That makes no sense. All other Digimon series ( and a lot other Anime here ) are listed by their japanese names, so why is Savers listed under the Dub Name?

Thanks for pointing that out. We'll change the other entries to their English names. Our policy is to list all anime that has been licensed in English speaking territories under the name by which it is released in those territories.

Just check Detective Conan movies: some of them are in the original English name, while others i.e. licensed ones plus the TV series use Case Closed. It's the policy of the site, serving the Anglosphere (North America in particular) first. All alternative titles can be searched using the search box located at upper right corner.

I still think it is worse.
And it would just confuse people who don't know about the different names.

Aren't licensed shows supposed to be listed in bold in the encyclopedia? The only Digimon title listed as such is the first movie.
