Wow. How did I miss this thread a year ago? Anyway... I think that like most of us, I'd get along with some of them and not with others. Assuming that we were all students in the same high school, I think it might play out a bit like this...
Hunter - The geeky introvert who hangs out with somewhat more social kids, but doesn't really get anything from it except a window to their lives. Yes, this was me in high school.
--- ADVENTURE ---
Taichi - Sports star. We may hang out in the same group, but he and I are on different wavelengths. He might accept me, but we aren't exactly close. Little more than acquaintances.
Yamato - Boy star. Extroverted and friendly, we'd probably get along on most things, except our tastes in music. Mostly because I'd probably say his tastes are too focused to really understand music as a whole.
Jyou - A nerd type, he's not the mst outgoing, but spends too much time studying for my tastes. This is because we learn in different ways and at different paces, which throws a schism between us as he would try to push me to apply myself and I'd try to get him to chill a little about the studying. Not necessarily "party time" chill, but "play some video games" chill.
Koushirou - A geek type, I think he and I would mesh well. Both into computers and technology, we might actually spend time hanging out and playing video games together, and maybe even lamenting our poor luck with the ladies, with such geek classic lines as, "I guess I just don't understand the ladies."
Takeru - A bit withdrawn about himself, but outgoing and friendly all the same. We'd probably be closer than me and Tai or Yamato, but not nearly the friendship of me and Koushirou, nor the rivalry of me and Jyou. We'd get along... reasonably well.
Daisuke - A bit like Taichi, a bit like Takeru, he'd probably be the closest thing to my antithesis among all the Digimon characters from every season... except MAYBE Masaru. A bit of a slacker, not concerned with showing off what he learned, more focused on athletics and chasing girls... Yeah, sort of my opposite there.
Iori - Strikes me as being the thoughtful type. Not especially outgoing but a threat if he should get really angry, on both the intellectual and the physical levels. We would probably get along pretty well, considering that his intellectualism is on a bit of a hodgepodge of topics, a bit like mine. Not a specialist in any, but knowledgeable about a few. So probably good intellectual rivals, and friends in a manner of speaking.
Sora - Atheletic and not a fool, she very easily reminds me of a girl I actually knew in school. Granted their athletic activities are different, but if there was one of these girls I would flat out have a crush on, it would probably be Sora, because she's smart enough without being a "brain" who worries more about learning than anything. We might get along, but after I asked her out the dynamic would change a bit... for better or worse, I can't say.
Mimi - Strikes me as a cheerleader type of person, and I found that I was never actually interested in any of the cheerleaders while I was in high school. As much as I do like her as a character for being strong-willed and independent, she ultimately still feels too materialistic for me to feel the way about her now that I did when I was 18. We would probably clash when we had to discuss anything.
Hikari - A tease. She's attractive but not hot, with more inner than outer beauty, in my mind. I imagine that if she was relatively true to what the series portrays we would get along reasonably well, even though I might not agree with how she behaves. I wouldn't be interested in dating her, though, so we'd just be friends.
Miyako - A brainy girl, she has the intellect of Koushirou, but it's matched by a libido that gets ignored because she's not as good looking as Mimi or Sora. We'd probably get along well in computer and intellectually oriented things, and she might be my first. Yeah, in that context, she might. But mostly I think we'd just be good friends, at least until that happened, if at all. ((- As much as I hope I would wait for the right girl, if Miyako [or any other girl I would be willing to date] was ready to go, I'm not sure I would say no to her. -))
--- TAMERS ---
Takato - Young at heart, creative, and a bit introverted, Takato would probably be the character I'd most aspire to be. I'd probably get along well with him, and we would double-team Digimon ideas, with me writing them while he draws. We would get along, and possibly be the two closest of the group because of our inner youth.
Jenrya - I'd probably also get along well with Jenrya, since we're both deep thinking and fairly patient. We would probably have some debates, but nothing seriously threatening to our friendship.
Ruki - I would try to get along with her, but I'm not sure if she would get along with me.
Hirokazu - He's the type of guy I'd want to punch in the face for talking down to his friends as if he was the best thing that ever happened to them. We might get along on the surface, but beneath it would be a sea of hostility.
Kenta - We might get along, but he seems pretty dedicated to Hirokazu as a friend, and he would probably try to stay neutral in the obvious conflict between us, or else side with Hirokazu.
Juri - A dilemma. Although I would probably be attracted to her -- she is cute and introverted -- I would also see her obvious attraction to Takato. If she were to come up to me, we might date, otherwise I think we'd get along well because of our mutual friend in Takato.
Shiuchon - I would NOT get along with her. I would try at first, but I think that if her character in the show is any indication, I would be hearing her as a fangirl crushing over fictional characters and she would... probably write slashfic just because she can. She'd be a kind of person who in spite of similar interests to me, I would find myself unable to get along with without both of us being silent.
Ryou - I might try, and he might try, but I think we'd end up butting heads too often for varying reasons to say we'd really get along well.
--- FRONTIER ---
Takuya - We might get along, but it would be in probably a similar way to how Takato or Yamato and I get along.
Kouji - I think we'd clash, but mostly because I think people would compare us to each other, when we're very little alike.
Izumi - We might get along because neither of us has a lot of friends, and we might date, at her initiative, even though that would make my other friend jealous...
Junpei - We'd probably get along from our common plight of being overweight, and we might even push each other to lose the excess weight. A common interest in Izumi might make us rivals, but I think that he and I would be mature enough to settle it without our fists.
Tomoki - We MIGHT get along, but I have a feeling he'd have more in common with Shiuchon than with me.
Kouichi - I really can't say. We wouldn't be close friends, but we might get along.
Hunter - The geeky introvert who hangs out with somewhat more social kids, but doesn't really get anything from it except a window to their lives. Yes, this was me in high school.
