Quote:Actually, it is a big deal when one of the major themes of who the Tamers were is CHOICE. The Digidestined were the Chosen Children, while the Tamers (by design) were the Choosing Children. Ruki CHOSE Renamon, Takato DREW Guilmon himself and Jenrya SLASHED the Blue Card of his own volition. In Tamerverse (as was amply demonstrated in the IceDevimon episode) no Digimon or Important Person can force anyone to become a Tamer or to Tame a particular Digimon, they choose for themself.
Therefore, there is a rather large difference that even showed up in the English dub of Tamers.
Yeah but everything can be spun around to choice. Rika didn't choose that she wanted a Digimon, she chose one that wanted her. Takato didn't choose for Guilmon to come alive, he chose to draw him, the Digi Gnomes (I think) chose to give life to the drawing. Henry didn't choose whether Terriermon would come alive after slashing the card, he chose to help Terriermon. There are things working on both sides.
And that's not my point. I'm not here to justify the change in words. All I'm saying is that one word isn't going to change the whole series so I don't see why its such a big deal.
