Digimon Reference Book

The Digimon Dictionary is a subsection of Digimon Web focussed on providing both the official names and profiles of Digimon which include ones that were never released on any of Digimon Web's other subsites or in general. The site was launched in June 2007 and has since been usually updated every week with the addition of two new profiles. There are currently 202 Digimon profiles available on the Digimon Dictionary. =Structure=

Categorization
Profiles are categorized in two different ways and can be viewed accordingly upon the viewer's preference. They are listed alphabetically, subdivided into ten designated sections. These are also included in the URL of a Digimon's account:
 * 01-a
 * 02-ka
 * 03-sa
 * 04-ta
 * 05-na
 * 06-ha
 * 07-ma
 * 08-ya
 * 09-ra
 * 10-wa

They are also listed by evolution stage:

When new profiles are added, they are indicated by having the word " NEW!! " temporarily placed to the left of a Digimon's name until a new set of profiles are unveiled. There is also a field that lists the year a Digimon was active from, however although there are a few Digimon listed with given dates, namely those that were added near the time of Digimon Dicitionary's opening, this seems to have ceased when newer, more recent profiles are released.

Page Format
All the current Digimon pages follow the basic format above. The names provided are a general standardization for names spelled differently in the past. There are some very small differences, for example in pages released near the time of launch have the name of a Digimon in a different font to the newly released ones. Some profiles added to the dictionary that were released previously on various Digimon Web subsites either have extra information incorporated into them, small pieces of information deducted from them or are completely altered.

Example of a completely altered profile (Pukamon): Digimon Dictionary 水棲恐竜の幼生を思わせる外観を持つが、その動きはまるでタツノオトシゴのように軽妙で、ひょうきんなデジモン. しかし、性格的にはピチモンだったころの人なつっこさは影を潜めてしまい、他者が接近すると素早く逃げてしまう. 外皮はまだ深海の水圧と低温に耐えられず、深海への潜水可能時間も長くない.

Original profile ちょっと見ただけでは、水に住んでいた恐りゅうの子供のような外観を持つデジモン. その動きも現実の世界のタツノオトシゴのように軽みょうで、見ている者を思わず楽しくさせてくれるひょうきんなものだ. ただし、性格的にはピチモンだった頃のような人なつっこさはなくしてしまっているので、誰かが近よってもすぐににげ出してしまう. かわいいからといって友達になろうとするのは、意外とむずかしいようだ. また、一見強そうに見えるその外皮は、まだまだ成長期の段階にあるので非常に弱い. そのため、深海の水圧と低温にはたえられず、あまり深い場所にはもぐっている時間もかぎられている. この段階では、必殺技もまだおぼえていない.

While the majority of the images are displayed in high quality, with a standardized size of 320 x 320 pixels, for a brief time - between - there were a number of images released that were below the current standard. Although the quality of images released prior to this returned to normal, with the exception of two pages, the remaining low quality images still exist on their pages.
