Punkmon bears a striking resemblance to Growlmon. Its "Anarchist Flame" attack mirrors Growlmon's "Exhaust Flame", and both are Dark Dragon Digimon. It and its other forms are presumably a reference to early planning for Digimon Tamers, in which its Rookie form was going to be Takato Matsuki partner Digimon, only for Growlmon's Rookie form to end up in that role instead.
