This is something that is usually discussed in several forums and sites around the Internet for years. Sometimes, when you are recommended to watch a new Digimon series, some questions arise and one of the most common ones is to what extent I should watch till I get to know if this season in...

While editing the article of the Arcade Game of the Super Digica Taisen TCG on Wikimon (which by the way it seems to be a different one than the Digimon X Arena), I have just recall a timeline which was exhibited during the "Digimon Adventure: The Real World" event which displayed all the TCG...
