Digimon 101: Personal Names

A lesson trying to clear up the confusion on why all Agumon are simply called Agumon.

[@pastadinnertheater8657]

i have had a theory about this sorta subject that maybe each digimon has a unique serial number inside their code that's unique to them and other digimon can subconsciously recognize when that digimon is being addressed. its a bit of a reach but i don't see it as impossible since, remember that these are sapient computer programs that are communicating with each other in a digital environment so there might be some specific internal code running in the background when they do talk.

[@The_digiologist]

Oh thats in interesting theory! I'll have to look into that!

[@What-ish]

Genius idea tbh

[@diogoantonio3644]

Wait...so digimon are nfts?!?!

[@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg]

If I can add onto the point about the ‘species vs individual’ thing: it’s worth noting that mega level Digimon are very rare. That’s why they’re the go to example for when a species is an individual. This may sound strange given how many Mega Digimon are on record, but that’s the thing: there’s so few Digimon who reach Mega and many Mega Digimon they could be that a shape might only be taken once. Ever. And even when they don’t, it’ll be pretty close. There could be whole tribes of Impmon in every other corner of the digital world, but the number of Beelzemon to have ever existed is likely countable on one hand.

[@The_digiologist]

Absolutely correct! I was saving it for a video on the different stages of life for digimon but most digimon will never pass champion or even rookie so ultimate and mega digimon are very rare! However for the purposes of Digi-ecology lessons I have to explain what some mega's roles are in the digital world WOULD be were the sole extant example not in a specific group. Just in case.

[@lanereynolds4567]

While you have a point there, the example of beelzemon is a poor one cause the demon lord beelzemon is, according to lore (along with the other demon lords), simultaneously existing in all digital worlds, and what we see is an avatar digimon projected from Cocytus, the core of the Dark Area. Now, if that should be counted, since avatars can be argued to not be a seperate entity, is another argument. A better example would have been WarGreymon. Most people will think of Adventure 01, but there's also Applimon, Liberators, the World games, the DS games, V-tamer 01 (not to be confused with New Courage), and so many more. Omegamon/Omnimon is also a great example. there's the Our War Game version, but most people think of the Royal Knights one now. Then there's V-tamers 01, and Cyber Sleuth as well.

it should be noted that sometimes Digimon give themselves more traditional names (V_Tamer's Gabumon and Gomamon that helped Taichi out had proper names)

[@kingtyrone3769]

Glad to see you posting buddy ! Keep the content coming :) !! Stay consistent

[@MrPineappleMan]

Well this is pretty informative. I'm a fan of this work now. (Also I name my Agumon Brutus lol)

[@The_digiologist]

An excellent name!!!

[@SharkWitchMeruna]

My SkullGreymon has always been Skully. Even after De-Digivolving and changing his line to ShineGreymon, I still kept it Skully. XD

[@The_digiologist]

An awesome name!

[@austinhill9762]

I call my Digimon partner coco

[@The_digiologist]

A great name!

[@REDxYELLOW100]

I've always called any typical Agumon line I use Agi. There's probably some deeper meaning it has to fire, but I just know it as the basic fire spell from Persona/Shin Magami series

[@mitchavedon]

I'm gonna call my Digimon partner Harpo

[@TheYashakami]

Nips and woke killed me.

[@screechingtoad2683]

Speaking of labramon, I think seisamon can digigvolve to caturamon. They are both based on similar (but different) things from east Asian folklore

[@ZachBlackforest]

Nickname my Aracanemon "Legs"

[@Flirtz420]

I would love to have the twin digimon Lopmon n terriermon. But going into the angel and demon evolution lines. Lopmons nickname would be Shiva. Terriermons nickname would be Yue.

[@The_digiologist]

Perfect nicknames for the pair

[@purkle200]

I have two Dracomon nicknamed Azure [Female] and Midori [Male]

[@JoshuaPAMployee]

My Partner is always "Lily" no matter her form

[@kitthechaotic]

[@ApprenticeOtaku]

Do Digimon have serial numbers, bar codes, or anything like that?

[@jeremyberner5164]
