Talk:Podley

Ever refer to him as Beanish? Max2 (talk)

nice eye! They never say he is beanish,he doesnt even talk about. Full Metal Moogle

He looks exactly like one though, bean-shaped head, green skin... -- Sir Grodus

We should put a noe the it's inferred. Max2 (talk)

It isnt said that he is a bean bean. That information should NOT and i repeat NOT be on there if it isnt true- nvm maby in the trivia section- BUT THATS ALL Full Metal Moogle

We don't know if he's Beanish or not since Beanish people don't have an official name. But he is so obviously Beanish or came from the Beanbean Kingdom., especially with that reference to Chuckola Cola.

He LOOKS Beanish. Max2 (talk) It doesn't mention it, so it's not confirmed.

For that matter, how do we know Queen Bean is beanish? Some things you need to actually make an inference.

Are you serious with "For that matter, how do we know Queen Bean is beanish?"?!? COME ON. Full Metal Moogle

Exactly, that was my point. Queen Bean is never confirmed to be Beanish, yet we list her as one. This guy is obviously Beanish, but we don't list him as one? That's just wrong. Then what is he? A sub-species of Beanish people?

Queen Bean lives in the beanbean kingdom. She rules over all beans. Podley, on the other hand, lives in rougeport. He rules over nothingness.

Isn't it possible that Queen Bean rules over another species? Peach is a human, so are all people under her rule human? No, they're Toads.

Peach dosent have a say in the matter, now does she? Full Metal Moogle

What do you mean Peach has no say in the matter?
I am Confused 17:11, 21 April 2007 (EDT)

Peach isnt ruled by queen bean bean. So, why would she matter? Full Metal Moogle (I'm not trying to start a fight, just proving you wrong :P)

I wasn't saying that. I was just saying that it is possible to rule a kingdom with citizens who are completely different species from the ruler.

Beanish Designation

I can see there's been some editing back and forth over whether or not he's Beanish. Either way, he was recently added to Category:Legumes, which I don't think is a point of debate. Naturally, it reminded me of my Talk:Grifty#Classify_as_a_Little_Mouser proposal. I think its much more obvious that Podley, and Podler for that matter, is meant to be Beanish than it is that Grifty is meant to be a Little Mouser, and I can remember that was once listed as his species on that page. His talk page doesn't have any reference to it and I can't find an archived proposal about it, but maybe I'm missing something or searching for it incorrectly. Either way, it might be helpful to have a section to discuss that designation on this page since it seems to consistently be a point of contention, evidenced by the debate above this way back in 2007. There's been several edits back and forth about him being Beanish over the years, so do we want to do a proposal over it? Given the rejection of the Grifty proposal, I don't want to create proposals if there's an obvious consensus without one, but, unlike Grifty, it seems like this has been more controversial over the years. With or without a proposal, hopefully this more recent discussion on the talk page can help guide anyone in future who wants to list him as a Beanish. Dr. Baskerville 18:05, June 12, 2024 (EDT)
