All of us saw him and then saw Ryo in Tamers and automatically make the connection. I know I did. But in the backstory to this event, and art shown, gives this other boy a Veemon partner. Not the Monodromon that Ryo's Cyberdramon dedigivolves too.

Note: I'm not trying to be argumentative. That is far from my intention. Just putting my opinions, observations, and connections out there.

Ryo does use, or is advertised with, a V-mon in that game. It's a video game, so I'm not sure if you can choose your partner Digimon or if you just use the V-mon, but yes, he uses one. It' still Ryo, and the Ryo from Tamers, though. Ryo doesn't actually get Monodramon until later. Though from what I read the Ryo games played fast and loose with canon a bit, that's still what they were going for.
