I want to know the answer to the following question:
When did the third Digimon series begin?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Unlike the two seasons before it and most of the seasons that followed, Digimon Tamers takes a darker and more realistic approach to its story featuring Digimon who do not reincarnate after their deaths and more complex character development in the original Japanese.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
