at Fox forced him to combine them all to promote ''02'', resulting in a confusing mess and the ''02'' movie being hacked to bits.
** Early character design sketches in ''02'' showed a lot more alternate outfits Mimi would have, including one with a DreadlockRasta. Thankfully, some of them didn't make it into the final draft, and the most unfortunate we got was the one with an afro.
** Bandai had created 8 armor evolutions (for each crest) for each partner Digimon. There was a Digimental of Kindness that Wormmon could use to become Bucchiemon, though that did eventually appear in the audio drama ''The Unknown Armor Evolutions''.
** Ken was supposed to use the Crest of Kindness to evolve Stingmon naturally before it got dropped in favor of Jogress evolution.
** At some point the digimon would've digivolved with both their main digimentals instead of just one. Hints of this can be seen in Sagitarrimon's design, which is clearly based on Flamedramon for the upper body and Raidramon for the lower body and head. This idea was RefittedForSequel in ''Anime/DigimonFrontier''.
** Arukenimon was going to be Sasoribellamon, with a scorpion theme.
** Ken's name was originally going to be Ryo, but this was changed due to the Tag Tamers games' protagonist having the same name. He and his brother Osamu's names are respectively written as 賢 and 治, in a nod to then-current Creator/FujiTV producer Kenji Shimizu (賢治).
** Taichi and the rest of the original members were originally planned to be the main cast. Also, the producers had discussed the idea of Yamato breaking from the group completely and [[FaceHeelTurn joining the enemy side]].
** On the first version of Fox Kids' movie website, Willis' name was left as [[http://web.archive.org/web/20000823032527/http://www.foxkids.com:80/digimonmovie/ "Wallace."]] Updated versions replaced his name with [[http://web.archive.org/web/20001017145002/http://www.foxkids.com:80/tvshows/digimon/digimonmovie/characters/willis.html "Willis"]], seemingly indicating that the movie was initially going to keep his original name.
* WordOfGod:
** In the English dub, Sora and Matt's sudden dating. The dub clearly favored Tai/Sora with constant teasing (including giving Tai an unrequited crush on Sora) while Matt/Sora got the short end of the stick with Matt acting like a jerkass. Comments from the original writer of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' indicate his general distaste for the pairing of male and female leads and he'd originally meant for Yamato and Sora to have a much stronger bond and foreshadowing of their eventual marriage. That said, there was still enough wiggle room for legitimate dissent of opinion. The Japanese voice cast for Sora, Mimi, and Gabumon (!) indicated in personal comments their surprise when it turned out Sora and Yamato would become a new couple, with [[WordOfStPaul Sora's actress indicating she figured Sora could be more open and straightforward around Taichi]].
** Matt being an astronaut in the epilogue is actually a leftover plot thread from an idea abandoned in production -- a third year of ''Digimon Adventure'' was supposed to have [[http://jippy-kandi.tumblr.com/post/53629782203/digimon-adventure-02-epilogue-jobs-matt-sora enemies from space]], but it was never picked up and we got ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' instead.
