Talk:Togemon

Is there any reason Lightspeed can't be Light Speed, with a space? 22:25, August 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Um, I think that traditionally is lightspeed, but there's no real reason to avoid it. We'd have to examine the dominate spelling though; iirc it was Lightspeed when I first looked, but I can double check later. Lanate (talk) 14:53, September 8, 2014 (UTC)

"Togemon appears as a giant, Haniwa-faced Easter lily cactus (Echinopsis chiloensis) " Is there a source for this claim? Togemon just seems like a generic cactus to me. If anything, I would say it resembles a Saguaro based on how well-known and iconic that cactus is.Enkiduu (talk) 11:12, December 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * It's based on Togemon flowering into a lily. 15:03, December 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * That doesn't seem like convincing evidence. Lilymon is based more on the lily plant than the Eastern Lily cactus. There's no direct connection, even in appearance, between Togemon and an Eastern Lily cactus other than the fact that both are cactus and have a very vague relation with the word "lily".

 * I mean, it looks like the right type of cactus to me, and the flower matches the flower that blooms when Lillymon evolves. It could also be saguaro based on the cactus that Mimi got her crest from, I guess. 12:23, December 8, 2017 (UTC)

 * For context we are referring to the flower that grows out of Togemon's head as the flower Lilymon actually comes out of seems to be a rose, especially in tri. Chimera-gui (talk) 17:26, December 8, 2017 (UTC)


 * My point is there's no distinguishing features that point to Togemon's design specifically being based on Echinopsis chiloensis. Togemon just seems to be a generic cactus. The flower on its head is simply several generic-looking petals, which could match any number of plants, even outside of cactus. I could just as easily say the design was based on Trichocereus, or Pilosocereus, or most likely a Saguaro. Echinopsis flowers tend to grow at the end of very long arms, as seen in the second picture you linked. No such things are seen on Togemon. Most people are familiar with a Saguaro cactus. Even if they don't know the name, they know the shape because it's an iconic shape of a cactus, tall with arms. I think it's a bit farfetched to assume Togemon is specifically based on Echinopsis chiloensis unless there's official source material stating that somewhere.
