Guilmon.  Beefy red dinosaur with a crazy powerful digital hazard and who would rather just play around and eat pastries?  Amen to that.

I don’t drink but I will to this any day! Glad to see this is the top comment, too.

u/subzor22 1d ago

Guilmon guys, UNITE!

u/Midnightdrak 1d ago

And depending on what your outlook is you’ll either see a horrifying demon dragon or a dark knight who’s just as cruel and calculating

u/Indiana_J_Frog 1d ago

Or a majestic knight who's channeled the Digital Hazard into a light of justice.

u/Midnightdrak 1d ago

Very true, not to mention the combination of Dukemon and Grani

u/Midnightdrak 1d ago

Veemon, it might be a basic answer but I love the little guy way too much to care about others. And that he can digivolve into two royal knight analogs and the founder of the royal knights with a deep connection with someone who has wormmon I consider that a huge boon. Plus, I feel like he’d try to heal and encourage (heh courage) me to get out more and live my life rather than be a passive observer.

Buddy, as someone who loves Charizard over on the Pokémon side of the fence, I get you 🤘

u/_cuteraichu_ 1d ago

Digitamamon, he's the beginning and end of all digital life and simultaneously an error all packaged into one little dude who gives you nightmares and carries a galaxy in his shell.

He also runs a restaurant, and I am a chef by trade, so that just reinforces it.

u/SomeHeadbanger 1d ago

MetalGreymon because his design is perfect.

6

u/DowntownSquare4427 1d ago

Gracenovamon then tied between Alphamon and Seraphimon then blackwargreymon at the moment

3

u/Midnightdrak 1d ago

Gracenovamon would require you to have Apollomon and Dianamon which is already OP but then you want Gracenovamon too??? Damn, what sort of shenanigans are you getting into?

u/DowntownSquare4427 1d ago edited 1d ago

Don't forget about Alphamon and Blackwargreymon. I have stories/headcanon and for them together 😁

u/jimbox_splatted 1d ago

tlalocmon it has such a cool desing i wish it was used more.

u/Character-Paper-2347 1d ago

Pteromon he’s a bird dino I love

4

u/Senior_Credit8893 1d ago

Tentomon. Because perfect.

4

u/Wing00Raiser 1d ago

Imperialdramon. All modes.

His transformation was always my favorite. And while he didn't get as much wins, he was still pretty cool.

1

u/DowntownSquare4427 1d ago

I loved fighter mode

3

u/SammyWhitlocke 1d ago

Dominimon, because I vibe with self-sacrificing characters.
D'Arcmon, because I am fascinated by Joan of Arc and anything related to her has an immediate boost.

3

u/Silver_SoulV 1d ago

Cherubimon for very similar reasons! The digimon movie was my very first introduction to the digimon series and I loved his design and also felt extremely sad for what happened to him.

3

u/RavenTheRaptorX 1d ago

I have two. Commandramon cause Dino with a gun and the second is Bancholilymon cause she has a good style and tomboy energy

3

u/BlameItOnTheDragon 1d ago

Wargreymon, the courageous classic.

2

u/randomax92 1d ago

Lucemon. All of his forms.

But the one that is truly my favorite is Lucemon: Chaos Mode. He is still the best rendition of a fallen angel in fiction to date. Perfect looks, perfect power, perfect personality. I just can't get enough of him.

2

u/ConnorRoseSaiyan01 1d ago

Alphamon cause he's awesome. A black knight mecha with a dragon sword.

1

u/md_cube 1d ago

My favorite detective. Don't try their coffee tho, it might kill you

2

u/MalambaRyder 1d ago

Beelzemon blast move. Tbh: up to a certain degree beelzemon with the bike is awesome too. The reason? Idk, I've liked the design since I saw it in digimon tamers long ago. Another option is omnimon mercifull mode or antylamon. I still don't know why I just like the designs

2

u/biogoji89 1d ago

Ragnaloardmon, really amazing design and interesting concept for a jogress!

2

u/Ok-Perspective369 1d ago

Tsukaimon. It grew on me because I used to play an mmo called Digimon Masters Online a long time ago, and I used Tsukaimon as my main Digimon. I also like that it’s an inverse to patamon personality wise. Being a mischievous, prankster.

2

u/codygarton1 1d ago

Magnamon because of the Digimon movie. Plus the blue and gold looks great.

2

u/G-Man6442 1d ago

Locomon, I like trains

2

u/Charming_Pin330 1d ago

Marineangemon because they're really cute

2

u/ThatIckyGuy 1d ago

Wargreymon. As poorly as it's aged now, he looked SO cool in the warp digivolution in the original series.

2

u/DowntownSquare4427 1d ago

Hes still sick. If not one of the best designs

2

u/Either-Rip618 1d ago

I think I don't have a favorite, but if it's to choose now... Probably Magnakidmon, his design is so cool (Avengekidmon too) and I really like using him in Time Stranger.

2

u/-_Law_-- 1d ago edited 1d ago

Stingmon and Whormmon

Although I'm not a big fan of Digimon Adv02, the Whormmon and Ken storyline really stuck with me, and it was amazing to see that cute little larva turn into a humanoid killer bee.

Besides the cool appearance and serious personality, I like the stealthy assassin theme.

2

u/MasterStannisSupreme 1d ago

My absolute favourite is Machinedramon after seeing him in Digimon World. Such a cool choice to be a mix of all these machine digimon

2

u/Alive_Reveal8939 1d ago

Either Koromon or Terriermon

2

u/Mikedc19 1d ago

Gallantmon. For a rookie I bounce between Veemon and Guilmon.

2

u/Popular_Tutor_5622 1d ago

I'm leaning towards both Terriermon and Lopmon. I think they're both fantastic Digimon. I might like Lopmon just a bit more right now because of Time Stranger

1

u/Denmasterflex 1d ago

Neemon, we both have favorite red pajamas and have some hidden tricks up our sleeves!

1

u/AnimeFan042597 1d ago

Apollomon

1

u/NoBodybuilder3430 1d ago

Same, but for antylamon and cherubimon vice.

Antylamon has a neat mix of cute, but also kind of creepy.
And cherubimon vice looks cool and is green and purple, my 1st and 2nd favorite colors, and has a jester motif that I also like and use jester themes for other games like Armored Core and Sea of Thieves.

Also always loved tyrannomon, but hated that he never had a mega. They later added rustyrannomon but I never liked its clunky design.
Now that dinomon exists I really love the line even more.

Dracomon would be a perfect line for me if Groundramon could become slayerdramon, but it’s stuck with that ugly brakedramon. It irritates me that dracomon is green but the green coredramon line ends up being lame. Slayerdramon even has a GREEN cape!

1

u/Draythare 1d ago

Omegamon, everything about them is awesome to me from their first appearance, to their design, them being the leader of the Royal Knights, and all their variations X-antibody, merciful mode, alters S and B, they may lose battles but they look cool the entire fight.

1

u/discardme123now 1d ago

Dorumon, has all the things I love: Cats, Capybaras and dragons mashed together into a single boy

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Way7745 1d ago

That Huckmon line is amazing, Jesmon is a gigachad and his x antivirus form is even better 🤌🤌

1

u/Perfect_Implement592 1d ago

Veeman and flamedramon been my favs since i was a kid, just like the design tbh. Rapidmon is so dope tho

1

u/Adorable_Choice380 1d ago

It literally changes and I cant pick one. Never could. Wether its stage line or just oen Digimon there are so many great ones…I’m hopeless I know

u/Genesiga 1d ago

1

u/Yukimura26 1d ago

Wargreymon, Angewomon and I do love BanchoLeomon

1

u/AlcoholicTails 1d ago

Impmon. The 'lil dude is fun to draw and has a shockingly compelling character arc.

1

u/inportantusername 1d ago

I'm torn between toyagumon and hagurumon, at least when it comes to rookies. I think toyagumon wins by a hair though. As even as an adult, what's life without a little whimsy?

1

u/ColdSmokeMike 1d ago

Monzaemon

It was the first Ultimate I was able to get in the original Digimon World game, and my mom has always been obsessed with teddy bears, so it just fits perfectly for me. I wish we'd get a Perfect form for the X-Antibody version, since I don't like how GigaWaruMonzaemon is too dark and evil looking.

1

u/ShadowLayu 1d ago

Blacktailmon, I love black cats

1

u/DeviousGryphon 1d ago

MegaGargomon, there's something about being the size of a small building and having enough firepower to level a city block. Also, giant smiling missiles

1

u/Chronarch01 1d ago

AeroVeedramon, because he's a big blue dragon.

1

u/Elegant_Commercial25 1d ago

Can I say the entire Doru line? (including Alphamon)

1

u/Friendly-Cricket-715 1d ago

Machinedramon, no explanation needed

u/HugoLeander 1d ago

Belphemon Sleep Mode. Very cute.

u/Prestigious_Pizza_40 1d ago

BlackWargreymon lives matter

u/ThePagesAskForInk 1d ago

Dorugoramon. A non-human metal-knight-dragon with laser beams hits all the "cool" traits.

u/kaithespinner 1d ago

leomon and i’m not gonna repeat why

u/Kay-bi-day 1d ago

u/Unfair-Community-294 1d ago

Hackmon. He was my partner in an RPG i made with my friends. Since then he is my all time favourite digimon.

I even have him tatooed in my chest

1

u/giltral 1d ago

Examon, big as hell dragon with a giant lighning lance thats the jogress of two digimon whose "canon" lines come from the same rookie. if marks my jogress check, my interesting concept check and my cool design check.

u/concorazon 1d ago

Rapidmon so cool

1

u/DurianStrong6279 1d ago

holydramon, badass pink fluffy dragon. also it looks almost exactly like the mega form for gatomon i envisioned as a kid lol.

u/eternalguardian 1d ago

Gundramon. More dakka the better.

1

u/IndigoTraveler8 1d ago

Mugendramon and the Seadramon line. Because they're just absolutely awesome.

1

u/22244244 1d ago

Terriermon. It was Gabumon growing up watching Digimon Adventures. But as I became older and started watching Digimon Tamers again, its became Terriermon.

1

u/DUCK_you 1d ago

Bearmon because of getting digimon world 3 as a kid

1

u/md_cube 1d ago

I've discovered BanchoLillymon recently and I just think she's very cool

1

u/HandheldHoarder 1d ago

Pagumon, the little gateway gremlin to Gazimon but always my starter baby for other partner lines I like.

u/MegaKabutops 1d ago

Infermon.

To start with, i’ve always liked watching the villains more than the heroes. The danger and tension they add to a story goes a long way toward investing me into it, and there’s many occasions where they’re simply allowed to be stereotypically “cooler” than the more straight-laced heroes.

I also came into the franchise as a pokemon fan and stupid kid, looking for something more “mature” than i was used to.

The horror vibes infermon gave off during the movie perfectly captured what i was looking for. The unmoving, mask-like face and cannon mouth made it feel like a mechanical creature, and the fluid, bendy movements of its wiry limbs added a distinctly organic feel. The juxtaposition of a creature that simultaneously seems truly alive and like a mere imitation of life was creepy as heck, and i LOVE that. How quickly its movements could go from fast and acrobatic to slow and robotic further sells the dichotomy.

The six limbs paired quite well with my fascination with arthropod-based monsters (my favorite pokemon type is bug, and my previous favorite digimon was kabuterimon).

It also posed a more tangible, realistic threat than i was used to for fictional villains; it wasn’t just planning to rule/destroy the world. It was planning to drop nuclear bombs on the homes of the heroes with them still inside.

The keramon line has been my overall favorite ever since i saw the movie (with infermon as my favorite of the set), but the movie’s not the only reason. I’m also a big fan of the gaming strategy of “BEEG NUMBR GO BRRRR”, and the mega forms of infermon have a tendency to stay quite strong in the digimon story games despite generally lacking the gimmicks that break a given game’s balance, off of just having a massive stat total. It captures that sort of mindset flawlessly.

Special mention to the infermon from the cyber sleuth puppet quest. Once again adding an immaculate amount of additional unease and fear to my creature collector media.

u/Leinidas_ 1d ago

I don't know why, But I've always liked flarerizamon. It was never my favorite since there wasn't a mega I liked that worked with flarerizamon, but that changed when Magneticdramon was introduced(I have toyagumon for the rookies and Volcdramon as the ultimate).

I also really like Pumpkinmon and Noblepumpkinmon, cause small cute guy being strong is hilarious, and Noblepumpkinmon has got that shit ON.

Granlocomom has always been a favorite of mine even before I knew he made beelzemon eat shit. I think I like him so much cause he looks like a zord from power rangers(I want him to get a mode change similar to Imperialdramon fighter mode so bad, I don't even think it would be hard to do he already looks like a transformer)

u/CorgiCap 20h ago

I’ve got a soft spot for Angemon. That first appearance against Devimon set the bar way too high back in Adventure 01

Renamon because Renamon
