Hmm. Again, I would have just redirected it to the basic form, since it ''is'' what people think of when they think of Rex, and it already has this section at the bottom of its page...

Telefang 2 naming issues[edit]

As some of you may know, the way that new Denjū are named in Telefang 2 is weird. The names DO NOT CHANGE when they evolve. For example, Rex's name doesn't change when it evolves. This presents a problem with making new articles about these new Denjū. Should the articles be titles like "Rex (Reform 1)", "Rex (Natural 1)", and so on? What do you all think?

Yep, I guess so. But does the basic stage have no extra stuff after its name? ~Milnivri~ 07:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
