Actually, the only thing I edited was my favorite turtle section. My location has been written this way for the past couple of years.

Glad to have Tai back but I want Matt back too. Never quite got the plot reasons for why Davis, Cody, and Yoeli doubled up the other six's strengths and they had to open the gate for the other six to enter yet T.K. and Karai were able to side grade to digi-armor. I am not complaining just 14 years later and still not making sense to me.

Well, Adventure was only supposed to be one series and was supposed to end with an epilogue with Yamato and Sora together according the series director. During its run, another series was ordered. Adventure 02 was pretty much promoting the D3 at the time as well as the D-Terminal along with some elements from the Wonderswan games (V-mon, Ken, Wormmon, for example).
Also, for Adventure's continuity, to be chosen one had to be 12 or younger, which was mentioned in Adventure. It's like only kids can help mostly. The 02 ages were...
Jou: 15 (last year of Junior High unless his private school held both junior and high school)
Taichi/Sora/Yamato: 14 (second year at Odaiba Junior High School)
Koushirou: 13 (First year at Odaiba JHS)
Mimi: 13 (First year of JHS if in Japan/maybe last year in NY)
Miyako: 12 (Last year at Odaiba Elementary)
Takeru/Hikari/Daisuke/Ken: 11 (5th year at Odaiba/Tamachi Elementary)
Iori: 9 (3rd year at Odaiba Elementary)
There was an age restriction on being chosen, which was probably why the three vets (Takeru, Hikari, and Ken) could contribute and help while Taichi and the others couldn't.
The show was also being a bit realistic too. Elementary school students have a lot of free time, unless you were like Jou who was attending a cram school since he was trying to get into the private school he's in for 02 (public JHSs don't have entrance exams, but all high schools do). Junior-high-school students don't have as much free time. ES students don't have as much testing, nor do they have mandatory school club activities. For public JHSs, all students must participate in a club activity.
This is more than likely why we saw Koushirou more than Taichi and Yamato more than Sora. Koushirou was in the computer club and Yamato had a music club. Not as time consuming as sports clubs (Taichi had soccer/Sora had tennis) and they don't meet as much. Sports clubs can even meet during school vacations. For example, in movie 4, despite being on spring break, Sora was busy with her tennis club.
For this upcoming series, I could see the following being busy with real life stuff out of the Adventure/Adventure 02 cast....
Jou preparing for university entrance exams as he would be in his final year of high school
Koushirou/Mimi: They would be first year high school students so plenty of testing
Miyako preparing for high school entrance exams
Takeru/Daisuke: I could see both doing a sports club (basketball and soccer respectively)
So yeah...that's my theory.
