Forum:Insect/Insectoid

Which one do I use? I've been using Insectoid type as that was used everywhere, but SkullScorpiomon has Insect. Is Insectoid a US type or is Insect a US type and which one is the translation for the JP one? Lanate (talk) 19:07, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * "Plant" and "Insect" are the translations I've been using for the Japanese types, since they sound more in line with other type names, and wikimon uses them. Technically, they can also be translated as "Vegetation" and "Insectoid", which are the American versions. However, it sounds a bit weird to be calling AncientTroiamon a Vegetation, when it's a wooden toy, or calling Kabuterimon merely Insectoid, when he's a full insect.
 * If it's trouble, then we can use the dubbed version for everything, it's just that to me it seems to be an imperfect translation. Glorious  CHAOS!  20:24, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm gonna do (Ja:) Insect, Plant and (En:) Insectoid, Vegetation. Lanate (talk) 02:32, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * "幻" character, I've been translating as "Phantom" but the card game used "Mythical", i.e. GoldVeedramon I'd call "Phantom Dragon" and it calls it "Mythical Dragon". How close it is to the above case; i.e. should I split it into (Ja:) Phantom and (En:) Mythical or combine them both into Mythical? Lanate (talk) 18:43, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
