Imagine what other people would feel about it when watching such things happen.
Like imagine if Takato, Rika and Henry were minding their own business, then suddenly some jackass shows up and turns the three into pokemon.
Could you imagine the face Guilmon, Renamon, and Terriermon would make. Like your partner has turned into a creature that isn’t even a digimon and you know next to nothing about. Especially if said transformation was really fucking painful or the person being transformed is scared out of their minds, like Takato is screaming his ass off as he turns into a Charmamder, Rika is trying to resist becoming a pokemon like Riolu and Henry is practically shitting his pants as he becomes a Pikachu. Imagine being the trio’s digimon in this scenario. Really it’d be really fucked up to see such an event happen before your eyes.
