Dub Name
In Dark Side Of The Sun, Marsmon's name gets dubbed to Marusumon. --CrestsofDetermination&#38;Loyalty (talk) 03:58, July 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * Arrgh, I want to resist this. This dub makes we want to revisit our naming policy to exclude "that's fucking stupid" names. Marusumon is worse than SlushAngemon or Lucemon Wild 2nd Mode. because Marusumon is just lazy, like Augumon. How did they fuck up Augumon? The Japanese katakana literally romanizes as Agumon. But, no, seriously, this dub makes me want to revisit our name policy like fuck; it's like they don't care anymore. Lanate (talk) 04:10, August 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * I no longer have an objection to this. Whatever the community decides, I'll roll with. Honestly, at this point I'm open to any merge offers wikimon ever deigns to make. 04:24, August 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh calm down, Marusumon is a correct romanization technically speaking. Plus having listened to it, it sounds better than you seem to think (they pronounce it ma·roo·suh·mon). Plus we have no idea why they went with Marusumon in the first place but I sincerely doubt that's a result of not caring. For all we know, Saban may not have had a choice for one reason or another but regardless Bandai/Toei still green-lit the name. Chimera-gui (talk) 04:37, August 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's a correct romanization technically speaking, which makes it look extremely lazy, regardless of the intent. By that token, "Shautomon" is a correct romanization for "Shoutmon" but use that and you'd only be laughed at. I really do want to know what the thought process behind it went, but it's not like Mars is a completely unknown concept to English-speakers. If the problem was mythology, I'd say go with Marthmon or something. But a direct romanization just looks lazy.


 * So yeah, I'm enacting a fucking stupid exception to our naming policy, which means I can finally nix Puteranomon. Lanate (talk) 05:04, August 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * No matter how stupid we might think a decision is we need to remember that it is Bandai/Toei who decide the names, not Saban. And while Mars is not an unknown concept to English-speakers, Marsmon could have easily been dubbed as Marshmon which may have been something that was Bandai/Toei and/or Saban wanted to avoid. Also Marthmon sounds like a surefire way to get their asses sued by Nintendo since is a fairly well known name. Chimera-gui (talk) 05:17, August 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not blaming Saban; I'm blaming whoever came up with it, who may or may not be Saban, as well as everyone who approved it while having a chance to change it. Just because it's an officially sanctioned name doesn't mean it can't be stupid. Lanate (talk) 05:23, August 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * You want to make a so-called "that's stupid" naming policy, fine. But you better change Centalmon to "Centaurmon" when you do it. And please remember that the name "Tailmon" exists before you go ridiculing English names. Chimera-gui (talk) 05:29, August 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's a hotbed of hypocrisy, I know that, since I'm just about to qualify that I'm not going to change well-established dub ones. And I'm not denying that stupid Japanese names exist (we have freaking Picklemon). Another thing that gets about a lot of these names is that we have already have perfectly valid dub names for them; Marsmon has already appeared in English; Toei vs Bandai differences, I know, but there could be a little more love and/or fidelity involved.
