By Archetypes, I mean certain molds the various characters fit into. I don't know if they've been discussed to the extent the Goggle Head and Lone Wolf archetypes have been, or even if there are those at all.
For starters, there's the Goggle Head archetype, which (almost) always the main character with goggles who has a red/orange color scheme and a reptilian Digimon for a partner. Personality wise, they tend to be hotheads, but brave.
Adventures/tri.: Taichi and Agumon. The codifiers, from which most of the next few characters take inspiration from. They're the only one's to be the main protagonists for series (unless you count Xros Wars as three separate series)
Adventures 02: Daisuke and V-Mon. The only duo whose main color is blue.
Tamers: Takato and Guilmon.
Frontier: Takuya. He doesn't have a Digimon partner, but even so, he's one of only two main protagonists whose Digimon (or form in his case) is not reptilian in any way.
Savers: Masaru and Agumon. The only Goggle Head that lacks goggles. The nerve of this man. He's loud and proud, and isn't afraid to get into fighting Digimon. Unlike the others though, he has some family issues.
Xros Wars: Taiki and Shoutmon.
Young Hunters: Tagiru and Gumdramon.
App Monsters: Haru and Gatchmon. The only other one who's Digimon partner is not a reptile, though I'm not really sure what Gatchmon is supposed to be. A cat?
tri.: Special mention to Daigo and Bearmon. He seemed to be the goggle boy for the original Chosen Children.
Then there's the Lone Wolf/Lancer/Rival character archetype. Usually, they go off on their own, have a blue color scheme, and a canine-like Digimon partner. Though, of course, there's variance and a bit of questioning in regards to who fits where.
The one that sticks out to me is the, for lack of a better term, Sixth Ranger character (or would it be Eight Chosen Child?), ie the character that joins the main cast late and tend to have something special about them. It isn't as clear cut as the others though.

Adventures/tri.: Yamato and Gabumon. Like Tai and Agumon, they are the codifiers without much variance, though it should be noted that, unlike the others, Yamato starts as part of the main group, while still keeping the lone wolf characteristics.
Adventures 02: Ken and Wormmon. Some say Takeru and Patamon are this, but its obvious Ken is the closer pick. While his main color is black, and Wormmon isn't really a canine, he still goes off on his own and is the main ally of the Goggle Head, like a couple others on this list.
Tamers: Ruki and Renamon. The only girls on this list.
Frontier: Kouji. Like Takuya, he lacks a partner, but his Digimon forms are still canine in nature, though some with a but of humanoid mixed in.
Savers: Thoma and Gaomon.
Xros Wars: Kiriha and Greymon. Another one who lacks a canine partner, interestingly having a partner of the original Goggle Head. Though he keeps the blue color scheme.
Young Hunters: Ryouma and Psychemon. There's some debate over this, mostly because there is not a lot done with Ryouma, but he still counts. His color scheme is green.
App Monsters: Rei and Hackmon. Again, he lacks a blue Digivice, with his being black. Otherwise, he fits.

Adventures/tri.: Hikari and Tailmon.
Adventures 02: Ken and Wormmon. He kinda fits two archetypes, with being both a Sixth Ranger and a Lone Wolf.
Tamers: Ryo and Cyberdramon. Though he's not the last to become a Tamer, he's the last introduced, and is the only one of the "Extra Tamers" who reaches the Ultimate level.
Frontier: Kouichi.
Savers: Ikuto and Falcomon. Like Ryo, he's the last one introduced, and is the only one aside from the main cast who reaches the Burst Mode.
Xros Wars: Yuu and Damemon. Again, there's some debate, but I think he fits the mold the best.
Young Hunters: No one really fits into this. Maybe some of the one-offs, but they are too minor to count.
App Monsters:
Are there any others?
