"Joining" Tamers?

According to the article, Ryo had accually chosen to leave his universe and join the Tamer's universe. However, there is hardly even any proof that this Ryo is the same Ryo of the games. He might be from some alternate dimension of some kind. The references link to a comic from a magazine, which doesn't seem to be canon (more like a fancomic).

"An issue of V-Jump magazine had a question posed by a reader, asking if the Ryo in D1-Tamers and the Ryo in Tamers are the same person. The answer was a positive one, citing "Brave Tamer"'s story as an explanation, sidestepping the continuity problems posed."KrytenKoro

Also:

" Even before I had joined the Digimon Tamers team, there was a character that had already been destined to appear in the third season of Digimon.

This was Ryo, the main character of the WonderSwan Digimon game.

As Ryo was a very popular character in Japan, the plan was to draw him into the TV series, as well. However, since Digimon Tamers has a very different world view and continuity from the previous Digimon series, it was difficult to figure out how to introduce him.

I let Mr. Motoki Yoshimura handle all of Ryo's character development, as Ms. Genki Yoshimura was the screen writer for Ryo's first episode. Ryo's refreshingly confident personality doesn't exactly contradict the character from the WonderSwan game, but I still feel that it made him uniquely part of the Digimon Tamers world."KrytenKoro
