[MarcFBR]

A bit ago, the official Digimon site put up a poll for Favorite Digimon Added to Reference Book in 2022 (Part 2).

Recently the poll closed and we have the results!




And the winner is... Siriusmon!

Thank you for all your votes!
37 Digimon were added in 2022, of the 18 between Snatchmon to Siriumosn in the second part, who was the top vote for the favorite?

It was Siriusmon!


Released on the reference book immediately after it's spectacular appearance in the TV anime Digimon Ghost Game, it got an overwhelming number of votes for it's impact and coolness.

2nd place was ShineGreymon: Ruin Mode, combining the coolness of ShineGreymon and darkness, having evolved due to anger in the 2006 anime Digimon Savers.

3rd place went to ShineMonzaemon, who evolved to Ultimate after 25 years in the Vital Bracelet BE Digital Monster 25th Anniversary Set.

By the way, which Digimon among the 37 added in 2002 was your favorite?

The original Evolution Vote results were recently announced, as was the Digimon Con T-Shirt vote.

The poll for 'Favorite Digimon Added to Reference Book in 2022 (Part 1)' had results announced a bit ago.

The first round of Evolution Vote 2 is currently open!

 

[Muur]

Protag bias coming in clutch, geeze. 3 of the top 5 of the overall being Gammamons is ehhh too.

 

[Bancho]

Siriusmon is very lame for me to see when Ruin Mode, Imperialdramon Black, and Bemmon's evolutions waited so long to be added and Monzaemon waited 25 years for a mega (even if I don't personally like it).
Man, and GreyKnightsmon feels underrated too.
Siriusmon is just UlforceWarGreymon, I don't hate it but would I rank it above the other heavy hitters? Not a chance

 

[Geode]

Yes, my favorite mega wins.

 

[e105zeta]

Shin Monzaemon made third! And the highest non Protagonist! Woo!

My thoughts exactly. All the more disappointing that it even wins the combined poll by a pretty wide margin.

I am tempted to say that it's another case of anime-only tourists swaying everything, but if that were the case, nobody would be giving a shit about Black Fighter Mode, Ragnamon, and some other high-placers.

This thing of complaining about the siriusmon anime bias is stupid, it is like you can't vote a guy that you like because you found it cool in the recent anime, the only vote that should count is the ones that only count design and old anime appearences, independent of how much you like the anime dude, and if you like him is because you are an anime only watcher bla bla

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

This results is really huge shock to me.

Siriusmon- 28%?! Already tripled over my dear DESTROMON?!! DAMN But I gotta admit having Exia weapons is epic still... :/

ShineGreymon Ruin Mode got 2nd for 13%?! I thought Ruin Mode wasn't very popular??? Right...? How?!

ShinMonzaemon got 10%... Quite... Impressive for 3rd. I really didn't expect that to get such popular.

Destromon and Snatchmon got same equal 5%? Nice at least I view it as 10% to get equal with ShinMonzaemon. In other words, it's "3rd place".

All others got really really roughly "same" or less 4%... My huge guess, fans were struggling to vote due to those new ones are really very impressive and new fresh ones but it was very hard decision to vote. IMO I vote Fumamon after voted Destromon...

Oleamon got some nice votes. Shockingly Publimon isn't popular I guess he was really huge jerk.

Siriusmon is very lame for me to see when Ruin Mode, Imperialdramon Black, and Bemmon's evolutions waited so long to be added and Monzaemon waited 25 years for a mega (even if I don't personally like it).

BEMmon's line cannibalized its own voting, you can bet that a solid percentage of people who voted one member of the line would have voted for another member if only one had been present (not 100% of the people who voted for any given one, but a lot of them).

You do realize that the main reason Omegamon remains #1 has nothing to do with its design and everything to do with where and how it debuted and the results from that, right.

Yes, but the problem isn't a Digimon being liked for anime appearence but what the franchise does with that, and for now siriusmon made nothing.

People saw siriusmon appearence, found it cool, liked him because of that, that is it, there isn't anything wrong with that, they shouldn't not vote on siriusmon because they like it because of the anime and there is no surprise on someone voting him over digimons that basically just got one or two arts and a description in a website. People tastes are very much defined by the appearences and roles that a Digimon got in a media, design and profiles are simply not enough for majoraty of people.

 

[HeavyLeomon]

People saw siriusmon appearence, found it cool, liked him because of that

Siriusmon is the main character final evolution, people just like every single MC of digimon.
In this poll you have:
-MC from the current show in his definitive evolution.
-MC from the current show in his edgy stage.
-MC from the current show in his almost definitive evolution.
And then you have some interesting votes. If ghost game wasnt a thing and the gammamons were just a monster from the vb we all know these three woudlnt be there, one of them? sure, they are still designs that appeal average digimon fan likes (humanoid dragons), but the three of them in the top 5? No.

Still pissed for Hysteric mode having 0%, i could have voted for her but i dont care about these polls, the results are always cringe to me and my vote wouldnt change anything.
So happy for Bemmon line being high, maybe will encourage them to bring back some game exclusive mons, would love to see Chronomon and the Grimmons in the 2023 poll.
ShinMonzaemon is also cool, I would also love if this lead to add more new evolutions for old mons, maybe an ultimate Gekomon now?

Again is there a problem with that? You talk like people should only vote like all the digimons were just random mons that didn't appeared in anything, and don't vote for any reason in special like being the new mc mon.

This is a popularity pool and people vote what they think are their favorites in the pool, if they consider their favorite because of being the new MC mon and did not vote for other mons, it is their tastes and their choises.

And besides, this thing of this digi wouldn't won if wasn't for that could be applied to any of the digimons, would imperialdramon FM Black be in second if he still mantained his original bland design? Or if he wasn't the variation of another mc mon? Would shinegreymon rm would be in second/fifty if he wasnt the dark evolution of one of the anime seasons? Any digimon, no any character can be popular or not be popular depending of the course of actions.

This whole situation is stupid becuase basically tries to complain of how popularity works and always has worked, and instead tries to make popularity works in way that any random should won independent of how or if is used.

 

[progzoohex]

Imperialdramon FM Black in second place overall. Now bandai give him support in the tcg that makes his deck consistent.

Still happy to see Plutomon that high. Survive did him good. I am also proud of Shinmonzaemon being so high. Ranking over a greymon is no easy feat.

 

[Unknown Neo]

Surprise for #3 but hey, the rest seem obvious. A bit sad for some but obvious for most.

 

[Geode]

Siriusmon has like the coolest design I’ve ever seen after Blitzgreymon, Omnimon Alter-S, Slayerdramon, Dorugoramon, Kazuchimon, Hexablaumon, Shinegreymon, Apollomon, and Jesmon.

 

[BeelzebumonBlastMode]

Its depressing how many we had added in 2022 compared to 2021. 37 compared to 105... almost 3x as many...

I hope this years better.

 

[HeavyLeomon]

If this situation is stupid then dont start it?

This is a popularity pool and people vote what they think are their favorites in the pool

And this is a thread about that Poll Results, naturally people come here to give their opinion about those results, maybe you should give your opinion about the results instead of trying to "correcct" other people opinions.

 

[Vande]

That bickering can stop right now before I start to hand out suspensions.
