The Digimon profiles are meant to represent Digimon from the original source material, IE, the Virtual pets, NOT the anime or games.

I mean, you're assuming that the Pokedex entries are unreliable when there's no real reason to assume that.

The assumption is based on how some Pokedex entries either conflicts with each other (like how Gen 6 entries for Mega Evolutions paint them in a good light, while Gen 7 entries makes it like you're actively trying to torture your own Pokemon) or how some thing mentioned flat out makes zero sense (the infamous "Magcargo is hotter than the sun" entry is one of them, another is the equally infamous Entei's two dex entries which are not conflicting, but if both are true, then there should be infinite number of Entei in the world).

But that's Pokemon, and this is the Digimon thread, so I won't say more than that XD

Well, at least some Digimon do come close to their profiles in the animes such as Lucemon in Frontier

[up][up] The Mega Evolutions part is actually Foreshadowed in the Pokemon Anime, as the Korrina's Mega Lucario turned batshit insane and blood thirsty like his Gen 7 entry says he is.

And no, it doesn't contradict anything because aside from a couple of OR/AS Megas (Which already hint at this, with Mega Glalie's jaw being dislocated open in its Dex entry) There were no Dex entries for Megas in Gen 6.

Similarly, Digimon Entries are meant to be representative of their V-pets, not the anime or manga versions. The games, ironically enough, are the most accurate to the V-pets and the digimon guidebooks.

I still really hate the Pokedex entries for Megas in Gen 7.

It comes off as hey kids! Use Z-moves, because Mega evolutions are super bad and you should feel bad!

They basically went overboard in trying to promote their latest gimmick and threw the previous one under the bus.

I'm glad the anime is ignoring the megas are evil shit.

....although the fact the energy comes from dead mons is a bit of a clue to that.

[up] Also Megas were supposed to be a bond mechanic out of friendship, but we're getting offtopic.

Anyways, hopefully a future anime series can do Alphamon's GER-like powers justice

Hey guys, I saw this article online that said it was an Adventure 02 episode that not only beat Pokemon but also put Fox Kids on No 1. Kinda makes you wonder why the love for 02 reversed overnight.

You're sorta phrasing this in an misleading way. Like it only visibly fell apart at the very end, but that's because that's when it became clear that he mess of abandoned plot points and half-baked character arcs wouldn't get a satisfying conclusion. Malomyotismon was bad, but it's not he was 100% of the problem.

One of the biggest problems was who the main badguy was supposed to be. Dagomon? Daemon? Myotismon again?

Still better then the Incest Subtext in OG Digimon Adventure. Geez, Hosoda....

.....Watch the creators of the new series bring that back again and creep everyone out.

I heard a more believeable version that Hosoda DID NOT intend the incest subtext but was gently chided by the female producer that it SEEMED not to be a parting between siblings.

Did you know that Dagomon can digivolve to Daemon? It's true! Thus a suggestion I've heard for making 02's infamous Giant Space Fleas make more sense is to make both of them actually the same guy.

Episode 21 of OG Digimon Adventure. Mamoru Hosoda, the episode director and movie director of the first Diaboromon Digimon movie, confirmed it about 3 years ago.

[up] That confirmation was actually from a magazine interview that originated in the 2000s. It wasn't a confirmation. Someone partially translated the interview, where Hosoda had treated the situation as a joke, to the point that Agumon was called something like a mistress, was changed to incest. Thr interview went over his work on Digimon and some other stuff he did at the time. Other information from the interview include the plot of the pilot movie could have been about Tai's and Kari's dad meeting Digimon when he was a kid, being told that the movie would be connected to Adventure after being put on the project for a week, and the plot of Our War Game could have been about Tai and a new character going on a road trip.

I asked this years ago on the discussion page, but does anyone know why the page uses the Japanese names for Digimon and their evolutionary levels?

It's pretty confusing since other pages use the English levels, and AFAIK official Digimon media uses the dub levels and names (at least, I know that the Cyber Sleuth games do).

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

Wiki policy is that the most recent English translation overrides every other translation for usage on the wiki, so in this case they should be swapped; consult the dedicated thread for discussion about its usage overall for pages if there's any further issue.

Every species has a Japanese name, while English names are neither franchise-wide, nor consistent. I may accept the policy, but I do not think it is the better one.

Oh dear god I wasn't even aware that page was a thing. Looking through it all I see is a train wreck of people wasting time coming up with arbitrary rules that no one is ever going to want to enforce.
