Welp,the connections I thought for the new digimon are:
Fusamon
into:Xiaomon

Loogamon
into:Sangloupmon,Fangmon,Garurumon X,Dorugamon,DexDorugamon

Luxmon
from:Cupimon
into:
Pidmon,D'arcmon,Pucchiemon,Angemon,Unimon,Gargoylemon

ArkhaiAngemon
from:
Pidmon,D'arcmon,Birdramon,Angemon,Unimon,Kinkakumon
into:
Dominimon,ClavisAngemon,Ophanimon,OphanimonFM,Valkirymon,Lotusmon,Venusmon,Junomon,Jupitermon,GraceNovamon

I would imagine Loogamon having a new wolf with swords/blades line like this.

 

[DPTronazel]

I would imagine Loogamon having a new wolf with swords/blades line like this.

TiaLudomon can also fit as a alternate Champion (Adult) for Loogamon.
Loogamon's In-Training (Baby II) and Fresh (Baby I) looks like they would be used for alternatives for Gaomon.

graphic guide for the connection I made up there:
Fusamon line(he's just like me fr ):

Loogamon adults:

Luxmon line of pink digimon:

Luxmon tree:

Arkhangemon with Ophanimons on fire:

Arkhangemon red digimon with wings line:

Arkhangemon with phoenixes and with Valkyrimon:

Arkhangemon with some Olimpus and with Kinkakumon:

Arkhangemon with Lotusmon(white dress and a staff):

Arkhangemon into Crimson mode:

And the new ghost game episode made me think of a resemblance between Archnemon and Quartzmon:

And last but not least,what do you think of this Baihumon line?
I always loved Labramon-Siesamon-Caturamon but didn't like Baihumon as the Ultimate because I didn't like how Caturamon and Baihumon looked together, but recently I noticed Baihumon looks really good with Labramon and Siesamon, with the white and a bright colour fur,and Siesamon being a good transition between a dog and a cat,but Caturamon armor breaks the aesthetic connection of the primaly white fur with another colour, and also returns to dog, making the Siesamon transition from dog to cat useless, also not looking so good with Baihumon.I know Caturamon is a Baihumon follower wich makes the line functioning,but I wanted to use something else and I think Splashmon Darkness mode fits,Labramon-Siesamon-Caturamon-Baihumon still will be a cool and kind of official line but I like this alternative:

nobody else has pointed out yet that Luxmon flows nicely into Gatomon as well?

Spoiler: wait, no, don't click this-

edit: a Korean Twitter user put together this evolution line and I liked it a lot. They posted a visual showing similarities in their faces so I put them in a more conventional evolution chart:

Fixed it for you.

is it just me or Loogamon completly unnecessary? we got blue doggos covered pretty good and virus doggos get Gazimon (+Gabumon B.).
the only thing it might better fit would be Sangloupmon (and whatever it´s own line is)

you're entirely correct that it doesn't fill a niche we were missing but there's been a lot of digimon in this franchise's history you could also view that way

It makes me think that the designers remembered that winged sabertooth cat that was originally meant to be Dorumon and used it as a base but changed it to be a canine instead.

Wished we got a feline Rookie (Child) Digimon was introduced among the new DIM stuff, we finally got a angel Rookie that isn't Lucemon now how about a cat that can connect to the three Champion cats and can be used for any of the big cats Digimon.

Depends on what his evolution line is gonna look like, Child-level Digimon are always pretty meh.

I did see someone point out that it forms an Attribute Triad with Dorumon and Ryudamon.
Though I guess it didn't have to be a wolf. I've always thought a flying fox would make a good Rookie.
And given that DORUmon is almost an Agumon/Gabumon archetype amalgam, perhaps that makes it doubly redundant.

 

[Tarama]

While we might see Loogamon ends up jogressing with a dragon (a very usual trope) I would like to see if Loogamon and Herrismon are partners (in terms of jogress) like Dorumon and Ryudamon. Beast and beast. Dragon and dragon.

Herrismon is in the Loogamon Dim and that's a perfect opportunity to release the mon.

Still, it is too early to speculate because we might get another form of three-jogress of Ryudamon, Dorumon, Loogamon. The prototypes.

Or, Loogamon could become a cannon or booster or something to Alphamon/Alphamon Ouryuken.

Or vice versa, Loogamon would have an Ultimate that can hold Ouryuken and Dorugorahou/Dorugoracannon.
Dorugoramon evolves from a digimon based on cannon ball anyway so it somehow would be nice if Dorugoramon can be a great weapon, like Ouryumon.

Someone pointed out in reddit that Impmon could be a fallen Luxmon and, I thought that worked perfectly with my D'arcmon headcanon of her being related to Witchelny digimon,and being the counterpart of Witchmon(these two being the angel and demon female adults and the non Tailmon preevolutions of Angewomon and LadyDevimon,having a yellow and red colour scheme,and D'arcmons staff being the equivalent of Witchmons broom,and also D'arcmon sharing the Tamagotchi staff with Wizarmon)

And Luxmon also looks great with Pucchiemon, the digimon I think is Impmon good evolution.

 

[MasterOfTartarus]

I can see the resemblance with Impmon, gloves and jumpsuit, Luxmons smirk also helps.
I´m also curious if Luxmon might be a good child level for various puppet types given the big zipper he has, but for now Angels.

I like that Luxmon is also human form just as Lucemon, it gives Cupimon even more of a reason to be as complex despite being a BabyII.
going with that I feel even stronger about Sistermon Blanc as the female angel child level equivalent.

though the beast Angels are still a bit harder to define.

 

[Bancho]

I'm not sure if placement in the chart matters but I find Shakkoumon to be better as a SlashAngemon pre-evolution and MagnaAngemon Priest Mode to be better as Dominimon's pre-evolution.
Priest Mode and Dominimon are both callbacks to V-Tamer and SlashAngemon is tied with Vikemon for being Shakkoumon's most common evolution in media with recent connections like the Pendulum Z and New Century.

Shakoumon and Dominimon sharing a wing shape as well as Priest Mode and SlashAngemon having very similar wing shapes is not something I noticed before, though

 

[MasterOfTartarus]

didn´t even notice about the wingshape on Shakkoumon and Dominimon, my figuring was just them being more defense based while Priest Mode has a physical sword like SlashAngemon.
though to be fair you can switch them around in almost any combination and it still works, Clavis is also a fan favorite for Shakkoumon, Magna works well with Dominimon because of the energyblade, and Priest Mode going into Dominimon also works since he looks close to Seraphimon, so both HolyAngemons going into similair megas also works.

the only awkward evo I could see would be Arkhai into Slash, as one is more of a caster the other more of a fighter and they have opposing colors.
though you could still justify it cause both wear heavy armor and spiky helmets.

Today I remembered how in a line I was making a long time ago I was considering using Mushroomon as the rookie for a Pistmon line, due to the mooshrooms pads in Pistmons shoulders,but I discarded it for not being color fitting for the line.Now I realize we don't only have a new adult Mushroomon that can directly evolve into Pistmon, but it's also pink,one of the colors in Pistmons design,so I made a line around him and Chamblemon.I couldn't decide for an ultimate so I just used all the ones I considered fitting:
BloomLordmon looks cool; Rosemon not so much, it's maybe astretch,only having a vines connection, but its burst mode has that glowing pink light that could connect to Pistmons pink electricity; Lordknightmon looks great in my opinion,and it has a roses attack, making him fitting in a plant line,the X antibody version has a rose shield,that fits even better; Ceresmon is a humanoid figure riding a plant bird puppet, that could maybe be considered a vehicle, which is cool coming from a Digimon that is a humanoid figure riding a plant bike made of vines, Ceresmon medium looks cool with Pistmon; and last but not least, Shivamon being in the Pulsemons DIM like Pistmon, being an official Pistmon evolution, not losing entirely the electricity theme of Pistmon, and having the bike become the metal pink flower that Shivamon rides, connecting to the plant theme and Lalamons head makes him a good evolution too.I guess Mushroomon could have been the rookie, having a 3 staged mushroom line, but I like Lalamon better.

as of now, what are the best evolutions for Flymon? I thought Scorpiomon might be good?

 

[TMS]

Scorpiomon's good, though it loses the wings. I would probably go with Okuwamon, because of the similar facial markings. Or you could go the bee route with CannonBeemon. Of unofficial evolutions, I like Cyberdramon X.
