Kinda retarted, there was a PIG who digivolved into an Angel! I was like WTF?!

...you're posting on a board devoted to a franchise where, among other things, tiny fish can evolve into giant red octopi, and somewhere along the way your thought process said to you "boy howdy, this is a terrific post to make!"?

Really? Really?

Keep up the good work.

Man, I used to love watching Digimon! I stopped watching it after the third series due to the replacement of the original characters. Tai was my favourite along with Agumon. Ill never forget the first time I saw him Digivolve into War Greymon, it was epic!!!

Official sites have launched. I can't read the moon language so I don't know that there's anything particularly interesting on them at the moment.

Larger version of the promo image

"Xros Wars" is in fact the official spelling, pronounced "Cross Wars". The combinermabobber in back is apparently "Shoutmon X4" (read as "Shoutmon Cross 4"). The goggle boy's name is Taiki Kudo and as previously noted, his partner is Shoutmon.

Wow, the new kid is called Taiki. That's absolutely nothing like Taichi.

But it sounds good! And I have high expectations since the word "tamers" was capitalised!

Xros Wars does sound interesting, but I'm a bit worried at how it seems Taich-- I mean, Taiki seems to be the only human main. I wonder if they're going to add other Tamers (never thought I would see that word in a new season) and if they, too, will become just as important...

I think there will be more main tamers in Xros Wars, as that has been the Digimon formula for years and it would be strange to change it now.

i thought it was confirmed that their would be other humans besides taiki.

Yeah, that's true. It's just that so far we've only seen one instead of three or more like I would expect promos and the website to have. Gives off the feeling that Taiki is the most important one with all his digimon pals behind him. I'm hoping for more, nonetheless, it wouldn't be the same without human interaction.

Does anyone know if previous promo pictures and sites showed more than one human right in the beginning? I think Savers did it, but I'm not totally sure.

If there was, I must of missed it. xD The only hint seems to be the word "Tamers".

I just hope there's little to no "Real World" aspect to this season. The best part of each season was when the main characters had to live in the Digital World. That aspect was very short-loved in 02, Tamers, and Data Squad, but it was definitely the most defining moment of each season.

I guess many of you didn't like the manga where there was initially only one real tamer saving the world? It had a different version of Taichi too. This sounds kinda similar to it but the rest of the tamers were on the side of evil for a while at least.

From the looks of the official poster, the art..style... thingy (whatever it's called) is similar to Digimon Savers' style. From the translated magazine text, I think it would be safe to assume that this Digimon season will have some kind of rock and roll theme which I think will be interesting to see how it turns out. I gotta say though, I'm not too thrilled about Shoutmon's appearance.

It looks like after the shenanigans of Frontier, and the non-goggleness of DDS, Digimon is going back to basics.

Reading the text from the magazine scan, it looks like, aside from the goggle boy, it's doing nothing of the sort. Did I miss where the first five series had their human characters controlling "armies of Digimon" including sets that appear to combine four-into-one to larger forms?

Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01, right?

I've only read some of it, but I can't remember if I liked it or not. But, I did like and was interested in Digimon Next.

I own the 5th gen
V-Tamer 01 is pretty good, but I only skimmed through it years ago (I didn't actually read it because, at the time, I didn't know near as much Japanese as I do now and only the first couple volumes had been scanlated). For the record, while a single Tamer is featured as the protagonist, there are other Tamers in the series (though they mainly act as antagonists). It's also worth noting that evolution is (for the most part) permanent in this one, much as it is in the original V-pets which it very heavily takes after.

If anyone else was studious on the original V-pet releases, I find it worth noting that V-dramon is a Digimon introduced for the sake of the manga, and in the story, it was treated as some kind of special glitched Digimon. However, they later included V-dramon (and Aero V-dramon) in the Digimon Pendulum LCD series (to be specific, Pendulum 4: Wind Guardians). From what I understand, the Digimon Pendulums were just coming out by the time the manga was first being made (the first chapter even has Taichi doing a little product-placement for them). In spite of this, Pendulums 1-5 all seem to be alluded to in the story (most notably in the crests that Taichi collects).

Tamers (never thought I would see that word in a new season)

strange how only one (thus far) series of the anime has used that term to describe the "people with Partner Digimon", in spite of the fact that it's fairly prominent almost everywhere else in the franchise (the Ryou games that take place in the Adventure universe even used "Tamer" in their titles, and possibly in-story, oddly enough).

Well except it takes place in Japan where it would be perfectly logical that a card game alone would be enough. Then again the Japanese version also talks about there being "video games." So it's possible there wasn't a TV show and the card game came about solely because of the popularity of the video games themselves.

funnily enough, Tamers showed Jenrya getting excited when his father brought back an American Digimon game. Rather odd considering the only Digimon games released in the west are a select number of localized console/portable games (most prominently the Digimon World and Digimon Story series) filled with typo-ridden translations, and a very limited number of LCD toys that seem like a hollow shell of their Japanese counterparts. If an American Digimon game can be THAT good, then either Jenrya's some kind of import enthusiast (well, he does seem like a bit of an otaku), or this MUST be an alternate version of our world's Digimon media. 'Course, the fact that we don't (to my knowledge) have a game where you can play as Terriermon fighting Gorimon in a desert is probably enough indication of that.

It was pretty good and slowly had the main hero turn all the antagonists into protagonists by defeating them and lots of moral lessons I remember somewhat.
Ulforce V-dramon was introduced in this manga and became a Royal Knight that showed up in Savers.
Digimon Next had lots of concepts used in Savers speaking of down to the same exact digivice. But they never used Z-cannon Garurumon or Victory Greymon in the anime.

I agree that it'll be something along the lines of Saver's, but Rock and Roll theme? That's strange, what made you assume it would have that theme? It might have some sort of music theme due to the headphones on several characters on the poster, but I'm not sure if Rock would be my first choice. It's a little too early to assume that since there's hardly any information on Digimon Xros Wars yet.

I'm not too thrilled about Shoutmon's appearance but I guess it takes some getting used to. I usually judge characters by their actions anyway and Shoutmon has yet to appear.

Well season 6 is season 6. I'd rather not see people judge it before it comes out, and besides I'm sure it'll be interesting.
