The Game Boy Pocket and the Game Boy Light are successors of the original Game Boy itself, so I wonder why both consoles are merged as sections in the Game Boy article itself. They're separate systems, just like the Game Boy Color. I think these sections should get separated and become articles.
{{early notice|option=yes|March 21, 2025}}
Okay, first of, what is GB? Or should I say, who is GB? It's a bit unclear. Anyways, GB, known in Japanese as GB-kun, is an enormous Game Boy seen in 9-Volt's room in ''WarioWare, inc: Mega Microgame$''. It's capable of speech (if "OK" counts as speech), has a robotic arm it uses to insert cartridges into itself?, and, again, is very large. Not only is it clearly not a normal Game Boy, but it's also anthropomorphized by the ''-kun'' honorific (compare Diskun) and ability to talk(?). Whatever this thing is, it should surely be split.

#{{User|Raven Effect}} If this were a Nintendo Wiki i would say yes but this isn't a Nintendo Wiki it's a Mario Wiki and no Mario games are exclusive to one console so it makes no sense to split.

How come we don't have the Game Boy Color. -Nerdy Guy

Split GB

A Yellow Block from Super Mario World This talk page section contains an unresolved talk page proposal. Please try to help and resolve the issue by voting or leaving a comment.

Current time: Thursday, March 27, 2025, 02:24 GMT

Based on the vote so far, this option may be eligible to close one week early. Please use {{proposal check|early=yes}} on March 21, 2025 at 23:59 GMT and close the option if applicable.

Okay, first of, what is GB? Or should I say, who is GB? It's a bit unclear. Anyways, GB, known in Japanese as GB-kun, is an enormous Game Boy seen in 9-Volt's room in WarioWare, inc: Mega Microgame$. It's capable of speech (if "OK" counts as speech), has a robotic arm it uses to insert cartridges into itself?, and, again, is very large. Not only is it clearly not a normal Game Boy, but it's also anthropomorphized by the -kun honorific (compare Diskun) and ability to talk(?). Whatever this thing is, it should surely be split.

Proposer: Blinker (talk)
Deadline: March 28, 2025, 23:59 GMT

Support: split GB

  1. Blinker (talk) Per proposal. By the way, I'm always a bit confused about the identifier rules. Should this be GB (character) or would GB suffice?
  2. Pseudo (talk) Seems like this is a distinct character who is a Game Boy, rather than an ordinary example of a Game Boy. Per proposal.
  3. Super Mario RPG (talk) Per Blinker.
  4. Camwoodstock (talk) Per proposal. In regards to Blinker, we assume it would be GB (character), since GB is an abbreviation redirect for the Game Boy itself.
  5. Hewer (talk) OK
  6. ThePowerPlayer (talk) Per all.
  7. Rykitu (talk) Per all.
  8. Pizza Master (talk) Per all.

Oppose: do not split GB

Comments (GB?)

By "GB-kun", do you mean the one on the left in this image?

Yes. Well, technically "GB" is just a name in the cast roll but it's fairly obvious that that's what it's referring to, I think. Blinker (talk) 18:24, March 14, 2025 (EDT)
On identifiers: I've seen both, but usually a well-placed "about" template does the job. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:00, March 15, 2025 (EDT)
I think it makes more sense to have "GB" redirect to the Game Boy article, and have GB-kun receive the character identifier. Both are Game Boys, and I assume people will look for the system itself when searching for GB, rather than the rather semi-obscure character that is also a Game Boy. It's like how "Peach" redirects to Princess Peach, and the fruit itself has the fruit identifier. ArendLogoTransparent.pngrend (talk) (edits) 11:16, March 15, 2025 (EDT)
