What makes Kerpymon worse is that the Dub of Frontier already called him Cherubimon and the same problem comes up with Kurisarimon which was called Chrysalimon in the Tamers dub and with Daemon and the Dub of 02. Valdur means "ruler", or "he who rules" in Old Norse and is a name in Estonian. The Digimon Reference Book has it as Vemmon in both English and Japanese.

My personal pet peve of a localization name is Omnishoutmon. Yeah I know it's technically related to Omnimon/Omegamon, so paralleling the localization so it lines up is understandable...if not for the literal Omega symbols all over his evolution sequence. Kind of hard to handwave the Omega-name when the symbol is just THERE.
@BlazeDragonEternal 11 ай бұрын
Not to mention the obvious parallels with ZekeGreymon getting Z's instead, both getting symbols with the meaning of "end"...and then it becomes OmniGreymon. The same happened with Omegamon itself and its parallels with Alphamon that are just completely removed by Omnimon.

@phantomshike 11 ай бұрын
A very minor defense of Bond of Bravery: It might be a licensing/Merchandising issue. the trademark for merchandising was first placed on the wrong translation and they have to keep it because of that. Think about how in Dragon Ball Super, we and the characters call the form 'Super Saiyan Blue," but every merchandise and transformation/form in video games is called "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan" or "SSGSS." They called it that in the first release, and have to keep calling it that for merchandising/Branding reasons. It's still dumb, but the translator/localizers hands might be tied by legality and the higherups because of that.

Funnily enough "Lana" from Lanamon DOES have a connection to water but in the funniest way possible, there's a character named Lana in Pokemon Sun and Moon who specializes in water type pokemon. Side note I actually checked to see if Lana's name was a reference to anything, since some pokemon character names are references/puns, it's apparently a reference to the Hawaiian word for "afloat" or a shortened version of the Hawaiian word for water lily.

It's funny how many of these are the result of multiple translation passes. Kerpymon (cherubi- from English into the kerpy- romaji and then back into English), the Gure also sounds like the romaji for Grey, Rana and Lana because Japanese doesn't have a one-to-one translation for the "l"/"r" sound, but are otherwise the same word.

Yu-Gi-Oh has an incredible problem with the names in localization for card effects, where often cards contain "not including XY). I believe it's not the only one. Why not just give cards an extra tag and then just target the tags. You can just tag every greymon and then you don't run into the named architype issue. Maybe that's just my software development background speaking, where checking against text is always a bad idea because of exactly this issue. Just give something a non text value, it reduces something like this easily.
@BlazeDragonEternal 11 ай бұрын
The DCG does this to some extent with modern cards normally having specific types for that ("Xros Heart", "Dark Master", "Deva", etc.) but there's still a lot of things that forcefully have to target text which is problematic for this same issue. From what little I've seen of it, the Dragon Ball Super Card Game (itself a brother card game to the DCG) avoids this issue completely by doing exactly that, every card has a "Character" tag that specifies which character they are beyond the card's own name (so, to give an entirely random example, "SS Gogeta, Fusion Reborn" has the "Gogeta" Character tag). I feel the DCG could do the same, add a Digimon tag with the specific name and maybe an Archetype tag that has "Grey", "Garuru", etc.
@fernandobanda5734 11 ай бұрын
I guess this gives the leeway of caring about archetypes that you didn't plan caring about. Like, when they printed "Dark Magician Girl", they didn't know there was going to be a "Magician Girl" archetype, they would have just put the "Dark Magician" tag. Similarly, Digimon wouldn't have been able to care about names containing, say, "dramon" unless they'd decided that for the start. It's messy but for a franchise that's still evolving and whose naming conventions are not decided by the card game team, it's a fair solution.

Couldn't they call Doruguremon "Dorugraymon" using the A-spelling as a way to keep the nod to the Greymon family without making them part of the species? Same goes for BurningGreymon, although I'd rather have Bandai revert its name to Vritramon instead. I'm surprised ElDradimon, BioSupinomon and BioRotosmon weren't mentioned. Those are as bad as Kurisarimon, if not worse.

Tbh I think bandai should hire someone and give them all the digimon lore, names and images; to act as the lorekeeper for translations. Their job is to go through all the digimon (and new digimon) and re-translate them for consistancy. Their dub names can still be used overseas, but should be considered as Nicknames, allowing names like Omnimon to continue to exist until there is a new digimon in japanese called Omnimon; in which case since it's a nickname it can just be phased out. That way everyone would be happy. Would it take a while? Yep. You'd need a full team working on it too, but it's clear they need it. Especially with situations like Orcamon where there is actually an Orcamon but the dub decided to call Dolphmon as Orcamon, making this really akward and confusiing situation appear.

Orcamon (the Armor Digimon) is Orcamon in English, Dolphmon is Dolphmon in English. The only place that ever referred to Dolphmon as Orcamon is the "Asian English" garbage they make for Hong Kong. No actual English material has ever called Dolphmon Orcamon.

If you want I can use another example with : Anomalocarimon who is called Scorpimon in the dub and Scorpiomon who's called SkullScorpiomon in the dub. The most funny part is Anomalocarimon isn't even a scorpion, he's an Anomalocaris (like it's name) which is a marine animal from the cambrian period. This mistake even came over to the global release of the original digimon trading card game and digimon lists with toys. ^^

4:00 (ish) Yu-Gi-Oh players where yall at? Yeah, early on UpperDeck and later the international side of Konami just named cards whatever they felt like, which came back to bite them when the concept of "archetypes"/"themes" (a series of cards designed to mechanically synergize with each other, and all linked by a common piece of text in their name) started to take root in the GX era. Most of the biggest offenders have been errata'd to have their name no longer contain the offending phrase, but many players still remember things like how "except Frog the Jam" had to be printed on every single piece of "Frog" support for years. Funny enough, the outright biggest offenders have yet to be errata'd to this day, that being cards including the word "Guardian" that aren't meant to be a part of the "Guardian" archetype/theme, of which there are at least half a dozen.
