Talk:Goggles

Do we count Digimon World in this?—Digi9346 08:30, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Never played those games before, but if the goggles did appear there, then by all means, yes.


 * Should we also include the other games where the lead character wore goggles, i.e. Digimon World DS and Dawn and Dusk?--Kid Dolomite 12:35 PT, 24 July 2008
 * We could mention them (though it would remove the "no girls" trivia). Are they ever actually used or mentioned, though?KrytenKoro 04:18, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

When Takato announces to Guilmon that he is a tamer, he puts on a pair of goggles, the iconic symbol of the main characters from Digimon Seasons 1 and 2. This was my manifesto for the unique world view of Digimon Tamers.

However, this was something that was necessary to show the children in real world (already familiar with the Digimon series) the line between reality and fiction. I felt that it would not be in the best interests of Digimon fans *or* the children now enjoying Digimon Tamers if these characters interacted with the world of Digimon Adventures, or with the characters from the previous series. (I am told that when the series began, many fans wished for links to the two previous seasons of Digimon. However, I believe that it is dishonest and unfair for writers to give in to these requests as"fan service".)
