Talk:Family

Bloody hell. It's a good thing most of this was easy to remember, or I would have murdered somebody. Anyway, extra stuff:

Other possible names
Each of these is a roughly equivalent topic that needs to be covered in the article as well, but "DigiMemories" is the only solid, verified, and prominent name that I know of. They're also actual items, so would be easily organized next to Crests and DigiEggs, as opposed to any of the rest of these, which would be just kind of loose.


 * Families (can we source this name?)
 * Fields (『フィールド』)
 * Species (from Dawn, Dusk, DS)
 * DNA

Other considerations
Go ahead and reply to each of these separately, under their paragraph, so that things don't get confusing.

The Next manga spells the memories out in katakana, though they are usually written in kanji, which I've provided. Do we want to use the katakana used in the manga, or the more grammatically correct and illustrative kanji?

Do we want to use the dub (from the cards and games) names, or the anime/Japanese names? For example, "Nightmare Soldiers" as opposed to "Soldiers of Nightmares", or "Aquan", as opposed to "Water".

I've listed the first appearances in the parallel card series for each field, though I don't know which edition exactly came first. The only way I know how to check this is checking when the first archives on the wayback machine are for each cardlist on the Digimon Card Menu.

Also, any info from the manga or anime would be appreciated (like "Piedmon's Nightmare Soldiers", etc.), especially any about the Fields concepts before they were rewritten as DigiMemories.

Should the Emblems or DigiMemories images be on the left?

Should we have pics for the Digitama cards, or any of the Killer/Worm/Converter cards?

The kana for "DigiMemory" and "Sage" should be added to the article, and both should be mentioned in the Digimon Next section.

Are there any field option cards in Booster 25 or 26? As always, I have no access to those.

Category:Digimon with unknown family was left out of this page. However, it is not an actual field, or even a "No field" - it is simply those Digimon who have not yet had their field revealed. As it is essentially a maintenance category for us, should we even mention it here? Not even Mr. Lister's  Koromon survived intact.  20:39, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Species to Field
...would a Holy Digimon be part of the Virus Busters family? Likewise for the rest of the Digimon in, say, Digimon Data Squad and the DS World games? Lanate (talk) 08:02, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
