A lot of DKs moves fit pretty well but a lot also really don't. It is a little weird.
Think we'll get Flamedramon over Lucario again any time soon?

If Tamagotchi's and vpets aren't considered video games, then I guess Mr. Game & Watches hand helds aren't video games either. You control a digital image on a hand held console, it's a video game.Season 1 of Digimon has some powerful nostalgia for me. I felt Digimon had the best anime out of the monster themed IPs, while I revered Pokemon for its video games and Yugi-oh for the actual card game. One thing I become concerned about is the fact Agumon doesn't originate from an actual video game, which is something Sakurai has addressed. And while he has contradicted himself in many instances, I have a feeling he might consider that rule some kind of special, unbreakable one. I don't really have an argument there, it's just a gut feeling.
I might be wrong, and it could be entirely flipped around; Sakurai could possibly consider virtual pets as a form of video games worth representing in SSB, in which case Agumon would be a natural choice.
But I don't personally think Agumon will happen.
I'm not as sure about that as you are. I personally wouldn't consider virtual pets video games, more like a digital toy, but video games themselves are also digital toys, so... slartibartfast. I took both perspectives in my post because we don't know what Sakurai would think. Is that where your beef is? Or maybe it was more of a fried drumstick (still delicious for trolls), but it certainly comes across to me as "nyeh, our venn diagram of opinions only aligns at 80% must argue!!" I'm being genuine here, the hostility from you is kind of interesting. Also, I can't buy into the G&W comparison because the circumstances under which he was included are severely different compared to something from a non-Nintendo IP, but that is a good point strictly in terms of what makes a video game a video game. That could also mean that G&W fills the role Agumon would as a rep for LED handhelds, also making it a somewhat damning comparison. Honestly I don't know what stance to take and clearly you do, so wield boldly and take no prisoners lest ye face death by opinion.If Tamagotchi's and vpets aren't considered video games, then I guess Mr. Game & Watches hand helds aren't video games either.

Oh? I retract my request for apprenticeship. I expect a refund for the gerbil I sacrificed immediately.Sakurai's opinion on the matter is a whole different story, I'd have to be the man or know him to tell you what he thinks.
How exactly do you support a character? I cannot deal with this farce, you have 22 characters in your signature and not a single one of them is Agumon. You really don't support Agumon as much as you say you do, so it seems like we are mostly in the same area. We understand he has slim-to-none chances? We still want him in, but only casually so? If you think this post is overkill it's because you're a hot little ball of soulful dreams and you severely misallocate your aggression towards me. Next time I'll just say "I love _____ and I support _____ for SSB!" if that's how I avoid this in the future. High five, bud.Most of us don't think Agumon is likely to happen, but we still support and hope the character will be included. If you only support the likely characters, smash speculation gets boring, sometimes you gotta vouch for the underdog and hope your dreams come true.
sorry we only refund hamstersOh? I retract my request for apprenticeship. I expect a refund for the gerbil I sacrificed immediately.
This seems to be the driving force of this thread. A bunch of people who all love the Digimon anime and recognise that Agumon both has and has demonstrated great potential, yet who only really "support" him for Smash because other candidates from the series seem impossible.Digimon Rumble Arena is probably the one I enjoyed most and that game shows Agumon definitely has potential. I would personally prefer Gabumon, but Agumon seems more iconic and he would be a great choice to represent virtual pets. I'll add that, personally, I feel Digimon vs Pokemon would be culturally powerful enough to warrant his inclusion.
A low tech, LED-based handheld is as similar to a virtual pet as say, Final Fantasy is to Doki Doki Literature club. Both use the same fundamental "technology" of only ever clicking through menus but they come to a very different end result.Also, I can't buy into the G&W comparison because the circumstances under which he was included are severely different compared to something from a non-Nintendo IP, but that is a good point strictly in terms of what makes a video game a video game. That could also mean that G&W fills the role Agumon would as a rep for LED handhelds, also making it a somewhat damning comparison.
Actively state any degree of interest therein, a la what you have already done, apparently.How exactly do you support a character? ...
whatHey dude, I'll repeat myself. I love Digimon and would also love to see a Digimon in SSB. I also feel that I can't want 20+ characters that are specific to my interests because I'll definitely be disappointed. If it wasn't clear that I did want Agumon, let me remind you that I religiously watched season 1 of Digimon when I was little and even revisited it when I was older to find that it holds up really well as a character-centric story, despite the marketability being a focus point. I never owned a Digimon virtual pet, and I also played very few of the games. Digimon Rumble Arena is probably the one I enjoyed most and that game shows Agumon definitely has potential.

Hm, well Lucario debuted in the anime first, and ROB was a piece of hardware long before he actually appeared in any video game. Those are both owned by Nintendo though. I don't know if the same applies to properties not owned by Nintendo.A question for all of you:
Even if a character did not start out as a character in a game, but then if most of the media involving that character are Video Games, would that make this character worth entering Smash Bros?
Example: A character is born as the main character of an Anime, but for the rest of his existence he appears only in Video Games.

i wouldnt get your hopes up for a crossover, still itll be interesting to see what it isSome NEWS for you guys:
Recently registered in Japan, the brand "Battle Breeders" for the Nintendo Switch. Although it may be a new franchise, there have been rumors about whether it is a new game between Digimon and Pokémon.
The brand was registered by Bandai Namco.

Digimon really needs to release a good game, and not a "good for a digimon game" game.
I thought about this, and... well, having Agumon, Greymon, maybe MetalGreymon and WarGreymon and possibly even Omnimon, all in one character, is probably a little labour intensive for this particular iteration of Smash Bros.So... like Pokemon Trainer is back...
Which is essentially a transformation character....
Agumon Digivolution mechanic now feasibly more possible?
Well... i wasn't suggesting that many transformations... and I'm not a fan of the anime original forms... so basically anything beyond Metalgreymon.Yeah, you can count me among the supporters of Agumon.

I'm fairly sure that WarGreymon and Omegamon are actually V-Pet originals, I believe they were introduced in the Pendulum series?Well... i wasn't suggesting that many transformations... and I'm not a fan of the anime original forms... so basically anything beyond Metalgreymon.
This looks nice! If a little bit like a shapeless blob for the uninitiated. XD
Digimon is not a clone of Pokémon. They have similarities, but only insofar as they are both franchises with monsters that evolve into stronger forms with "mon" in the title.Never played Digimon before. I support! But, I do have 1 question: Is it a clone of Pokemon?
Here, here!Honestly, I'd be more hype for a Digimon as a Bandai Namco Rep than anyone from Tekken.
A rivalry between those that only watched Pokémon, and thought that Digimon was just a rip-off. And those who knew better.I know it's not this way in Japan, but here in the west there was a Mario/Sonic rivalry between the series that was something fierce!
Or those of us that sunk too much into Pokemon cards to switch, bore resentment as friends moved on, grew up, learned to appreciate both series for what they were and would like to see a friendly duke out for old time's sake and not whatever gore fest Screw Attack has planned.Here, here!

I have literally never played Tekken (I think, my uncle owned it and I MIGHT have played it then), Klonoa or a Tales game. And besides PAC-MAN, those games and Digimon, I have a hard time thinking about any other Bandai-Namco series other than their licensed anime games (and we all know what the reception to Goku is).And for me it's very funny that people have a preference for other Namco Bandai characters.
1 - Heihachi who is literally another character of fighting games. It's literally a less interesting version of Ryu.
2 - Klonoa is a mascot Namco practically ignores to put the Pac-Man in place always.
3 - Lloyd Irving who is a main character in the Tales series, which would be interesting if he was not practically a protagonist of Fire Emblem.
And among all the options we have Digimon, which is a series known worldwide, a huge franchise that exists for more than twenty years, which directly rivals Pokémon in many different ways.
I can not believe that more people are not giving the value that Agumon should have in this case.
It turns out to be the obvious choice of Namco Bandai's second rep!
Pac-Man representing Namco and Agumon representing Bandai.
Yeah, one thing I don't like about Death Battle is how gory it is. I mean, is Ace's face getting melted by Natsu (among other really gross things) really necessary?Or those of us that sunk too much into Pokemon cards to switch, bore resentment as friends moved on, grew up, learned to appreciate both series for what they were and would like to see a friendly duke out for old time's sake and not whatever gore fest Screw Attack has planned.
Digimon World of PS1 is an extremely iconic and legendary game in the minds of many people. You can check this out in people's reaction to recently released Digimon World games such as Digimon Next Order for PS4.One barrier for entry for Agumon, I think, is that, should he get a stage, the most iconic Digimon music is from Digimon's anime series. Not saying it can't happen, but it would be unprecedented. (Man, that's a lot of commas in the first half of that sentence).

Hey dude, it's alright! LOL You can get as specific as you want!Sorry in advance about the wall of text. XD
Believe me, I played Next 0rder (gotta format it right~) and loved it (even if it took me a little bit to get used to). I didn't play the original World series (though I wanted to).Digimon World of PS1 is an extremely iconic and legendary game in the minds of many people.

And even if you have not played, a lot of these are wonderful games, I just do not think they deserve to represent Bandai on the same level as Digimon should.
Heh, I was going to go into even more detail (like how the aftereffects of a divorce effect one of the characters and his relationship with his little brother in Season 1, or how the main character of Season 1, Tai, comes to realize how all the collateral damage the Digimon cause when they fight effects the general populace in Digimon Adventure Tri, the most recent 'season').Hey dude, it's alright! LOL You can get as specific as you want!
So here's my recommendation for you!Believe me, I played Next 0rder (gotta format it right~) and loved it (even if it took me a little bit to get used to). I didn't play the original World series (though I wanted to).
I love "Accentier" (though what an "Accentier" even is, I have no idea), it would be a great song for Agumon if he gets chosen (along with Brave Heart and Believer).
I will admit I liked Cyber Sleuth (and Hacker's Memory) a little more. But that's probably got something to do with it being something I'm more used to.
Maybe one day! (I don't have the kind of money I would need to get a hold of them). Besides, I'm aware of lots of things Digimon has to offer!So here's my recommendation for you!
Play the first three Digimon World for Playstation, you will fall in love!
They are wonderful games that will show you a lot of special things that Digimon has to offer!
