Talk:Gatomon

Unwikipedia like infomation

Kari is the coolest digimon tamer...Kari kills davis...That makes no sense so I re-moved it and got minus points, I can not add a picture and more info for I don't know how and I don't know much about Gatomon.

Ophanimon

It should be noted that Ophanimon is just as much a mega form of Gatomon as Magnadramon if not more. For one Ophanimon and Seraphimon are clearly partners as are Gatomon and Patamon. Also in Digimon Frontier when Ophanimon is defeated she is reverted to Salamon. So although Ophanimon is not Gatomon's mega in one season shouldn't Ophanimon at least be linked? If so what of Lady Devimon who is the evil side of Angewoman?

No, Ophanimon is not Gatomon's mega form. Gatomon of Digimon Adventures NEVER digivolves into Ophanimon, where as it does digivolve into Magnadramon. Ophanimon being one of Gatomon's possible mega forms is very much of a fandom thing.

Ophanimon becoming salamon in frontier is irrelevant. For a start, Salamon never digivolves into gatomon in frontier. Also, it's generally accepted that what applies to one season doesn't apply to another. For example, Agumon's champion form in Adventure is Greymon. But in Savers, it's GeoGreymon. That's why we now have two Agumon articles - one for the Agumon of Adventure and one for the Agumon of Digimon Savers.

Ophanimon of frontier (including how it reverts to Salamon) will be covered in the Ophanimon article. This article is specifically about the Gatomon character from Digimon Adventure. --`/aksha 08:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

But if this is specifically for Gatomon of seasons 1 and 2 should there not be another one for gatomon in general? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.140.230.2 (talk) 22:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC).

Here's how it is! Both Gatomon and Patamon have two Mega levels, a dragon type and an angel type. Gatomon only showed her dragon form, Magnadramon. Just as Patamon only showed his Angel form, Seraphimon. But it was officially accepted that Patamon's dragon form was Goldramon and that Gatomon's angel form was Ophanimon! Bubble bunny

Goldramon is NOT Patamon's alternate Mega form, Dominimon is. Goldramon is just one of MagnaAngemon's many possible evolutions in the card game (including WarGreymon and Gallantmon). Nightmare SE 17:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Here: Patamon->Angemon->Magnaangemon->Seraphimon Salamon->Gatomon->*Nefertimon*->Ophanimon

Ophanimon is also refered to as gatomons mega in Digimon RPG. blitzer natu 00:35, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I've read one of the articles on here that Kari appears with Ophanimon standing beside her. That shows that that the Gatomon from seasons 1 and 2 can digivolve into Ophanimon. Ophanimon should be included in the article. 68.18.172.203

That would be Digimon Battle Spirit 1.5, a video game which like Digimon Digital Card Battle and the drama CDs, we do not consider to be canon. Nightmare SE 14:35, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Plot hole?

The article Nefertimon currently states that Gatomon Armor Digivolving is a plot hole. Is it really true? It is well-established that Gatomon is strange already - the only Digimon out of the ten DigiDestined to remain in Champion form (the rest revert to rookie after battles). So why is it considered a plot hole that she can Armor Digivolve directly from her Champion form? Hbdragon88 08:26, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

The statement probably should be removed as WP:POV or WP:OR, but, it's pretty much true. Basically, Gatomon was thrown in the first series at a point where it would take too long to show her "discovering" champion form and ultimate form, so they cut one out, leaving her champion/rookie form... as the one exception. It's most likely that this is indeed a plot hole created to save time. But, as I said, even if it's true it's original research and should be removed form the article. -- Ned Scott 08:38, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, she was raised differently, and naturally evolved without the use of a Digivice - which I think separates the real Digimon from the Digimon that are partnered with the DigiDestined. Most of what the DigiDestined battle are naturally evolved Champions, Ultimates, and Megas... Hbdragon88 09:08, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, you could explain it that way, but eh.. it just seemed lazy of the writers. -- Ned Scott 09:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, I removed that statement (it was actually in the Nefertimon article, not this one). On a personal note, I think Gatomon is far, far cooler than Salamon. It wouldn't be the same seeing a Salamon trying to fight Myotismon. Hbdragon88 09:18, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

In episode 01, Gatomon says that losing her ring is making her weaker. In episode 54, Gennai stated that she could not armor-digivolve with her ring. Circeus 13:14, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Episode 54? I thought that Adventures 02 only had 50 episodes. Hbdragon88 06:09, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm a little confused. So was it the absence of her Tail Ring that made her able to DNA Digivolution, or for DNA Digivolution to take place at all (including with other Digimon such as Veemon and Wormmon)? Also was it ever explained how the ring was found (other than by the forces of good) or how it contained the dark energy of the Digimon Emperor's base?--Mmmundo 03:28, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Can anyone answer this question that I posted above?--Mmmundo 13:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

BlackGatomon

Searching for her redirects the Users to this oage. But there is no Info about her on this page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MugenSeiRyuu (talk • contribs).

I added what little we had back to the trivia section, since... there's not really much to say other than it's a black version of Gatomon. The name pretty much says it all. -- Ned Scott 06:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, a lot of the 'black' digimon have always been redirected to the non-black pages, even if there's no actual info on them. I don't think it's really a result of this merge. Personally, i'm not fond of having the info for blackgatomon/mikemon/gatomon X here...but i guess there's no where else to put it now. I'll probably do something about them once i merge all the misc. digimon into lists. --Saintmagician 06:59, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

But a lot Black Digimon are actually different Digimon. ( I´m talking about those who have Black in their name, not those who are just Viral Versions. ). What´s next ? BlackWarGreymon directing to Agumon ?

All the ones with black are just viral versions. BlackWarGreymon is a viral version of WarGreymon. But it doesn't (and never has) redirected to WarGreymon because BlackWarGreymon is a character on its own. The ones that redirect are...well, viral versions that just appear once in the card games, or once in some digimon video games.

It's like...digimon are only notable enough for wikipedia articles because of their role in the anime (and possibly the games), NOT because there's a card for them. I suppose that's why all pokemon species have articles, because they play a role in the anime. And they're all well represented in the games. Where as, we don't have an article for every yugioh monster...because all they do is appear on a card or two. --`/aksha 02:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Redirection

I was searching for Mikemon and was redirected to this article. Why doesn't Mikemon have its own article. Gatomon and Mikemon look similar, but they are two different digimon! Goblimon and Shamanmon get two seperate pages, not to mention Gotsumon, Icemon and Meteormon! Sorry for being so harsh ... I like Mikemon Bubble bunny

Becuase mikemon is insignificant, and most importantly not Notable. Digimon like Goblimon and Shamanmon soon will not have seperate articles - there's currently an ongoing effort to merge digimon articles, starting with the most important digimon characters. We'll get around to digimon like icemon and meteormon eventually... --`/aksha 06:35, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the Gatomon X thing redirected to the same page... I got rid of it. Kiko-Chan-64 21:02, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Silphymon

Though I rather have him on his own separate page, I've altered the Silphymon profile as a direct link to Hawkmon's page. User: Fractyl

reverted. As said in the edit summary - silphymon is as much gatomon's form as hawkmon's form. For the sake of the redirect, we are forced to point the silphymon article in just one direction. But there's no reason why silphymon is more hawkmon than gatomon, at least in the context of Adventure 02. --`/aksha 12:58, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Not the intent of being "Silphymon being Hawkmon's ultimate" poster(hence the "See Hawkmon part"), though I rather have the profile be separate again. User: Fractyl

Not exactly what you're trying to say here. My point was that silphymon is equally gatomon and hawkmon's form. I considered putting DNA digimon on seperate articles when i was doing the veemon and wormmon articles, but at the end...it seemed to defeat the purpose of this article merge. If we split our DNA digimon, then the silphymon article will have only silphymon on it. And....there's really not much we can say for silphymon. We're going to end up with a short (possibly classifed as a stub) article, and i'm even sure whether silphymon on its own would pass our notability guidelines.

Ideally, i was thinking something like a transclusion. So we have just one silphymon section, and it gets transcluded on both the gatomon and hawkmon articles. But not sure what namespace the silphymon section would go in. --`/aksha 01:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I subscribe to the theory that Silphymon is Hawkmon's evo and Hawkmon's alone; that Gatomon's part in the jogress was basically as a 'booster' (instead of a crest) and there is no way for Gatomon to evolve to Silphymon on her own. Shiroi Hane 02:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I suppose that would make Shakkoumon Armadillomon's evo, and paildramon....veemon's evo? If silphymon is really hawkmon's evo, i have a hard time understanding why it has gatomon's ears. =P. --`/aksha 02:37, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree with this latest comment (above) and disagree with the theory that a DNA digivolution is just an alternate method to a crest. Izzy tells us in the episode after Paildramon is introduced, that DNA digivolution happened once before with Omnimon. In Omnimon's case, he was made up of both Metal Garurumon and War Greymon (Equal parts). Izzy states that Paildramon is the same thing. Therefore a DNA digimon may possess more similarities to one digimon than the other, but both digimon are definitely shown in the outcome of a DNA digimon's appearence!

PS: Silphymon looks more cat than bird anyway! Bubble bunny

So I take it Megadramon is made up of parts from Kokatorimon and Kuwagamon since after all they did DNA digivolve into him in V-Tamer (Sarcasm).. Silphymon looks like a Bird Man. Nightmare SE 16:54, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

No need to get snappish! I suppose Aquilamon just develops the upper body of a cat randomly then (sarcasm!). Besides, I backed my comment up with evidence from the series, if that STILL isn't good enough then WHATEVER! Bubble bunny

Games

(Just a 'text dump' for appearances of other Gatomon. This'll disappear when the List of Champions article is created.)

Digimon World 2

Gatomon evolves into Angewomon, who evolves into Magnadramon.

Digimon World 3

Gatomon appears in all the Inns. You can obtain Angewomon as an evolution.

Digimon Digital Card Battle

Gatomon (Rookie) can be one of your Partners, her Armor Digivolutions are Nefertimon and Tylomon Gatomon is the last opponent in Sky City's Battle Arena. After you beat A, she obtains a new deck and appears as the first opponent in Sky City's Extra Arena, with Nefertimon, Tylomon, Angewomon and Magnadramon. Silphymon is the 2nd last opponent in Tree City's Extra Arena. Gatomon (Without her Power Ring; Rookie, Partner), R-Gatomon (With her Power Ring, Champion),Nefertimon, Silphymon, Angewomon and Magnadramon are all Nature Cards and can be obtained in-game. BlackGatomon is a Rookie, Darkness card and can be obtained in-game.

SnowBotamon

Although SnowBotamon is the normal Fresh form of Plotmon/Gatomon, it never appears in the anime series in my memory.

Even in Gatomon's flashback in Digimon Adventure, only Nyaromon (shaking in thw snow) appeared. Unlike the other seven digimon, having their flash form in their flashbacks.

Thus I think that SnowBotamon should be removed from this page.

Nor please tell me when did SnowBotamon appear in the series. Kennethayes 10:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm quite sure i've seen SnowBotamon on official Digimon Adventure merchandise before (those plastic figurine things that get sold in the toys section of supermarkets and toy stores), but i'm not claiming to be sure. It doesn't appear in the anime, so i suppose unless someone can pin down a place where it appears in the Digimon Adventure/02 world, we should remove it.

And edit the List of Fresh Digimon accordingly too. --`/aksha 12:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I remember a bunch of SnotBotamon appearing in 02, I believe it was the episode where Hawkmon first digivolved into Aquilamon, maybe that would explain the merchandise... Wait I decided to tak a look back at the old SnowBotamon article before it was merged and found this:

"In episode 25, some SnowBotamon were seen with Mimi and Palmon just before the Control Spire Golemon made by Arukenimon appeared. Some SnowBotamon also ended up as partners to the Dark Spore children during the final battle against MaloMyotismon." Nightmare SE 13:52, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

SnowBotamon is indeed the Fresh form of Nyaromon/Plotmon/Gatomon since it was introduced in Digimon Pendulum Ver.0 <Virus Busters> many years ago. But SnowBotamon had not appeared as the Fresh form of Kari's Gatomon in the series. Just like Gaomon we didnt show Wanyamon. (maybe Wanyamon will appear in episode 48? XD)

How come I can remember something 6 years ago? (_ _)" Kennethayes 19:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Lol...sometimes i seem to remember the strangest things too (and never the things i need to remember).

Yeah, remove it. But all of SnowBotamon's other appearances should be described in List of Fresh Digimon. I'll go do this when i come back tonight if no one else has done it yet. --`/aksha 01:23, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

so finally i remove it. =)

i will also remove BlackGatomon / Mikemon / Gatomon X later, after Mikemon and Gatomon are added to the masterlists. Kennethayes 14:35, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that's a good idea. --`/aksha 13:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

You shouldn't have removed it, in the manga (wich is the exact same story) of digimon adventure 2 you see snowbotamon in the last book of the story twice (on the cover and title page) the article about snow botamon should have been kept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.92.132.233 (talk) 01:12, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Egyptian?

According to the Appearance section, "Gatomon appears similar to a white Egyptian kitten." What does "Egyptian" mean here? Is it some breed of cat, or does it mean she looks like the cats portrayed in ancient Egyptian art, or what? Ntsimp 16:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I think it means in an art way. I don't think Gatomon was ever supposed to be a particular breed of real life cat. Bubble bunny

I wouldn't say she looks overly like a Mau, the egyptian connecton is with Nefertimon (a second series character who was unlikely to have been conceived of during Gatomon's creation). Shiroi Hane 23:59, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Variations?

Is the variation of Gatomon in this article, Gatomon X, actually a variation of the Gatomon of Digimon Adventure/02 or just of Gatomon in general? Because if it is just in general than it should be removed considering that this article is about the Gatomon of Adventure only.--Mmmundo 03:08, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Ah, the variation section on this article was created before we had the list articles set up. It should be safe to remove now. -- Ned Scott 03:13, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree that the variation, Gatomon X, should be removed from this article too. But should it be added to a different article such as List of Champion Digimon (Part 1) or (Part 2)?--Mmmundo 15:13, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

No, as Gatomon X has not appeared in media except cards. I'll remove it. (see section 8) Kennethayes 15:40, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Gatomon Natural Line

There is a page called Gatomon Natural Line here on wiki. It is an exact copy of this page. The only reason I knew it wasn't the same was because the "discussion" link was red, because no one had used it yet, as opposed to the blue "discussion" link on the Gatomon page. It's also the same with Patamon (Patamon Natural Line) —Preceding unsigned comment added by TwistedRed (talk • contribs) 23:40, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Gato = cat in german??

Sorry, I don't know about the other languages, but I know for sure that gato doesn't mean cat in german. The correct equivalent to cat would be Katze... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.47.129.184 (talk) 14:34, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Gato is the spanish for cat actually —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.173.24.234 (talk) 08:18, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
