Before we even make the article, can we rename this to Big Trottin' Piranha Plant? Despite the internal name calling it "Big Run Run Packun", the regular sized variant was also called "Run Run Packun" in its' internal files and yet it has been officially called the "Trottin' Piranha Plant". I think it is reasonable for anyone to conclude that if the internal name for this enemy is also called "Run Run Packun" but with "Big" before it then it's English name should be "Big Trottin' Piranha Plant". I understand people are very particular with this subject so if necessary we can add a title-box at the top of the article stating something like "The name is an educated conclusion based off of the known official sources. If the official English source is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title." By doing this we can make the enemy gallery much more clear to understand for visitors on this wiki.

This isn't just for the Big Trottin' Piranha, there are lots of practice naming examples like "Bone Run Run Packun" or "Kodeka Maimai" that could also benefit from this change. I understand this is treading on new ground but I hope we can put aside the bureaucracy and make a reasonable change so these articles become more user friendly.
