In addition to this, the official website of the Digimon Adventure 15th Anniversary had Davis (Daisuke) from the second season of the Digimon anime, Digimon Adventure 02, in its meta tags last May. This may hint that he might appear in the upcoming Digimon Adventure trianime, as well as any other characters from the second season.

Davis himself is the main character from Digimon Adventure 02 and this piece of information could hint that he could be appearing in the third season. This could also mean that other characters or Digimon from the second season would also appear and that the events that occurred in 02 could carry over.

The toys were based on Tamagotchis, which were also produced by Bandai. The toys were seen as more female orientated products, so Bandai created a new line of products for a male equivalent. The first anime adaptation, Digimon Adventure, was produced in 1999 by Toei Animation. A film and TV anime were released alongside each other in 1999, the movie being a 20 minute anime produced by Mamoru Hosoda (Wolf ChildrenThe Girl Who Leapt Through Time).
