That game is canon to both series, but the point of it is that Ryo traveled from the Adventure universe to the Tamers one. They're connected, in that the worlds can interact in some way, but only as alternate universes. The canon movie for Tamers also featured a connection, with Omegamon communicating with the Tamers cast in some way, though it was established he was from a different version as well from what I remember...which is not a lot.

Then there's Xros Wars just bringing everyone back for shits and giggles, I don't know what's up with that though.

Though Tamers treating the original Adventure series as fictional is a dub-exclusive thing, and thus not even remotely relevant to tri or anything.

The changes they're making is why it's hard to accept Meicoomon and Mei.
I sound like a complete hypocrite since I said I'm not against basically deleting 02, but it's hard to accept 02's canon of multiple "Chosen children" while then acting as if Digimon are relative unknowns to the general public and Mei having a Digivice and partner is a shocking revelation...
I'm just conflicted on what to think, since it establishes that 02 clearly happened, but then it's acting like the last 10 or so episodes of 02 didn't occur...

As for Meicoomon not being Boobsdramon, keep in mind that Biyomon's final form is Houohmon, a giant bird, so even though they're changing Gatomon's Ultimate from Magnadramon to Ophanimon, not every "Female" Digimon is going to just be a stacked anime chick in stupid armor.

There's definitely something weird regarding 02 events, which is probably something that will be addressed later. Probably. It's not a very good excuse, and I'm not trying to defend it, exactly, but eh.

And yeah, Hououmon (and Garudamon) exist, but that's one female mon from 16 years ago. As far as I can see, they've only ever gotten worse when it comes to female mons over time. I don't expect a lot out of Digimon in this area anymore.
