I was inspired by Digimon Survives release to start a hub for one of my favorite monster collector series ever: Digimon!
Digimon has been a special interest of mine since I was a wee little German lad in 2000. I genuinely adore everything about it: the designs, the v-pets, the cards, the figures, EVERYTHING! I was one of those kids that was called weird and dumb for liking Digimon and Pokemon equally back in the day, kids were always so cruel pfft.
Anyways! If you enjoy Digimon, feel free to talk about it here! Talk about your own experiences with the franchise, your favorite Digimon, your favorite season of the anime; as long as its Digimon related you're free to gab!
I'll start: like I said before i've been into Digimon since 2000. I've seen the Digimon Movie multiple times as well as the original Japanese OVAs thanks to 2000s era shady anime sub sites. I've been collecting the cards from both the original and modern card games nowadays and now my binder is fit to burst (truth be told I enjoy the card aesthetics of the original card game more than the modern game. The modern ccg is great but i'm such a sucker for the blue and yellow of the original ccg). I have multiple v-pets, 6 completed gunpla models (Dukemon, Omnimon X-Antibody, BlackWarGreymon, MetalGarurumon, Diaboromon, and Angewomon), a few of the old Digivolution toys, a vintage Gargomon figure, capsule miniatures, aaaaaand a Digimon Vital Bracelet with all the Ghost Game DiM Cards

Fun lil icebreaker question: what's one of your favorite Digimon Lines?
I'm a big fan of the entire Lopmon line (Virus Aligned) and the Diaboromon line!

I REALLY like the Dorumon line, always have been a close favorite of mine. Oh and also Impmon and his line has a special place in my heart thanks to Digimon Tamers

I'm absolutely obsessed with Digimon Adventure and Adventure 02. For me it was always about the human characters and how emotional bonds triggered the evolutions. I recently rewatched Digimon Adventure and all the emotional beats I remembered from my childhood didn't hit as hard on my, like, 7th rewatch. But Home Away From Home is a fantastic episode and might be one of my favorite anime episode overall. I'm interested in rewatching 02 to see if the drama there hits any differently. Though the ending to the Adventure characters feels so basic. But I get it, it's a kids show.
That's why I was so interested in playing Digimon Survive. As I said, the mons don't interest me as much, I like the gameplay, bur I really hope the story is really good. It's definitely a slow burner, I feel like I played for hours and I'm still not past the prologue. I'm still getting all the characters together, which should be episode 3? I'm very excited in the actual heavy plot that hopefully starts after episode 4 according to spoiler warning warnings. I like the characters though.

Gabumon line is my favourite because it’s the only Digimon thing i can remember other than the theme song. Pokemon kinda wiped away most Digimon stuff in my brain. Should i rewatch?
Nice to know though that Digimon can happen in the real world via virtual pet sites like FR tho. Pokemon can never be real, but Digimon can!
Edit: GABUMON IS BALD HE’S NOT ACTUALLY A WOLF PUP LIKE I THOUGHT HE’S WEARING A COAT MF IS BALD

I love my digglemons! I'm sad to say I haven't kept up with the anime much, apparently they completely redid the 1st season and are working on some kind of sequel or reimagining for something for the 2nd season? Not to mention there's some completely new season out too. Ghost game I think it's called?
Either way, I think my fave line is patamon! Although there are quite a few other lines I like, too.
I want to try Digimon: Survive but I'm gonna wait for it to go on sale, first.

I saw the digimon movie when I was very small, like 3-5? the [s]facehugger[/s] koromon scared me as a kid rofl
but when i was 8-ish I stayed in afterschool classes (place kids stay at til 5 or whenever their parents are able to come pick them up) and we had those mini tvs on wheelstands and tons of vhs tapes, one of them being the digimon movie, and the moment I recognized koromon I knew I had seen it before but my memory of it was pretty much only limited to that one scene, so I rewatched the whole movie and LOVED it so much, I pretty much rewatched it every single time the boys begged for the movie to be shown... digimon among with spirited away were two of those movies I couldn't get enough of.
Rewatched it on youtube just a couple of years ago for nostalgia and boy was it nostalgic alright, and so many funny jokes too, I love it, it isn't as kiddy as I thought it'd be. I'm not a fan of anime so I expected that I'd dislike it when I decided to rewatch it as an adult but I was so wrong, I loved every bit of it.

YESSSS BALD BOY
I love in the anime when Gabumon takes his pelt off so Matt can stay warm and hes all embarrassed about it. Gabumon might actually be my favorite of the first Digidestined Digimon.
