Oh what will REALLY upset you two is that the original writer for Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, Hiroyuki Kaikudo said that Matt X Sora were planned form the beginning because he thought Tai X Sora was too CLICHÉ. What's worse, he never told anyone on the anime staff about that intention so there was more Tai X Sora moments in the english dub and in the movie too. Heck Even the Japanese fan base was pretty VOCAL about Why Matt X Sora happened in the first place because they see more chemistry with Tai and Sora
Just more and more like Naruto/Sakura/Sasuke then. If you plan a pairing from the beginning, BUILD THEM UP PROPERLY.
Even with the added moments in the english version, Taichi and Sora still had more moments and chemistry than Yamato and Sora ever did..
Also, people who are close isn't anywhere near as cliche as the girl going for the "loner bad boy" character. Plus I hate the word "cliche" because things that are considered as such can be done well enough so they don't seem cliche.
