Talk:ExtraGuilmon

Characters vs species
It's something that I thought about when I moved this page, but are the "Extra" characters (Agumon, Guilmon, Agunimon, Lobomon) species or characters? We've kind of been going both, but... I could see the argument, especially since the "Extra" is only in supplemental materials, that these are characters. Lanate (talk) 04:36, January 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'd say that these would not count as their own species since they're supposed to be the normal Digimon species only with the ability to Warp Digivolve to Mega or the equivalent thereof in the case of Agunimon and Lobomon without unlocking intermediate stages like Greymon, KendoGarurumon, Gallantmon, Aldamon, etc beforehand.

 * Honestly, it feels more like a "costume" for the character than anything else. It's still Taichi's Omegamon, Takato's Dukemon, Takuya's KaiserGreymon, or what have you. I feel like it would be more parsimonious if we listed it as an additional name for the species and character. 15:40, January 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * It was wicked ambiguous in game, and the reason why I don't immediately say they are is because the only reason why we tie the game characters to canon characters is the portraits that identify partners, which the Extra Digimon lack. The only reason why I have no hesitation about ExtraAgnimon and ExtraWolfmon have links to Takuya and Koji is because they're explicitly them during PvP. I'm willing to call them characters, though I do waffle on ExtraAgumon and ExtraGuilmon. Lanate (talk) 05:33, January 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * As an aside, the guide also lists attack names. EX Digimon have almost, but not quite, the same moveset as their original counterparts. Lanate (talk) 16:49, January 23, 2016 (UTC)
