WarGreymon (Black)
All the way up to the reboot of the Japanese cards, our "BlackWarGreymon" was "WarGreymon (Black)" in Japan. However, for DMCG Alpha and Battle Terminal, it's name is BlackWarGreymon. Do we want to go ahead and combine "WarGreymon (Black)" and "BlackWarGreymon", or do we want to pretend they're different Digimon and claim that "WarGreymon (Black)" is a card-only Digimon, and BlackWarGreymon didn't have any Japanese cards until Alpha?

For extra info - the BlackWarGreymon Japanese cards for alpha and battle terminal have the same attacks as the WG Black cards. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  03:41, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, maybe we should stick to BlackWarGreymon, seeing how this wikia is technically leaning more toward the dub. However, we can always redirect the WarGreymon (Black) to the BlackWarGreymon page. - Digi9346 - Welcome to the end of the world... 11:04, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh no, I'm not suggesting renaming all instances of BlackWarGreymon - just that we could merge the WarGreymon and BlackWarGreymon pages. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  17:54, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * But wouldn't that mean that mean that we have to do the same for every Digimon starting with 'Black-' to standardise everything? Or would it simply be unique for WarGreymon? - Digi9346 - Welcome to the end of the world... 07:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * For many of the "Black" Digimon (BlackGargomon, BlackGatomon, BlackRapidmon, etc.), they are known by that name on both sides of translation. However, we also have stuff like "Agumon (Black)", "Imperialdramon (Black)", where it's not a separate Digimon, it's a modified form - however, the dub still calls it Black- or Shadow-. So far, we generally consider these the same Digimon, and so Imperialdramon (Black) is on Imperialdramon's page. Until Card Game Alpha, BlackWarGreymon was the second type - considered a WarGreymon with a dark color and virus tendencies; basically, the continued evolution of MetalGreymon (Virus). The problem is, Card Game Alpha renamed him "BlackWarGreymon", bringing him into the first type as well.
 * Okay, looking at a Japanese version of the episode, as well as screenshots from Rumble Arena, it appears that "BlackWarGreymon (Adventure)" is such on both sides of translation. I'm going to check if non-anime versions are also named BlackWarGreymon. So, the only real problem is in the cards - every card translated as BlackWarGreymon is based on a Japanese WarGreymon (Black/Virus) card. It might be easier than thought to deal with this - we can just pretend they're different but similar Digimon. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  13:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Out of curiosity, where would BlackSeraphimon/ShadowSeraphimon fit in then? It's a rather special case, isn't it, as it's not a simple recolor (at least the one in its Digimon Frontier incarnation) but a whole new Digimon in itself. Would it be treated the same way?

 * BlackSeraphimon's Japanese name is also BlackSeraphimon. So, it would be a different Digimon. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  08:09, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * ブラックウォーグレイモン(BLACKWARGREYMON) is used as the name on the D-3. I think it's safe enough to only combine them for the cards, and leave them separate elsewhere. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon  survived intact.  22:06, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
