Look at the Pokemon fandom as a comparison, not in terms of popularity, but in how it operated. The staggering amount of people who will come and say how "Gen 3 was my jumping on point" proves that you don't have to be an alpha fan of a franchise to still enjoy it. You're speaking as if Digimon is primarily fueled by nostalgia, not new fans tuning in to a new Digimon series.

That's not a fair comparison since Pokemon was constantly on people's minds because the anime & games never skipped a beat when it came to getting showcased on channels & stores. That's why Pokemon is so popular, it was always around. Digimon wasn't. It suffered with the Fox Kids/Disney property deal & disappeared, pretty much being held hostage on Toon Disney with very little attention brought to it. Since it wasn't in the public eye lots of people didn't know the show continued. It's not that seasons are better than others, it's that Digimon peaked publicly during the first two seasons. Xros Wars & Frontier could've been first & they'd be the ones getting the the so-called praise you think Adventure gets just because they were first & up on the front lines for all to see.
