A trainer from New Bark Town in Johto, having picked Cyndaquil. Like Ash, he's eager to join up in a Pokemon League, however he ends up finding the tournament ain't open yet. So what is a HotBlooded trainer to do? How about deal with invading digimon that are conquering the whirl islands? Like the Pallet Town trainers, the trainers of New Bark Town received D-Spheres and crests of their own, Jimmy's being gold and the crest of Freedom.

He might have started his pokemon journey the same day as Jimmy, however Silver isn't from New Bark Town. Before the storyline, he was more of a {{Jerkass}}, TheRival to Jimmy as their views on training pokemon contrast with one another. However over time, Silver had TookALevelInKindness, managing to evolving his Golbat into a Crobat. Becomes of this changed, it might have been what allowed him to receive a silver D-Sphere and the crest of trust.

* MissingMom: Her mother goes on pokemon journeys a lot, so Lyra hardly sees her
* StrongButUnskilled: As she has a D-Sphere and Crest, she can digivolve her pokemon past their highest stages once unlocked early and can use whatever functions the D-Sphere has to offer. However unlike the other D-Sphere Holders, Lyra only has recently started her pokemon journey, she lacks the experience as a real trainer. Her pokemon are still at low levels.

One of the Sinnoh Dragon Trio, was locked up in the Distortion World along with the sealed evolution. Thanks to Butch and Cassidy, he was temporary set loose into Pokéarth, causing trouble for the heroes. It took the entire [=DigiDestined=] team, the Legendary Birds and the newly Stage-3 pokemon to cast him back into the Distortion World.

CastingAShadow: Giratina, in the same vein as the Gastly family (Has Ghost attacks with a Dark type feel to them). Hell, its signature move is even called Shadow Force. However it had no affect on Angemon, who not only detected him, but because of his Light Powers, was super effective against him
* DarkIsNotEvil: Giratina. A godlike Ghost-Dragon monstrosity that lurks in an alternate universe and can be seen floating near cemetaries. But, it's more aggressive than evil and only attacks when it feels its home dimension (IE: The Distortion World/Reverse World) is under threat.

* DiabolicalMastermind: The first in the {{Pokemon}} series.
* DishingOutDirt: As the Viridian Gym Leader, he specialize in Ground-types.
* TheDon: He's a leader of a mafia-like organization
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's quite polite and personable as he tells you that he's going to TakeOverTheWorld with Team Rocket, and if you oppose him he'll make you experience a world of pain.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Has been given the technology to make pseudo-digivices that digivolves organization's pokemon through the power of shadow, the super effective to all types (except for Digimon's light) from the PokemonColosseum series
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: He's quite wealthy

!!Datamon

ArchEnemy to Etemon from DigimonAdventure, brought BackFromTheDead by the Dark Masters to ensure the Digidestineds never return to their world. However he had plans of his own, and ForScience he hunted down the GS Ball from Ash to unlock its secret of the sealed evolution. Even though defeated, his influence still lingers as it was he hinted at the Sealed Evolution and encouraged Team Rocket to take part in unlocking it.
[[quoteright:297:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DatamonArtwork_3115.jpg]]

* ArcVillain: He can be seen as the BigBad of the Orange Islands arc
* AIIsACrapshoot: Originally a robotic digimon, but now he only exist as an A.I. programming since his original body has been destroyed. He can however take control of other machines.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: While he was revived to serve Machinedramon to battle the Digidestined, he had his own plans

* HumongousMecha: Despite being an ultimate, Datamon is WeakButSkilled. In order to fight Ash and his pokemon, Datamon created a mech to take command.
* UnwillingRoboticisation: Captures pokemon to turn them into robots
* WeakButSkilled: Datamon maybe an ultimate, but he's weak as a rookie. However he makes up for this with his high IQ.

!!Jesse, James & Meowth
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/teamrockettrio_1805.jpg]]
The main villains of the anime series, Jessie, James, and Meowth are always planning up a way to capture Ash's Pikachu, who they have deemed to be exceptionally special, strong, and worthy of giving as a gift to their boss, Giovanni. Originally, they usually worked as a stand-alone branch of Team Rocket. This even lead Giovanni to forget that they were members of the crime organization to begin with!

Because of the Mon Wars, they have taken an interest in Digimon, wanting to present them to their boss. Of course their tactics resort to their same old trap holes and giant mechs.

* AffablyEvil: Despite working for Team Rocket, they aren't as evil as other members. They can't even control the power of shadow.
* AntiVillain: They're not as evil, they truly love their pokemon and EvenEvilHasStandards.
* BackToBackBadasses: When reciting their mottos
* BreakingTheFourthWall: One of the few constant wall breakers
* CatchPhrase: Their intro speech ("Prepare for trouble! Make it double!...") and "Team Rocket's blasting off again!".
** [[CatchphraseSpoutingDuo Catchphrase Spouting Trio]]: Meowth's part maybe small, but it contributes
* CommutingOnABus/DemotedToExtra: With Ash and Pikachu being closely tied in plots helping the Digidestined fighting against their enemies, Team Rocket has made little appearances troubling the boy or his friends, being just recurring enemies rather than the constant villains as they were in the anime. However with Team Rocket gaining knowledge of Digivolution, the trio may get a bigger role as time goes by.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass / LetsGetDangerous: When they aren't being used for jokes, they are quite threatening.
* CustomUniform: Their original white uniforms were this. All other Team Rocket grunts wear black, but they wore white symbolizing how outlandish they were from the rest of the organization.
* DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster: They all ''love'' their jobs.
* {{Determinator}}s: No matter how many times they've been blasted off, they will never give up on trying to capture Pikachu.
* {{Drama Queen}}s: All three of them, seriously.
* {{Faceship}}: Their iconic Meowth hot-air balloon.
* FreudianExcuse: Jessie grew up in poverty while Meowth spent much of his life as a stray. While James in contrast was part of a well-off family, his parents were cruel to him and wanted to force him to get married.
* GenreSavvy: Despite their blundering, they do seem the most self aware of the show and its standard plot points. Some of their more competent moments also often come from anticipating the "twerps" and their Pokémon's usual retaliations. Hell, they are aware a lot of their plans would have gone on without a hitch if it weren't for them getting involved.
* HumongousMecha: They sometimes utilize ridiculous mecha robots to aid their nefarious deeds, though they are always destroyed by the plot's end, sending the trio blasting off.
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Team Rocket's motto that they recite in every episode.
* LightIsNotGood: Unlike most of the black outfitted members, they are the only ones ever dressed in white. Even Meowth's creamy-coloured fur references this trope.
* MadeOfIron: They actually credit their encounters with the protagonists and being blasted off to making them this.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: To test out the new digivices, Jesse and James were used as subjects by the rest of Team Rocket, namely Butch and Cassidy
* ShooOutTheClowns: Unlike how in "Best Wishes" they started to become serious and threatening (Prior to Decolora Adventures), the Team Rocket trio was DemotedToExtras when Ash and co. entered the Mon Wars. Although its still possible they'll be brought back into the spotlight once the Team Rocket organization gets more involved in the plot. So like Best Wishes, only with digimon being the PlotDevice and not an Unova pokemon.
* TerribleTrio: The iconic team!
* TrueCompanions: Have formed a strong bond with each other.
* ATwinkleInTheSky: ''"Looks like TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF [=AGAAAAaaaaiiiiinnn=]! [[AudibleGleam *Ding*]]''
* VitriolicBestBuds: They get snappy at each other on a daily basis but are close.

!!Cassidy and Butch

Two recurring agents of Team Rocket, Cassidy and Butch are far more competent than Jessie, James and Meowth and wear the tradition Team Rocket black uniform rather than the trio's white outfits. They were part of unleashing the sealed evolution, by breaking Giratina out of the Distortion World. They latter appeared, having used Jesse and James to test the Team Rocket's digivice on controlling shadow.

* AccidentalMisnaming: In a RunningGag, Butch is called the wrong name repeatedly - like Botch, Biff, Hutch, Bob and even [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]].
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: They were essentially versions of Jessie and James who were actually competent. Unlike Jesse and James, Butch and Cassidy were able to use the power of shadow with little problems.
* BreakingTheFourthWall
* ButtMonkey: Usually Butch.
* CardCarryingVillain: if their motto is anything to go by.
* CatchPhraseSpoutingDuo: An alternate version of the usual trio's motto.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Than the usual trio until ''Best Wishes''.
* HijackingCthulhu: Took control of the Legendary Birds!
* [[LargeHam Large Hams]]
* [[TheRival The Rivals]]: To Jessie, James and Meowth.
* TerribleTrio: Alongside their on-and-off TeamPet Raticate.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: They haven't been seen for a while now.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Butch.

[[folder:Mermaid Pirates]]
!!Mermaimon
Metal Seadramon's underling, a mermaid sea pirate who leads a crew of aquatic digimon. She was sent to Pokearth with her follows to ensure the Digidestined never returns to the Digital World or their own world, however ended up plotting her own goals. however, unlike Datamon, never tried to be TheStarscream but seek out goals to support her masters. They terrorized the Whirl Islands seeking Manaphy's egg, wanting his power to control all water pokemon, and merging the brainwashed become with humans like in PokemonReburst, would have been able to enslave humans too.

* FusionDance: Using the Burst Hearts from PokemonReburst, had an army of Water-Type Burst Warriors. Had a special one to use herself with a baby Lugia.
* PirateGirl: Captain of her own crew
* TheDragon: To Metal Seadramon
* TheRival: To Captain Hookmon
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Fear of frogs, hates it when they touch her. Captain Hookmon's Geckomon took advantage of that

!!Witchmon & Sorcerymon
Mermaimon's First and Second Mate, a spellcasting BrotherSisterTeam, both specialize in water magic.

* BlowYouAway: Witchmon
* BrotherSisterTeam: They're siblings
* {{Catfight}}: Witchmon... with MISTY!

* DarkChick: Witchmon
* EvilGenius: Sorcerymon
* IcePerson: Sorcerymon
* MakingASplash: Both
* TheRival: Its hinted that Witchmon is the one who got Wizardmon beat up and cast him into the desert before Gatomon found him.

Although its still possible they'll be brought back into the spotlight once the Team Rocket organization gets more involved in the plot. So like Best Wishes, only with digimon being the PlotDevice and not an Unova pokemon.
* TerribleTrio: The iconic team!
* TrueCompanions: Have formed a strong bond with each other.
* ATwinkleInTheSky: ''"Looks like TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF [=AGAAAAaaaaiiiiinnn=]! [[AudibleGleam *Ding*]]''
* VitriolicBestBuds: They get snappy at each other on a daily basis but are close.

!!Cassidy and Butch

Two recurring agents of Team Rocket, Cassidy and Butch are far more competent than Jessie, James and Meowth and wear the tradition Team Rocket black uniform rather than the trio's white outfits. They were part of unleashing the sealed evolution, by breaking Giratina out of the Distortion World. They latter appeared, having used Jesse and James to test the Team Rocket's digivice on controlling shadow.

* AccidentalMisnaming: In a RunningGag, Butch is called the wrong name repeatedly - like Botch, Biff, Hutch, Bob and even [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]].
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: They were essentially versions of Jessie and James who were actually competent. Unlike Jesse and James, Butch and Cassidy were able to use the power of shadow with little problems.
* BreakingTheFourthWall
* ButtMonkey: Usually Butch.
* CardCarryingVillain: if their motto is anything to go by.
* CatchPhraseSpoutingDuo: An alternate version of the usual trio's motto.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Than the usual trio until ''Best Wishes''.
* HijackingCthulhu: Took control of the Legendary Birds!
* [[LargeHam Large Hams]]
* [[TheRival The Rivals]]: To Jessie, James and Meowth.
* TerribleTrio: Alongside their on-and-off TeamPet Raticate.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: They haven't been seen for a while now.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Butch.

They terrorized the Whirl Islands seeking Manaphy's egg, wanting his power to control all water pokemon, and merging the brainwashed become with humans like in PokemonReburst, would have been able to enslave humans too.

[[folder:Dark Masters]]

!!! [=MetalSeadramon=]

[[quoteright:199:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/metalseadramon_6110.jpg]]

The first Dark Master, he rules over the aquatic portions of Spiral Mountain. A hothead eager to prove himself, he's a cyborg sea serpent with gold plating, and an energy cannon affixed to his snout. He is Mermaimon's master, and with her spellcasting follows, intends to enslave water pokemon and turn humans into his private Burst Warrior slaves.

* BadBoss: Notably averted, as he's about the only BigBad in the first series not to be one. So long as you do your job right he's actually a pretty good boss. Yeah, he killed Scorpiomon, but only after he failed him rather severely, and was very willing to reward him with his favorite food for doing his job correctly. That said, he's pretty short-tempered and impatient at best, so he's still pretty evil.
* BiggerBad: To Mermaimon prior to his appearance
* BreathWeapon[=/=]PlayingWithFire: Unlike other Seadramon, he breathes fire instead of ice.
* TheBrute: Not TheEvilGenius or TheDragon within the Dark Master's group
* ChromeChampion: He's made out of metal
* {{Cyborg}}: "No matter, wherever those kids try to hide, I'll find them. I rule this ocean with an iron hand, iron tail, and an iron everything, for that matter."

* LeeroyJenkins: He prefers not to play with his food, just cook it.
* LightIsNotGood: So far, he's the only purely villainous main antagonist whose attribute has been Data, a type usually attributed to good Digimon.
* NighInvulnerable: "What was that, a love tap? I'm made of Chrome Digizoid too, you know! You can't hurt me that easily!"
* TheNoseKnows: "Do you smell something? There's the scent of [=DigiDestined=] in the current. Either that, or there's a bad patch of seaweed around here..."
* OnlySaneMan: Out of the BigBadEnsemble of [[MonsterClown Piedmon]], [[PsychopathicManchild Puppetmon]], [[RoboticPsychopath Machinedramon]], and himself, he seems to be the only one who isn't a sadistic psychopath.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent" He is a "dramon"
* PitifulWorms: Namely towards his underlings and opponents
* PragmaticVillainy: He's a pretty much a BenevolentBoss as long as you do your job right

[[quoteright:164:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/puppetmon_7043.jpg]]

The second Dark Master, he rules over the woodlands of Spiral Mountain. A creepy living marionette, he has the personality of a spoiled brat, and an explosive temper. Is plotting with Petermon in manipulating children to leave their homes and come to Never Never Land.

* AxCrazy
* BadBoss: A VERY bad boss indeed, having a habit of killing off henchmen for ''fun''.
* BattleBoomerang: He uses his cross as one to kill

* KickTheDog: Being the nasty little kid he is, he loves to do this.
* KubrickStare: Has a natural one caused by his hat

!!! Machinedramon

[[quoteright:201:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/machinedramon_1460.jpg]]

The third Dark Master, he rules over the industrial areas of Spiral Mountain. Initially appearing to be just a mindless mechanical monstrosity, he turns out to be highly intelligent, and as cruel as he is efficient. Datamon was one of his minions and while the robotic digimon became TheStarscream, Machinedramon's empire is using Datamon's technology to continue turning pokemon into robots.
* AxCrazy: Despite his CreepyMonotone voice, he's no less unstable and insane than Puppetmon and Piedmon and some of his lines outright state he enjoys what he does. He also sometimes gets a little carried away. During the final battle with him, he started firing randomly in all directions despite the fact he'd already knocked out the Digimon attacking him, leveling a large part of the city.
--> "Oh good, just what I was looking for - victims."
* BadBoss: He constantly belittles his lackeys
* TheBerserker: Once he starts shooting, its really hard for him to stop.

* CreepyMonotone: Speaks very quietly despite his size.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: He doesn't care about playing around with the [=DigiDestined=].
* DeadpanSnarker: Good lord! One of the biggest snarkers in the show. It frequently happens when his minions act stupid and considering that he's the least talkative of the Dark Masters, that's speaking ''volumes.''

* EvilGenius
* EvilLaugh: It's very creepy.
* EvilSoundsDeep: And raspy.
* FamousLastWords: "Now I will finish you once and for all."

* WaveMotionGun: "[[CreepyMonotone Giga Cannon]]."

!!! Piedmon

[[quoteright:179:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/piedmon_8138.jpg]]

The final Dark Master and the leader of the quartet, he rules over the rest of Spiral Mountain, which consists of portions of the Digital World corrupted and rendered barren by darkness. A clown with vast magical abilities, his demeanor is not too dissimilar SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker.

* AGlassOfChianti

* BarrierWarrior
* BewareTheSillyOnes
* BigBad: The last of the Dark Masters Arc, and also the strongest Dark Master.

!!Taichi "Tai" Kamiya

[[quoteright:220:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/72035OaFTlVKz_2762.png]]

Tai is the first season's leader, and bearer of the Crest of Courage. He's a reckless blockhead at times, willing to jump into anything, and this gets him into serious trouble when he gets the idea in his head that, since the Digital World is digital, he can't be killed. The realization that this isn't the case freezes him right in his tracks, and when he overcomes it, he makes the proper jump from "not afraid" to "courageous." Despite his recklessness, he's a warm, encouraging guy, very friendly, and the team just doesn't work without him.

It was because Tai picked the Agumon card in this timeline that open the rifts to pokearth, and Tai feels responsible for bringing such chaos to another world.

* AnimeHair: One of anime's famous examples
* BerserkButton: Upon learning Myotismon's army set up a bounty on Kari, Tai charged out to Saffron seeking her out.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He'll go crazy when Kari is in danger. She's also the only one who convince him everyone needed rest after fighting Venom Myotismon then go after the Dark Masters
* BigEater: When the Pokemon Center allowed them free food for being heroes, boy did Tai and Agumon took advantage of this!
* TheHero: Of the {{Digimon}} side
* GogglesDoNothing: The progenitor of this trend, by proxy of Digimon V-Tamer 01.
* FearlessFool: Willing to charge into battle with little thought.
* FigureItOutYourself: Just like in the anime, when Tai asked Piximon how to bet the Dark Masters, the little pixie just replied him with this.
* {{Hotblooded}}: Why else is his digimon fiery?
* HeroicBSOD: Upon his arrival into a Pokemon Center, he is reminded of hospitals. Fans who remember a certain episode during the Machinedramon mini-arc will recall why.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Holds the burden for starting the Mon Wars.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Matt's blue.
* ShonenHair: Even more apparent nowadays without his goggle-strap-reinforced headband to hold it up.
* TheAtoner: Feels responsible for bringing in the digimon to Pokearth, as he choose the wrong card

!!Agumon

[[quoteright:204:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/agumon_5007.jpg]]

Tai's Digimon partner, who resembles an orange baby Tyrannosaurus. Like most, he has a personality similar to his Digidestined partner, if a little less hot-headed.

His digivolutions are as follows:
** '''In-Training''': Koromon(Normal-type)
** '''Rookie''': Agumon (Fire-type)
** '''Champion''': Greymon (Fire-type)

* {{Dracolich}}: [=SkullGreymon=]
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs
* FierySalamander
* FlashStep: [=WarGreymon=] can do these.
* ForMassiveDamage: [=WarGreymon's=] Dramon Destroyer claws are highly effective at...well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin destroying Dramon]] type Digimon.
* HeroicBuild: [=WarGreymon=].

* KillItWithFire: A huge assortment of BreathWeapon attacks, like Agumon's Pepper Breath and Greymon and onward's Nova Blast. [=WarGreymon=] uses this in the vein of KiAttacks.
* LightningBruiser: [=WarGreymon=].

!!Yamato "Matt" Ishida

[[quoteright:88:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Digi_Matt2_4124.jpg]]

Matt wants everyone to think he's a brooding bad boy, but he's actually rather sensitive. He has issues trusting people (himself most of all), and he's very overprotective of his younger brother, TK. This causes him to be very cautious (although not as cautious as Joe), which results in a lot of clashes with the get-out-and-go Tai. Despite (or perhaps thanks to) all this, his crest is Friendship.
* AloofBigBrother: Has difficulty trying to be a big brother
* AntiHero: Type II.
* BigBrotherInstinct: While he struggles to be a big brother, he'll always rush to T.K.'s side
* DeathGlare: Don't piss him off, or one will get this
* HairOfGold: Very blonde hair
* HairTriggerTemper: Boy does Tai ever stresses him out, and if not him, there's the evil digimon
* IneffectualLoner: Tends to be by himself a lot
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Can be this way at times.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Tai's red
* TheLancer: While Tai is TheHero, Matt is TheLancer
* ThePowerOfFriendship: His crest

!!Gabumon

[[quoteright:163:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gabumon_1920.jpg]]

Matt's partner, a horned yellow reptile-like Digimon who, rather oddly, appears to wear a skin of white fur rather than having a natural coat. Something of a milder {{Foil}} to Matt, he often criticizes his selfish moments but sticks by him regardless.


His digivolutions are as follows:
** '''In-Training''': Tsunomon (Normal-type)
** '''Rookie''': Gabumon (Fire/Ice-type)
** '''Champion''': Garurumon (Ice-type)
** '''Ultimate''': [=WereGarurumon=] (Ice/Fighting-type)
** '''Mega''': [=MetalGarurumon=] (Ice/Steel-type)

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: His pelt
* {{Adorkable}}: Gabumon has his moments, like comparing Tai and Matt to ice cream flavors.
* AnIcePerson: Specially his final form.
* CanisMajor: Garurumon is bigger than most automobiles.
* {{Cyborg}}: [=MetalGarurumon=] is a smaller, cyborg version of Garurumon
* DontLookAtMe: He doesn't like to be seen without his pelt.
* FurAgainstFang: When he goes one-on-one with Myotismon, it seems to invoke this trope. Unfortunately for him the fang half seems to be far more powerful...
* KiAttacks: [=WereGarurumon's=] Wolf Claw and Garuru Kick can be used in this fashion to give him ranged attacks
* {{Lunacy}}: [=WereGarurumon=] possesses an attack that consists in a kick which unleashes a moon-shaped shockwave.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: [=MetalGarurumon=]
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Would follow Matt, even if it put him at odds with the other Digidestined.
* NiceGuy: Gabumon
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: [=WereGarurumon=], who looks like a furry punk in leather. Also a [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] BishonenLine.
* SpikesOfDoom
* TechnicolorFire: His BreathWeapon as both Gabumon and Garurumon.
* TooManyBelts: As [=WereGarurumon=].
* UndyingLoyalty: He is a canine, after all.
* WallCrawl: [=WereGarurumon=] practices this with impressive speed.

!!Sora Takenouchi

[[quoteright:409:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sora_-_Image_6.jpg]]

The group's mother figure, and owner of the Crest of Love. Sora is a sweet girl, but doesn't really see that aspect of herself very well. She spends most of her time mediating fights between Tai and Matt, and keeping the group in line. She doesn't always have the patience for it, but she tries anyway.
* ActionGirl: Digimon's earliest example
* CoolBigSis: When not the TeamMom, she can be said to be the big sister of the group
* TheHeart: Its her crest's symbol!
* MeaningfulName: "Sora" is Japanese for "sky." Guess who has the bird Digimon?
* NiceHat: Oddly, it's a helmet sometimes
* ParentalAbandonment: Mom is emotionally distant and Dad is a workaholic.
* ThePowerOfLove: Her Crest.
* RedheadedHeroine: She has flaming-red hair and is more active than your average Chick.
* SleevesAreForWimps: Her shirt has no sleeves
* TeamMom: When not being the CoolBigSis
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Mimi's Girly Girl.
* YamatoNadeshiko: What her Education Mama, who is one already, wants her to be. Later, though, they make amends.

!!Biyomon (Piyomon)

[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/biyomon_8790.jpg]]

Sora's pink-feathered bird-like partner, who often causes her some angst with her loyalty and gentleness. More than a bit hyper.

Her digivolutions are as follows:
** '''In-Training''': Yokomon (Normal-type)
** '''Rookie''': Biyomon (Fire/Flying-type)
** '''Champion''': Birdramon (Fire/Flying-type)
** '''Ultimate''': Garudamon (Fire/Flying-type)

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: She wears a ring around her leg
* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: Garudamon.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: [[CallingYourAttacks Spiral Twister!]]
* GenkiGirl
* GiantFlyer: When evolved. It's worth noting that of all the final forms of the protagnists' Digimon, Garudamon is tied with [=MegaKabuterimon=] as the largest of the lot.
* LoveFreak: At least when it comes to Sora.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Birdramon, who is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a cross between a bird and a dragon]].
* NoisyNature: As Birdramon, she's prone to letting out a loud avian shriek.
* NonmammalianHair: Garudamon has long (valkyrie?) braids but is otherwise clearly a bird-mon.
* ThePhoenix
* PlayingWithFire: Biyomon, Birdramon, and Garudamon all have fire based attacks as their main weapons.
* PollyWantsAMicrophone
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Not as obvious as with Izzy, but you'll notice her speech patterns are more antiquated than the other Digimon.
* TechnicolorFire: Her Spiral Twister attack.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Pink? Check. Jewelry? Check. Hair like structure? Check. Long blonde hair, in Garudamon's case? Check. Yeah, she's a girl.
* WindIsGreen: Her "Spiral Twister" ability, which basically looks like a flaming green hurricane.'

!!Koushirou "Izzy" Izumi

[[quoteright:406:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Koushiro_-_Image_3327.jpg]]

Basically, Izzy is the one who can actually think his way out of a paper bag, which is only supported by his Crest of Knowledge. He's very curious and logical, and somewhat unsure of himself socially. He carries around a laptop computer, and his reactions to various problems are nearly always a variation on "If I learn enough, I can fix it."

His biological parents died when he was very young, and his father's cousins adopted him, having recently lost a child of their own. They kept this a secret from him, but he accidentally heard them talking about it, and was devastated. After this, Izzy sank himself into his computer as an escape, probably to learn everything he could. At the same time, he loves his parents deeply and is very well-behaved for them.
* BadLiar: Izzy tends to babble nervously, laugh awkwardly, and come up with weak sounding stories when he is placed on the spot and he is asked questions that he can’t answer.
* CharacterExaggeration: His "computer nerd" status has exaggerated by Mimi when she joked to the news saying "Izzy's girlfriend is his computer'. Needless to say, Izzy was not amused
* ChildProdigy: Despite how young he is, he's able to understand the digital world's complex nature
* DeadpanSnarker: Has made snarky remarks
* DoingResearch: The kids would never have gotten very far without Izzy's laptop. It does 98% of everything in the series except digivolve, be a digivice and induce the character development of traits that the digidestined need.
* HappilyAdopted: While he loves his parents, he went through a series of denial as he learned he's adopted
* MrExposition: Boy does he ever!
* TheSmartGuy: His crest is knowledge!
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: You'd think the schools would let him graduate early by now!

!!Tentomon

[[quoteright:214:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tentomon_7019.jpg]]

Izzy's partner, who resembles a red winged robotic insect. Not as brainy as his partner, but sometimes with a little more common sense. Tends to rein in Izzy when his [[ForScience quest for knowledge]] goes a bit too far.

His digivolutions are as follows:
** '''In-Training''': Motimon (Normal-type)
** '''Rookie''': Tentomon (Bug/Electric-type)
** '''Champion''': Kabuterimon (Bug/Electric-type)
** '''Ultimate''': [=MegaKabuterimon=] (Bug/Electric-type)

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Which terrifies Misty, of course
** GiantFlyer: Of all the final forms of the protagonists' Digimon, [=MegaKabuterimon=] is tied with Garudamon as the largest of the lot. Kabuterimon also tends to be portrayed as the largest of the Champion-level Digimon, though this tends to fluctuate somewhat between him and Birdramon.
* DeadpanSnarker: Results in some SnarkToSnarkCombat with Izzy.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: While as Tentomon he has a pair of vestigial arms, Kabuterimon and [=MegaKabuterimon=] have a fully functional extra pair.
* ShockAndAwe: The originator of electricity being the go-to element for insect Digimon.
* TheWatson: Izzy tends to have to explain what he's doing to him, and thus us.

!!Mimi Tachikawa

[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7201534qPEnEogA_6149.png]]

She's [[TheChick the girl]], basically. Somewhat prissy and spoiled, she doesn't always seem to "get" the situation, and is sometimes rather selfish without really realizing it. She matures into a kind, sweet, pacifistic figure, befitting her status as holder of the Crest of Sincerity/Purity. However, once she realizes how high the stakes are, she breaks down and refuses to continue, but comes to realize that some fights simply must be fought.
* BrutalHonesty: Sometimes tells the truth straightforward
* TheChick: Pretty much the girliest member of the group
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Her Digivice temporarily become green when Palmon digivolves into Lillymon.
* GenkiGirl: Pretty excited and happy-go-lucky. Her first reaction to hearing the Team Rocket motto? Cheer!
* NiceHat: A cowboy hat to be exact!
* {{Ojou}}: A nice and friendly version
* PluckyGirl: A very happy-go-lucky gal
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: With Sora

!!Palmon

[[quoteright:164:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/palmon_995.jpg]]

Mimi's partner, a plant-like Digimon who perhaps [[IncrediblyLamePun is the steady roots to Mimi's flights of fancy]].

Her digivolutions are as follows:
** '''In-Training''': Tanemon (Grass/Normal-type)
** '''Rookie''': Palmon (Grass-type)
** '''Champion''': Togemon (Grass/Fighting-type)
** '''Ultimate''': Lillymon (Grass/Fairy-type)

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Togemon's gloves
* {{BFG}}: Lillymon's [[CallingYourAttacks Flower Cannon!]]
* BishonenLine: Lillymon
* BoisterousBruiser: As Togemon
* CombatTentacles: Palmon's Poison Ivy attack.
* FragileSpeedster / GlassCannon: As Lillymon. She can't take too much punishment, and her physical strength is actually lower than her champion stage, but she's so fast and has suprisingly powerful attacks that make her a force to be reckoned with.
* GreenThumb: A plant digimon
* PlantAliens: A plant-based lifeform from another dimension, both from Earth and Pokearth!
* PlantPerson: Lillymon
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Lillymon, now with Fairy-type on Pokearth thanks to PokemonXAndY
* SpikeShooter: As Togemon, with her needle storm.
* RedBoxingGloves: As Togemon

!! Joe Kido

[[quoteright:90:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Joe_Kido_3776.png]]

Because he's the oldest, Joe thinks he should be the responsible one and take care of the other kids—too bad he's a total pushover with no self-esteem. He's cut deeply whenever he realizes that people think of him this way, and tries to make up for it with acts of reckless selflessness that make Tai look positively cowardly. Perhaps the closest thing to a father figure in the group. His crest is that of Reliability.

* ButtMonkey: Boy does the others like to joke around with him
* NerdGlasses: Wears glasses
* TeamDad: Oldest member of the group, does what he can to be a voice of reason
* TheMedic: Uses his medical knowledge to heal the digimon and other Digidestined when needed
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Literally, his hair is blue

!! Gomamon

[[quoteright:214:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gomamon_2585.jpg]]

Joe's partner, a seal-like creature. The biggest {{Foil}} Digimon of the first season, with his optimistic and silly nature often clashing with Joe's much more serious nature. Despite his playfulness, Gomamon is level-headed enough know when to take risks and bright enough to keep Joe from giving in to despair. He's also has FourthWallAwareness

His Digivolutions are as follows:
** '''In-Training''': Bukamon (Normal-type)
** '''Rookie''': Gomamon (Water-type)
** '''Champion''': Ikkakumon (Water/Ice-type)
** '''Ultimate''': Zudomon (Ice/Electric-type)

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Zudomon's belts.
* {{Adorkable}}: Dorky by adorable
* AnIcePerson: Ikkakumon's Northern Lights in the PSP game.
* AtlantisIsBoring: Gomamon's Marching Fishes attack is used very scarcely across the entire series; when it is used, it certainly proves to be incredibly useful for traversing water. Thanks to TMs, Gomamon can no be MakingASplash
* BadassMoustache: Zudomon.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: The joker of the group, yet his Ultimate form has a weapon that can damage Chrome Digizoid, a nearly indestructable metal.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: He makes lampshading comments all the time!
* CuteLittleFangs
* DropTheHammer: Zudomon's Vulcan's Hammer.
* FacialMarkings: As Gomamon
* FieryRedhead: A mohawk as Gomamon
* {{Flight}}: Bukamon.
* {{Hammerspace}}: Where ''do'' those fish come from, exactly?
* InnocentBlueEyes: Bukamon, and his Digivolutions.
* {{Keet}}: Pretty eccentric
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Ikkakumon's Harpoon Torpedo.
* MagikarpPower: Starts off as a rookie thats not much of a fighter (without the TMs) but as he digivolves, becomes TheBigGuy!
** With just Zudomon's first digivolution, he gave Devimon trouble, the same digimon who down six of their champions easily!
* MakingASplash: In theory. The "attack" that comes closest to this is [[SummonMagic Marching Fishes]]. As Ikkakumon, he uses NonElemental attacks and as Zudomon, his main attack consists of ShockAndAwe.
* MightyGlacier: His Digivolutions.
* MixAndMatchCritter: Zudomon.
* OddFriendship: With Joe.
* PluckyComicRelief: Always count on him for a joke
* RedheadedHero: As Gomamon
* SeaMonster: Mon stands for monster, and he's an aquatic-base creature
* ShockAndAwe: Zudomon's Vulcan's Hammer.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: As Gomamon again

!!Takeru "T.K." Takaishi
-->''"I don't want to fight, ever!"''

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tk_1104.jpg]]

Matt's little brother, and the youngest Digidestined (at first). As the quote may say he doesn't like to fight... [[BewareTheNiceOnes but when he does, hoo boy]]. His crest is Hope.

* CheerfulChild: Always tries to look on the bright side
* ChildrenAreInnocent: His crest is hope and he's partner is an angel!
* DeadSidekick: DeathIsCheap, mind. However, he and Angemon got back at Devimon in a GiantSpaceFleaOutOfNowhere

!! Patamon

[[quoteright:219:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/patamon_7654.jpg]]

TK's partner, who starts off looking like a pig with wings, and the most childish of the Digimon. [[BewareTheNiceOnes And as it turns out, also the most powerful]].

His Digivolutions are as follows:
** '''Rookie''': Patamon (Normal/Flying-type)
** '''Champion''': Angemon (Light/Flying-type)

* AngelicBeauty: His Digivolutions.
* {{Badass}}: Angemon was basically so powerful that he was one of the few Digimon who could give Myotismon a good fight, and even when fighting against ''Piedmon'' of all people, he managed to hold his own.
* BestForLast: The final partner to reach both Champion and Ultimate forms, probably because they were so broken. Interestingly, T.K. was the second [=DigiDestined=] to activate his crest.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Angemon is generally kind and caring, but he has no patience for evil doers.
* BishonenLine: His Digivolutions.
* BlobMonster: Poyomon.
* BlowYouAway: Boom Bubble.
* BlushSticker: Tokomon.
* CoolHelmet: His Digivolutions.
* CueTheFlyingPigs: Well, not ''literally,'' but considering his picture, the stuff he pulls off comes across as pretty damned unlikely.
* EarWings: His wings are his ears
* {{Flight}}: Why he's a flying-type on pokearth
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Angemon
* GoodWingsEvilWings: His evolutions have the expected feathery angel wings, but Patamon himself has bat-like wings typically associated with evil beings.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Angemon like pretty much all angel digimon, have blonde hair.
* HandBlast: Angemon's Hand of Fate.
* HeadPet: Rides on T.K.'s head a lot
* HolyHandGrenade: Extremely strong against undead and demonic opponents... which tend to fill the role of BigBad in this season.
* InnocentBlueEyes: As Patamon
* LightEmUp: He brought Light-types to Pokearth
* LightIsGood: He's an angel and he's a light-type
* LoinCloth: Angemon and Seraphimon.
* MagikarpPower: He's easily the weakest of the main Digimon, and can't do much in a fight. Then he digivolves into Angemon...
* MeaningfulName: Tokomon. Tokoton translates to "the very last."
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Tokomon
* MrFanservice: Angemon
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: His Digivolutions.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Patamon
* SimpleStaff: Angemon's [[UnfortunateName Angel Rod]].

!!Hikari "Kari" Yagami

[[quoteright:201:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kari_5467.jpg]]

Tai's little sister, and the [[SixthRanger Eighth Child]], not that anyone knows it at first. Very [[ChildrenAreInnocent sweet, kind and innocent]], but also often wise beyond her years. She has the Crest of Light, which is [[MeaningfulName only fitting]].

* AffirmativeActionGirl: Uncounting the pokemon trainers, became the third female digidestined
* BigBrotherWorship: Admires her brother
* BigNo: When [[spoiler: Wizardmon is killed]].
* BlessedWithSuck: Her power takes a physical toll on her.
* CheerfulChild: As cheerful as T.K.!
* DistaffCounterpart: To TK.
* HolyChild: Like T.K., she has a holy crest and an angel digimon
* IllGirl: The current page image, in fact. She had pneumonia in ''Adventure'', and that's why she couldn't go to the class trip and [[MissedTheCall didn't join her fellow Digidestined until later]].
* KindheartedCatLover: Has both a real-life pet cat and a cat Digimon.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Yes, she's the eighth child
* LightIsGood: Her crest is light!
* LittleMissSnarker: Can make a snarky remarks
* MeaningfulName: "hikari" is Japanese for "light," and guess who has the Crest of Light?
* MissedTheCall: As mentioned above, she was ill. Coincidentially, her partner was in the hands of a BigBad by then, having been lost as an egg and taken in by Myotismon... which raises the question of what would've happened had Kari not missed the call and gone to the Digital World anyway.
* NaiveEverygirl: Subverted. She ''is'' sweet and kind and gentle, but tries her best to hold her own.
* SixthRanger: Newest member to the main digidestined

!! Gatomon

[[quoteright:240:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gatomon_6804.jpg]]

The last of the Digimon partners, who eventually partners up with Kari. The only partner who spends most of her time in Champion form (not that it's easy to tell) and her more frank toughness is rather a contrast to Kari's [[ChildrenAreInnocent youthful innocence]]. Spent her whole life working for Myotismon until, helped by Wizardmon, recalled her destiny. With Ryo, they saved Kari and took her to Pokearth to meet up with the other Digidestineds.

Her Digivolutions are as follows:
** '''Champion''': Gatomon (Normal/Light-type)
** '''Ultimate''': Angewomon (Light/Flying-type)

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Her Holy Ring
* AngelicBeauty: Angewomon.
* BadassAdorable
* BareYourMidriff: Angewomon
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Basically her backstory - being tormented for years led to her becoming Myotismon's leading henchmon. Prior to her defection, she seems to enjoy being a bitch.
BrokenBird: The heaps of abuse dealt to her by Myotismon just because she had gentle eyes made her cynical and bitter, with Wizardmon as [[MoralityPet the only one whom she showed a bit of kindness to]]. Until she met Kari and became her partner, that is.
* CatsAreMagic: An interesting variation, in that Gatomon is the cat associated with Wizardmon. It’s like a classic Wizard-Familiar relationship, except that they are good friends.
* CatsAreMean: Subverted upon her HeelFaceTurn.
* CatsAreSnarkers: Expect her to make snarky comments now and then
* CatFolk: She's a cat
* CatSmile: WhenSheSmiles
* ChainmailBikini: The little armor Angewomon wears consists of her helm and a breastplate. A "breastplate" which amounts to little more than a metal bra.
* CoolHelmet: Angewomon.
* CuteBruiser: ''WAY'' stronger than [[PintSizedPowerhouse she looks]].
* CuteKitten: Even though she's an adult digimon
* CuteLittleFangs: A CatSmile
* TheDragon: Was one of Mytoismon's top lieutenants, capable of giving the heroes a good fight.
** CoDragons: Technically with [=DemiDevimon=], since they share about the same status within Myotismon's legion. However [=DemiDevimon=] is so underpowered, it's clear that Gatomon was the real Dragon.
* DistaffCounterpart: Angewomon to Angemon.
* TheDogBitesBack: Perhaps if Myotismon hadn't made a habit of abusing her terribly, she wouldn't have [[spoiler:shot an arrow through his heart]].
* EnergyBow: Angewomon's Celestial Arrow.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Angewomon.
* FingerlessGloves: Allows her claws to stick out.
* {{Flight}}: Angewomon.
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Angewomon.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: The aforementioned evolutions have big feathery angel wings (of course).
* GuardianEntity: What drove her on in life: Knowing that she was meant to find and defend someone. And this is even before becoming [[GuardianAngel Angewomon]].
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Most humnaoid angel Digimon have blonde hair. It's one of their things.
* HiddenEyes: Angewomon's helm covers up her eyes. They do exist, and can be seen in her evolution sequence.
* HighHeelFaceTurn: Myotismon's only other female minion was a Dokugumon.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: And how! Before she met Kari, Gatomon only could remember her hatred against everyone and the brutal punishments she used to get at a daily basis. She even forgot about the day when she met Wizardmon! Of course, she got better.
* LightningBruiser: She managed to take on six Digimon on the same digivolution level easilly.
* LightEmUp: Like Angemon, brought the Light-type to Pokearth
* LightIsGood: Upon re-discovering her memories.
* LightIsNotGood: Pre-HeelFaceTurn.
* MadeASlave: As Salamon, was made to be a slave to Myotismon.
* MetamorphosisMonster: Her Digivolution line is quite random.
* MsFanservice: Angewomon.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Cute little kitty defeated the group all by herself. Though she is a natural Champion level Digimon while they're all natural Rookies.
* OperaGloves: Angewomon has one.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Angewomon.
* TheParalyzer: Angewomon's Heavens Charm seems to have this effect on evil Digimon.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: She's a Champion level, but she's much smaller and more powerful than most of the other kids' partners! This is justified by her evolving naturally to her Champion stage while the others require the children's power to do so.
* ThePowerOfHate: What kept her going for most of her life.
* PowerSource: Her Tail Ring. Without, her strength is reduced to that of a Rookie.
* PreciousPuppy: Salamon.
* PungeonMaster: Cat-related
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to [=DemiDevimon=]'s red, though she could also be seen as the red to Wizardmon's blue.
* RightHandCat: Literally for Mytoismon.
* ScarsAreForever: Has an X-shaped scar on her left paw from Myotismon, but it's normally covered by her glove. She has a glove on the same hand as Angewomon.
* SensualSpandex: Angewomon.
* SixthRanger: With Kari, of course
* TeamMom: Being more introverted and mature than most of the other Digimon, she has a tendency to herd them or provide insights into what's going on with the children.
* ThereIsAnother: the 8th Digimon
* ThinkingOutLoud: Does this while observing on Kari, speaking her thoughts about her cloudy past. Wizardmon hears this, and asks her a question. Gatomon, not realizing she was thinking out loud, gets angry and tells him to stop reading her mind.
* TooManyBelts: Angewomon.
* {{Tuckerization}}: Salamon is named after dub producer Terri-Lei O'Malley's pet cat.
* WolverineClaws: Gatomon's claws, which are huge and stick out her gloves.
* ZenSurvivor: After taking years (if not decades) of brutal servitude, Gatomon ends up being wiser and tougher.

!!Ryo Akiyama

[[quoteright:69:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/RyoDigimon_3434.png]]

Main hero of the DigimonWonderSwanSeries. With the Digidestined sent to the wrong world, someone had to protect Kari and help her get to the others. Ryo's destiny was called early and he was given a special digivice. With HeelFaceTurn Gatomon and Wizardmon (he's temporary partner) they opened the gateway to Pokearth, however Myotismon and his army followed.

Upon Myotismon's defeat and Wizardmon's death, it seems Ryo's destiny hasn't ended and he was called back to the digital world. Its revealed his digivice is special, as he can bond with other wild digimon (but can't digivolve them). His mission is to defeat a Dark Master, one certain one; Machinedramon. Now where could this adventure lead too?


* BrokenAce: Upon Wizardmon's death
* CanonImmigrant: While he was in the DigimonAdventure universe (as one can see him in Ken's flashbacks) his story originate from the Wonderswan video games only released in Japan, so NoExportForYou. Western fans best knew Ryo from his appearance in DigimonTamers.
* TheDrifter: Has become this after Wizardmon's death
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: After Wizardmon's death, questions wither he should be part of the adventure
* MeaningfulName: "Ryo" means "Distant".
* TheOnlyOne: A key part of his backstory. There was a certain extraordinarily powerful, extraordinarily evil digimon that only he could defeat [[spoiler: because said digimon was his partner]]. He had to learn the ''[[TraumaCongaLine very, very]]'' hard way to stand on his own as a tamer, and it shows in his attitude towards the others. He doesn't mind hanging out with them, but he'll leave to do his own thing at the drop of a hat.
* StepfordSmiler: Wizardmon's death is only one blow that will be to come, to anyone who knows the games.
* WalkingTheEarth: Alone but with a team of digimon

Tai is the first season's leader, and bearer of the Crest of Courage. He's a reckless blockhead at times, willing to jump into anything, and this gets him into serious trouble when he gets the idea in his head that, since the Digital World is digital, he can't be killed. The realization that this isn't the case freezes him right in his tracks, and when he overcomes it, he makes the proper jump A trainer from "not afraid" to "courageous." Despite his recklessness, New Bark Town in Johto, having picked Cyndaquil. Like Ash, he's eager to join up in a warm, encouraging guy, very friendly, Pokemon League, however he ends up finding the tournament ain't open yet. So what is a HotBlooded trainer to do?

This causes pokemon journey the same day as Jimmy, however Silver isn't from New Bark Town. Before the storyline, he was more of a {{Jerkass}}, TheRival to Jimmy as their views on training pokemon contrast with one another. However over time, Silver had TookALevelInKindness, managing to evolving his Golbat into a Crobat. Becomes of this changed, it might have been what allowed him to be very cautious (although not as cautious as Joe), which results in receive a lot of clashes with silver D-Sphere and the get-out-and-go Tai.

her time mediating fights between Tai and Matt, and keeping the group in line. She doesn't always have the patience for it, but she tries anyway.
* ActionGirl: Digimon's earliest example
* CoolBigSis: When not the TeamMom, she can be said to be the big sister of the group
* TheHeart: Its her crest's symbol!
* MeaningfulName: "Sora"
crest is Japanese for "sky." Guess who has the bird Digimon?
Joy.

* NiceHat: Oddly, it's a helmet sometimes

!!Biyomon (Piyomon)

[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/biyomon_8790.jpg]]

Sora's pink-feathered bird-like partner, who often causes her some angst with her loyalty and gentleness. More than a bit hyper.

Her digivolutions are as follows:
** '''In-Training''': Yokomon (Normal-type)
** '''Rookie''': Biyomon (Fire/Flying-type)
** '''Champion''': Birdramon (Fire/Flying-type)
** '''Ultimate''': Garudamon (Fire/Flying-type)

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: She wears a ring around her leg
* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: Garudamon.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: [[CallingYourAttacks Spiral Twister!]]
* GenkiGirl
* GiantFlyer: When evolved. It's worth noting that of all the final forms of the protagnists' Digimon, Garudamon is tied with [=MegaKabuterimon=] as the largest of the lot.
* LoveFreak: At least when it comes to Sora.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Birdramon, who is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a cross between a bird and a dragon]].
* NoisyNature: As Birdramon,
CompositeCharacter: While she's prone to letting out a loud avian shriek.
* NonmammalianHair: Garudamon has long (valkyrie?) braids but is otherwise clearly a bird-mon.
* ThePhoenix
* PlayingWithFire: Biyomon, Birdramon, and Garudamon all have fire based attacks as their main weapons.
* PollyWantsAMicrophone
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Not as obvious as with Izzy, but you'll notice her speech patterns are more antiquated than the other Digimon.
* TechnicolorFire: Her Spiral Twister attack.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Pink? Check. Jewelry? Check. Hair
Lyra like structure? Check. Long blonde hair, in Garudamon's case? Check. Yeah, she's a girl.
* WindIsGreen: Her "Spiral Twister" ability, which basically looks like a flaming green hurricane.'

!!Koushirou "Izzy" Izumi

[[quoteright:406:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Koushiro_-_Image_3327.jpg]]

Basically, Izzy is
the one who can actually think his way out in the anime, she shows elements of a paper bag, which is only supported by his Crest of Knowledge. He's very curious and logical, and somewhat unsure of himself socially. He carries around a laptop computer, and his reactions to various problems are nearly always a variation on "If I learn enough, I can fix it."

His biological parents died when he was very young, and his father's cousins adopted him, having recently lost a child of their own. They kept this a secret
Kris from him, but he accidentally heard them talking about it, and was devastated. After this, Izzy sank himself into his computer as an escape, probably to learn everything he could. At the same time, he loves his parents deeply and is very well-behaved for them.
* BadLiar: Izzy tends to babble nervously, laugh awkwardly, and come up
PokemonAdventures with weak sounding stories when he is placed on the spot and he is asked questions that he can’t answer.
wanting to be a skilled pokemon catcher like her mother
* CharacterExaggeration: His "computer nerd" status has exaggerated by Mimi when she joked FairyCompanion: Due to the news saying "Izzy's girlfriend is his computer'. Needless addition of Fairy-types from ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'', Marill, much to say, Izzy was not amused
* ChildProdigy: Despite how young he is, he's able to understand the digital world's complex nature
* DeadpanSnarker: Has made snarky remarks
* DoingResearch: The kids would never have gotten very far without Izzy's laptop. It does 98% of everything in the series except digivolve, be a digivice and induce the character development of traits that the digidestined need.
* HappilyAdopted: While he loves his parents, he went through a series of denial as he learned he's adopted
* MrExposition: Boy does he ever!
* TheSmartGuy: His crest is knowledge!
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: You'd think the schools would let him graduate early by now!

!!Tentomon

[[quoteright:214:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tentomon_7019.jpg]]

Izzy's partner, who resembles a red winged robotic insect. Not as brainy as his partner, but sometimes with a little more common sense. Tends to rein in Izzy when his [[ForScience quest for knowledge]] goes a bit too far.

His digivolutions are as follows:
** '''In-Training''': Motimon (Normal-type)
** '''Rookie''': Tentomon (Bug/Electric-type)
** '''Champion''': Kabuterimon (Bug/Electric-type)
** '''Ultimate''': [=MegaKabuterimon=] (Bug/Electric-type)

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Which terrifies Misty, of course
** GiantFlyer: Of all the final forms of the protagonists' Digimon, [=MegaKabuterimon=] is tied with Garudamon as the largest of the lot. Kabuterimon also tends to be portrayed as the largest of the Champion-level Digimon, though this tends to fluctuate somewhat between him and Birdramon.
* DeadpanSnarker: Results in some SnarkToSnarkCombat with Izzy.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: While as Tentomon he has a pair of vestigial arms, Kabuterimon and [=MegaKabuterimon=] have a fully functional extra pair.
* ShockAndAwe: The originator of electricity being the go-to element for insect Digimon.
* TheWatson: Izzy tends
Chikorita's chargin. (Marill keeps proclaiming to have to explain what he's doing to him, and thus us.

!!Mimi Tachikawa

[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7201534qPEnEogA_6149.png]]

She's [[TheChick the girl]], basically. Somewhat prissy and spoiled, she doesn't always seem to "get" the situation, and is sometimes rather selfish without really realizing it. She matures into a kind, sweet, pacifistic figure, befitting her status as holder of the Crest of Sincerity/Purity. However, once she realizes how high the stakes are, she breaks down and refuses to continue, but comes to realize that some fights simply must be fought.
* BrutalHonesty: Sometimes tells the truth straightforward
* TheChick: Pretty much the girliest member of the group
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Her Digivice temporarily become green when Palmon digivolves into Lillymon.
fairy powers yet they haven't been displayed yet).
* GenkiGirl: Pretty excited and happy-go-lucky. Her first reaction to hearing the Team Rocket motto? Cheer!
* NiceHat: A cowboy hat to be exact!
* {{Ojou}}: A nice and friendly version
* PluckyGirl: A very happy-go-lucky gal
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: With Sora

!!Palmon

[[quoteright:164:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/palmon_995.jpg]]

Mimi's partner, a plant-like Digimon who perhaps [[IncrediblyLamePun is the steady roots to Mimi's flights of fancy]].

Her digivolutions are as follows:
** '''In-Training''': Tanemon (Grass/Normal-type)
** '''Rookie''': Palmon (Grass-type)
** '''Champion''': Togemon (Grass/Fighting-type)
** '''Ultimate''': Lillymon (Grass/Fairy-type)

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Togemon's gloves
* {{BFG}}: Lillymon's [[CallingYourAttacks Flower Cannon!]]

* RedBoxingGloves: As Togemon

!! Joe Kido

[[quoteright:90:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Joe_Kido_3776.png]]

Because he's the oldest, Joe thinks he should be the responsible one and take care
being a trainer out of the other kids—too bad he's a total pushover with no self-esteem. He's cut deeply whenever he realizes that people think of him this way, and tries to make up for it with acts of reckless selflessness that make Tai look positively cowardly. Perhaps the closest thing to a father figure in the group. His crest is that of Reliability.

* ButtMonkey: Boy does the others like to joke around with him
* NerdGlasses: Wears glasses
* TeamDad: Oldest member of the group, does what he can to be a voice of reason
* TheMedic: Uses his medical knowledge to heal the digimon and other Digidestined when needed

!! Gomamon

[[quoteright:214:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gomamon_2585.jpg]]

Joe's partner, a seal-like creature. The biggest {{Foil}} Digimon of the first season, with his optimistic and silly nature often clashing with Joe's much more serious nature. Despite his playfulness, Gomamon is level-headed enough know when to take risks and bright enough to keep Joe from giving in to despair. He's also has FourthWallAwareness

His Digivolutions are as follows:
** '''In-Training''': Bukamon (Normal-type)
** '''Rookie''': Gomamon (Water-type)
** '''Champion''': Ikkakumon (Water/Ice-type)
** '''Ultimate''': Zudomon (Ice/Electric-type)

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Zudomon's belts.
* {{Adorkable}}: Dorky by adorable
* AnIcePerson: Ikkakumon's Northern Lights in the PSP game.
* AtlantisIsBoring: Gomamon's Marching Fishes attack is used very scarcely across the entire series; when it is used, it certainly proves to be incredibly useful for traversing water. Thanks to TMs, Gomamon can no be MakingASplash
* BadassMoustache: Zudomon.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: The joker of the group, yet his Ultimate form has a weapon that can damage Chrome Digizoid, a nearly indestructable metal.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: He makes lampshading comments all the time!
* CuteLittleFangs
* DropTheHammer: Zudomon's Vulcan's Hammer.
* FacialMarkings: As Gomamon
* FieryRedhead: A mohawk as Gomamon
* {{Flight}}: Bukamon.
* {{Hammerspace}}: Where ''do'' those fish come from, exactly?
* InnocentBlueEyes: Bukamon, and his Digivolutions.
* {{Keet}}: Pretty eccentric
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Ikkakumon's Harpoon Torpedo.
* MagikarpPower: Starts off as a rookie thats not much of a fighter (without the TMs) but as he digivolves, becomes TheBigGuy!
** With just Zudomon's first digivolution, he gave Devimon trouble, the same digimon who down six of their champions easily!
* MakingASplash: In theory. The "attack" that comes closest to this is [[SummonMagic Marching Fishes]]. As Ikkakumon, he uses NonElemental attacks and as Zudomon, his main attack consists of ShockAndAwe.
* MightyGlacier: His Digivolutions.
* MixAndMatchCritter: Zudomon.
* OddFriendship: With Joe.
* PluckyComicRelief: Always count on him for a joke
* RedheadedHero: As Gomamon

-->''"I don't want to fight, ever!"''

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tk_1104.jpg]]

Matt's little brother, and the youngest Digidestined (at first). As the quote may say he doesn't like to fight... [[BewareTheNiceOnes but when he does, hoo boy]]. His crest is Hope.

* CheerfulChild: Always tries to look on the bright side

* ThemeNaming: Along with his brother, named after folk hero Yamato Takeru.

!! Patamon

[[quoteright:219:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/patamon_7654.jpg]]

TK's partner, who starts off looking like a pig with wings, and the most childish of the Digimon. [[BewareTheNiceOnes And as it turns out, also the most powerful]].

His Digivolutions are as follows:
** '''Rookie''': Patamon (Normal/Flying-type)
** '''Champion''': Angemon (Light/Flying-type)

* AngelicBeauty: His Digivolutions.
* {{Badass}}: Angemon was basically so powerful that he was one of the few Digimon who could give Myotismon a good fight, and even when fighting against ''Piedmon'' of all people, he managed to hold his own.
* BestForLast: The final partner to reach both Champion and Ultimate forms, probably because they were so broken. Interestingly, T.K. was the second [=DigiDestined=] to activate his crest.

* BishonenLine: His Digivolutions.
* BlobMonster: Poyomon.
* BlowYouAway: Boom Bubble.

* EarWings: His wings are his ears
* {{Flight}}: Why he's a flying-type on pokearth
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Angemon
* GoodWingsEvilWings: His evolutions have the expected feathery angel wings, but Patamon himself has bat-like wings typically associated with evil beings.

* HandBlast: Angemon's Hand of Fate.
* HeadPet: Rides on T.K.'s head a lot

* LightEmUp: He brought Light-types to Pokearth
* LightIsGood: He's an angel and he's a light-type
* LoinCloth: Angemon and Seraphimon.
* MagikarpPower: He's easily the weakest of the main Digimon, and can't do much in a fight. Then he digivolves into Angemon...

* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Tokomon
* MrFanservice: Angemon
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: His Digivolutions.

!!Hikari "Kari" Yagami

[[quoteright:201:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kari_5467.jpg]]

Tai's little sister, and the [[SixthRanger Eighth Child]], not that anyone knows it at first. Very [[ChildrenAreInnocent sweet, kind and innocent]], but also often wise beyond
her years. She has the Crest of Light, which is [[MeaningfulName only fitting]].

* AffirmativeActionGirl: Uncounting the
pokemon trainers, became past their highest stages once unlocked early and can use whatever functions the third female digidestined
* BigBrotherWorship: Admires her brother
* BigNo: When [[spoiler: Wizardmon is killed]].
* BlessedWithSuck: Her power takes a physical toll on her.
* CheerfulChild: As cheerful as T.K.!
* DistaffCounterpart: To TK.
* HolyChild: Like T.K., she
D-Sphere has a holy crest and an angel digimon
* IllGirl: The current page image, in fact. She had pneumonia in ''Adventure'', and that's why she couldn't go
to the class trip and [[MissedTheCall didn't join her fellow Digidestined until later]].
* KindheartedCatLover: Has both a real-life pet cat and a cat Digimon.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Yes, she's the eighth child
* LightIsGood: Her crest is light!
* LittleMissSnarker: Can make a snarky remarks
* MeaningfulName: "hikari" is Japanese for "light," and guess who has the Crest of Light?
* MissedTheCall: As mentioned above, she was ill. Coincidentially, her partner was in the hands of a BigBad by then, having been lost as an egg and taken in by Myotismon... which raises the question of what would've happened had Kari not missed the call and gone to the Digital World anyway.
* NaiveEverygirl: Subverted. She ''is'' sweet and kind and gentle, but tries her best to hold her own.
* SixthRanger: Newest member to the main digidestined

!! Gatomon

[[quoteright:240:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gatomon_6804.jpg]]

The last of the Digimon partners, who eventually partners up with Kari. The only partner who spends most of her time in Champion form (not that it's easy to tell) and her more frank toughness is rather a contrast to Kari's [[ChildrenAreInnocent youthful innocence]]. Spent her whole life working for Myotismon until, helped by Wizardmon, recalled her destiny. With Ryo, they saved Kari and took her to Pokearth to meet up with
offer. However unlike the other Digidestineds.

Her Digivolutions are as follows:
** '''Champion''': Gatomon (Normal/Light-type)
** '''Ultimate''': Angewomon (Light/Flying-type)

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Her Holy Ring
* AngelicBeauty: Angewomon.
* BadassAdorable
* BareYourMidriff: Angewomon
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Basically her backstory - being tormented for years led to her becoming Myotismon's leading henchmon. Prior to her defection, she seems to enjoy being a bitch.
BrokenBird: The heaps of abuse dealt to her by Myotismon just because she had gentle eyes made her cynical and bitter, with Wizardmon as [[MoralityPet the
D-Sphere Holders, Lyra only one whom has recently started her pokemon journey, she showed a bit of kindness to]]. Until she met Kari and became her partner, that is.
* CatsAreMagic: An interesting variation, in that Gatomon is
lacks the cat associated with Wizardmon. It’s like experience as a classic Wizard-Familiar relationship, except that they are good friends.
* CatsAreMean: Subverted upon her HeelFaceTurn.
* CatsAreSnarkers: Expect her to make snarky comments now and then
* CatFolk: She's a cat
* CatSmile: WhenSheSmiles
* ChainmailBikini: The little armor Angewomon wears consists of her helm and a breastplate. A "breastplate" which amounts to little more than a metal bra.
* CoolHelmet: Angewomon.
* CuteBruiser: ''WAY'' stronger than [[PintSizedPowerhouse she looks]].
* CuteKitten: Even though she's an adult digimon
* CuteLittleFangs: A CatSmile
* TheDragon: Was one of Mytoismon's top lieutenants, capable of giving the heroes a good fight.
** CoDragons: Technically with [=DemiDevimon=], since they share about the same status within Myotismon's legion. However [=DemiDevimon=] is so underpowered, it's clear that Gatomon was the
real Dragon.
trainer. Her pokemon are still at low levels.
* DistaffCounterpart: Angewomon to Angemon.
* TheDogBitesBack: Perhaps if Myotismon hadn't made a habit of abusing
TheHeart: If her terribly, she wouldn't have [[spoiler:shot an arrow through his heart]].

* FashionableAsymmetry: Angewomon.
* FingerlessGloves: Allows her claws to stick out.
* {{Flight}}: Angewomon.
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Angewomon.

* GuardianEntity: What drove her on in life: Knowing that she was meant to find and defend someone. And this is even before becoming [[GuardianAngel Angewomon]].
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Most humnaoid angel Digimon have blonde hair. It's one of their things.
* HiddenEyes: Angewomon's helm covers up her eyes. They do exist, and can be seen in her evolution sequence.
* HighHeelFaceTurn: Myotismon's only other female minion was a Dokugumon.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: And how! Before she met Kari, Gatomon only could remember her hatred against everyone and the brutal punishments she used to get at a daily basis. She even forgot about the day when she met Wizardmon! Of course, she got better.
* LightningBruiser: She managed to take on six Digimon on the same digivolution level easilly.
* LightEmUp: Like Angemon, brought the Light-type to Pokearth
* LightIsGood: Upon re-discovering her memories.
* LightIsNotGood: Pre-HeelFaceTurn.
* MadeASlave: As Salamon, was made to be a slave to Myotismon.
* MetamorphosisMonster: Her Digivolution line is quite random.
* MsFanservice: Angewomon.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Cute little kitty defeated the group all by herself. Though she is a natural Champion level Digimon while they're all natural Rookies.
* OperaGloves: Angewomon has one.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Angewomon.
* TheParalyzer: Angewomon's Heavens Charm seems to have this effect on evil Digimon.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: She's a Champion level, but she's much smaller and more powerful than most of the other kids' partners! This is justified by her evolving naturally to her Champion stage while the others require the children's power to do so.
* ThePowerOfHate: What kept her going for most of her life.
* PowerSource: Her Tail Ring. Without, her strength is reduced to that of a Rookie.
* PreciousPuppy: Salamon.
* PungeonMaster: Cat-related
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to [=DemiDevimon=]'s red, though she could also be seen as the red to Wizardmon's blue.
* RightHandCat: Literally for Mytoismon.
* ScarsAreForever: Has an X-shaped scar on her left paw from Myotismon, but it's normally covered by her glove. She has a glove on the same hand as Angewomon.
* SensualSpandex: Angewomon.
* SixthRanger: With Kari, of course
* TeamMom: Being more introverted and mature than most of the other Digimon, she has a tendency to herd them or provide insights into what's going on with the children.
* ThereIsAnother: the 8th Digimon
* ThinkingOutLoud: Does this while observing on Kari, speaking her thoughts about her cloudy past. Wizardmon hears this, and asks her a question. Gatomon, not realizing she was thinking out loud, gets angry and tells him to stop reading her mind.
* TooManyBelts: Angewomon.
* {{Tuckerization}}: Salamon is named after dub producer Terri-Lei O'Malley's pet cat.
* WolverineClaws: Gatomon's claws, which are huge and stick out her gloves.
* ZenSurvivor: After taking years (if not decades) of brutal servitude, Gatomon ends up being wiser and tougher.

!!Ryo Akiyama

[[quoteright:69:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/RyoDigimon_3434.png]]

Main hero of the DigimonWonderSwanSeries. With the Digidestined sent to the wrong world, someone had to protect Kari and help her get to the others. Ryo's destiny was called early and he was given a special digivice. With HeelFaceTurn Gatomon and Wizardmon (he's temporary partner) they opened the gateway to Pokearth, however Myotismon and his army followed.

Upon Myotismon's defeat and Wizardmon's death, it seems Ryo's destiny hasn't ended and he was called back to the digital world. Its revealed his digivice is special, as he can bond with other wild digimon (but can't digivolve them). His mission is to defeat a Dark Master, one certain one; Machinedramon. Now where could this adventure lead too?


* BrokenAce: Upon Wizardmon's death
* CanonImmigrant: While he was in the DigimonAdventure universe (as one can see him in Ken's flashbacks) his story originate from the Wonderswan video games only released in Japan, so NoExportForYou. Western fans best knew Ryo from his appearance in DigimonTamers.
* TheDrifter: Has become this after Wizardmon's death
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: After Wizardmon's death, questions wither he should be part of the adventure
* MeaningfulName: "Ryo" means "Distant".
* TheOnlyOne: A key part of his backstory. There was a certain extraordinarily powerful, extraordinarily evil digimon that only he could defeat [[spoiler: because said digimon was his partner]]. He had to learn the ''[[TraumaCongaLine very, very]]'' hard way to stand on his own as a tamer, and it shows in his attitude towards the others. He doesn't mind hanging out with them, but he'll leave to do his own thing at the drop of a hat.
* StepfordSmiler: Wizardmon's death is only one blow that will be to come, to anyone who knows the games.
* WalkingTheEarth: Alone but with a team of digimon

[[folder:Ryo's Partners]]
!!Wizardmon (Wizarmon)

[[quoteright:216:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wizardmon_7092.jpg]]

A minion of Myotismon who is more than he seems, and has strange powers even by Digimon standards. Gatomon's only real friend [[spoiler:(at first)]] who turns out to greatly influence the story. Became the first to side with Ryo, and with Gatomon, they saved Kari and took her to Pokearth to meet up with the Digidestineds.

* AWizardDidIt: Not JustForPun, but see ScarilyCompetentTracker below.
* [[spoiler:AlmostDeadGuy: Keeps himself alive to ensure that he fulfills his destiny.]]
* {{Badass}}: [[spoiler:Survived attacks that would OneHitKill ''higher level Digimon'', defied the arc's BigBad and was the first to harm him in the final battle, though Wizardmon was unarmed, and took ''incredible amounts of damage'' before dying like a man, complete with FamousLastWords.]] See also his entry under CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
** BadassCape: Complete with InstantRunes.
* BlackMage: With various forms of BlackMagic.
* CallingYourAttacks: [[CombatMedic Averts]] [[CombatPragmatist this]] [[InTheBack when]] [[GenreSavvy necessary]].
* CatsAreMagic: An interesting variation, in that Gatomon is the cat associated with Wizardmon. It’s like a classic Wizard-Familiar relationship, except that they are good friends.
* CoatHatMask: Coat is small though
* CombatMedic: Has healing spells
* [[spoiler:DarkIsNotEvil: Worked for Myotismon but really sided with him for Gatomon's shake. Never was keen on the vampire lord's plans since the beginning]]
* [[spoiler:{{Determinator}}]]: Oh, yes indeed. See SquishyWizard below.
* [[spoiler:DyingMomentOfAwesome: Died to protect Kari and Gatomon]]
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: [[CaptainObvious He’s a wizard]].
* {{Fireballs}}: One of spells
* {{Foil}}: To Gatomon [[spoiler:and Myotismon.]] Gatomon is his female counterpart, who is more of a physical fighter than a magical one, and with a tough personality but cute looks, all of which are the inverse of Wizardmon's traits. [[spoiler:Similarly, Myotismon is a tall, blonde, blue-eyed and menacing magic user with extreme toughness and power, but Wizardmon also has blonde hair, blue eyes, uses magic, is of smaller size, and his gentle ways, as well as his noble and honorable sacrifice, highlight their similarities and contrasting differences... and just how evil the vampire really was.]]
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: Like a few members of Myotismon's crew, Wizardmon was able to walk in broad daylight without drawing attention to himself. He poses as a street magician, [[StageMagician producing balloons and doves with sleight of hand.]]
* FrothyMugsOfWater: He bribes [=DemiDevimon=] with a bottle of Sake.
* [[spoiler:HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: One of the first visual hints that he’s not actually evil. Subverts BlondesAreEvil, too. Goes well with his blue eyes.]]
* HealingHands: Healing spells
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: For Tailmon and Kari]]
InstantRunes: He has a few in the inner parts of his BadassCape.
* IOweYouMyLife: Gatomon once saved him from starving to death and from his crushing loneliness. Ever since then, he became completely devoted to her.
* LipLock: One of the few Digimon characters completely immune to this. The only time we see his mouth we discover [[spoiler: that he has ''literal'' LipLock. His lips are stitched together. It doesn't prevent him from eating or speaking though.]]
* LonersAreFreaks: He was this before he met Gatomon, though he subverts the IneffectualLoner trope as well later on.
** Within the RP, its been hinted he was cast out by Witchmon
* MagiciansAreWizards: An interesting variation in that while he poses as a stage magician at first, [[ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself he still wears his full wizard outfit.]]
* MagicWand: Look closely and you'll see it's in the shape of a Digitama (Digi-egg), or a Tamagotchi. WordOfGod says it's a MythologyGag and a ShoutOut to the original Digital Monsters.

Since the Digidestined left File Island, Ogremon had became a bandit, robbing those that pass through the canyons. When attacking Hiro's group, he was shined upon by Willis' digivice, giving him the ability to Warp Digivolve just as Leomon. Like the lion-man, he too was asked to joined Ryo's team.

Leomon's rival
org/pmwiki/pub/images/teamrockettrio_1805.jpg]]
The main villains of the anime series, Jessie, James,
and foil, Meowth are always planning up a way to capture Ash's Pikachu, who they have deemed to be exceptionally special, strong, and worthy of giving as a gift to their boss, Giovanni. Originally, they usually worked as a stand-alone branch of Team Rocket. This even lead Giovanni to forget that they were members of the crime organization to begin with!

Because of the Mon Wars, they have taken
an uncouth brute with a sense interest in Digimon, wanting to present them to their boss. Of course their tactics resort to their same old trap holes and giant mechs.

* AffablyEvil: Despite working for Team Rocket, they aren't as evil as other members. They can't even control the power
of humour. As his name indicates, he resembles an ogre.
Since
shadow.
* AntiVillain: They're not as evil, they truly love their pokemon and EvenEvilHasStandards.
* BackToBackBadasses: When reciting their mottos
* BreakingTheFourthWall: One of the few constant wall breakers
* CatchPhrase: Their intro speech ("Prepare for trouble! Make it double!...") and "Team Rocket's blasting off again!".
** [[CatchphraseSpoutingDuo Catchphrase Spouting Trio]]: Meowth's part maybe small, but it contributes
* CommutingOnABus/DemotedToExtra: With Ash and Pikachu being closely tied in plots helping
the Digidestined left File Island, Ogremon had became fighting against their enemies, Team Rocket has made little appearances troubling the boy or his friends, being just recurring enemies rather than the constant villains as they were in the anime. However with Team Rocket gaining knowledge of Digivolution, the trio may get a bandit, robbing those bigger role as time goes by.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass / LetsGetDangerous: When they aren't being used for jokes, they are quite threatening.
* CustomUniform: Their original white uniforms were this. All other Team Rocket grunts wear black, but they wore white symbolizing how outlandish they were from the rest of the organization.
* DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster: They all ''love'' their jobs.
* {{Determinator}}s: No matter how many times they've been blasted off, they will never give up on trying to capture Pikachu.
* {{Drama Queen}}s: All three of them, seriously.
* {{Faceship}}: Their iconic Meowth hot-air balloon.
* FreudianExcuse: Jessie grew up in poverty while Meowth spent much of his life as a stray. While James in contrast was part of a well-off family, his parents were cruel to him and wanted to force him to get married.
* GenreSavvy: Despite their blundering, they do seem the most self aware of the show and its standard plot points. Some of their more competent moments also often come from anticipating the "twerps" and their Pokémon's usual retaliations. Hell, they are aware a lot of their plans would have gone on without a hitch if it weren't for them getting involved.
* HumongousMecha: They sometimes utilize ridiculous mecha robots to aid their nefarious deeds, though they are always destroyed by the plot's end, sending the trio blasting off.
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Team Rocket's motto
that pass through they recite in every episode.
* LightIsNotGood: Unlike most of
the canyons. When attacking Hiro's group, he was shined upon by Willis' digivice, giving him the ability to Warp Digivolve just as Leomon. Like the lion-man, he too was asked to joined Ryo's team.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Again, after his HeelFaceTurn.
* NotBrainwashed: He was
the only one who served Devimon ones ever dressed in white. Even Meowth's creamy-coloured fur references this trope.
* MadeOfIron: They actually credit their encounters with the protagonists and being blasted off to making them this.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: To test out the new digivices, Jesse and James were used as subjects by the rest of Team Rocket, namely Butch and Cassidy
* ShooOutTheClowns: Unlike how in "Best Wishes" they started to become serious and threatening (Prior to Decolora Adventures), the Team Rocket trio was DemotedToExtras when Ash and co. entered the Mon Wars. Although its still possible they'll be brought back into the spotlight once the Team Rocket organization gets more involved in the plot. So like Best Wishes, only with digimon being the PlotDevice and not an Unova pokemon.
* TerribleTrio: The iconic team!
* TrueCompanions: Have formed a strong bond with each other.

While Pikachu is his main pokemon, the one who recieves the power of the sealed evolution is Charizard.

* AlwaysSecondBest: In a TakeThat to the anime during his encounter with Datamon, he reveals Ash would never win a Pokemon League. Taken worse during a dream Ash had a sneak peak to all his defeats at the Pokemon Leagues of Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova in the original timeline.

* BigWordShout: [[SkywardScream "PIKACHU!!!!!!!!"]]

* CoolDownHug: Needed it in a dream as he sees all his friends are moving on with their lives and he's still battling pokemon leagues, always losing and not going anywhere.
* ConfusionFu: When he isn't being an Idiot Hero, one of his greatest strengths in Pokémon battling is coming up with off-the-wall strategies on the fly that surprise his opponents. Such as when he had all his pokemon attacked at once on Myotismon, resulting in an explosion!

* {{Determinator}}: And HOW. Its now even his crest! He goes on par with Tai in terms of HotBlooded

Ash's rival when he started off as a Pokémon trainer. Gary would usually one-up Ash and take any chance to insult him when they met up. Like Ash, he too was giving a D-Sphere (blue) and a crest (Humility).
In the beginning, Gary treated fighting digimon just like he would do during his pokemon journeys, during the battle against Myotismon, he's suddenly realizing just how serious being a Digidestined is.
* The Ace: Gary seems to be pretty much be the best at what he does, and even claims to be the top trainer out of the four in his year who left Pallet Town, and is always at least two steps ahead of Ash.

* AnimeHair: Not as bad as Tai's, but still wild.
* BrainyBrunette: He's quite a strategic trainer
* BreakTheHaughty: As if his CurbStompBattle against Mewtwo wasn't enough, he gets reminded of it when his plans to weaken Myotismon fail. Even worse, he learns the hard way how serious things are when friendly and good digimon around die, like Wizardmon, Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon.
* RedOniBlueOni: Like Matt is to Tai, Gary is the blue to Ash's red.

!!Jesse, James & Meowth
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/teamrockettrio_1805.jpg]]
The main villains of the anime series, Jessie, James, and Meowth are always planning up a way to capture Ash's Pikachu, who they have deemed to be exceptionally special, strong, and worthy of giving as a gift to their boss, Giovanni. Originally, they usually worked as a stand-alone branch of Team Rocket. This even lead Giovanni to forget that they were members of the crime organization to begin with!

Because of the Mon Wars, they have taken an interest in Digimon, wanting to present them to their boss. Of course their tactics resort to their same old trap holes and giant mechs.

* AffablyEvil: Despite working for Team Rocket, they aren't as evil as other members. They can't even control the power of shadow.
* AntiVillain: They're not as evil, they truly love their pokemon and EvenEvilHasStandards.
* BackToBackBadasses: When reciting their mottos
* BreakingTheFourthWall: One of the few constant wall breakers
* CatchPhrase: Their intro speech ("Prepare for trouble! Make it double!...") and "Team Rocket's blasting off again!".
** [[CatchphraseSpoutingDuo Catchphrase Spouting Trio]]: Meowth's part maybe small, but it contributes
* CommutingOnABus/DemotedToExtra: With Ash and Pikachu being closely tied in plots helping the Digidestined fighting against their enemies, Team Rocket has made little appearances troubling the boy or his friends, being just recurring enemies rather than the constant villains as they were in the anime. However with Team Rocket gaining knowledge of Digivolution, the trio may get a bigger role as time goes by.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass / LetsGetDangerous: When they aren't being used for jokes, they are quite threatening.
* CustomUniform: Their original white uniforms were this. All other Team Rocket grunts wear black, but they wore white symbolizing how outlandish they were from the rest of the organization.
* DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster: They all ''love'' their jobs.
* {{Determinator}}s: No matter how many times they've been blasted off, they will never give up on trying to capture Pikachu.
* {{Drama Queen}}s: All three of them, seriously.
* {{Faceship}}: Their iconic Meowth hot-air balloon.
* FreudianExcuse: Jessie grew up in poverty while Meowth spent much of his life as a stray. While James in contrast was part of a well-off family, his parents were cruel to him and wanted to force him to get married.
* GenreSavvy: Despite their blundering, they do seem the most self aware of the show and its standard plot points. Some of their more competent moments also often come from anticipating the "twerps" and their Pokémon's usual retaliations. Hell, they are aware a lot of their plans would have gone on without a hitch if it weren't for them getting involved.
* HumongousMecha: They sometimes utilize ridiculous mecha robots to aid their nefarious deeds, though they are always destroyed by the plot's end, sending the trio blasting off.
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Team Rocket's motto that they recite in every episode.
* LightIsNotGood: Unlike most of the black outfitted members, they are the only ones ever dressed in white. Even Meowth's creamy-coloured fur references this trope.
* MadeOfIron: They actually credit their encounters with the protagonists and being blasted off to making them this.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: To test out the new digivices, Jesse and James were used as subjects by the rest of Team Rocket, namely Butch and Cassidy
* ShooOutTheClowns: Unlike how in "Best Wishes" they started to become serious and threatening (Prior to Decolora Adventures), the Team Rocket trio was DemotedToExtras when Ash and co. entered the Mon Wars. Although its still possible they'll be brought back into the spotlight once the Team Rocket organization gets more involved in the plot. So like Best Wishes, only with digimon being the PlotDevice and not an Unova pokemon.
* TerribleTrio: The iconic team!
* TrueCompanions: Have formed a strong bond with each other.
* ATwinkleInTheSky: ''"Looks like TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF [=AGAAAAaaaaiiiiinnn=]! [[AudibleGleam *Ding*]]''
* VitriolicBestBuds: They get snappy at each other on a daily basis but are close.

!!Cassidy and Butch

Two recurring agents of Team Rocket, Cassidy and Butch are far more competent than Jessie, James and Meowth and wear the tradition Team Rocket black uniform rather than the trio's white outfits. They were part of unleashing the sealed evolution, by breaking Giratina out of the Distortion World. They latter appeared, having used Jesse and James to test the Team Rocket's digivice on controlling shadow.

* AccidentalMisnaming: In a RunningGag, Butch is called the wrong name repeatedly - like Botch, Biff, Hutch, Bob and even [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]].
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: They were essentially versions of Jessie and James who were actually competent. Unlike Jesse and James, Butch and Cassidy were able to use the power of shadow with little problems.
* BreakingTheFourthWall
* ButtMonkey: Usually Butch.
* CardCarryingVillain: if their motto is anything to go by.
* CatchPhraseSpoutingDuo: An alternate version of the usual trio's motto.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Than the usual trio until ''Best Wishes''.
* HijackingCthulhu: Took control of the Legendary Birds!
* [[LargeHam Large Hams]]
* [[TheRival The Rivals]]: To Jessie, James and Meowth.
* TerribleTrio: Alongside their on-and-off TeamPet Raticate.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: They haven't been seen for a while now.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Butch.
