Ginryumon and Sagitarimon are imo the best pre evos and GranDracmon and Gulfmon work really good in the Ultimate slot.

Dorugamon would also work nicely in terms of blue-black beast dragons, he also has like a dog snout and the coloration makes me think Gaogamon.
in that vein the bladed doggos i think work all with him too, CresGarurumon, AncientGarurumon, MirageGaogamon and Mercurymon.

I wish Zanmetsumon's art was more golden like his sprite.
MutantLucemon SM makes a nice parallel to Ouryumon.

Some Zanmetsumon evolution lines, im not convinced with deathdorugamon, i was about to change it for sangloupmon because of the blades he has that could turn into swords when evolves, also the colors worked pretty well but in the end i choose deathdorugamon for some reason.
Greymon2010 works decently and also has a knife on its tail matching the sword tail of zanmetsu. Also really love Gaossmon for that line, tiny reptile with giant mouth, Zanmetsumon preserves the giant mouth and reptile traits from him.
Blackimperialdra fighter just aesthetically worked for me, you can say he is a dark/evil dragon man that uses a sword to fight, also he has a second mouth on his chest.

These are old but never uploaded here, nothing spectacular, i really like the Bombermon - Noblepumpmon, since the last also uses bombs in one of his attacks so thematically they work, also they are doing the same pose with their hands, so i like to imagine thats how they detonate their bombs.
Bombermon to Vulcanusmon is basically as if bombermon improved his skills and now creates all kind of weapons not just bombs. The Flawizarmon and Candlemon work pretty well too.

With Angoramon BE Memory lineup (and some recent infos), I start to change my opinion on Gammamon BEM. That, all 4 new Perfects besides Canoweissmon and Regulusmon are also Gammamon's orthodox evolutions. Including the suspicious bean-mon Bombermon, which thematically fits for a V-pet.

The "three horns" (literal or not) in every digimon in Gammamon BEM (with the exception the Adventure route) is like the "blue flesh" in every armor digimon in D3 Ver.1 V-mon. They are all Gammamon's and V-mon's evolutions.

*yeah, we know that every Adventure 02 partners has as many armor forms as V-mon but the blue flesh in V-mon's is what makes his armors more orthodox and less random.

Gammamon evolutionary colors are white, black, and RGB.
Canoweismon is white. Regulusmon is black. Fumamon is blue. Ghilliuedhumon is green. Zanmetsumon is blue and black. Bombermon is white (maybe the explosion of his tech will be RGB). Siriusmon and Arcturusmon are white and black respectively, and the clearer image of Proximamon tells us that he is white and black.

I think other people have pointed it out, but it does feel like they're designing a few mons lately that deliberatly borrow from and bridge several pre-existing Digimon. Not sure How I feel about Zanmetsu though. Maybe it's the colours or the rendering style, but something is a little off about him.

Anyways, I thought this worked as an App-Xros hybrid:

Do you think the franchise is becoming Pokemonified?

I find Zanmetsumon hideous.

Before the reveal of LaMortmon's Mega, I was headcanoning his Mega as Regulumon.

In what way do you mean? If you mean smoothing out evolution lines then no. They still look like Digimon, and the designs I was talking about still don't look like they belong to any one specific mon. It was more an observation than a critcism. (Though there are stringer examples of that in say, Hackmon or Vorvomon.)

I don't think he looks great, but there have been plenty of times in the past I haven't been too taken with a Digimon on paper, but changed my tune once I saw them in action in a game or show, so who knows.

That'd be a good fit. He's got the feral beast look of Lamort, but the gentle giant vibe of Angora.

I really wonder why they give 7 holy digimon for young character in group
TK/Takeru Seraphimon
Kari/Hikari Ophanimon
Cody/Iori ClavisAngemon/SlashAngemon
Suzie/Shuchong Cherubimon


Kristy/Chika Based on it evolution, Piyomon>Aquilamon(horn) i think it could end up being Valdurmon
Riku (Ghost Game) If they give it evolution i think Rasielmon fit with Pucchiemon.
Maybe they also could give Ren(Xros Wars) angel digimon too, Dracmon>Yaksamon>Kyukimon>SlashAngemon

The only thing about the new digimon is that they are all a bit overdesigned for its level maybe?I have struggle making lines where them evolving into Mega doesn't look like a downgrade,specially Zanmetsumon

Savers Piyomon’s Baby was Puwamon (usually associated with the Falcomon line, who’s Mega is Valdurmon), and Perfect was Garudamon (who’s usual Mega is a different holy bird), so I reckon it works!

could be a fun challenge, start with a complex child stage and let it become simpler over time.

young kids are usually symbolic of being full of pure light in fantasy stories. I don't know about later series but the original Adventure definitely had that symbolism of child innocence = pure. There's also the practical side of the youngest kids needing the strongest digimon to protect them as they're disadvantaged to older kids

I thought of this,but I don't know what could be a really overdesigned rookie to be honest.
I feel like Jazamon slots in nicely

In your opinion, if Wormmon, Terriermon, Lopmon were 02's chosen digimons from the start and each of them could only have 1 digimental, what Digimental would they have? And what digimental will Veemon, Hawkmon, Armadimon have if only 1?

I mean only 8 original crest.
And how will Wormmon, Terriermon, Lopmon evolve? (I don't mind if you just choose normal adult digimon)

I would have included Kindness here, but you're right, the writers seem to treat it inconsistently within the franchise regarding where it ranks amongst the original 8.

If I had to choose, I'd think Wormmon would be Light. Namely because I headcanon a fairy line, but the line I crafted for him works in keeping with achieving Nirvana, so Light.

Terriermon would be Sincerity or Knowledge. Lopmon would be Love

Hawkmon = Knowledge or Courage.

Veemon = Reliability or Hope.

Armadillomon = Reliability, Hope or Friendship.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before,but with the new Gammamon DimCard showing Dracumon evolving into Publimon I thought that it was actually pretty cool.
