If Agumon got into Smash, what would be the Spirits? I think it would be like a Pokemon or Mega Man situation, where there are just so goddamn many to choose from.
At least, unlike Pokemon, Digimon has four main forms, so it would be really easy to determine how strong the Spirits should be. Rookie Digimon would be Novice Spirits, Champion Digimon would be Advanced Spirits, Ultimate Digimon would be Ace Spirits, and Mega Digimon would be Legendary Spirits. The number of Digimon that can fight outside their own weight class is extremely low, too, so there probably wouldn't be much variation in that.

Digimon isn’t even trying to be a Pokémon competitor anymore. The media they’re currently making is all targeting a significantly older audience than they used to.
My musician pageOkay, I'll theorize, I think it would be something like this:
- Garurumon (Advanced Level Defense Type) Enhances into MetalGarurumon (Legendary Level Defense Type)
- Birdramon (Advanced Level Attack Type) Enhances into Garudamon (Ace Level Attack Type)
- Tentomon (Novice Level Grab Type) Enhances into Kabuterimon (Advanced Level Grab Type)
- Gomamon (Novice Level Defense Type) Enhances into Ikkakumon (Advanced Level Defense Type)
- Togemon (Advanced Level Grab Type) Enhances into Lilymon (Ace Level Grab Type)
- Patamon (Novice Level Defense Type (weak for a Novice)) Enhances into Angemon (Advanced Level Defense Type (strong for an Advanced))
- Gatomon (Advanced Level Attack Type) Enhances into Angewomon (Ace Level Attack Type (strong for an Ace))
- Devimon (Advanced Level Attack Type)
- Myotismon (Ace Level Grab Type)
- Piedmon (Legendary Level Attack Type)
- Keramon (Novice Level Neutral Type) Enhances into Diaboromon (Legendary Level Neutral Type)
- Omnimon (Legendary Level Neutral Type)
- Numemon (Advanced Level Neutral Type (really weak for an Advanced))
And now I'm realizing that I totally forgot about Support Spirits, and half of those should be Support Spirits. Damnit.

Because it's nothing like Pokemon right?
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Ganondorf was manipulated by Tabuu, but in an Evil Is Not a Toy way. It's not like he didn't have evil motivations all along.
Okay, let me try again, but with half of these as Support Spirits:
- Garurumon (Advanced Level Defense Type) Enhances into MetalGarurumon (Legendary Level Defense Type)
- Birdramon (Advanced Level Support)
- Kabuterimon (Advanced Level Support)
- Gomamon (Novice Level Support)
- Palmon (Novice Level Support)
- Patamon (Novice Level Defense Type (weak for a Novice)) Enhances into Angemon (Advanced Level Defense Type (strong for an Advanced))
- Gatomon (Advanced Level Attack Type) Enhances into Angewomon (Ace Level Attack Type (strong for an Ace))
- Devimon (Advanced Level Attack Type)
- Myotismon (Ace Level Grab Type)
- Piedmon (Legendary Level Support)
- Keramon (Novice Level Neutral Type) Enhances into Diaboromon (Legendary Level Neutral Type)
- Omnimon (Legendary Level Attack Type)
- Numemon (Advanced Level Support)

Digimon hasn't been a serious competitor of Pokémon since about the early noughties. Nor does it try to be.

Ganondorf didnt need to blow up all the RO Bs but he did anyway, that’s all on him. It’s like when Tarkin blew up Alderaan, he didnt need to but he did it anyway for shits and giggles

He blew up all the R.O.B.S because that's how the bombs work, it would've happened eventually anyway but also to defeat the characters who were there.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Digimon as a franchise has more than Digimon Adventure. Pokemon gets franchise reps, not anime reps.
Making everything Digimon an Adventure reference is the shit Toei is pulling and Bandai is disregarding.
(Also, they are at around 1400 species now, so they kinda have Pokemon beaten in that specific department)
Yeah, but I was specifically saving the later Spirits in case they wanted to add a second Digimon rep from later in the franchise (I think Lucemon would be dope). Also, there's no way they're going to add any more than 16 Spirits with a DLC character, not considering the DLC character with the most Spirits currently is Byleth with 12 (not counting Fighter Spirits).
At least, not unless Bandai-Namco decides to do what SNK did with their music and just go absolute ham on one aspect of the DLC character. Then we might get Spirit representation rivaling Pokemon (157 Spirits) and Mega Man (57 Spirits, the most for any 3rd-party).

Decided to insert my copy of Ultimate into my Switch once again. If anyone wants to really know, here are my amiibo nicknames.
- Kirby (blue): Reina
- Jigglypuff (red): Inori
- Pokémon Trainer (Charizard) (female white): Ana
- Pit (green): Michael
- Robin (female red): Tilarna
- Marth (white): Schezo
- Mega Man (cyan and white): -Infinity
- Lucina (black): Agnamut
Obscure nickname choices, I know.
"You can't spell 'Wario' without 'war'."Limiting the spirits to Adventure (or even just anime) references would be a shame, as there's so much cool stuff you could reference with not just the games, but the franchise as a whole. And not just the Digimon themselves, there's humans too who could work as spirits (such as the Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory Protagonists who could easily fit Spirit Battles through a Yellow Roy and a Blue Joker respectively with three allies each)

Problem with your Joker idea is that in the DLC spirits, they dont use other DLC fighters as the spirit battles. I noticed this pattern

like pokemon has any competitors that even come close to it
digimon stopped being a pokemon competitor over a decade ago
