Talk:Digital World (Adventure)

ancient Digital World

 * Pharaohmon: It is said that it evolved from Mummy Digimon, and it boasted absolute power in the ancient Digital World, ruling many areas. As for the mysterious ancient ruins that dot the Digital World, many Digimon were under Pharaohmon's control at the Genesis of the Digital World, and from these places which are said to have been raised in just a few days, that control can be perceived.
 * Lucemon: Said to have descended to the ancient Digital World long ago, it is an Angel Digimon which has the appearance of a child. It manifested in an era in which the Digital World was still chaotic, and it it is said that it brought about order and harmony. However, because of a later "Rebellion" against Lucemon, it summoned a long period of darkness.
 * Paladin Mode: As the final, strongest form of Imperialdramon that was told of since ancient times, it descended in a time of great disruption in the ancient Digital World, and rescued the world from complete collapse. However, all of the details of that era are a mystery, and if research into Digimon and the Digital World progresses, it is likely that they will eventually be clarified.
 * Orochimon: A gigantic Demon Dragon Digimon which possesses eight heads. However, while there are eight heads, seven of them are dummies, and the black head in the middle is the only real one. The roots of Orochimon's creation are old, and even in the ancient Digital World its menace was a thing immemorial, but although it was a being that could drive an Area to the very brink of destruction, it was sealed due to the tamer of a "being" which sought to preserve the harmony of the Digital World.
 * Shakkoumon: A Mutant Digimon which Jogress-evolved from Ankylomon and Angemon. It possesses white wings on its body, which shines silver, and according to one theory it is an Angel Digimon which descended to the ancient Digital World. It can rotate its neck and torso 360°, allowing it to attack facing every direction.
 * UlforceV-dramon: A Holy Knight Digimon based on a legend that only appears within a certain "Prophecy", handed down from the ancient Digital World. In that "Prophecy" is written the appearance of the "Royal Knights", the guardian deities of the Network, and based on the "Prophecy", it is said that the Digimon that are called the "Royal Knights" will assemble at the time of the Digital World's greatest crisis.
 * Baromon: “勇気のデジメンタル”のパワーによって進化したアーマー体の魔人型デジモン. 忘れ去られた密林の寺院の遺跡(データベース)を守る守護神でもある. バロモンは旧世代のデジモンの生き残りと言われており､現在のデジモンたちにはないロストテクノロジーの能力をいくつか持っている. 額の第3の目もその1つであり､額の目は未来を見通すことができると言われ､古代デジタルワールドの崩壊時にも生き延びることができたと伝えられている｡
 * Ten Legendary Warriors

Locations
Why are we adding sections for places that don't appear on the anime? If it's because there's no other article for them, why don't we create a "Digital World (Bandai)" for places that don't appear in any media? Or maybe we should reformulate Digital World into a page that lists the areas of the Digital World, with links for the various anime and manga Digital Worlds. 20:59, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nearly all of the named places in the profiles and Bandai junk also appear in Adventure or the materials that it crosses over with, like Adventure V-Tamer 01, or Digimon World 1, etc. Splitting the profile-based info into a separate page would result in a crapton of disambigs for very stubby topics that are virtually identical, soooo...yeah.
 * Digital World is supposed to have navigation to the various Digital World (series) articles, yeah. 21:29, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know that it has navigation, but that is not what I meant. Like a list of areas in the Digital World, with links to the anime and manga Digital Worlds, and also the coverage for the areas that don't fit into any of linked articles. Like:

(Lead text)

Digimon Adventure and 02
Main article: Digital World (Adventure)

Digimon Tamers
Main article: Digital World (Tamers) (etc.)

Royal Base
(Royal base description)
 * Is that workable? 21:48, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Eh, there are barely any times the profiles mention an area that isn't explicitly part in the adventure materials, and they're usually tied into areas that are. Royal Base and the Kernel are probably the only ones, and it seems simpler just to cover all of those on the Adventure page. I mean, they have to be in some Digital World, and all precedent points to Adventure. 22:26, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, it's true that they must be in some Digital World, but what if it's not any already depicted Digital World?
 * Thinking at it, File Island is present in Adventure, V-Tamer, Digimon World, and will be present in Re:Digitize, and is also mentioned in some Digimon profiles, if I remember well.
 * Considering all of this, I think it's more likely that Bandai has it's standard Digital World, with most anime using alternate Digital Worlds, and that V-Tamer, Adventure, DW, and Re:Digitize's Digital Worlds being based on this standard Digital World (which might or not be the central Digital World in the multiverse, but this is improbable and a mere speculation). 22:18, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Right, and there is such an extreme amount of overlap with the various materials in the Adventure universe (Adventure, Adventure 02, Adventure V-Tamer 01, Digimon World 1, Digital Card Battle, the Tamer series, several of the other games) that it would be extremely redundant to separate those that appear in the dictionary profiles from those that appear in works that are explicitly Adventure. The Digital World is clearly the same one whether or not the DigiDestined actually appear (though whether or not it is the same timeline is another matter).
 * You've got to remember, we have several incompatible variants on the Frontier, X-Antibody, and even Xros Wars Digital Worlds. However, the layout is the same, so we cover them together and mention which ones appear in which specific works (or, we intend to). It's a lot like the various multiversal streams in Transformers, except ours are much less formal. 23:00, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Then, should we rename the page as "Digital World (Bandai)" or "Digital World (Standard)" or sometinhg like this? Because Adventure and V-Tamer are explicitly portrayed as separate universes and I think we shouldn't list this as "Digital World (Adventure)" when there are other universes besides the Adventure one that have different versions of the same locations. Also, why do we list DW2's Digital World here? 23:25, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Network
Shouldn't we make a whole article for it? It's quite important and doesn't appear ONLY in Our War Game. I heard it has a sort of role in Tamers too...84.251.27.117 20:00, February 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * We don't have much info on it, though, besides that a lot of Digimon patrol it or try to invade it.192.249.47.195 20:06, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

Directory Continent and WWW Continent
The names of the media that these two continents appear in should be added in if we know them (have never played the games though so I wouldn't be sure of the details) Canuck1990 (talk) 08:01, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

Dark Ocean
Farm for info, eliminate speculation, and add citations/storylinks: The Dark Ocean is a space within which everything is hued with dark colors and tones and tainted with evil powers. It is little known and has only been featured or mentioned in Digimon Adventure 02 a few times.

Its origin is unknown but maybe it was a part of the Digital World, mostly the Net Ocean, which was detached and insulated from its original homeworld and eventually transformed into a dimension of its own.

Its waterways are home to Scubamon and they are servants to the ruler of the Dark Ocean Dragomon, which they refer to as "Undersea Master" or "Dark Undersea Master". Dragomon (Adventure) has only appeared in the series at a cameo and as a being covered in shadows far in the distance.

It is implied it is related to negative emotions and feelings and those that are overwhelmed or hard-pressed due to these tend to fall or be attracted towards the Dark Ocean and, if not able to free itself, imprisoned inside its own interior darkness, amplified by the intense dark power contained within the dimension. Such process causes immense suffering and mental struggle to the one/ones affected.

It can also act as a place of virtually inescapable imprisonment as the mighty Daemon, one of the Seven Great Demon Lords, was confined within it through the combined efforts of the DigiDestined and the power of their Digimon: Imperialdramon Fighter Mode (Adventure), Silphymon (Adventure) and Shakkoumon (Adventure), despite being able to open gates to the Digital World and Earth.

It is also hinted that it is only one of several dimensions unknown to the protagonists and that, if the spaces between them are torn apart and the dimensions merge, a single dark dimension would exist. It would likely be somewhat similar to the Dark Ocean.

Net Ocean
Farm for info, eliminate speculation, and add citations/storylinks: The Net Ocean is the vast saltwater body that covers most of the Digital World´s surface and accounts for much of its data.

It is believed that some of the first digital lifeforms evolved within it in the shape of beings that were perhaps somewhat similar to Poyomon, which is considered a "missing link" and key in the understanding of the origin of Digimon. These pioneers then gave rise to subsequent, more complex digital creatures that eventually became true, fully-fledged Digimon.

The Net Ocean is also the closest domain to the Digital World´s dark realm and prison, the Dark Area, which is located just beneath it.

A distinct space, the Dark Ocean may be associated in some ways to the Net Ocean and perhaps even once a part of it that became corrupted and tinted dark that, at some point, was severed and isolated from the rest of the Digital World and became its own dimension.

Though most of the time it is a calm and predictable place, at times it is partly or entirely governed by extremely powerful Digimon such as MetalSeadramon (Adventure), belonging to the Dark Masters; AncientMermaimon, of the Ten Legendary Warriors; Neptunmon, a member of the Olympus Twelve; Leviamon, one of the Seven Great Demon Lords and Splashmon, which belongs to the Big Death-Stars.

Most members of the Digimon field called Deep Savers is comprised of its dwellers.

It is probably the most inhabited area in the Digital World but, due to its huge size, it is sparsely populated and most of its residents are separated by vast distances, though congregations of one or several species of Digimon are known to occur.
