Something that has always bothered me is that Digimon doesn't take advantage of its backstory. Some versions make an effort, such as Tamers and the fact that the D-Reaper is based on the actual first computer virus and anti-virus, for one, but mostly they just go the easy 'fantasy' route. Nothing wrong with that, but c'mon, they're DIGITAL monsters!
For comparison, a while back, pokemon collaborated with a museum in Japan where they compared their fossil pokemon with the real extinct animals they were based on. Wouldn't it be cool if Digimon did a similar thing, but with like, say, the history of computer science? Like Agumon Hakase and Terriermon Assistant walking you through the work of Charles Babbage, through the Astanaoff-Berry Computer and ENIAC (which were both referenced in the Brave Tamer WonderSwan game), the advent of home computers and the internet, etc.
Yeah, so, that's my nerdy rant. What do you guys think?
