What did I do wrong this time!? I added more info about the theme songs & the titles of the movies in Japanese & Rōmaji. I didn't change the characters names to all be Japanese this time either. And even though I didn't add it back, what's wrong with having a "Digimon Adventure" image that includes Hikari & Tailmon in an article called "Digimon Adventure"?Linkdude20002001 07:08, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, one thing I've noticed is that you keep changing "season" to "series". Saban refer to 02 as "Digimon Season 2", Tamers as "Digimon Season 3", Frontier as "Digimon Season 4" so season is the correct term. Digivolve is the correct English term for "shinka", alternative terms are explained on the Digivolution page itself. Shiroi Hane 19:58, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, in Japan, these ARE separate series. In the US they are considered one...so its more of a technicality than anything else. BTW, I've modified the summary of Our War Game and identified the "water" the nukes land in at the end as Tokyo Bay.Pkmatrix 00:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

we know that, that's why the series name is also given. It's kind of like "Japanese name/English Name" in a way -- Ned Scott 07:38, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Besides, they're the common season names used by most English fans. Circeus 14:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia isn't about fan consensus, it's about the facts. "Digimon Seasn" whatever is only used in the English dub. In Japan, each series was comprised of two 20~ episode seasons, aired back to back with no breaks in between. In all honesty, so far there have been 10 seasons of Digimon spread across 5 different series. This can cause of lot of confusion with people who don't understand that. For example, back when Toei announced it was contracting 3 more seasons worth of Digimon. There are still people who are waiting for "Season 5" through "Season 7" as a result - when in reality, Toei contracted the second season of Tamers (Oct-April) and two seasons of Frontier (April-Oct, Oct-April).

At any rate, I do have to admit, I'm a bit baffled by the people running the Digimon wikipedia articles. While the vast majority of wikipedia articles regarding anime, manga, and videogames use the original native-language source material as the primary, canon source, with the dub details as secondary information, the Digimon wikipedia articles are the opposite.

Actually, no. WP:DIGI just follows what WP:ANIME does, to use names most likely to be recognized by English readers. There are many other articles that do this as well. -- Ned Scott 09:11, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

spacers

not sure if I like the spacers or not on the main character list.. thoughts? -- Ned Scott 08:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it looks pretty nice. And organized, unlike most of the Digimon lists. ClaudiaVice 05:30, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

English version

I'm curious why this article does not mention which company dubbed the English version. Danny Lilithborne 23:38, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The individual articles used to all be apart of Digimon: Digital Monsters, which does talk about the dub and Saban and all that. I guess we just haven't placed that information on these articles yet since the split. The individual anime series articles do need a lot of work. -- Ned Scott 23:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, alright. It was just a little confusing is all. :) Danny Lilithborne 00:03, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RTÉ

I know RTÉ showed season one in Ireland, but I'm not sure which other seasons. Anyone else know per chance? codu (^t/^c) 12:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help

Could someone post an internet link to where you can buy digimon on DVD?Sheenfanficker 02:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you search http://amazon.com for "Digimon" they sell the first 13 dubbed episodes on one DVD. Digimon: The Movie (the dub of the first three movies in one) is also available on DVD. Those two are the only DVDs which are dubbed. You can buy the original version in Japanese on DVD through many specialty sites, but it costs an arm and a leg. -- Ned Scott 05:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A question

From the article - The season was highly regarded, and garnered millions of viewers. It also became one of the biggest anime exports out of Japan, specifically the third, after Sailor Moon and Pokémon. (It is possibly the fourth largest, if Dragonball Z is included.) - why is Dragonball Z not included? (You can answer on my talk page if you so wish). —King Ivan 10:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted that part; couldn't figure out why the heck it wasn't part of the main list. *Shrugs* That whole statement needs a source anyway so I put a citation tag by it. Indiawilliams 23:29, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Existentialism

Existentialism is touched on a great deal in the first and second seasons of Digimon. Could somebody install a section on this please?

Other Characters?

What digimon need to be included here? Those who helped in the final fight and who else? trainra 09:20, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Christianity?

I've noticed that bits of Christianity are in the first season (i.e 666 and Apocolymon, a play on the term apocolypse). Has anyone else noticed this and if so, should it be added? 69.92.33.74 17:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so as it is a kids show at the end of the day, and the apocolypse is about "the end of the world", so it isn't about Christianity specifically. Wild ste 19:24, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

sure

who ever put in a talk page sora had no filings (there quote: know there are a lot of fans out there who don't like the fact that Sora and Tai didn't end up together, but that's just how things turned out. Please stop putting in comments like 'Sora also had feelings for Tai'. You may want it to be true, but that's not what happened in the series. She wound up with Matt. Anything else is just original research, and that doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Thank You)well its complete crap its more than fa spec searis 1 was mostly taiora or ive also thound more websites taiora than ones not, the only soratto webs are fan spec and alot of o2 eps were taiora pluss theres more taiora ofical pruff(whole 01 and 2 02 eps) than soratto(2 02 eps) so whoever putt it on soras talk page and on wikipedia that sora had felings for only matt are stupid blind chavs.espio's da man

i also forgot 1 reson people get the rong idea is the 25 years later but i lernt something new mats kids hair looks like sora's hair but aculiy its tk's hair in 01

Please, when posting a comment, use correct grammar and punctuation. For example, "who ever put in a talk page sora had no filings" should be "Who ever put it in the talk page ' Sora had no feelings '?" More importantly, sign your posts. I'm not patronising you, just making you aware that other users may find it easier (and they will) if you use the correct style/type of comments/posts. King Wagga 20:54, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stop the lameness

Apostrophe (talk · contribs) and Ned Scott (talk · contribs), and whoever else might get involved, stop the reverting (all of you) and edit summary exchanges and get to the talk page. This is verging on WP:LAME levels. Circeus 13:48, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two reverts is "verging on WP:LAME levels"? You don't get around much, do you? Regardless, I stopped caring after the second revert. ' 15:41, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if it gets any longer, it will be lame, especially considering the topic. Can this be pettier? Circeus 21:41, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't understand Apostrophe's rationale for removing "Season" from the infobox. -- Ned Scott 06:38, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

please don't delete the infoboxes

i spent a long time putting in the ages

i don't see a problem with leaving them there —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dewy17 (talk • contribs) 04:44, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with the ages is that we have two sets of them (original Japanese, and English dub. And 4 sets for the original cast of Adventure), and it's not really that important that it needs to be in the infobox itself. It'd be much more useful to actually have a note in the article itself that explains their age in which version. I'll stop removing them if you feel strongly about it, but there's my two cents. -- Ned Scott 05:31, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

May 2000

In almost every article about digimon adventure it says that in May 2000 the digidestined gave their crests to free the sovereigns. What episode/movie/comic book/audio drama did this take place in? I have comprehensively gone though the entire continuum but have not been able to find it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.129.99 (talk • contribs)

I believe it is in an episode of Digimon Adventure 02. -- Ned Scott 05:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All that is in Adventure 02 was episode 27 where Izzy explains dna digivolving to the new digidestined. Is this the only time we see that they gave up their crests, or is there a proper episode where it happens for real?
