So is it a hot take for me to say that I think Maki Himekawa is infinitely more attractive than Kyoko Kuremi due to the fact that I feel Kyoko's design is trying way too hard to be sexy whereas Maki comes across as more naturally attractive? I don't know if that's just a me thing.
Welcome to the Digimon Tamer-Gamer Girls Bracket! Here we'll pit all our favorite Digimon video game girls against each other, and see which comes out the true champion!
Above I have gathered every single female tamer in a Digimon game that I know of (if you know of any that aren't listed, please drop a line!), and together, we will host a series of polls to determine who is the favorite among them!
This bracket does not feature characters with no art, crossover characters, or characters who originated in anime but later appeared in games.
Polls will begin this Wednesday at 6:00 PM EST to give a few days for people to submit any unlisted female characters! You are also welcome to submit propaganda to be posted alongside a character!! Polls will last a week each. Due to the number of entries, polls will be post in sets of ~11 each for the first round, and ~8 each for the second round, after which they will be posted all at once.
You can find the full list of matches - and the dates when they'll be posted - under the cut. Good luck to all our girls!
EDIT: Matches were re-made after additions of the New Century cast, Appmon 3DS cast, and several miscellaneous others!

hacker’s memory had no fucking right to hurt me so much with the ending holy fuck. everyone but keisuke forgets about erika!!! and they have no memory of their digimon partners, or the friendships that were forged through EDEN and digimon… erika lives on as hudiemon in the digital world but, like. christ. keisuke has to live with being the literal last person on earth who knows the true cost of their current peace. insane. digimon continuing to wreck me emotionally twenty-some years after I first got into it as a kid
this song cropped up every now and again in Cyber Sleuth, but i now know what it’s called: I Can Clown Around Anytime, But I’ll Dance. quite a nice bop.
