| ::::They're isopods! Isopods are a type of crustacean, not a type of insect! Sure, both are arthropods, but it's like generalizing that frogs and humans are both reptiles because they're chordates, when neither of them really are! --[[User:CompliensCreator|CompliensCreator]] ([[User talk:CompliensCreator|talk]]) 23:56, 25 July 2018 (EDT) | | ::::They're isopods!

| :::::That's a conversation from 8 years ago. Anyways, please note that they're called Melon ''Bug''s, which would at least imply that they're insects, if not specifically of order ''Hemiptera''. Admittedly, "Sow Bug" and "Pill Bug" are common names for certain isopods, but that's a bit beside the point. There's also no source outright stating that they ''are'' isopods, they might just be similar. After all, scorpions have a similar body structure to lobsters, and they're completely different types of arthropods themselves.

| :::::Their japanese name don't consider them as bugs, and what does the Advance 3 Japanese guide says about it though? I don't know Japanese, and to be sure they were intended to be bugs, we should read their Japanese description in the Advance 3 Guide. --[[Special:Contributions/83.156.220.80|83.156.220.80]] 06:20, 26 July 2018 (EDT)

| ''Approaching makes it roll into a ball and although it comes, its touch isn't even harmful, but an egg can defeat it. If eaten and exhaled, it will defeat enemies while rolling forward.''

| Note that [https://hit930.sakura.ne.jp/hitjapan/book11/P150130316.JPG the ''Super Famicom'' version] uses different text, but it's hard to make out all the characters with the current scan, though I'm pretty sure it also doesn't mention anything about melons or bugs.
