This section covers the franchise as a whole. For WMGs specific to a work, go to the following:
Anime
- Digimon Adventure
- Digimon Adventure 02
- Digimon Tamers
- Digimon Frontier
- Digimon Data Squad
- Digimon Fusion
- Digimon Adventure tri.
- Digimon Universe: App Monsters
- Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna
- Digimon Adventure: (2020)
- Digimon Ghost Game
- Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning
- Um no you turn into a Digiegg and are reborn.
- Unless your world is Tamers...
- Or Unless Izzy was right during the Etemon arc.(Anyone else remember Tai's Heroic BSOD?)
- No, in Adventure humans turn into butterflies.
- No, that's just because he was still in the dream dimension.
- I assume that you're trying to say is, "Since there are no humanoid Digimon, except Gennai and certain Digimon, a dead human is reincarnated into the closest Digimon that the Digital World has available as a Digitama and subsequently experiences a full Digimon life cycle." I would suspect that Gennai and humanoid Digimon put a bit of a hole in that guess. I bet that the type depends more on personality than anything else.
- That would make sense why Agumon had his memories, but Biyomon [Who was Krissy's UNOFFICAL Digimon] lost his memories.
Royal Knights
An aquatic digimon and a marine digimon for the final two, if that can fit into their pseudo knights of the round table scheme.- It would be nice if the Bearmon/Kumamon line got a Royal Knight for two reasons: Kotemon has Rhodonite/RhodoKnight/LordKnight/LoadKnight/Crusadermon so Bearmon seems left out after the Frontier movie and Bearmon is the only Digimon World 3 cover "mascot" to not have a Royal Knight.
- There already is a beast royal knight so maybe not. There are two dragons too but it is unlikely for Bearmon still since he's been around so long without one.
- Bearmon's evolution line goes to Marsmon of the Olympus XII, so it's unlikely that he'll also have a form in the Royal Knights.
- Jossed now that Jesmon completed the group (another Dragon/Holy Royal Knight, this time with Three Musketeers and... Jesus? inspiration)
Big Death Stars
A seventh member since they are based on Japan's days of the week but there are only six of them. This one will have no level just like the others and be based on the sun. It will have a planet killing ability to counter the Earth member's ability to destroy stars.- Knowing this franchise's love for increasing ridiculousness, the next member of the Big Death Stars won't have an ability that counters the Earth members but an ability so good it totally eclipses his.
- Would love to see this come true, actually. The group needs a Sun member to replace Apollomon
Bancho
Four more Digimon with the title.- Confirmed. There is now a Bancho-lilimon, a Bancho-stingmon, a Bancho-mamemon and a Bancho-golemon.
Chaosmon
The six remaining will not look like Omnimon- Chaosmon: Valdur Arm looks has the same sort of design with the addition of wings. But the final form of Ultimatechaosmon does looks very different.
Legendary Warriors
Advanced hybrid forms for the four elements lacking them and for the corrupted warriors of darkness. Rookies for the eight elements lacking them.- Yes, please!
Olympus Twelve
Six more members based on the Roman Pantheon, seeing as there only six right now.- Two more have been introduced, based on Vulcan and Venus, moving the total number up to eight. Minervamon also has an evolved form that's a little closer to the figure she's named after. The next four will probably be released in pairs as well and two others will get an evolved form between each release.
- There are other digimon how are based off of other mytholgy figures Shinegreymon is spoused to be Orion and simler things to myth happend in the digiworld Shinegreymon and Dianamon fall in love Apollomon get protective big brother and atack Shinegreymon after a long battle Shinegreymon loses and Apollomon killes him.
- Following Vulcanusmon and Venusmon, we have now gotten two more in Ceresmon and Jupitermon. Plutomon has also been added, but he doesn't take a position and is instead their equivalent. Curiously though, these three were introduced separately rather then in pairs like Apollomon/Dianamon and Venusmon/Vulcanusmon, instead being spread out over the course of a few months.
- The final two are Bacchusmon and Junomon. Jupitermon and Junomon also have Super-ultimate forms with Jupitermon: Wrath mode and Junomon: Hysteric mode.
Seven Great Demon Lords and Super Demon Lords
A new Super Demon Lord based on a beast from the Book of Revelation, because Belphemon Sleepmode can't be a Super Demon lord when it's the lower form of a regular one.- Go to Digimon Wikia. Look up Ogoudomon. Super Demon Lord indeed - he's verging on invincible!
- Adding to that, maybe several Dittos (or a Mew using transform) escaped into the digital realm by transforming into Porygons. Once there they branched out and re-evolved. Considering the ability of all Digimon to quickly evolve and de-volve one can consider Di-evolution a mutation of the Transform ability.
- Well, we've always wondered how Angemon (and then Angewomon, and then Kazemon) manage to see with the visors covering their eyes. What if the visors were some kind of heavenly mystical vision... things... and without them they'd be blind (if indeed their programs include eyes beneath the visors at all! ...Well, Angewomon's evolution scene seems to depict some, and a recent card of Ophanimon showed her without her helmet...) And of course if anyone else where to look through them, they'd see Things Man Was Not Meant to Know and go crazy (or Crazy Is Cool.) Or just whimper in a fetal position for a few days but eventually mostly get over it...
- Seeing as how Angewomon has visible blue eyes in Tailmon/Gatomon's evolution sequence, I doubt that this is true. They are probably just there as vision enhancers, (confirmed in Silphymon's case: his "Head Mount Display" is used for targeting enemies) if not simply a unique design element (like the belts you see on many digimon).
- This, bizarrely enough, makes even more sense when you remember Agumon saying there hadn't been any humans before the Adventure cast. This is because the Frontier crew weren't completely human for the majority of the series. They even had a Story Arc exploring how they considered themselves Digimon, and as a result felt they had a bigger stake in defeating the Big Bad. The Digital World has forgotten large chunks of history before; who's to say a technicalty like 'Oh yeah, there were Digi-destined who could turn into Digimon' warped into 'Oh yeah, there were Digi-destined who were Digimon'?
- The last point was pre-Jossed by all of the Chosen's partners being born at the same time together on File Island, sans Tailmon.
- The only problem with this is that technology is more advanced in Frontier than in the first two seasons, what with every 11 year old walking around with cell phones, while the kids of the first series don't have any and thought the digivices were beepers. Otherwise, I really really like this theory.
- The Digital World itself can explain that: time functions oddly and inconsistantly within it. It's possible the Frontier kids came from their era and ended up in the Digital World's past, and the Digimon Adventure kids left their era (which is the past relative to Frontier) and entered the Digital World after a great length of time had passed inside it, but not outside it. Other than the 02 finale stating everyone gets Digimon, it is entirely possible when you consider the inconsist way time works in the Digital World.
- Jossed because a flashback in Now Apocalymon shows the silhouette of the 5 original kids and their 5 Digimon partners
- Unjossed - the silhouettes look EXACTLY like Tai and the others, and merely because the writers did not have time to draw different characters for one scene. It's called Executive Meddling. Another thing to remember here is that the Adventure Digimon have commented that humans look all the same to them. Besides, the entire Digital world was wiped out by the end of Frontier. It has been shown that digimon only retain SOME of their memories when re-going through life, so they probably wouldn't remember the digidestined, only that there WERE other digidestined. I question how the human world thing works with 02's ending though.
- Explaining 02's ending is easy: that's just Takeru writing his book. (Remember Hikari's wish at the end of 02 was that everyone would have a digimon partner) Since it was wrote in Frontier's past, I actually doubt any of the Frontier kids read it, so they wouldn't know what a digimon is.
- Still completely and utterly jossed by the fact that the original kids had Digimon partners (even if the animators were just lazy and recycled the sheet models for Tai and co the idea is still there that those kid had Digimon partners) and there's no way in hell that the Patamon/Seraphimon in Frontier was the same one as the one in Adventure. Poyomon was born with the other baby Digimon (aside from Tailom) it wouldn't have time to go all the way to Seraphimon. Then there's the fact that Frontier takes place in then present day of 2002 and Adventure takes place in then present day 1999. So yeah nothing supports any of this.
So, my theory is - everyone in the series can use Digisoul. The only ones who are aware that it actually exists are the Savers cast, mostly thanks to none other than Suguru Daimon, who discovered it, mastered it, and started being the *** out of Mega-levels with his bare fists. In the other series, digisoul is still used subconsciously for the early levels, but later levels require actual mastery of Digisoul, so the additional items/methods are required.
- The method used in D-Cyber seems similar enough to support this theory but it becomes questionable when reading Next. After the main character first uses Digisoul, Agumon changes from the Digimon Adventure' design to the Digimon Savers design.
- Or Agumon's form change is the result of proper use of Digisoul, rather than subconscious. So why did Saver's Agumon already start giant and wristband wearing? Well he was born in DATS where people were maybe using it around his egg.
- Headcanon. ACQUIRED.
- Adding to this, Izzy's real parents were killed by an evil Digimon with a grudge against them. The car crash was either a lie Izzy's adoptive parents made up or the crash was caused by the Digimon.
- The last game featuring Ryou has him hopping between different Digital Worlds, 'borrowing' the partners of the different heroes in order to make up his character party. The end of the game has him leaving his native Adventure world for the Tamers world...
- He even shows up in the V-Tamer manga.
- Word of God says no, Adventure is not the Tamers TV Show.
- Actually, Konaka's character notes says it is, or that the Adventure TV show aired in their universe.
- Not possible. Zero Two ends with EVERYONE having their own Digimon. Tamers, Digimon is a franchise, and most people just assume its a card game.
- Nope It's the same Ryo, at the end of Brave Tamer Ryo get's to choose between the adventure verse and the tamer verse, he chooses the tamer verse, possibly because of the whole d-1 tournament thing from the last game. So this is the Canon outcome. The adventure and tamer verse's have nothing to do with each other, even that 'adventure was a tv show' thing was added by the dub.
- According to Konaka's character notes, the 'Adventure was a TV show' thing actually happened. Look at the timeline on the site.
- Can't happen, Word of God says the TV show watched in Tamers is not Adventure 02.
- According to Konaka's character notes, Adventure aired in the Tamer's universe.
- Most of episode 53 of Digimon Adventure takes place with the characters floating in a white void while recycled animation plays with new voiceovers. Sound Familiar?
- Seraphimon, Ophanimon and Cherubimon where Alphamon's students.
- Dynasmon and LordKnightmon were corrupted by Lucemon.
- The REAL royal knight's has his real form sealed in some kind of weapon or artifact, as seen with Gallantmon.
- The REAL seven demon king's has his real form sleepde at effect of Alphamon's seal.
- Frontier's Lucemon is the REAL Lucemon
- Impmon/Belzemon of Tamer's the REAL Belzemon, butredempted.
- This Troper lold at this comment before he went mad from the implications that ensued. He considered for a moment a Mega Crossover of Pokémon, Digimon, TRON themes and The Matrix. At least he hopes so...
- V-Tamer 01 and The Wonder Swan games already had crossovers so it would not be impossible, if crisis crossovers happened they'd each have to be involved in at least one.
- Confirmed in the final arc of Xros Wars, though many fans thought that the crossover was a bit disappointing. Here's hoping for another one.
- Then, care to explain how Monodramon became Ryo's partner, after Jogressing with the bodiless ZeedMillenniummon
- What is there to explain? He's not as much a part of the composite monster as everything else is. If you mean why he keeps the same rookie form? Millenniummon, due to inconsistencies that arose thanks to TOEI and Bandai's poor editing, breaks the rules of jogress already just by existing (unless you take the Xros Wars manga, where he was created by a Digi-Xros instead). The higher a level Monodramon evolves to, the more violent he gets, the closer to Millenniummon he gets, so it makes about as much sense as the rest of the Wonder Swan game plot after Adventure 02 screwed it up.
- No, I mean 'explain how Devimon and not Millenniummon was Ryo's partner when the Devimon data was shed with the rest of his body in Tag Tamers and Monodramon still became his partner from the Brave Tamer Jogress'. And 02 wasn't screwed up by the Wonderswan Series, it was a mutual and consentual bout of continuity screwing by both Canons...
- Tamers - Evidently South and North-split digital world from Ebonwonmon and Zhuquiomon's appearance, most likely all takes place in the North side - this digital world is currently in 6 layers.
-After the final battle, the sovereigns are power drained from fighting so long, and Azulongmon and Baihumon go back to their world. HOWEVER...
- X-evolutionYggdrasil defeats and seals away the sovereigns in their weakened state, and unleashes hell with the X-virus. - he merges the layers in 2 sets of 3, leaving 3 merged layers.But somehow...
-The two digital worlds become temporarily merged after the end of X-evolution, the digital world becoming whole for once, and the normal digimon begin hunting down the x-digimon, whom generally go into hiding, for unknown reasons, leading to:
- Xros Wars - The world is in turmoil, and the battles have lead to the digital world being split into 108 pieces until all digimon can come under one leader, what better time for bad guys unleash evil plans? Baguramon begins to take over this world. Also, due to the unstable nature of the combined digital world, digivolution has become nigh-impossible, and the power of digixrossing is turned to as a substitute. After the events of this series, the digital world becomes 2 separate worlds again, with the sovereigns now only sealed away due to some kind of a power-down lock done by Baguramon and the fact that the world has forgotten them.
- Data Squad/Savers - In the meantime of Xros Wars, Hypnos' work has lead to the rise of DATS, whom we KNOW to have memory-erasers, need I say more about why humans don't remember a certain rampaging red blob? It's only years after Xros Wars that the human crew gained technology to go to the digital world, and started exploring the E-W world, starting point at West.
- Adventure - E-W world, starting point at East. Quite a bit of technology went haywire and shut down due to the events of Data Squad, leading to digital equipment becoming rare until it it is back in mass-production. The 7 child heroes traverse across the digital world, the crests power is digivolving-made-easy technology recently developed, and the partner digimon, as test subjects, would have, had all gone to plan, have been able to digivolve freely on their own using the crests.
- Adventure 02 - The sovereigns were released from being sealed away, due to the crest power being redirected to them. The 02 story happened exactly as we saw it, however, I'm going to take a guess and say that the ending wasn't the real one.
- Frontier - Few years after 02, no-one knows about digital world apart from the digidestined and a few others. The Frontier team goes to the N-S world, which was most affected by Xros Wars.
Questions anyone?
- Not saying that the theory isn't workable, but there are several problems with it, namely the shear amount of times entire worlds have forgotten things, especially the D-Reaper (no seriously, how would Dats delete the memories of billions of people? The D-Reaper was a planet wide menace. 2º, even if somehow technology did regress, how would you explain the year going back and forwards? (Note that reference to dates are scattered through all seasons, even in the english version). In conclusion, you would be hard pressed to successfully join all the real worlds into one (note that only some digital and/or digital worlds are compatible). And that is without counting with the different ways each universe works.
- Hell, most universe's canon directly contradicts each other's canon. In the Adventure series, Frontier and Savers, it's never stated where the digital world came from, only that it exists alongside the human world. In Tamers, it was created by a bunch of college students and eventually made into a popular franchise for kids. In Xros Wars, Wisemon tells Taiki that the digital world has actually existed longer than the human world, and humanity has only recently accessed a small part of it. So yeah, most seasons are mutually exclusive to each other.
- Jossed by the facts that (A) the Digimon series are set in alternate realities. Also, the 'quadrants' are a fanon name for the north/south/west/east sections of the Adventureverse DW. AFAIK, no Digital World in this theory has sufficiently Alien Geometries to only have two of these compass directions.
Yes, this is a serious WMG. You could also compare it to the division of the universe into sectors in Green Lantern. But each universe (individual anime, manga, games, etc) is a different slice/sector, meeting precisely in the middle (which is where Huanglongmon has been patiently waiting to make his appearance ever since the series began). And each individual slice of this confectionary masterpiece has it's own delicious layers, as Izzy showed us back during 02. So characters like Ryo, who cross over into other universes, are going through either the middle or jumping into the next universe over, while the Dark Ocean in 02 and the Zones in Xros Wars are merely more delicious layers stuffed between the human and digital world crusts.
Which is why some digimon can hop through digital worlds; they just have to go back in time to before a reboot(or forward to after one).
- Masaru: You want reality Mercurimon? Reality is: You are a digimon. I AM A MAN!
During Adventure, Zoe begins writing a pilot to a show based on her adventures in the Digital World. Later, she goes on a vacation to Hawaii with her family, and meets Mimi there. The two discover their shared experience, and Mimi helps Zoe write Digimon, which later gets published, and the Digimon Tamers kids become big fans of it. After Adventure, the time of the Digital and real worlds become synced up. In the time between Adventure and 02, Digimon Data Squad and Tamers happen. DATS is actually just a branch of Hypnos, and as such, they aren't told the full story of the Digital World. The reason why Digimon die in Tamers but not anywhere else is because the Digimon bio-emerging in Takato's area are from a part of the Digital World that is very, very far from the Village where digieggs show up, so most of the Digimon there don't actually know that they get reconfigured, and thus grew the ability to absorb the data before it disappears. The Tamers and Savers stories never cross over because they happen at very different parts of the Digital World, and their climactic arcs are both on such a large scale that they overshadow each other. In other words, Takato doesn't notice the Digital World crashing because he's focusing on the D-Reaper, and Marcus doesn't notice the D-Reaper because he's focusing on the Digital World crashing.
The events of Tamers & Savers are what allowed the Adventure kids to go back to the Digiworld to give up their crests, and also what allowed Tai to be in the Digiworld at the start of the first episode of Digimon Adventure 02. Tamers and Savers happened while the Adventure kids were in the Digital World returning their crests, and when they returned to the real world, the events of both had been covered up as a crazy movie stunt or terrorist attack or something (Like the first Adventure movie), and so Tai and the others were oblivious. The widespread acceptance of Digimon at the very end of Savers is not due to King Drasil; it's because of Myotismon.
Between the 02 epilogue and Xros Wars, the Digimo Data Squad movie happens (Older Than They Look is in full effect here). Basically, that movie tells the tale of the apocalypse. Argomon successfully killed just about everyone. Marcus and the other Digimon returned came to the real world to try and stop him, but they were too late, and in a moment of mourning, Marcus was tied up like Thomas and Yoshi. Marcus and Agumon eventually destroy Argomon, but the damage has already been done. The world is over. DATS spends its remaining days looking for survivors, but to no avail.
But there were survivors! Grouped together, the last people decide that the Digital World was the cause of all this trouble, and agree to forget about it. And thus, when Digimon Fusion rolls around, all is forgotten. Nobody knows for sure anymore whether the Digital or real world came first, so many just guess. The various cameo appearances of past Digidestined is the work of the Time-traveling boat guy.
Ryo is not a dimension-hopping badass, he's actually just been brainwashed by Millenniummon, and so he thinks he's changed dimensions. Taichi from V-Tamer 01 is actually just a clone of Taishi from Adventure. Any apparent cross-overs with 02 or Frontier on his part is actually a hallucination caused by the degradation of his brain due to the advanced internal aging of clones(or maybe he's just a cousin who got his clothing from the same sources).
The Digimon World is a specific paradise meant to be free of human interference, which is why V-Tamer Taichi's encounters with Davis and Ryo appeared to be crossovers, it is hard to enter the place without inside help. Parallelmon wasn't passing through parallel worlds, it was opening up wormholes, gathering energy to travel to parallel worlds! Babamon brought Taichi and Takuya to Witchelny(another Bandai V-pet Wizardmon is from). Parallelmon's reckless wormhole use caused a time paradox that let Taichi meet Davis and the paradox was fixed when Parallelmon was destroyed but the fix took time, long enough for Taichi to meet Ryo. Babamon was able to call heroes from different Digital World eras because Witchelny is magical.
The Adventure Digivice is based off of the Digivice 01, it was an attempt to enhance the up link feature by causing a permanent psychic link between a human and a Digimon. While this failed, the designers saw strong emotions between partners using it accelerated the evolution process, so they decided not to throw it out. The D3 is obviously the third in the line, created in dark ocean to store certain files(Digimentals, Control Spires) and also to broadcast to multiple partners(suppressing evolution, triggering Jogresses, the latter feature lost in the first Digivice 01 "upgrade"). Meanwhile, the D-arc used in Tamers is when they finally got that psychic link working, explaining why Takato can do what he does. They also added a card swipe feature because the crest powers proved to not be as reliable as originally envisioned while Biomerging is the ultimate purpose of the psychic link.
Lord Whamon made the Digivice 01 of course and the Diginomes, the larval forms of Gennai's people, are the ones responsible for all the "upgrades" of dubious quality. The Digivice ic was an individual effort by Spencer Damon and the D-tector from Frontier is a case of Older Than They Think. Yggdrasil is a title given to "Queen Bee" Diginomes. Norun from Next and that thing at the end of Savers are further evidence of Gennai people being an intermediate stages in the species(like Digimon 'de-evolve'). The Yggdrasil of X-Evolution, D-Cyber and Savers are a line of successors while Next Yggdrasil is from a different colony. The X Antibody Digimon resulted from the arbitrator program and as it was designed to keep Yggdrasil(s) in check and emerged in response to (a)Yggdrasil's attempts to wipe them out.
Cmon Digimon takes place right before V-Tamer 01, "ancient types" are not as old as people think. Chronicles, and the non Ryo games can probably be ignored as in-universe merchandise or extensions of the show they were based on.
- I thought of a way to put in the non-Ryo games in. The original Digimon World takes place in the very early days of the Digital World (that's why there are so few sapient Digimon, and only 7 species of humanoid ones (3 of which are recolors), and no mega digimon bar Machinedramon, who's the last boss in the game), and Milleniumon is infact the Machinedramon who served as the final boss of the game. Digimon World 2 is set just before Digimon Frontier, and the characters are freedom fighters working against Lucemon. Digimon World 3 is set between 02 and Tamers. The DS games are after Savers.
- Rather than go through all of this I'd just like to point out that the third movie can't possibly be canon because Angewomon appears and the kids gave up the power for their Digimon to fully digivolve between season 1 and 2. Also Patamon and Gatomon becoming Seraphimon and Magnadramon, something they were never able to do in the series and never did again even in the dream world where it would make perfect sense to do it.
- Given this modes would be command line options for example Gallantmon Crimson Mode is actually Gallant.mon -Crimson.
- If this were true, then it would also explain why the Digimon must call out the names of their attacks. For example, Angemon's "Hand of Fate" is either a separate program that is being run, or a method within their program that is being executed.
- Note that even in digimon adventure (but especially in Tamers) didn't have to call their attacks (the dub actually added some screams that weren't originally to make everything consistent), they did it as more of a Kiai type of scream than anything.
- Dukemon's helmet is based on Guilmon, and therefore probably not intended to be fishlike. And while I can see AlforceVeedramon being Capricorn because of the horns, what about Alphamon, Magnamon, and Craniummon?
- Craniummon is definitely Cancer. Hard shell, sharp defence weapon.
- No. Beelzemon and Leviamon are both based on demons that traditionally embody gluttony and envy, respectively, and they have been consistently portrayed as embodying that sin (Beelzemon with the devouring all the data, and Leviamon with being formed from a girl who was envious of what the rich Barbamon girl had).
- In their original, pre-Belphemon profile, Leviamon was, to all the effects, merely Cthulhu with a mouth in the place of tentacles and he remembers a crocodile. Beelzemon remembers a member of a Hell Angels gang with Hair-Trigger Temper, have dark red eyes and have a extra mode that can used to the good(traditionally- in a lot of old texts, only the anger sin have a positive variation- off course, said variation is not actually a sin, but...)
- Beelzemon is oftean stated to be honerble as well so he might have bine meet to become a digimon how was not a demon lord but the enbodyment of revenge.
- In their original, pre-Belphemon profile, Leviamon was, to all the effects, merely Cthulhu with a mouth in the place of tentacles and he remembers a crocodile. Beelzemon remembers a member of a Hell Angels gang with Hair-Trigger Temper, have dark red eyes and have a extra mode that can used to the good(traditionally- in a lot of old texts, only the anger sin have a positive variation- off course, said variation is not actually a sin, but...)
- The first form, being Lucemon Adult, is still Vaccine, and is assigned a leader of a small-scaled location. However, because of his pride, he wanted to rule bigger and got corrupted and mode-change into falldown mode.
- One question: What reason
- So many spelling errors... Digital reproduction doesn't work that way.
- It possibly could in Xros wars but even that would be a stretch.
- Alternatively, a Digimon who sucker-punched Plutomon to death and absorbed its data can become Gallantmon.
- Jossed: it's called Jesumon
- Pokemon takes place where the barrier between digital world and real world collapse, thus both world are melded into one.
- The pokemon is originally, a data, thus can be stored into PC (or pokeball). It also explained how TM and HM are taught using disk. They are simply adding more data to the pokemon.
- The digital world is never in any danger (as opposed to other multiverse) thus human and monster coexist peacefully, and there are never any need of having a digivice.
- Thus the monster can only evolved naturally to its child form. Baby I > Baby II > child.
- The mega evolution is just an evolution to adult stage. Same with digimon series, this happened when a human bonds with digimon during the battle. It is just discovered really late (in sixth gen) because the human takes longer to bond with pokemon without a digivice.
- Alternatively, the catastrophe in digital world happened long, long ago, which erased most of the monsters saved for the legendary. Arceus was responsible in creating the world - the digital world, that is - and the same catastrophe resulted in digital world and real world melded into one. The chosen children and digivice (if there were any) are long forgotten, but the tradition is still survive in which all pokemon trainers are children/teenager.
- The same catastrophe also dumbed down the surviving monster in that they are only capable to speak in pokemon language, not human language. Alternatively, it could be they simply never learned.
- The monster adapted to the real world and become more like biological creature.
- DNA evolution worked differently in this universe, resulted in an egg that contained both parents data while the parents still remained as an individual. The pokemon day care didn't lie when they said they have no idea where the egg came from. This also explained the ridiculous pairing in the same egg type - they never actually had sex.
- Each digimon multiverse had diferent rules regarding death. Since the monster here are adapted into real world like a biological creature, it is possible they are simply dead like other beings.
- It's a dragon-man type called Saviourhackmon.
- The googlehead's digimon will be a demon dragon and a serious case of Dark Is Not Evil, perhaps he'll be an Expy of Guilmon design wise and Impmon personality wise.
- A return to Henshin Hero like Digimon Frontier, except only the protagonist will become a senshi-mon and he will be powered-up by his own partner digimon as well as his allies'.
- Rookie/Child levels and below transform into an equipable weapon.
- Champion/Adult levels provide a proper level-up.
- Ultimate/Perfect level provide not only a stronger power-up, but also a better weapon.
- Z-hybrid form combines the main hero with all partner digimon.
- There will be a second senshi-mon, but it's not the lancer. It's a full-time human villain/antagonist.
- The partner digimon have a shared motif where Rookie/Child > Champion/Adult > Ultimate/Perfect are Household Pets > Stock Badass Animals > Mythological Creatures
- Formerly a Virtual Pet device, digivices are now collectible items.
- Each digivice showcases an Adult Digimon with a choice of three Perfect-level Digimon to digivolve into.
- A batch of heroic Digimon in tribute to other Toei franchises
- Kicking-oriented Locust (Child) > Grasshopper (Adult) in tribute to the Kamen Rider series.
- A robotic mon for Metal Heroes.
- A wand (Child) >> Magical Girl (Perfect) for the genre in general, perhaps taking design cues from Pretty Cure.
- Sixth Ranger could instead take inspiration from western heroes like from DC or Marvel.
- For a homage to Super Sentai, everyone's Mega/Ultimate form and combine together to form an Ultra/Super Ultimate just like a Megazord.
- A gimmick where the partner Digimon has an alternate Adult level being in the form of a weapon for its human partner to use. Ultimate/Perfect level conjoins the two Adult forms, while Mega/Ultimate fuses both the humand and Digimon partners together just like Tamers.
- A Digimon Universe spin-off taking place in South America (or at least a Hispanic-dominated place in America). As a portal to the Digital World opens, the Program X virus enters through the real world and starts affecting people. A small percentage starts developing X-Antibody on their own and gains superpower in the process. They are known as...LantinX.
- A Digimon Universe crossover, where Digimon are set up as enemies to fight heroes from other franchises.
It's undeniable that some Digimon are based off Kaijus/Seijins in the Ultra series, but let's say, some humanoid Digimon are actually Ultramen in disguise. An Ultraman can take a normal Digimon and fuse together, becoming a humanoid Digimon.
- Regarding humans turning into Digimon (as in Biomerge/Matrix Evolution in Tamers and Spirit Evolution in Frontier, among others), a Digimon can have power to merge with humans or take on human forms, just like an Ultraman. Perhaps Digimon are from the same universe as Ultraman, or the entire Ultra series?
Following the footsteps of Kamen Rider Amazons, Toei may make a new Amazon Prime-exclusive Digimon entry aimed exclusive at adults. Darker and Edgier (and possibly Bloodier and Gorier) than Tamers, maybe a prequel to Applimonsters.
- Digimon Universe: App Monsters: The Origin Saga, perhaps?
- Panbachimon: Data, Child/Rookie
- DarkVolumon: Virus, Adult/Champion (DarkVolumon is to Ballistamon as Tuwarmon is to Damemon, it's really more of a mode change than a true evolution)
- GrandGeneramon: Virus, Ultimate/Mega
- Armamon: Virus, Perfect/Ultimate
- Batterymon: Data, Child/Rookie
- At some point, the Appmon Chip Reference Book will become defunct, and get folded into the main Digimon Reference Book. From there, the Appmon will be integrated similarly to the Xros Wars Digimon, being assigned levels and attributes that fit with the wider Digimon canon.
- Appmon will remain exactly the same, but retconned into being artificial Digimon (akin to Gizumon, Eosmon, or Vemmon). They will still use AppGattai instead of traditional evolution because of technical limitations, and will be slightly weaker than real Digimon.
