I remember enjoying this show so much…why? Not sure. Coincident with Pokemon, but thematically alot darker. Myself and the girls used to be able to recite all the incarnations of each monster in order. I can no longer do it without help, so I looked it up. Here you go:
Tai’s Digimon
Botamon, Koromon (first two are the youngest and second youngest forms, rarely seen)
Agumon
Greymon
Metalgreymon
Matt’s Digimon
Punimon, Tsunomon
Gabumon
Garurumon
Weregarurumon
Izzy’s Digimon
Pabumon, Motimon
Tentomon
Kabuterimon
Megakabuterimon
Sora’s Digimon
Nyokimon, Yokomon
Biyomon
Birdramon
Garudamon
Mimi’s Digimon
Yuramon, Tanemon
Palmon
Togemon
Lillymon
Joe’s Digimon
Pichimon, Bukamon
Gomamon
Ikkakumon
Zudomon
TK’s Digimon
Poyomon, Tokomon
Patamon
Angemon
MagnaAngemon
Kari’s Digimon
Nyaromon, Salamon
Gatomon
Angewomon
There were two episodes with bits I remember clearly. The first was a battle with one of the badder of the bad guys. As I recall the bad guys seemed not too hard to defeat at first, but then new ones kept showing up that were increasingly powerful. During season one TK’s digimon took forever to digivolve, staying littler than all the others the longest. Finally in this episode, the guy the digimon were fighting was systematically defeating all the other digimon so they were about to lose. Then all of a sudden TK’s digimon turned into Angemon for the first time and kicked the bad dude’s ass. It was such an effort for him that he reverted afterwards all the way back to a digiegg, which then took a few episodes to hatch.
Second thing I remember was an episode in which Sora falls into this mental pit of darkness. From the others’ point of view she just sits against a tree and won’t move. They try to pull her to her feet but she won’t budge. From her point of view she’s in a deep dark pit and their voices are coming to her from a distance. Finally she is able to snap out of it by listening to how her friends are there for her. Pretty memorable episode for me.
