Strange claims on TV Tropes

I'll own up: it's a mistranslation on my part. Though, to be honest, the lack of a profile for Apocalymon (either through Digimon Dictionary or otherwise) is also to blame. Not even his Japanese entry in the Sunburst/Moonlight games clarifies his connections with Millenniumon. Here, then, is the real translation:

Apocalymon
A Digimon whose form was conceived from the negative thoughts of man and the grudges of Digimon who fell without being able to evolve. The appearance of Apocalymon was written down in an ancient book of prophecies. The various grudges of regretful Digimon are stored in his big body, which is also jam-packed with information on those Digimon, such as their evolutions and both special and signature attacks. But his real body is the one on top of the big body. It's said that Apocalymon was once sealed away somewhere until his restraints, the same ones created to hold back Millenniumon, were broken.

So, yes, TV Tropes got hold of a translation I mis-translated, so we are both in the wrong.

So, Apocalymon is also sealed behind that "Digimon Channel" url-band?

[Inpu]

No, that's Zeed. This seems to just be talking about the Wall of Fire.

Thanks for the translation. Could you tell me how many of the older Digimon still lack profiles/have to be translated?

[VanChizzle]

I see, thanks guys.

Interesting. Wonder what restraints were holding Millenniumon in place...

It seems to be a reference to the barriers separating the Dark Area / Dark World from the rest of the Digital World.

Wouldn't the translation suggest he also came from beyond the Wall of Fire though, like with Apocalymon?

[TMS]

Possibly. Though we're talking about general canon here rather than Adventure canon.
