Happy Wednesday, you legends with notifications on! I had a lot of fun thinking about new partners for Digimon Adventure 2020 but let know if you'd like me to do this with other seasons! Much love
I have a video idea give all 6 Digimon Adventure 02 Digimon Golden Armor Digivolutions with the Digi-Egg of Destiny + a better Golden Armor Digivolution with the Digi-Egg of Destiny for veemon then GoldVeedramon I have a good name for Hawkmon Golden Armor Digivolution with the Digi-Egg of Destiny and that name is Robinmon base off of Robin Hood
If we went that route, I'd honestly flip it. With Tai getting BanchoLeomon and Mat getting Chaosmon. BanchoLeomon's line to me feels more like a protagonist line where as Darkdramon's armory/military themed line feels more Rival oriented. I get the mindset of Tai gets Lizard/Dragon, Matt gets Beast idea, but outside of that I think the lines work better the other way around.
@@AussieDragoon Fair enough. Though you could even use it as an excuse to do an Omnimon with new arms thing. There is a Valdur arm Chaosmon. You could add in the other partners being different arms
With that whole statement about the "Tai and Matt show" it kind of reminded me of a rumor I heard not too long after Adventure 2020 ended where the show was originally supposed to actually just be about Tai, Matt, TK and Kari, but then the executives at Toei pushed to have the other children added which caused a lot of changes to the plot to add them in.
As much I enjoyed the other chosen kids from Adventure, I can't help but wonder if the 2020 version would have been stronger if it did purely focus on 4 of them.
Something interesting about giving Tai and Matt legend arms is that it means that when they do jump into other character's plots we can have other characters using the sword/shield! so they don't have mode changes themselves but basically are the mode/equip changes for the others! Altur Balistamon with Durandamon or SaintGalgomon with Bry-(not attempting that) BIG DRAGON TOWER SHIELD!
I also thought that it would be cool to do this for 02. They only thing that would have me a bit reserved is that I think it would be better if we got custom Armors and Jogresses. I don’t know if that would fit with how you handled this but if you did decide to do that it would be awesome!
@@Karn_EX It occurred to me how cool that would be with the new partners. These new partners could redefine what the crests would be like, and therefore affect how the new Digimon 02 partners would evolve. The new Davis partner getting weapons due to Zubamon and shields and literal armor due to Ludomon
I love these partner choices for the kids. TK and Kari getting Terriermon and Lopmon is a great idea that I never thought of a lot but it's fits them really well and I can definitely see it happening.
I straight love this lineup. There's a ton of really good Rookies they've been releasing lately, like Vorvomon (or heck Coronamon and Lunamon) that haven't really gotten much starpower or exposure. Even Pulsemon. This is a really exciting lineup for the kids and they all get a chance at some really cool later evolutions. Especially for Tai and Matt.
I could see Tai getting Hackmon's line as a partner with Matt getting Dorumon to Alphamon line. I can see TK and Kari getting Coronamon and Lunamon respectively to keep with the whole divine\holy theme for them with Coronamon having an alternate evo in lynxmon or agunimon and having marsmon or keeping goldramon as an alternate mega and Kari keeping cherubimon as her alternate mega. I can't think of what for the rest.
I always thought that the Olympus 12/8 would make for great alternative partners to the original 8 digidestined, there are a lot of themes and designs that i feel would match quite well.
oh i love this idea! and the 02 kids can get the other 4 in the next season, and plutomon can show up as blackwargreymon equivalent later on the series
Cool choices all around! I think my favorites were the lines you picked for Mimi and Joe. The explanation for Matt’s line shows just how much thought you put into your choices and how they fit into the characters’ arcs.
I could have sworn you were going to give Matt a Bulucomon! You really surprised me with your pick, but it does make a lot of sense when paired with your choice for Taichi!
Haha it was tempting! It was actually kinda the inverse! I saw the weird similarities between Ludomon and Gabumon and was like huh... I can make that work!
@@Karn_EX yeah, it works suprisingly well. At first I was like "is Karn okay?" but then you really convinced me. It would be cool to see where a concept like this ends up leading to!
Then we need a Fire Digimon as its counterpart so that we have a Omnimon Variant who focuses on Heat and Freezing Attacks altough Omnimon does that except really using fire attacks. A Ice Dragon and what could be the other one? Well that way it would also fit to Todoroki Shoto from My Hero Academia. But has Blucomon a Mega Level when yes i dont know it. What Animals are there who could be used for fire except reptilians?
Great video idea. Here is an idea for Digimon 02. Do what if each character was Digimon Emperor, how the story would be different and affect their Digimon partner?
This idea! Its getting my little fanfiction brain to go overdrive. This would make such an interesting character deep dive and exploring different story beats. Seems rather beefy as a project though but could perhaps be a cooler longer video series. (Just thinking in general this is no obligation for you kharn)
A lot of great, if not perfect picks. Although thanks for reminding me that we still don't have X-Antibody-variants for the rest of Terriermons and Lopmons lines (sans Cherubimon and Rapidmon Gold), I think a full X-Antibody variant line would've been interesting to have as a partner for a main character in an anime. I also have to admit that, while Regalecusmon kinda fits along with Vikemon, being this warrior-like Deep Savers Digimon, I never really saw how those fit to Joe, really. Neptunemon is a bit more balanced in that regard, but I think ultimately, the only other option for a Mega that comes to my mind that I think might fit more so to Joe is FrosVelgrmon, although in that case everything before that also becomes a bit more iffy, even if Frozomon could be an acceptable previous stage. The only other way I could think of would be going through CrysPaledramon and the rest of the Blucomon-line, and at that point, you could just as well say that Hexeblaumon would be a similarly fitting Mega, as a wizard.
Karn, been a fan for a hot minute but gotta say- Every time you upload something and I see it on my Subscriptions, I jump right on it. Keep doing what you're doing!
The Haley Joel Osment joke in the middle got me so badly man 🤣 fun video and great idea, these picks are truly awesome alternatives and would’ve made for a interesting season/reboot.
See, I had always thought of the Adventure kids’s kids, that Mimi’s son would have the exact partner and line, maybe even Hydramon being the “going to far to force digivolution” like SkullGreymon.
This might seem random but I would LOVE to see a custom art video where it’ll be your ideal partner digimon and it’s entire line. Something like if you were put into the Digital World…does that make sense? haha
I love seeing love for the nobel arms Digimon they definitely deserve it. It's really a bummer that terriermon really only makes sense to go into gargomon, I love both of them but I would love to see an alternate champion that that makes sense like lopmon
Hey it’s me 19dkline thanks for the mention and honestly I love your choices and honestly caught me off guard but I love them the ones I did are Tai and Rurimon Matt and Bearmon Izzy: Fanbeemon Joe: Gizamon TK: Terriermon Kari: Lopmon Sora: Sparrowmon Mimi: Floramon
@@Karn_EX yeah but I didn’t come up with evolution lines yet mostly cause Rurimon don’t have any evolutions and your welcome for the jumping off point it was an honor to help
Okay so this is amazing, and I always love how much thought you put into these. That said, if it is ever somehow popular and you think enough folks would watch it, could you get some artists to do custom alternate partners? Maybe still base them around the crests and/or have them be alternate evolutions of the originals. Idk, you're the expert. Thanks for another great video!
the only change I'd make to these choices is to give TK and Kari more recent digimon, for Kari it'd be Meicoomon, inot Meicrackmon into Raseilmon(since we only saw Meicoomon's darker evolution line in Tri) and for TK I'd go with Kudamon 2006(tbh I feel like 2005 is as good of a max for the earliest a digimon could have debuted as 2010 and thus, 2006 Kudamon fits into it), into Reppamon into Kirinmon into Tyilinmon into Sleipmon and for their alternate ultimates it could be Mitamamon for TK and either Junomon, Mastemon or Holydramon for Kari(I lean towards Mastemon)
I loved the Digimon you choose for Mimi being someone who loves dinosaurs and was a Dino nerd when I was a kid you have no idea how happy I am that you introduced me to this new line
What I love the most about your "What If" series is that despite at some point I might disagree with you I always end up with "Whatdaheck! That makes so much sense! Make this a real thing, Toei!".
When Karn said digidestined will be receiving new rookies, first pop up my mind, will all have finally a DNA digivolution not just the 2 boys.. But great list especially Joe's Reguscalusmon Because it hunts Zudomon horn XD Like how Zudomon wear Archelomon shell Full circle karma XD
You should do a video or series giving Pokémon attributes to Digimon. For example: Agumon Type: Fire Abilities: Tough Claw/Strong Jaw Base stats: higher Attack and Defense, lower Speed Moves: Bite, Crush Claw, Leer, Ember, etc.
A cool way to do it and subvert expectations would be have that opening episode be the same ( maybe add in the other digi destions fighting their own battles) and have their og digimon but since they used so much energy with out a deep enough connection, when the evolve from babies when they meet again , you get different lines
4:25 YES!!!! I would love a fan art video with ideas for the digimon xros wars manga evolutions. KoKabuterimon and altur ballistamon are my choice of partner lines so seeing a proper mega for them would be great.
Since we're mixing things up a bit, something that I think held Adventure 02 back was its overreliance on leaning on the original Digimon Adventure, in not just its storylines and the like but also in that TK/Takeru and Kari/Hikari were part of the new team, I also thought was a bit weird that Yolei got the Digimantals tied to Sora and Mimi's crests despite the fact she clearly had personality traits more in line with those of Izzy/Koshiro and Joe. In contrast, Cody got those instead; my theory is because she was a girl, and they just didn't want to muddy the waters by giving crests that boys in the original Adventure to a girl, which is a stupid reason. But what if they did mix up the formula for the reboot of Adventure 02 by pulling TK and Kari out of being the main cast and relegating them to a supporting cast, like the rest of the original Adventure kids, and brought in new characters to the roles they had in the 02 to fill those slots instead, and with the change in the cast we could also play mix and match with the Digimantles to have the kids have access to armor forms that were and weren't seen in Adventure 02. I'm pretty sure you have few ideas of how to do that, especially in terms of what the cast of the Adventure 02 reboot could look like, but would you give the team all new partners or have them keep the partners had from Adventure 02? You have to remember, the Digimon that were partners in Adventure 02 were stated have lineages, usually ancient, that allowed them to armor digivolve, so it stands to reason that any replacement Digimon should also have that same sort of caveat. And I'm sure there are some lesser-seen Digimon that would fit those bills in a few ways. Although, you might need to commission some more fanworks for a video like that, mostly because I don't think there are the right kind of official Digimon for a few of the full evolution lines. That all said, I do think that Davis and Ken should probably keep their partners regardless, mostly because there is so little done with their partner Digimon in an official capacity, and I would love to see an episode where they try form Paildramon in a moment of rage only to end up with Dinobeemon and put everyone in danger until they can find a way to sort of tame it.
So an idea for TK's on this? Why not have Golden Armor Rapidmon be something akin to the mode changes for Metal Greymon and Were Garurumon and then Saint Galgomon instead of being green is Gold?
Good ideas, the Legend Arms are my favorites in this video, in Pendulum Z had Duramon become Shinegreymon and Raijiludomon jogress to Ancient garurumon.
I always thought we'd get more of the various groups in Digimon than we actually do. Like just random new partners for existing shows could be Adventure and 02 are partnered up with the Olympus XII, the Tamers actually were paired with the Sovereign instead of facing against them, and stuff like that. Would love one where the Legend Arms were the focus and the next set of knights to take over after the Royal Knights like Hackmon
I was actually chatting with a friend a few weeks ago about how pomumon and its line all match up well with agumons line in both og adventure and in adv 2020 Agu/pomu: sharp teeth tiny dino vibes Grey/parasaur: just a dino Metalgrey/toropia: the dino but +wings and a theme from the dark mega form(metal/poisonous plants) Skullgrey/ent: evil decayed versions of the ultimate Wargrey/bloomlord: its a more humanoid form with cool weapons and a shield who both fire either a small sun or a beam of sunlight as an attack Machinedra/hydra: actual Dramons who are monstrous and giant when compared to the main mega line Of note I haven't come up with a good omnimon or blitzgreymon version yet but that can be sorted another day
I didn't interpret the silhouette on the video's thumbnail right and thought you had given Huckmon to Tai, and thought it was a good choice, but the actual one was much better
You know I have no ideas for possible different digimon for this as I love these choice maybe terriermon and Lopmon might be an odd choice but I can see it working
You could use MetalKabuterimon for Izzy since in the Digimon Accel it is classified as a Mega apparently... Yes I looked this up because I was curious if he's an Ultimate or Mega.
If you give Izzy Fanbeemon it can easily substitute for Piyomon as the flight method. Also, I think Tai would fit well with Dracomon and the alts are all there.
I'm really impressed by your impressed by your videos and how much how much analysis you put into the impressive and show you are true Digimon fan my question is what do you think would happen if the Digimon survive characters had biomerged digivoltions
I was thinking today about Gracenovamon and started wondering what the other Jogress of the Olympus 12 members would look like maybe it’s a future video idea?
With Volcdramon, I could see it being able to reduce the temperature of its body when carrying the kids in order to avoid hurting them. I mean, Birdramon's feathers are literally made of FIRE, for crying out loud!
Vorvomon for Sora is an interesting choice. Really surprised you didn't do Hyokomon. Pomumon with Mimi is surprisingly fitting. Love the inclusion of Sangoomon. I was expecting Lopmon and Terriermon since the first partner swap vid lol. Giving Dianamon as an alternate is surprising but now I'm imagining the original digidestined with the Olympos XII lol. Ludomon and Zubamon for Matt and Tay is a pleasant surprise. Good choices all around. Loved it.
The Ludomon line maybe also fits Matt because he can protect his friends with his shields. What maybe fits the crest of friendship even better then "protecting your friends with claws and guns" like the Gabumon line. :D
7:10 becuase it had the main final boss of Adventure in it's code, caused the reboot, killed Leomon, and almost brought the destruction to the two world and was killed because misery in the Digimon films someone give the good Meicomon line to someone in any what if partners, it's bad enough the depressing cameo of Meicomon in Ghost Game Meicomon isn't bad because of Tri, it needs it's reemption.
Cool to see something like this, would be interesting to see how different the outcome would be at the end of each series if partner digimon got changed even a bit. Simple fix for Vorvonnom is to just have friendly fire disabled. He he
My pick for Matt would be Bearmon, mainly cause I love Bearmon and want to see it be a partner at some point buuuut I think it would work. For Tai I’d choose Demimeramon to keep that fire element while still being different. Could maybe use Skullmeramon as a dark evolution for Tai as well!
i love your picks but if they did something like digimon survive but its an anime with a new set of 8 kids i think they would use ludomon and zubamon and maybe pomumon and some others if it did happen i would love to watch it
So I had an idea for Mimi actually that being lalamon but basically I had it have a character arc throughout the series where it has imposter syndrome as it keeps getting dreams about it not supposed to be there that it's replaced the true partner Digimon these dreams coming from Millenniummon. Anyway lalamon would eventually start believing in herself and eventually mega evolve into lotusmon with an alternative evolution in Rafflesimon (I know it's a jogress but I think it look neat) you could also still do bancholillymon (and maybe it could help ludomon with it's stress lol)
Even if it's hard for me to see these kids paired up with completely different digimon, this is an interesting and well done video 👍 I ended up super disappointed with this reboot series. I love and adore the original Digimon Adventure. It was my first ever exposure to Digimon, I grew up with, it is part of my DNA. And the reboot was a total waste of time, energy and potential for me :/ Instead of giving these kids different digimon partners I would seriously remake the whole plot/storyline of the 2020 series. But for a video, specially a Karn EX video, the premise of changing digimon partners is cool. Personally I liked what you did with Sora, Mimi, Joe, Tai and Matt. I think Joe and Tai are my favorites. If I were to pick new digimon for the 2020 reboot, I would keep the original rookies (Agumon, Palmon, etc.) But have new evolution lines for all of them. I don't think I would include alternative evolutions because the reboot was quite bad about that interesting aspect. Not all digimon got alternative evos, some got alt champions while others alt megas, some even got alt modes. It was a real mess for me to be honest. I can't believe they used Pegasusmon and not Nefertimon, for example. And that 2020 Mimi didn't get BanchoLillymon at some point still stings. Basically I'm still mad at this reboot series. It had no reason to be that wasted....
If Kari and TK got Lopmon and Terriermon, I could see Willis existing and getting Patamon and Salamon instead. Salamon going the “dark” route and going to BlackGatomon to LadyDevimon to Ophanimon FallDown Mode maybe???
9:35 getting victorygreymon and zdgarururmon may have given them the excuse of giving them actual canonical unique omnimon variant that we all deserve to see :< perhaps it would just be like gallantmon where he still has his hands and garurumon's canon would be some kind of bazooka, megatron style and a more elaborate version of victorygreymon's big sword
AncientKabuterimon could really work for Izzy by making his final arc be to not really all the time on technology, and to trust his mind and his friends too.
I like the use of terriermon and lopmon in recognizing their sort of holy potential but I think using the Tamers line for Terriermon really loses a lot of the plot characteristics of TK and Kari, despite Kari getting to keep hers. In Digimon Championship Terriermon could digivolve into Darcmon which you can use as a jumping off point for any of the holy or holy beast lines.
I would keep the rookies the same, but change the evolution lines. If they do a digimon adventure 02 reboot I want to see the new 4 kids go into megas with out DNA digivolution
Volvomon for Sora would be great. There might also be an arc where Volvomon have insecurity of being bad at flying despite having wing and Sora accept him for what he is and once the insecurity gone he can go to his perfect form and finally able to fly. Cliche but that is Sora's trait,love and care.
For Izzy, I personally think Kokabuterimon > Ballistamon > MetalLifeKuwagamon > Grandis Kuwagamon is a good line. Grandis actually looks a bit techy and metal so fits the bill!
You know I kind of fell out of the digimon fandom after tamers as I never really got into frontier because I didn't like the fact they got rid of the partner aspect of the show and never bothered to get back into it after that, but stumbling on your channel has helped reawaken my love for digimon keep up the videos my good man.
Happy Wednesday, you legends with notifications on! I had a lot of fun thinking about new partners for Digimon Adventure 2020 but let know if you'd like me to do this with other seasons! Much love
I have a video idea for you where it’s about the 8 original digidestined and what would there biomerge with there panther be
Karn EX will you make video where you will give Digivolution lines to Digimon from Xross Wars with original Digimons ?
an idea, but giving the og kids spirit forms. like Izzy as Beetlemon, Joe as Kumamon ect ect
I have a video idea give all 6 Digimon Adventure 02 Digimon Golden Armor Digivolutions with the Digi-Egg of Destiny + a better Golden Armor Digivolution with the Digi-Egg of Destiny for veemon then GoldVeedramon I have a good name for Hawkmon Golden Armor Digivolution with the Digi-Egg of Destiny and that name is Robinmon base off of Robin Hood
Hi Karn, maybe an idea for a future art commissions video would be giving the rest of the Adventure kids Kizuna forms for their Digimon?
I’m also imagining a world where Tai got Darkdramon and Matt got BanchoLeomon so they could get Chaosmon
That would be super neat too!
If we went that route, I'd honestly flip it. With Tai getting BanchoLeomon and Mat getting Chaosmon.

As someone who main Ragnalordmon in the tcg I love the idea of the duo having the legend arms combo.
1:53 Dont forget the anime logic of fire monsters having the ability to not burn people/beings that they trust with their flames.
4:54 Regalecusmon: Digimon World's Kratos.
A lot of great, if not perfect picks.
Although thanks for reminding me that we still don't have X-Antibody-variants for the rest of Terriermons and Lopmons lines (sans Cherubimon and Rapidmon Gold), I think a full X-Antibody variant line would've been interesting to have as a partner for a main character in an anime.

Exploring the possibility of the Adventure kids with different partners is always fun to explore.
Thanks, I think so too!

Now you have to do this for all the next Gen/epilogue digidestined
I loved the Digimon you choose for Mimi being someone who loves dinosaurs and was a Dino nerd when I was a kid you have no idea how happy I am that you introduced me to this new line
Aww, glad to hear that!
What I love the most about your "What If" series is that despite at some point I might disagree with you I always end up with "Whatdaheck! That makes so much sense! Make this a real thing, Toei!".
Haha that's wonderful to hear, thank you!
When Karn said digidestined will be receiving new rookies, first pop up my mind, will all have finally a DNA digivolution not just the 2 boys..
But great list especially Joe's Reguscalusmon Because it hunts Zudomon horn XD
Like how Zudomon wear Archelomon shell
Full circle karma XD
You should do a video or series giving Pokémon attributes to Digimon. For example:
Agumon
Type: Fire
Abilities: Tough Claw/Strong Jaw
Base stats: higher Attack and Defense, lower Speed
Moves: Bite, Crush Claw, Leer, Ember, etc.
A cool way to do it and subvert expectations would be have that opening episode be the same ( maybe add in the other digi destions fighting their own battles) and have their og digimon but since they used so much energy with out a deep enough connection, when the evolve from babies when they meet again , you get different lines
4:25
YES!!!!
I would love a fan art video with ideas for the digimon xros wars manga evolutions. KoKabuterimon and altur ballistamon are my choice of partner lines so seeing a proper mega for them would be great.
Lets go. The video no one wanted coz nobody has the creativity pf Karn. You're awesome 😎
Hahaha I think that's a good thing, thank you!
Since we're mixing things up a bit, something that I think held Adventure 02 back was its overreliance on leaning on the original Digimon Adventure, in not just its storylines and the like but also in that TK/Takeru and Kari/Hikari were part of the new team, I also thought was a bit weird that Yolei got the Digimantals tied to Sora and Mimi's crests despite the fact she clearly had personality traits more in line with those of Izzy/Koshiro and Joe. In contrast, Cody got those instead; my theory is because she was a girl, and they just didn't want to muddy the waters by giving crests that boys in the original Adventure to a girl, which is a stupid reason. But what if they did mix up the formula for the reboot of Adventure 02 by pulling TK and Kari out of being the main cast and relegating them to a supporting cast, like the rest of the original Adventure kids, and brought in new characters to the roles they had in the 02 to fill those slots instead, and with the change in the cast we could also play mix and match with the Digimantles to have the kids have access to armor forms that were and weren't seen in Adventure 02.
I'm pretty sure you have few ideas of how to do that, especially in terms of what the cast of the Adventure 02 reboot could look like, but would you give the team all new partners or have them keep the partners had from Adventure 02? You have to remember, the Digimon that were partners in Adventure 02 were stated have lineages, usually ancient, that allowed them to armor digivolve, so it stands to reason that any replacement Digimon should also have that same sort of caveat. And I'm sure there are some lesser-seen Digimon that would fit those bills in a few ways. Although, you might need to commission some more fanworks for a video like that, mostly because I don't think there are the right kind of official Digimon for a few of the full evolution lines. That all said, I do think that Davis and Ken should probably keep their partners regardless, mostly because there is so little done with their partner Digimon in an official capacity, and I would love to see an episode where they try form Paildramon in a moment of rage only to end up with Dinobeemon and put everyone in danger until they can find a way to sort of tame it.
They can Replace hikari and takeru with willis and meiko
That sounds like a plan, but it also sounds like someone might need to work on some new Armor Digivolutions go along with them
So an idea for TK's on this? Why not have Golden Armor Rapidmon be something akin to the mode changes for Metal Greymon and Were Garurumon and then Saint Galgomon instead of being green is Gold?
Good ideas, the Legend Arms are my favorites in this video, in Pendulum Z had Duramon become Shinegreymon and Raijiludomon jogress to Ancient garurumon.
I’m glad to finally be able to watch this video after a year of waiting.
Haha, dedication to the dub. Hope you enjoy!
I always thought we'd get more of the various groups in Digimon than we actually do. Like just random new partners for existing shows could be Adventure and 02 are partnered up with the Olympus XII, the Tamers actually were paired with the Sovereign instead of facing against them, and stuff like that. Would love one where the Legend Arms were the focus and the next set of knights to take over after the Royal Knights like Hackmon
I always want to see Tai partner with a Leomon
That would very cool
I was actually chatting with a friend a few weeks ago about how pomumon and its line all match up well with agumons line in both og adventure and in adv 2020
Agu/pomu: sharp teeth tiny dino vibes
Grey/parasaur: just a dino
Metalgrey/toropia: the dino but +wings and a theme from the dark mega form(metal/poisonous plants)
Skullgrey/ent: evil decayed versions of the ultimate
Wargrey/bloomlord: its a more humanoid form with cool weapons and a shield who both fire either a small sun or a beam of sunlight as an attack
Machinedra/hydra: actual Dramons who are monstrous and giant when compared to the main mega line
Of note I haven't come up with a good omnimon or blitzgreymon version yet but that can be sorted another day
I didn't interpret the silhouette on the video's thumbnail right and thought you had given Huckmon to Tai, and thought it was a good choice, but the actual one was much better
Haha that would be fun too!
He did it! He did the thing, Karn managed to get hyokomon in another vid! 😆
I could do it SO much more 😈
You know I have no ideas for possible different digimon for this as I love these choice maybe terriermon and Lopmon might be an odd choice but I can see it working
Love this idea! Please do it with other seasons
Aww that's great to hear! I'd love to!
Zubamon’s big 20 on his horn-sword also works for the year of the reboot (2020)
I know it probably wasn't intentional but I like the pun with ludomon since underneath the armor he looks like a stuffed bear.
You could use MetalKabuterimon for Izzy since in the Digimon Accel it is classified as a Mega apparently... Yes I looked this up because I was curious if he's an Ultimate or Mega.
After watching some videos, I decided to subscribe. Great job!
Welcome aboard!
If you give Izzy Fanbeemon it can easily substitute for Piyomon as the flight method.
Also, I think Tai would fit well with Dracomon and the alts are all there.
Izzy's new Mega should be GrandisKuwagamon, you could easily put an electricity effect around those wings
Awesome video as always man!
Thank you, Joe!
I'm really impressed by your impressed by your videos and how much how much analysis you put into the impressive and show you are true Digimon fan my question is what do you think would happen if the Digimon survive characters had biomerged digivoltions
I was thinking today about Gracenovamon and started wondering what the other Jogress of the Olympus 12 members would look like maybe it’s a future video idea?
great video idea best digimon channel
Thank you so much 🥺
With Volcdramon, I could see it being able to reduce the temperature of its body when carrying the kids in order to avoid hurting them. I mean, Birdramon's feathers are literally made of FIRE, for crying out loud!
Haha true!
I've been waiting for this. I am so ready I had to comment before actually watching. I'll reply with another comment after I watch lol
Hah awesome, hope you enjoy it!
Vorvomon for Sora is an interesting choice. Really surprised you didn't do Hyokomon. Pomumon with Mimi is surprisingly fitting. Love the inclusion of Sangoomon. I was expecting Lopmon and Terriermon since the first partner swap vid lol. Giving Dianamon as an alternate is surprising but now I'm imagining the original digidestined with the Olympos XII lol. Ludomon and Zubamon for Matt and Tay is a pleasant surprise. Good choices all around. Loved it.
Mimi with bloomlordmon is actually work since mimi is a princess
And taichi and yamato with ragnaloardmon is ABSOLUTE PERFECT IDEA😤
The Ludomon line maybe also fits Matt because he can protect his friends with his shields. What maybe fits the crest of friendship even better then "protecting your friends with claws and guns" like the Gabumon line. :D
Haha true!
That’s awesome! I love what you picked out.
Thank you!
7:10 becuase it had the main final boss of Adventure in it's code, caused the reboot, killed Leomon, and almost brought the destruction to the two world and was killed because misery in the Digimon films
someone give the good Meicomon line to someone in any what if partners, it's bad enough the depressing cameo of Meicomon in Ghost Game
Meicomon isn't bad because of Tri, it needs it's reemption.
Cool to see something like this, would be interesting to see how different the outcome would be at the end of each series if partner digimon got changed even a bit. Simple fix for Vorvonnom is to just have friendly fire disabled. He he
Bandai please listen to our man Karn please!
Ahaha, I'm not sure all my ideas are gold but thank you!
My pick for Matt would be Bearmon, mainly cause I love Bearmon and want to see it be a partner at some point buuuut I think it would work. For Tai I’d choose Demimeramon to keep that fire element while still being different. Could maybe use Skullmeramon as a dark evolution for Tai as well!
Love the Addition of the Best Jogress Ever RagnaLoardmon.
Haha glad to hear that!
I think Bloomlordmon would fit well with mimi after all it's a knight and mimi is often compared to a princess
i love your picks but if they did something like digimon survive but its an anime with a new set of 8 kids i think they would use ludomon and zubamon and maybe pomumon and some others if it did happen i would love to watch it
Ragnaloardmon let’s goooo!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Hey, that is kinda the same I released last sunday! But I gave the originals different Digimon from their time period XD
Great Video as always^^
Absolutely love Joe’s line, except the rookie I don’t think it has any fish relations as it’s coral
I really hope the next Digimon story game includes more of the modern Digimon because goddamn do they look so cool
Agreed!
I don't know if you ever played them but I think a good video idea would be to give partners to class 7 from trails of cold steel
So I had an idea for Mimi actually that being lalamon but basically I had it have a character arc throughout the series where it has imposter syndrome as it keeps getting dreams about it not supposed to be there that it's replaced the true partner Digimon these dreams coming from Millenniummon. Anyway lalamon would eventually start believing in herself and eventually mega evolve into lotusmon with an alternative evolution in Rafflesimon (I know it's a jogress but I think it look neat) you could also still do bancholillymon (and maybe it could help ludomon with it's stress lol)
I'd love to see this become a series where he gives new partners to the 02 and Tamers kids
Even if it's hard for me to see these kids paired up with completely different digimon, this is an interesting and well done video 👍
I ended up super disappointed with this reboot series. I love and adore the original Digimon Adventure. It was my first ever exposure to Digimon, I grew up with, it is part of my DNA. And the reboot was a total waste of time, energy and potential for me :/
Instead of giving these kids different digimon partners I would seriously remake the whole plot/storyline of the 2020 series. But for a video, specially a Karn EX video, the premise of changing digimon partners is cool. Personally I liked what you did with Sora, Mimi, Joe, Tai and Matt. I think Joe and Tai are my favorites.
If I were to pick new digimon for the 2020 reboot, I would keep the original rookies (Agumon, Palmon, etc.) But have new evolution lines for all of them. I don't think I would include alternative evolutions because the reboot was quite bad about that interesting aspect. Not all digimon got alternative evos, some got alt champions while others alt megas, some even got alt modes. It was a real mess for me to be honest. I can't believe they used Pegasusmon and not Nefertimon, for example. And that 2020 Mimi didn't get BanchoLillymon at some point still stings.
Basically I'm still mad at this reboot series. It had no reason to be that wasted....
If Kari and TK got Lopmon and Terriermon, I could see Willis existing and getting Patamon and Salamon instead. Salamon going the “dark” route and going to BlackGatomon to LadyDevimon to Ophanimon FallDown Mode maybe???
9:35 getting victorygreymon and zdgarururmon may have given them the excuse of giving them actual canonical unique omnimon variant that we all deserve to see :< perhaps it would just be like gallantmon where he still has his hands and garurumon's canon would be some kind of bazooka, megatron style and a more elaborate version of victorygreymon's big sword
AncientKabuterimon could really work for Izzy by making his final arc be to not really all the time on technology, and to trust his mind and his friends too.
I like the use of terriermon and lopmon in recognizing their sort of holy potential but I think using the Tamers line for Terriermon really loses a lot of the plot characteristics of TK and Kari, despite Kari getting to keep hers. In Digimon Championship Terriermon could digivolve into Darcmon which you can use as a jumping off point for any of the holy or holy beast lines.
I would keep the rookies the same, but change the evolution lines. If they do a digimon adventure 02 reboot I want to see the new 4 kids go into megas with out DNA digivolution
Man, I can't believe you got Hayley Joel Osment to host this video.
😂
Volvomon for Sora would be great. There might also be an arc where Volvomon have insecurity of being bad at flying despite having wing and Sora accept him for what he is and once the insecurity gone he can go to his perfect form and finally able to fly. Cliche but that is Sora's trait,love and care.
I liked this vid. Although I'm not sure how I didn't notice until now, but what is up with Lopmons' fingers?
I like the idea of doing kokabuterimon to kabuterimon to Megakabuterimon or Altakabuterimon blue
You fool, you have unleashed a beast you cannot control!
Tai: Commandramon > Sealsdramon > Tankdramon > Darkdramon
Matt: Liollmon > Leomon > Grapleomon > Bancholeomon
Sora: Falcomon > Diatrymon > Crowmon > Varodurumon
Izzy: Kokuwamon > Kuwagamon > Okuamon > Grand Kuwagamon
Mimi: Floramon > Weedmon > Blossomon > Lotusmon
Joe: Betamon > Octomon > Gessomon > Neptunemon
T.K: Kotemon > Gladimon > Knightmon > Lord Knightmon
Kari: Tapirmon > Wizardmon > Mystimon > Dynasmon
Haha I definitely considered Chaosmon! I just loved those Ludomon - Gabumon connections!
I like the thought of meicoonmon getting Kari as a partner. Since there's no apocalypemon, we don't have to worry about her fall down modes.
For Izzy, I personally think Kokabuterimon > Ballistamon > MetalLifeKuwagamon > Grandis Kuwagamon is a good line. Grandis actually looks a bit techy and metal so fits the bill!
You know I kind of fell out of the digimon fandom after tamers as I never really got into frontier because I didn't like the fact they got rid of the partner aspect of the show and never bothered to get back into it after that, but stumbling on your channel has helped reawaken my love for digimon keep up the videos my good man.
Amazing, that's great to hear! Welcome back!
I did wait for the dub, but now im back for the video
Love that
Sora burning passion she have is a nice pick.
Karn can u do video about what if other digimon adventure kid got fusion.
The moment I saw Ludomon I knew where it was going. :)
I would love to finally have a tyrannomon as a partner digimon and with the whole tyrannamon line with it
