1-"Remnant" in this case would be replaced/be part of the Digiworld. Digimon would be a game, played via VR, with the characters using virtual avatars when entering.

2-The characters would be absolutely normal. No Aura, no Semblance, no Silver Eyes, simple humans. However, as their avatars are fully digital, customizable, and with mad-enough H4X0R ZKI11Z edited beyond the normal extent, they don't have the physical limitations they have in the real world, and with the latter, may give their avatars abilities they shouldn't have.

3-The White Fang would be like a more serious version of Lizard Squad.

4-Grimm, it's simple: Damaged, corrupted data, so much it wouldn't even create a Sukamon. Usually created by hackers messing too much with the server.

5-Digimon Partners, obviously. Now the question is, who should have which? I thought BlackGatomon could fit with Blake, and Coronamon with Yang. Maybe a Kotemon for Jaune, since Kotemon has Knightmon along it's evolutionary line. Weiss, maybe Angemon. Not sure which one for Ruby, but it should be Rookie level.

I thought of VictoryGreymon for Pyrrha, as they share the "Victory" part, but I feel like it's too OP. Then again, Pyrrha in RWBY is a 4-time champion and a prodigy, with lots of experience and skill, so an OP Digimon may be fitting. I didn't comment on your RWBYxSMT idea because I didn't see anything I could offer feedback on. It is very solid and definitely sounds interesting.

Now, this Digimon idea seems interesting.

1. For what I gather from your setting, there's the real world, and then there's the Digital World, which contains Remnant. Correct?

2.  "...  they don't have the physical limitations they have in the real world, and with the latter, may give their avatars abilities they shouldn't have."

Does this mean that they hack their avatars? That doesn't sound like something a good person would do. Correct me if I'm mistaking.

3&4- Sounds solid enough.

5- Now, this is a nitpick, but having partners that stay on their Champion levels is something that simply doesn't compels me. That is mainly because I've never played through an entire game or read a manga. I've only watched the first 4 Animes.

And before you mention Tailmon in Adv. 01. I didn't like it that she was on champion level all the time at first, but then I realized that her backstory justifies it, so I can accept that instance.

Onto your choice of Partners for the cast: Blake and BlackTailmon is too easy of a choice; It makes sense, but I'd personally pick something that is not a cat. Yang's is perfect for her. Jaune and Kotemon are perfectly goofy. I'm on the fence on Weiss and Angemon; maybe I'd pick one with ice powers. VictoryGreymon is a good pick for Pyrrha, but like I said, it'd be more compelling if it stayed on his rookie most of the time, and digivolved through the classic means.

Ideas for Ruby's partner. You can pick from a few motifs to narrow down the possibilities:

*Wolf-like or Lupine Digimons. IDR who said it, but Ruby is supposed to reminisce a wolf-pup, personality-wise. A partner whose evolutionary line has Cerberumon or Garurumon would be good picks.

*Armory/Weaponry based Digimons. Either machine-guns, cannons, swords, scythes, etc. Phantomon could be a nice pick, if you can get over the virus/ghost thing.

*Flower based Digimons. Because of the rose motif Ruby has. Rosemon would be the easy choice, but then again, it is too easy.
