The frontier series was my favorite because it was the only one where I truly enjoyed the fights just for the sake of the action. The only thing keeping the fights interesting in 01 and 02 and to a lesser extent 03 was the emotions of the characters.
In 04, the action was damn good, and in the final battles, you got to see the emotions of the characters very well (I'm not going to ruin it for you if you don't know why), because 4 of the characters had to remain in their human forms.
04 was the only season that made me feel any empathy for the characters, which is another plus in my opinion. The Kouji/Kouchi plotline provided the emotional interest, and Kouji and Takyua provided the classic Digimon two-guys-who-fight-the-whole-time-but-are-really-good-friends duo. Matt/Tai were a more interesting duo for sure, but they definitely trump the TK/Davis duo.
Bakmon and Neemon were hilarious too, providing excellent comedic relief, that, unlike the other series (Mabye because I watched this one in Japanese with English subtitles thanks to WPP fansubs), was actually funny and appropriate.
