As I noted: pretty much everyone I interact with on a regular basis is currently following Digimon Beatbreak, which is already kinda insane to me.

But something I notice is also that in comparison to almost all other monster taming franchises (with the exception of Shin Megami Tensei, though that one is less classical monster taming, even though it definitely has that in there as well) Digimon really has this one advantage of never having tied itself down to one specific concept.

Digimon can as a show be basically anything. Digimon can be classical adventure, it can be a scifi thriller, it can be classical horror, or psychological horror, it can be soft slice of life, it can be basically anything. Heck, Digimon in the franchise are not even necessarily tied down to being really digital, as we see in Survive. And it is kind of this flexibility that allows Digimon to be a whole lot more things than Pokémon will ever be. Because in general Pokémon are magical animals. And that is just never gonna change much. Yeah, sure, Mystery Dungeon played around with other concepts, but that was it.

As I said before: Beatbreak is very much still a kids show, but it is doing a lot of theming that Pokémon just could never do, because Pokémon's concept does not allow for it. Pokémon also did some dark stuff over the years, but it just never could diverge too much from "Pokémon Trailer who is trying to be the bestest of all trainers"

Okay someone said talk about Tomoro more and my partner and I spoke and I have realized Tomoro is more of like an analytical genius who can solve problems on the fly (especially under pressure) and I wanna see that more. Just see him noting down a problem and having a solution ready in like a minute or two. Maybe even less time. Also, he does this in episode 8 too despite being new to the Digimon scene, he correctly deduces that something is wrong and Gekkomon even spots it himself (and you know what they say about mirror reflections..) also, in wikimon, I’m pretty sure his character description points out that he looks at things very critically and that’s also a skill used in analysis.

So about that one offhand comment...

So, we've known for a while that Sapotamas and Digimon are a worldwide thing thanks to the end of Arc 1 and most of the Tactics arc. Tactics is specifically described as an international Cleaner mercenary group, Klay and Granit are both from Middle Eastern Coded Areas, and there's probably more that I'm forgetting. So we can safely say the Cleaner system is the global method of managing Digimon populations. We also know that in Episode 24, after Klay lost in Not!Saudi Arabia, the Ministry just shows up near-instantly to arrest him. This implies to me that the Ministry of Civil Protection isn't merely a Japanese governmental group, but rather something with international authority if they can just show up halfway around the world to grab Klay after he's been disarmed in a few minutes. And we know that the Ministry is something the World Union set up to manage Digimon because of various statements in various episodes I haven't bothered to collect yet. My question, then, is this... How the hell did the World Union manage to ram the Ministry of Civil Protection down enough government's throats for it to be able to do that? How much political Cold Heartings had to happen? How many politicians did the World Union have to buy? How many dictators were visited by Five Stars? I doubt the show'll go into it, 'cause the Glowing Dawn are three kids mostly unaware of the wider world and Sawashiro Kyo who agressively pretends the wider world doesn't exist, but I'd love to see and explore the wider geopolitical ramifications of these details...
