[edit] Split

You can probably see that information from many different Digimon articles was pulled for this new article. So far this seems far more organized than having the bits of information in separate articles. What I've done so far is more or less a demonstration on the improvement we'll see if we apply this to all the Digimon series/ seasons. It's got a long way to go, but I think that the Digimon articles can become "feature article" worthy in a matter of months. Like I said, what you see so far is just a first step; eventually all the Digimon articles should conform to the standards found in Wikipedia:WikiProject_Digimon_Systems_Update and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga. Till then, lets see what works and what direction we want to go in. --Ned Scott 05:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Story Summary

There's a complete summary of the Tamers storyline over on Yamaki's page. I can't help feel that, while it is largely from the viewpoint of Yamaki, this page would be a better home for most of it now that it exists. Shiroi Hane 01:49, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

wow, that's definitely one of the better digimon wikipedia articles... I agree, this would make for a better plot summary. -- Ned Scott 22:32, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monster Makers

I only remember them being reunited to fight the d-reaper, I don't recall them being reunited to combat the digimon themselves... anyone want to shed some light on this for me? -- Ned Scott 07:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Might be a backstory reference. Not familiar enough with season to tell. Have you tried leaving the contributor a Talk Page note? Circeus 14:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

no they were never united before the d- reaper. Jedi fox 19:49, 9 September 2006 (ETC)

[edit] Year Tamers is set in

Although it is officially referred to as "200X", there are some clues in the show as to the real year it was set. For example, in "Battle of the Adventurers" a calendar behind Ruki/Rika shows that it is August and the dates shown match up with those in August 2001 and August 2007. I assume because it is a scene shown in continuity, that this information would be factual to that continuity. If further clues identify the real year in which it definitely takes place, should it be inserted into the article as fact? 86.128.34.175 21:46, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I doubt the shows creators and animators really cared enough to make the calendar an exact reference, and it doesn't change the story, so it's not really significant. But since 2001 is closer to when the show aired I'd think it would be then. Like I said, it's not very significant, and 200X is close enough to sum up what pop-culture, technology, and other considerations were at the time. -- Ned Scott 23:15, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Emphases on secondary characters with Digimon

Not sure if we should have the secondary characters have a list box like the main characters do. With the exception of Ryo, the other characters are largely developed without Digimon partners, so the fact that they later get a partner isn't exactly a true reflection on their over-all character. Thoughts? -- Ned Scott 04:19, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

It's true that they're (Jeri, Kazu, Kenta, Ai & Mako) not main characters, but the actions they take do have important consequences for the main characters (Leomon's death, Mako giving Impmon his Beelzemon Blast Mode gun and such). Perhaps we could list them and their partners in the 'Other Characters' section? - Indiawilliams 06:29, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

The fact that they have partners should be noted, I just don't think it's on the same level as the three main characters (plus Ryo, since his relation with Cyberdramon goes farther than the Tamers series), wether Kazu, Kenta, etc are main characters or not. Listing the partner Digimon separately might be a good idea. I mean, when you think about it, we treat Ai & Mako almost as one character, and could probably even treat Kazu & Kenta as a single character too. Impmon / Beelzemon is very much a standalone character and far out-shadows his Tamers. It gets a bit complicated on how to reference all these characters at-a-glance like this. -- Ned Scott 13:52, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Given Ryo's tendancy to just "be there" in terms of Tamers, and his overall lack of focus as a character (he's there fighting in big battles, but he rarely develops or does anything beyond have good natured fighting with Rika), one could say Kazu is as much or more a main character than Ryo. --Razorsaw 11:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but that's not my main point. It's not about who is a more major character, it's about that character's relation to their Digimon partner. -- Ned Scott 11:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
