[edit] Snow/Yukimi

YukimiBotamon is simply the Japanese name. SnowBotamon is an english name. Snowbotamon is also shown as the english name in the digimon anime. When SnowBotamon appeared in the anime during Adventure, the digimon analyzer appears (as it does for all new digimon), and this is what it looked like: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/saintmagician/snowbotamon.jpg. Showing how Snowbotamon is the canon english name. Saintmagician 07:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Bandai uses YukimiBotamon in its products. It's 2 to one and Bandai created the Digimon anyway so it wins. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by KL (talk • contribs) 15:31, 28 September 2006 (UTC).

However, we use the official English names for article titles on Wikipedia since that is what most English speakers should be familiar with and for consistency. Shiroi Hane 15:49, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

But Bandai of America uses YukimiBotamon as the English name which makes it have two English names. And that leads to what I said above. KL 18:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

It's fairly reasonable to assume that the anime has a bit more exposure than the other Digimon products. Plus it would seem both are reasonably acceptable. Since both are acceptable, then we'd go and follow WP:NC that say to use English words when possible. -- Ned Scott 04:36, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I thought you meant Bandai Asia. Shiroi Hane 19:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh no. Sorry for being not so specific the first time but you do have a point. SnowBotamon would be a more familiar name than YukimiBotamon. KL 19:16, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Attacks

There is a note to say "this attack is from the Digimon Card came only", however no cards are listed - in fact iirc no baby Digimon have cards, which also throws the "Digivolution options in the Digimon Card Game" line into doubt. Shiroi Hane 12:54, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I added the note. Actually, now that you point it out, it does seem odd. I don't actually know, my knowledge of the Card Game is quite elementary. YukimiBotamon's attack was previously listed as "Diamond Dust" but then changed into Bubble Blow. Further more, several other digimon sites (for example, the encyclopedia at http://shiningevo.ultimatedigimon.com) list YukimiBotamon's attack as being Diamond Dust. So i just assumned it must be the TCG version.

On a side note, where does any of these Fresh Digimon's attacks come from? IIRC, only very few Fresh Digimon have ever used attacks in the anime. And if they don't exist in the TCG, i really have no idea where it comes from.

I'll remove the "Diamond Dust" bit. I guess unless someone comes along and can explain where it comes from, it really shouldn't be there. --Saintmagician 14:21, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

There is a reliable secondary source for Diamond Dust, but I do not know where the information originates. I can check my resources when I'm home, but it is most likely from the pendulums or something and I don't have any of those. Shiroi Hane 15:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

ahh...heh. Your reliable secondary source was the same one i've been using. --Saintmagician 05:06, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Diamond Dust (ダイアモンドダスト) is the attack name stated in the Digimon Visual Dictionary. Shiroi Hane 20:49, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
