I personally wouldn't consider the iPad a gaming console since it wasn't made for that purpose. It's something you can play games on aside from its original primary function. By this logic, I could say my old high school TI 83 graphing calculator is a gaming console because you could play on and program games into it. I doubt anyone here would consider that a gaming console.

Was the first set released outside of Japan?

Every time I see posts like this one, I start to feel old. lol

Wonder if it comes with a drama CD like the Adventure set did.

I will see that movie someday! lol. Anywho, it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't make that drama canon despite how recent it was. You know, aside from Taichi, Jou seems to be the most stressed. I just want to give him a hug. Anyway, I do wonder how this'll all play out, especially Jou. Yeah. lol. Unless she ended up at a different high school. Yeah. I also feel they're setting Taichi up for his future career as an ambassador. The egg convo? I think for the dub Mimi said she liked her eggs topped with maple syrup and Izzy liked his with mustard and jellybeans. Mimi's isn't TOO strange there, but man...Izzy. lol He takes responsibility very seriously. I still want to hug him. He would probably feel bad for ditching but also feel conflicted because of his having to study. I don't recall it either, but I think it was more like, "I'm sorry, I can't come now". I think it was something simple. I'm sure if Taichi would've told her what was going on, she would've gone home. I don't think he ever did, now that I think about it. Yeah, but the milk carton would be cuter. lol Ah, I get what you did there. lol. That aside, after Adventure, the real world and the Digital World synched up. Both worlds run the same time wise. This why 02 was the way it was. Ken, as the Kaiser was around during the day, but returned home at night. It was night time in the DW too. Oh, they wanted to keep the Digital World secret. They didn't really alter memories, but they did destroy and erase all footage and data pertaining to any of the attacks and Digimon to make it seem like none of it happened and that it was a terrorist attack or something. For the 1995 stuff in Hikarigaoka, it was the same. The Parrotmon vs Greymon stuff was forgotten and I guess that was Gennai's doing. Yup. Cool. Yeah. It sounded like he threw something at Daisuke on his way out. I usually joke and say he went into "Koushi smash!" mode and threw Tentomon in his rage. lol You know, Daisuke went to Koushirou to emulate him in hopes of impressing the girls for Valentine's. I found it interesting that he went to Koushirou first and even considered him in general. Koushirou must have a way with the "laydays". lol. Seriously, why him? lol I have a Wonderswan Color I imported years ago for the sole purpose of playing those games. ^^ A while back on another forum, while I was doing a nearly 8 week hospital stay, I wrote a synopsis of the Wonderswan games from what I could recall. I'll share it here under a spouler tag. I could be remembering wrong, though.

When I said, "I dunno", I kinda meant, "I'm not sure what's going to happen from there" or if I was interpreting it right, but yeah, it could result in Lilymon evolving. Now, if that is the case, I'm curious how Koushirou, Jou, Yamato, Mimi, and Sora will react to it. If the dramas are to be taken canonically, then they shouldn't react at all as this would be the second time Mimi's Digimon has evolved to Rosemon. Apparently good enough to attend concerts. lol That aside, that just confirms that she's still living in Odaiba I guess. By this point in time, she should be 20 and a university student. That aside, I'm surprised that Momoe (Miyako's oldest sister; Chizuru was in Yamato's class in 02 and the same age as he, Taichi, and Sora), wasn't mentioned, now that I'm thinking about it. For 02, she was Jun's good friend, same age and was also a fan of Yamato's band and would attend them with Jun. Yep, that could be it, although, it really seemed liked she "got the message" in 02 when she saw Yamato and Sora and started asking about Shuu when he brought Daisuke home. So yeah, maybe she did like the front man, but actually is a fan of Yamato's band's music more. She probably put two and two together when seeing Sora giving Yamato his present in 02 too as she did barge in. That was a dub insert. He just ate/drank too much. Oh and the Kimchi fried rice with strawberries and whipped cream is kind of a throwback to Adventure. Her mother prepared strange dishes all the time, and that was one of them. I like how they're setting Mimi up to be a food analyst/researcher. I also liked how this first film, when Mimi was giving out the omiyage to the Digimon and the others how she mentioned something about experimenting with food (forgot what exactly). Also, it was noted that Mimi had strange tastes back in Adventure in the egg episode where Gomamon evolved for the first time to Ikkakumon. She liked her eggs prepared with sugar and natto. All the kids thought that was strange...but here's something else interesting. The only other child that was given a look or thought of as strange for his egg preference was Koushirou. He liked his eggs prepared with ponzu. I like ponzu....never had it with egg though. I think even Takeru was like, "Ew" or something equivalent to that. Of course, for my head canon, Koushirou likes strange food combinations as much as Mimi does and also has a big appetite (original story drama that took place in spring of 2001 where he was telling Gennai how he was starting his last year of elementary school and how he recently became the Computer Club President and how the incoming girls were taller than him and how he was going to eat more to grow taller). Yup, my head canon. lol I just found it ironic how they set up those two like that for the egg ep. I think it would be Jou doing the sobbing. lol Yeah, I think it's that friend. I don't recall a magician for the original though, but that's a cute line nonetheless. lol That would be funny, but I don't think they do that here. lol 2005. This is taking place in 2005. :-P But you could be onto something. What if it's like 02 all over again and how people's memories of the Adventure and Diablomon events started to fade from memory thanks to the Gennai copies. What if there is some strong pyschic junk going on? Yeah...I kinda hope it does go this way now. That'd be interesting. It'll also explain why the Adventure kids haven't even acknowledged the 02 group in any way. Well, for the Adventure argument, it was pretty one-sided in the sense that Koushirou didn't even know he was in an argument to begin with and didn't really get why Mimi was so upset in the first place. She rushed off before he could actually react and stuff getting down to it and Mimi did wait patiently for him before finally losing her patience when he started to completely ignore her. Koushirou was mature in some ways when comparing him to Mimi at that time. Mimi acted more her age. She grew up carefree and a bit sheltered. Koushirou had his adoption complex, refusing to let himself get close to anyone or letting anyone get close to him as he felt he was beneath them...albeit, probably subconsciously. That was an aspect he did seem to want to change though and he started doing so when confronting his parents and them discussing his adoption, which resulted in Koushirou visiting their gravesites and talking openly about it with Gennai. Even in his image themes Version Up and Open Mind, it sounds like he did. Version Up (Adventure) sounds like he wants to improve himself and face challenges. Like "upgrading" himself. Open Mind, it sounds like he did just that by being more open to people, but still has a way to go to open up completely. Anywho, as for the argument, this time, it sounds like it's going to be an actual argument from both sides. The only time I can recall where Koushirou actually got annoyed enough to raise his voice was in the Michi e no armor shinka drama. It was pretty funny, though. Poor Daisuke. lol In his final Wonderswan game, he did get his own partner and he did lose his memories of this life in the Adventure side of things and ended up in the Tamers universe. Writers, PLEASE do something like this!! It'll make me respect you a bit more for pretty much ignoring the 02 kids! lol I thought Shuu and Mr. Takenouchi worked with him too in the epilogue. I would assume Japan, but seems that most IT people have to have some grasp of English here.

I know. The link didn't say it, but I assumed it was that one. I still doubt I'll ever go, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it'll be portrayed in the show. I still wish they'd acknowledge them, though. That would satisfy me fine. I predicted this before the movie even came out. lol He's in his last year of high school which means studying for university entrance exams. It was kind of one sided given how calm Koushirou was. Mimi just frustrated and took off. Now this would be awesome. Never thought about it, but given Koushirou's computer skills and networking and his possible interest in IT stuff, I could see him studying abroad. The possibility of Mr. Tachikawa being shipped out again is possible. I've been told that if you work in a Japanese company with branches, expect to be shipped off at least once, whether it's for a year, three or maybe even five. I had a student who had to move to Brazil. He and his wife were studying English (with me) and Portuguese. They left last year and will be there four years.

Yes it is.

Yay! I finally guessed something right aside from being too late to answer the Initial D one! lol Okay, so I thought about it, and I decided to try choosing a character from a famous series.

http://bokutachinodigitalworld.blogspot.my/2015/12/tri-ketsui-info-animedia-feburary-issue.html Apparently, this is floating around. Some info regarding the upcoming movie in March. Apparently, since she's back in Japan, Mimi wants to go to an onsen and by the description, seems she'll be going to the Oedo Onsen Monogatari. She wants to do this to welcome in Meiko. This bothers me on many levels, personally. I like the idea of them visiting that particular onsen (I've always been curious about it and I'm surely never going to get a chance to probably go lol) and I have no problem with Mimi wanting to welcome in a new friend to join her, Sora, and Hikari, but I hate the fact that NOTHING was mentioned about the 02 kids here. What about frickin' Miyako? Seriously, Mimi and Miyako acted like sisters. Anywho, as for Jou, he's conflicted with his upcoming exams and a bit bothered over the fact that Digimon are causing trouble again. It's interfering with his school life. Apparently, there'll be an infected Ogremon or something and Koushirou will get into a spat with Mimi over fighting it. I dunno. I'm sure more will be revealed later on, but if the movies continue going down the path of ignoring the 02 kids or having the characters in-universe ignoring their actual existence, then this will probably be my most disliked thing to ever come out of the Adventure universe...although, there's an interview with this series director, I think and was asked what each child would do for Christmas. With Hikari, he mentioned that she would be with her good childhood friend for a party and how they would talk about boys (Daisuke, Takeru) and other girlish things...so there is still some hope. Edit: Here it is... Adventure kids' Christmas plans. It was the producer, not the director. http://s11.postimg.org/t09bg6gb7/Unbenannt.png This Year Is Special! We’ve Delivered Q&A Vol. 2! How Grown-Up Taichi And His Friends Will Spend Christmas ♡ Yagami Taichi: Taichi can probably have a short break after a preliminary match of the winter soccer championship. He might invite his close teammates to his house and have a big party with them. Being young guys, they will have yaminabe as a prank for fun. Even if they go too far, Agumon will eat up everything. I guess they’ll enjoy the boys’ hotpot party. Ishida Yamato: Maybe as an annual custom, Yamato will hold a Christmas concert and sing a new song with his new band. He might also prepare to perform some sweet Christmas songs for his fans. Uniting with them, he will have an exciting gig. Takenouchi Sora: Sora will go to Yamato’s concert with Motomiya Jun. She still can’t get into Jun’s aggressive moshing. However, she might get carried away by Yamato’s voice and watch over him fondly. Tachikawa Mimi: Mimi will host a Christmas party. She will invite Michael (who is from America), Koushirou, and other friends and have fun with them. She might welcome everyone with her amazingly creative cooking, such as “kimchi fried rice with strawberries and whipped cream”. Everyone will be enjoying them. Izumi Koushirou: Koushirou will be forcibly invited to Mimi’s party. He will talk in English with Michael, because he has improved his English recently. They might get excited to talk about the SAT college admissions test and recent IT companies. Kido Jou: Unfortunately, a very important entrance exam is coming up soon. It’s time for Jou to begin his final cramming sessions. He knows it and he’s been studying very hard at home and without play. He might excuse himself from Mimi’s party between sobs. Takaishi Takeru: Takeru might assist Yamato with his concert. To create a good mood he will invite lots of girls from his school and have fun. If he writes a blog about the concert later, he’ll probably take it upon himself to document everything. Yagami Hikari: Hikari will attend a Christmas party hosted by a close classmate she’s known since elementary school. They might talk about boys such as Takeru and Daisuke, etc.. The party will heat up with girl talk.

How about Bubblegum Crisis? It's not a movie, but is an OVA series. You can maybe treat it as like two. Or three movies. It's a classic sci-fi series that takes place in 2032 and 2033. If you ever watch Cowboy Bebop, you could maybe check the movie out. Forgot which eps the movie falls in between. Oh you could also check out the 2001 film Metropolis.

That's a cute poster.

Thanks. As pointed out, the rule was already technically broken with Initial D. . If it's ok to ask, why was that rule there anyway? Since we're allowed to continue, and I thought about it, is this Bubblegum Crisis?

Yeah...that never happened to my recollection originally. Which episode was it? What was happening in it? Was it the ep where Hikari was accidentally left behind in the Digital World?

Cowboy Bebop is awesome! Ironically, the show was more popular outside of Japan than within it. Maybe you could check out Outlaw Star as well. Or you could check out one of the Gundam series...been around since about 1977 or 1979...but that's more of a mech series so never mind...

At least I think that's what it was...I need to watch it again and listen. I think I'll do that this evening. It has been a long time. I just recall that it wasn't all that bad. With the exception of adults, the older kids (minus Miyako), and Hikari, he didn't use honorifics with anyone. At least I don't recall him using them... Edit: Ok, watched it. I knew it wasn't bad. He just used "omae" with him. Pretty much an informal way of saying "you", but still a bit rude as he already knew his name. Hikari corrected him by saying, "It's not you. His name is Takeru-kun". He referred to him as "Takeru" from that point forward. The thing here is if he'd used something like "anata" or "kimi", which are more polite and standard, he still would've been called out for using "you" to address Takeru because, as I mentioned, he already knew his name. In Japanese, pronouns aren't used much in general, unlike in English. Now if Daisuke would've used something like, "Teme", then THAT would've been really rude and aggressive.

It wasn't disrespectful, but more so casual and Hikari called him out on it and after that time, nothing.

I still don't see how he acted like a jerk at any time, honestly. I found his, "She's my girl declaration" for the dub bothersome, but he was NEVER like this in the original. For me, Daisuke > Davis. Daisuke's crush was very normal. It was obvious, but he wasn't direct about it either. He didn't constantly get Takeru's name wrong. The characters around him valued him as a friend and didn't constantly put Daisuke down, etc., unlike the dub seemed to do with Davis. For the drama, I'm under the impression that he just finally confessed his feelings and she let him know that she liked him as only a friend. As for the girl drawn to Daisuke in the drama, there was a twist.

A part of me really wishes they wouldn't bother with the shipping stuff as I am fine with how 02 ended...but at the same time, the fact that they're touching upon Koumi is mind-blowing to me. If they made that canon...I'd be a serious hypocrite as I would be yelping and cheering...but if they don't, oh well. Then again.... ...they just look so family like here... Just recalled something. In one of the dramas, Hikari rejects Daisuke. It's mentioned in passing. Daisuke goes to New York and meets up with Mimi and Wallace, quite depressed, especially since even Iori had, apparently, gotten a girlfriend. While there, they meet a girl who seemed drawn to Daisuke. It's the Natsu e no Tobira CD drama.

Hm, how about Princess Nine? Or Gunsmith Cats? Or Devil Hunter Yoko? Or Switch? I don't think these are as well-known.

Actually, I'm more curious as to how you feel about Tri even bothering to revisit/visit these pairings in such a way.

So, since Tri has come out, there seems to be some snippy stuff going on. What do you think? Taiora/Sorato: I still stand by what I said before regarding Taichi in 02. He seemed to like Sora, who was obviously unaware of this, and fell for Yamato. Seems Taichi still likes Sora. Takari: Even though I didn't think too much of it, seems Hikari may have a slight liking towards Takeru, given her reaction when he mentioned he was taking a girl to his brother's concert. Koumi: It's official that Koushirou is crushing on Mimi, but who knows how she feels.

Just bumping, and figured @senshikoi may like this thread.

I didn't notice that rule. Why the limitation? One of you put up a pic from Initial D. That technically breaks that rule as it started in 1998.

I suck, I dunno. lol
