ok... why merg gallantmon wiht guilmon???

they're 2 entirely different digimon

it just doesnt make sense --Ancientanubis 07:34, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They're the same character. Per WP:FICT the character from Digimon Tamers is pretty much the only notable Digimon to be included here. Other "appearances" or references to them as "different" Digimon are not significant. All that is left is something that is all apart of the same character. -- Ned Scott 08:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep

Let those pages stay separate including Guilmon's. I prefer them that way. It will mess up the List of Digimon order with these redirects. Rtkat3 (talk) 10:50, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jarimon redirect?

"Jarimon" is redirected here, but the name "Jarimon" isn't mentioned once on the page, so if you were redirected here while looking for information on Jarimon (like I did), you'd be totally lost (like I am now). It would be nice if there were at least some explanation as to why the redirect is in place. I'd add something myself, but like I said, I was looking for information, so I don't know anything on the topic. 71.217.114.221 05:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's some major reorganization happening with the Digimon articles, to the point where some may or may not even have articles anymore. Jarimon was listed (by something) as the baby form of Guilmon, which led to his article being merged here. But wasn't he actually associated with the character Guilmon (from tamers) which led to it being removed from here. Other than a picture of a red blob and a summary that says "Jarimon is the baby form of Guilmon", there's not really much more to be said. You might want to try one of these if you are looking for more info than that. -- Ned Scott 06:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Digimon Forms

I have a certain complaint about Jyarimon, too. And it's also about ALL the Digidestined's Digimon. I've noticed none of their cameo roles are mentioned, yet the Digimon who haven't had partners do have their cameo roles mentioned. Example:

Patamon. Patamon's role in Frontier isn't mentioned on his page, although, you could say it's because they're two different characters, Frontier's Patamon could get a page just like Savers' Agumon did. Then there's digimon like Gekomon, Otamamon, DemiDevimon, etc. They're pages have all their cameo roles listed.

But, back to Guilmon. his baby form, Jyarimon, made a cameo role in Digimon Frontier episode eight, along with a handful of In-Training/Baby Digimon belonging to past DigiDestined. Those aren't important enough to note? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aangler (talk) 04:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

No, they aren't. "yet the Digimon who haven't had partners do have their cameo roles mentioned." <<most likely, this is because we're in a transition period between the old format of "one article per digimon" to our current articles. Previously, people liked to turn the -mon articles into a list of every single appearance of a digimon of that species. Hence a lot of articles still list every tiny appearance (including "xxx-mon appeared in [insert name of a digimon game here]" type appearances). Cameo roles generally fall under the category of "far more detail than what we need" and "we're not a fansite".

HOwever, the other reason could also be because articles for some digimon are being merged whilst others have yet to be created. I'm not sure what patamon's role in Frontier was. I'll use gatomon as an example.

Gatomon was one of the first articles i merged. I had the information about salamon from adventure/02 merged into the gatomon article, and then redirected salamon to the gatomon article. However, there was also information on the salamon article regarding salamon's appearance in Digimon Frontier. This information will go onto the Celestial Digimon article (which has yet to be written). So at the moment, that paragraph on salamon's appearance in Digimon Frontier is floating around in my userspace, to be pulled out once i (or anyone else) finds the time to write the Celestial Digimon article. --`/aksha 04:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I guess I understand, but, if it's not important to list the cameo roles, all the articles with information about Digimon appearances, ex: "There's an Agumon over there in the background that doesn't speak, but was there" will be changed? A lot of Digimon have information as being seen in Kurata's lab in glass stasis tubes and being at the Autumn Leaf Fair in Digimon Frontier.

The thing with cameo roles is that if a digimon character is already notable for an article, and it makes a cameo role, then i think it's fine to mention it. (so for example, Crusadermon of the Royal Knights is a fairly important character in Digimon Frontier, and appearantly makes a cameo in the movie Digital Monster X-Evolution).

But the examples you mention - so the digimon at the autumn leaf fair. Those aren't notable digimon making cameo appearances. Those are just....random digimon making cameo appearances. The thing is, we used to have articles for each species. "Agumon", for example...isn't the name of a character, it's the name of a digimon species. And we used to list every appearance of that species. But now we're arranging articles by character. So Agumon now refers to only the character in digimon adventure. Other notable agumon (such as the only in digimon next and the one in digimon savers) are being covered in other articles. The non-notable agumon who appear here and there for a cameo are not being mentioned at all.

So yeah, most of those articles will be changed - most likely merged into larger articles (so lists of digimon articles). One of the things i'm hoping to see come out of this merge session is that we no longer have any Digimon stubs (articles that look like this and will probably always look like that). --`/aksha 07:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I'll make an example as o what you're looking for. Gotsumon. The Gotsumon page will be seaprated because there are three Gotsumon that play pivotal roles in multiple seasons? A Gotsumon Adventure, A Gotsumon Frontier, and A Gotsumon Savers?

Hypothetically, if i had to do something about the Gostumon article. I would merging the section on Gostumon in Digimon Adventure into the List of Digimon Adventure minor characters. I will then add an entry for Gostumon into the "list of miscellenous rookie digimon" (another to-be-created article). Gotsumon's entry on this list will cover its appearance in frontier and savers, and link to the gotsumon's entry on List of Digimon Adventure minor characters. (i don't consider all the Gotsumon who appeared in Digimon Adventure 02 to be notable).

However, what i'm actually planning to do is to just leave the Gotsumon article alone and let another editor deal with it. This is because i've only seen a tiny bit of Digimon Frontier and never seen Digimon Savers. Therefore, i really don't know how notable the Gotsumon in those two season are...so i'm not really comfortable with doing anything to this particular article.

You may want to take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Digimon_Systems_Update/Article_reorganization - which is a rouge plan of what's going to happen (emphasis on "rouge plan", we're not really following it to the letter. But that should give you a general idea. If you have any more questions about this - i'd recommend asking them here (talk page for coordinating this merge effort) or here (talk page for the digimon project). You're likely to get a response from more editors on either of those two talk pages. --`/aksha 03:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Digital Hazard

Someone please add in more info about the digital hazard contained in his chest. Like what is the digital hazard? When it was released by Megidramon it started to destroy the digital world. If that's the true power of the digital hazard then that would make him a second Apocalymon; a digimon whose very existence threatens the balance of creation which would make him more a creation of the powers of darkness then one of the good guys. Also I read somewhere that crimson mode is his true form because in that form the digital hazard is fully contained, allowing him to fully use his power.

Also how come there's no mention of Megidramon's attacks; Megido flame, Hell howling. Even if they weren't used in the anime they are still his attacks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noman953 (talk • contribs)

They're not mentioned because they don't appear. It's TCG trivia, and it will probably be included in the list of mega digimon when Megidramon gets put on (not sure how far people who're working on those lists have gotten at this point).

As for the digital hazard - there's no much else to say about it. It was just a bit of trivia that got mentioned a few times, and appeared in card descriptions for the TCG. It really doesn't play much of a bit role at all in the anime, or any other digimon storyline for that matter. --`/aksha 12:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WarGrowlmon's Mental Link?

I remember the 1st appearance of WarGrowlmon. Takato had some inner conflict and Growlmon finally digivolved. Then, the Digimon jumped up on the roof. He started naming the attack, and Takato finished it from below. That was Pokemon-esque, right? 71.111.247.186 18:35, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, but I think the point was just to foreshadow biomerging. Since we don't have a source noting the similarities, we don't need to put it in the article.

-- trlkly 17:04, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it was probably because Takato has more of a bond with his digimon than the others. He did design Guilmon, after all. 204.147.20.1 (talk) 18:17, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

virus-type or reptile type

Basically, it seems to me like the article is confused. Is Guilmon a virus-type or a Reptile digimon? Maybe he can be both, but that isn't made clear by the current form of the article. One of his descriptions needs to be changed to "a virus-type Reptile digimon". I'd do it myself, but I'm not sure if he's really both. (Yes I know that Guilmon has no gender.)

-- trlkly 07:40, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't remember the exact terms off the top of my head, but he is a reptile-[type] Digimon with a vaccine-[attribute], like how (again if memory serves) Agumon is reptile and vaccine. Shiroi Hane 15:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adding on to Shiroi's comment, Attribute and Type are different things. For example- Gazimon is a shadow-beast type, but a virus attribute. Just look at the cards.204.147.20.1 (talk) 18:19, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ZERO ARMS Grani

Where is the proof that ZERO ARMS stands for ZERO ARtificial MonSter? I can't find anything on it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.198.237.199 (talk • contribs).

Megidramon's Attack

Why did 'Sonic Beam', which I believed to be the name of Megidramon's attack, end up in Gallantmon's entry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.48.91.31 (talk) 07:08, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wiped it from the article, as Megidramon never used it. Nightmare SE 16:22, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
