I don't agree with the Gato/Tailmon comparisons, but otherwise, I just can't really remove the thought of Mei just being something I'd think up during one of my Digimon marathons (Also, I'm pretty sure Meicoomon is a girl).

Mei isn't the crux of the plot, I'll give you that, but she has felt more of a vital character than anyone else. Even in the episode that was supposed to feature Joe prominently had more Mei than anyone else. Joe's revelations felt rushed because we needed Mei being a shy anime girl for half the movie.
Also, I just feel that, with Meicoomon's recent reveal, that her role is going to grow from tagger on to a more predominant and active one, forcing herself into the spotlight.

I could be entirely wrong and she'd just end up being just a prominent addition, rather than our true main character, but just using my knowledge of tropes and Digimon's penchant for weak twists, I have my doubts.

Also, I'm not going to lie. Her digivice turning black with a red glow basically feels like something I'd see on Deviant Art, which is probably what painted her as the ultimate OC Donut Steal in my eyes

Also, have fun with Savers. Mercifully, Rosemon isn't one giant jiggle scene. Only during "Epic" fights (Where they get more "Dynamic" animation) is when she becomes eye-rollingly bad.
