Talk:List of Digimon

Untitled
Should we actually make a page for a list of confirmed Super Ultimates? They just seem so hard to find searching through the Mega forms. And of course, there's no reason they can't be included is both categories, Mega for simplicity, Super Ultimate because that's what they are. Sabre Knight 20:58, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I think it's a good idea. UlforceVeedramon, Arkadimon, and Susanoomon are all Super Ultimate. I really wish more use of them was made earlier on for cases like Omnimon where we've got the awkward situation of two megas DNA digivolving to another mega level, but unfortunately it's too late for that! I don't know if there are really enough Super Ultimates to justify their own page, though. Rakamon 21:09, 13 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, there's a category I made a while ago: Category:Super Ultimate Digimon which can probably take that place. Lanate (talk) 02:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The names on this page need to be corrected to their most recent versions. 20:08, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia...
someone thought it was a good idea to remove the digimon pages and redirect links to this wiki. If some one has the time, can you fix this issue? Mattwo 10:28, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Spoof Digimon...
Never heard of them, and I'm not quite sure most of them exist. KitaKitsunemon is Gabumon armor digivolved...Then JokiChuumon apparently came from some drawing on dA...And Cheerleadermon is actually named Cheergalmon. =.= Also, where did Hogmon and Porkymon come from? >_> Could someone who knows a little more about Digimon fix this? 75.175.124.192 18:30, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * All of them are correct. The first three you listed are from Door to Summer, the last two are from DigiBaby Boom. 19:48, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Do we want to reformat this as a list with katakana, alternate names, and images?

Wikimon is redoing theirs to have the names as well as debuts, and while those are good ideas, we don't really focus too much on debuts, so I don't think we need to do that here.

Problem is, the article would get crazy long.

We can:
 * 1) Add tabs based on letter range.
 * 2) Use galleries, a la Digimon Dictionary
 * 3) Say oh well and deal with it.

If we don't have an original name for the Digimon, (ex. Panbachimon), our best approximation would be listed in the alternate names, and "N/A" would be in the original name slot for the romanized name.

As for the table itself, I would recommend:


 * Sounds good and like a project that would be interesting. Does those alternate names include the various old official romanizations like "Sunimon" or "Sukamon" or "Volcdramon"? Lanate (talk) 18:28, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * If we have a source for them, sure. If it doesn't have a source, but is evident from the kana, we need to mark it somehow, though just using comments might work. 19:09, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm going to run through and do an initial framework for the A's. We're going to need to add katakana, and confirmed dubbed/romanized/unspecified naming status, as well as alternates. 20:04, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Are we doing straight dub name alphabetical? Lanate (talk) 00:18, July 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Additional question: what happens on cases where we don't have a "dub" name? I know for Aegisdramon you put it in the regular section, but it doesn't have a "dub" name at the moment, not really. Also, what happens if the "dub" name is our best approximation? Lanate (talk) 02:12, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * The sorting class will handle the order for now, we can reorder based on alphabetical once we're done.
 * You treated Aegisdramon as good as possible. 05:27, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Unnamed Xroses
Can't we add the unnamed xroses in the table with the temporary names? Sorry if it's a stupid question. NightChief 12:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure. We should do the lifeforms, too.192.249.47.196 14:33, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Conceptual names
G-SANtos has added the conceptual name for Luminamon (Nene) from Vol. 4 of the manga.

ネネ合体バッション Nene Gattai Basshon Nene Fusion Version

I'm of the opinion that we should stick to only the final, published material (although, as published conceptual art, this is kind of a grey area), or else we're going to be opening up a huge can of confusion. As a similar example, we did not include the various names listed on the conceptual art that was found when Death Generals was starting, and stuck to what appeared on the official sites or in the anime itself. We do, I think, include information from the Animation Chronicles (or at least, we're trying to, especially in terms of stuff like KoDokugumon's level etc.)

But again, this conceptual art was published as a bonus for Vol. 4 of the manga, so, grey area. What do you guys think? 16:46, August 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * We could include them as something like "this Digimon had this name at some point". I mean, we are including the contest entry names for the contest Digimon, and we are listing stuff "Lunamon", "Kululumon", and "ShineGreymon: Prominence Mode" in their page leads, so why not? 22:14, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Alternate names
This page has a list of errors (including typos) that happened in many Japanese published material (and some online stores). Man, so much abominations: Greymonmon, Acapolymon, Omegamon Zward. Not even the humans are free, we also had "Kiki Amano", "Kiichi Kimura", and even Uno and Dos with swapped names. We should start covering these. Also, the list is split in many separate pages, with links on the left corner of the page. 22:14, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Japanese name coverage
Currently, we use the wiki-chosen species name when covering a species appearance in Japanese material. However, considering that even the Japanese material has name variations like the English material, it might be reasonable to use the name given in each material, just as we do with English material.

Obstacles to that would be: unless the name variant used has an official romanization, we're not really being any more accurate; if no variant has an official romanization, it's just as much grab-ass as any other method; it's a lot harder to verify which names the Japanese material used, simply due to language barrier.

On the other hand, we could also use the "official Japanese romanization" for all Japanese material, and note variant spellings (without pretending a romanization for them) as they occur, as we used to do for English name variants.

What are the thoughts on this? 19:00, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
