Introduction
Welcome to the Digimon Community Official Thread.
Digimon, short for Digital Monster started in Japan in 1997 as a Virtual Pet, a Tamagotchi that can battle other Tamagotchi's.
ANIME
Digimon Adventure
Digimon: Digital Monsters also known as Digimon Adventure in Japan. It first aired in 1999 in both the west and Japan.
7 Kids are at Summer Camp in Japan. All around the world, weird weather has been happening which results in snow during summer camp. The 7 kids took this great opportunity to play in the snow, build some snowmen and lament about how they can't connect to the internet on their laptop.
Suddenly though, small digital devices rained down from the sky and shortly after they were transported to the Digital World, not knowing what was in store for them.
They are the Digidestined!
Digimon Adventure 02
This is Digimon Adventure 02 also known as the second season of Digimon: Digital Monsters.
3 years after the final battle against Apocalymon, a new enemy has appeared except this time the Enemy is human. Joined by 3 new Digidestined, Kari and TK (aka Hikari and Takeru) pick up their devices and with a new way of Digivolving, they take action against the boy only known as The Digimon Emperor.
Digimon Tamers
Digimon Tamers also known as the third season of Digimon: Digital Monsters and the first to be set in a different Universe from the first two seasons.
In this Universe, Digimon is a franchise which is all about merchandising, sort of like the real world really. The biggest merchandise being the card game which the main character is really into.
One day, our protagonist, a young boy finds a mysterious blue card that he tries to swipe in his card reader which somehow changes it into a strange Digital Device. One that is almost like a card reader.
Thanks to this new Digivice, he is able to see his own Digimon creation come to life but he has no idea what he has been drawn into as the newest Digimon Tamer.
This is the story of the Digimon Tamers.
Digimon Frontier
This is Digimon Frontier also known as the fourth season of Digimon. This season is particularly controversial due to the fact that the main characters do not have partners and instead are able to transform into Digimon themselves through Spirit Evolution, a new form of evolution just for Frontier.
In this season, our protagonists each receives a message which leads them to a train station with a lot of trains. By getting on this train, they end up in the Digital World. What will happen to our protagonists as they learn the secrets of Spirit Evolution?
Digimon Savers
This is Digimon Savers aka Digimon Data Squad in the west. This season is notable for a major art style change compared to previous seasons.
In this series, Digimon are known amongst the government who have set up DATS, short for the Digital Accident and Tactics Squad (or Digimon Data Squad in English) in order to deal with threats posed by Digimon who have somehow entered the real world.
They deal with Digimon by fighting them and turning them back into DigiEggs via destroying them and once back into DigiEggs, are sent back to the Digital World where once they hatch, won't remember anything about what they did before they were turned into a DigiEgg.
This season starts with the fateful encounter between a Street Fighter known as Masaru Daimon (or Marcus Damon) and an escaped Agumon.
Digimon Xros Wars
Digimon Xros Wars (Xros is pronounced cross) is the sixth entry of the Digimon anime franchise, known in the US as Digimon Fusion and elsewhere as Digimon Fusion Battles.
In this season, a boy named Taiki, along with friends Akari and Zenjiro, were taking a break after school when, all of a sudden, odd distortions begin causing havoc in the city. Suddenly, he hears a call for help. When he "connects" with the sound, another strange voice comes to give him a Xros Loader to save it. The three friends are dragged into the Digital World, where they encounter the owner of the voice, Shoutmon.
Digimon Xros Wars: The Boy Hunters Who Leapt Through Time
This is Digimon Xros Wars: The Boy Hunters Who Leapt Through Time also known as Digimon Fusion: Season 3.
This season is part of Digimon Xros Wars however many consider it to be a new season due to it's similarities to Digimon Adventure 02 aka new protag and such.
Again, I welcome contributions for this section and the translation guide section (assuming it is needed) otherwise I'll update this section once I have researched it more and/or watched the series myself.
Digimon Adventure Tri
This is Digimon Adventure Tri, the 3rd and final season of Digimon Adventure except it's not a season sadly. It's a set of 6 OVAs/Movies.
(more information will be added after Tri 6 is out)
Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters:
Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters (often referred to as Appmon for short) is the 8th and most recent Digimon television series, and represented an effort to retool the franchise for a new generation of fans. The series features a heavier focus on AI, and the monsters in the series are all based around smartphone apps in some way.
The series features Haru, a bookish boy who doesn't believe he has what it takes to be a protagonist type character, who teams up with an aspiring idol named Eri, the energetic Apptuber Astra, and the brooding hacker Rei who join with their Buddy Appmon and fight against the sinister AI Leviathan, which will surpass humanity by the year 2045.
MOVIES
Digimon Adventure
This is the first Digimon movie which aired in Japan on March the 6th 1999, 1 day before the anime started airing in Japan and serves as a prequel to the anime series.
It stars a young Taichi and Hikari (aka Tai and Kari) as they have their first encounter with a Digimon and are put on track to becoming the future Digidestined
Digimon Adventure: Our War Game!
This is the second Digimon movie that happens sometime after the battle against Apocalymon but before Digimon Adventure 02
It has cameos of many of the Digidestined but primarily focuses on Tai, Izzy, Matt and TK as they fight on the internet against against Diaboromon to protect Japan and the world from being destroyed.
Digimon Adventure 02: Digimon Hurricane Touchdown!! / Supreme Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals
This is a two part movie set in the Adventure 02 timeline before the end of the series.
They are probably the movies with the most issues as many things shown in them don't fit with the timeline of the series and include many inconsistencies along with animation errors and so on.
In this movie, Kari and TK are visiting Mimi in America when she suddenly disappears, and not long after they meet another Digidestined who seems to have an idea of what is going on.
Digimon: The Movie
This is the American-edited Digimon movie that edits the first 3 movies together and changes a lot to make them all fit each other as one long running storyline. involving Willis.
Some of the changes include Willis being the one who caused Diaboromon to run rampant on the internet and getting rid of the whole Mimi and the older Digidestined disappearing in the Adventure 02 movie.
The movie has a great soundtrack even if you dislike the movie itself.
Digimon Adventure 02: Revenge of Diaboromon
The final Adventure 02 movie known in Japan as Digimon Adventure 02: Diablomon Strikes Back.
It focuses on the return of Diaboromon aka Diablomon as he decides to wreck havoc on the internet again including sending smaller baby Digimon to the real world through the use of peoples phones and e-mail addresses
Digimon Tamers: Battle of Adventurers
The first Digimon movie not set in the Adventure universe and is instead set in the Tamers universe where the biggest dreamers live.
I will add more to this once I refresh my memory on this movie (or someone can submit a nice quick synopsis for me to add here)
Digimon Tamers: Runaway Locomon
The second tamers movie known in Japan as Digimon Tamers: Runaway Digimon Express.
This movie takes place after the end of the anime. The Tamers are planning to throw Rika a surprise party but their plans are put on hold as they have to deal with a train Digimon called Locomon causing trouble in the city.
Digimon Frontier: Island of Lost Digimon
This movie is the first and only Frontier movie.
Again, I haven't watched this movie so I'll do some research on it when I get the chance. (or again, someone can help me out with it)
Digital Monster X-Evolution
This movie is diffrent from all previous movies as it does not take place in any previous anime continuity, does not have humans in it at all and is done entirely using CG Animation.
I'll fill this in at a later time.
Digimon Savers: Ultimate Power! Activate Burst Mode!!
The first and only movie set during Digimon Savers.
The plot revolves around Agumon, Lalamon and Gaomon who are on their own as all humans in the city including their partners are put into an eternal sleep due to some mysterious thorns
