Well, yeah, as you said. Yoshimura was the one, who said, everything is to dark, and children need something stupid and also won't see plotholes, even if they beat them... My guess lately is, that Maekawa, the other guy, who also was involved with the series composition would have liked the darker parts and stuff, since his newest series, the sixth season of Pretty Cure, was Zero Two over and over. There are the same character-types, you can see some of the plots returning in a somehow altered way, but the characters have more motivation, more depth and gosh, the finaly was so dark and so... digital.
About Ryou I want to correct you. He is not from an alternate reality, but from the world of Digimon Adventure himself. He was - whyever - given a Digivice in the end of 1999 to save the children of Adventure, who were kidnapped by Milleniumon and brought into the digital world. He becomes partner with Taichi's Agumon, since there was no partner for himself. In Tag Tamers and D1-Tamers he partners up with a V-mon, which is later chosen

Yeah, I've heard this is a highly debated topic aomng fans. Because I've never played the video-games, I'm not entirely sure what to determine fundamentally about Ryo. I'm biased towars Konaka's interpretation only because I like his writing.
Where can you read more about the writing team of Adventure 02? Konaka is the only name I'm familiar with, but not the others. It would give me more to go on if I knew what the others were involved with.
The games are pretty awesome, really. I have bought a Wunderswan Color, so I could play them without Emu and Rom. even though I cannot play Brave Tamer with the WSC ;___

From what I see, Yoshimura was never part of the original Digimon Adventure writing team. When I first saw Adventure 02, I didn't even know what a "plothole" was, but this much I can tell you--I noticed something was "wrong." Today I can draw it all back to the fact that, at the time, I wasn't enjoying the Adventure 02 experience as much as I enjoyed the original Digimon Adventure.
If you're a kid eating a bar of chocolate and you want more, you're not going to take sour tart with as much gusto if the adult tells you, "They're both made with sugar--so the child won't tell the difference." Whether or not we knew candy contained sugar has nothing to do with the fact that we could tell the difference in how it tasted in our mouths.
That was more or less my problem, plus the simple fact, that 02 started in germany in the summer of 2001 and I only watched the german dub first, while I started watching Tamers with the japanese release in spring 2001. So I had this hard contrast: Something serious and something, in which I waited for it making sense. I really loved Ken. He was my favorite male Digimon character for a very long time. But that plus the waiting for the Dagomon Arc to continue was pretty much everything that kept me watching.
Plus: All the stuff about the crests and why the Digimon suddenly couldn't evoluve normally seemed pretty weird to me, even as a kid.
I was under the impression that it was Taichi's digivice that he was using (hence why he could only "capture" enemy digimon and not evolve partners of his own). If I recall correctly, he didn't get a digivice (a D3) until one of the later games.
If you were a fan of the games back in the day, imagine seeing Ken/Digimon Kaiser in the new season of Digimon. I imagine it would be like the best thing ever.
I am pretty sure, that the D3 he got was his own. But I am not entirely sure about the normal one.
Well, the Tag Tamers game was released while 02 was already airing. But it was pretty awesome to see Ryo in Tamers (even though for my the Ryou of the games is the only true Ryo)
