I'm not going to give them credit for an idea wrapped around a horribly written and flawed series, especially since they're piggybacking of Tamer's Biomerge Evolution, just taking the Digimon portion out of the equation.

It's ultimately one unique idea (Spirits instead of partners), written around the same cast (Brash leader, cold second who leaves the team briefly, action girl who fails at action, and a late bloomer), a story that feels so generic shonen it hurts, and a weak "Twist" (Koichi).
It brings one new dish to the table, but ultimately, it's serving the same thing every other series other than Tamers served.
