Talk:Gallantmon

Okay, problem.

The cards consistently put the mode names in parentheses, and until Data Squad, the Analyser just showed the base name, never the mode name.

So, there is two problems -
 * 1) Should the mode names be in parentheses (Bandai dub standard), or next to the name (Data Squad standard)
 * 2) Should the standard for Data Squad be logically extended to the other Mode Digimon, or do we want to be hard-nosed and say "If it full name didn't explicitly appear in the anime dub, we use the card dub"?

Personally, I'd rather allow a little fuzziness in this case, and use "Gallantmon Crimson Mode" instead of "Gallantmon (Crimson Mode)" - most of the time, the mode is said right after the base name, so it's not really treated as something in parentheses. However, that's just as I recall - the script could write it as parentheses. It would also allow standardization between all the modes, would not be confused with (Virus)/(Blue), and is what the community is used to.

A quick check shows that Dawn/Dusk do use the "fuzzy" version; however, they were made long after the cards were, and are often not completely translated. Does anyone know if modes appear in earlier games, and how they are done? Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  16:56, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
