Digimon: 3/6/1999-3/6/2009

[Lord Patamon]

I remember the first time I came across digimon, it was while reading some Toys R' Us offers booklet, at first I didn't knew it was an anime since at the time my budget for Internet wasn't in top shape plus internet here at that time was expensive, not to mention that FoxKids still didn't aired here in Mexico, we barely got FoxKids moved from the cable box pack to the non cable box one.

At that time the only mon show here was Pokemon, but then FoxKids started to air Digimon, I saw the first episode, I couldn't help but laugh at how they met their partners, I kept watching that episode and when they defeated Kuwagamon but then he returned and made them fall off that cliff and the episode ended there I got too hooked and wanted to see what will happen, from there I continued watching Digimon, then it happened.... the episode Angemon vs Devimon, seeing the little Patamon digivolving to Angemon was pretty amazing, some say it was way too incredible seeing a little winged mammal digimon turning into a big powerful angel but hey, you know the saying, good things come in smaller packs XD

I continued watching and then Gatomon came into the picture, when I saw she was Kari's partner I really was wondering what could be her next digivolution and when I saw her digivolving to Angewomon I was like whoa, Angemon you lucky dog, you got a female counterpart in your team XD

Anyhow, by then I was too hooked on Digimon I saw it everyday, I had the luck that Foxkids then aired it in several time slots, so since I was working I still could watch it at night around 9:30 PM my time so I had no problems about missing an episode.

When I saw the scene of Angemon with his arm around Angewomon and his hand on her shoulder, I was like, isn't he going too fast? I mean Angewomon and Kari didn't had much they joined the team and he already was with her like that, from there when I got internet at home I started to search anything about Patamon and Gatomon or their angel forms loving each other, I was hooked to them as pairing, it was thanks to those searches I came across Fanfiction.net, but there wasn't much fics with them yet, after all it was around year 2000-2001 and Digimon was still very new so on that area was still in slow growing.

Time passed and I kept searching and came across other digimon sites, but then one day I came across the chapter 4 of Lord Archive's Red Digivice Diaries series, it was a Gatomon/Patamon one and my first look at a lemon too, that got me into the Digimon pron, I wanted more with those two digimon but sadly there wasn't much, I did later came across with this site, it was when it had that system for the Gallery section, I did saw there was one Patamon/Gatomon image but the image was missing so I couldn't see it, don't remember well the artist who drew it but well is not on the gallery anymore anyways.

I also searched in the lemons and found another two Pata/Gato lemons one by an author named Pagalover and the other lemon by an author named Cal, both lemons are still on the lemons section by the way, I left this site for a while to keep searching, but then in 2003 I registered here on the forum, by then I also was member in the old forum on Hybrid Halogen's website, on both here and that forum saw those polls of PataGato vs VeeGato, plus I saw some lemons where Patamon wasn't treated what we can say fairly, I also saw and met Chibi Biyomon, I did saw how things went sometimes out of hand on the shippings issue too XD

But it was all that what got me on the fics and lemons writing too, and meanwhile I was doing that I also started my own site too, the rest is history XD

I can say Digimon in one way or another had certain impact on us, in different ways on each one of us but the thing is that it is an anime that sure gave us lots of fun and still does ^^
