I was one of those kids that was too cool for Pokemon so I watched Digimon instead, and yeah, liked it a lot back in the day. It was really cool how the story progressed and got pretty serious. I do distinctly remember getting upset about how the English dub made the final Adventure boss a joke; I suppose I was online enough at the time to know the dub was making changes.
I didn't like 02 as much. I watched through the DarkWarGreymon arc at least, but I definitely didn't watch the final episodes, only hearing about what happened after. Now I do remember that Fox Kids for some reason heavily pushed this one western-themed episode, with a "The Good, the Bad, and the Digi Marathon" or something. What caught my attention in the promo was Sora in a tennis skirt, which made my preteen / early teen self go
.
I came back for Tamers, which I found interesting. I think I missed a chunk in the middle, but I was there for the ending arc.
Frontier changed networks, I think. In any case, I mostly stopped watching by this point, since I wasn't interested in the new characters or premise. No Digimon partners, no go, basically. I caught some bits of the second half, where the two leads were doing everything but still getting their asses kicked and the other leads just stood by. I also remember a sequence where everyone's destroying these cages using the first-level evolution, but the girl can't so she goes to the second level, and that was a pretty ugh moment even at that age.
Haven't watched anything else Digimon, until the first two episodes of Tri, and I stopped after that.
