Talk:Poison Piranha Plant

Putrid Piranha

I'd like anyone who can to get the Shogakukan guide for this game so we can get a name for this enemy in Japanese, and see how it compares to Putrid Piranha. If it's the same, a merge may be in order. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:25, 27 October 2017 (EDT)

There is such a thing as being overzealous with merging, and one name from one guide should not be the deciding factor. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 01:06, 27 October 2017 (EDT)

What's less viable about this (if the JP name is the same) that two completely-different species of moles with different appearances and official names? Besides, The original Putrid Piranhas were just large, forward-facing regular-colored Piranhas. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:14, 27 October 2017 (EDT)

That situation is more complex than you're making it seem, and using it to justify this is shaky at best. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 01:30, 27 October 2017 (EDT)

All I see is a lot of arbitrary bases. Either way, that's not the point of this discussion; the point is that we need to find out what this thing's Japanese name is, so a proposal can potentially be made if they happen to be the same. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:32, 27 October 2017 (EDT)

Considering how your first comment concludes that merging the pages may be necessary, I don't see how it isn't relevant. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 01:36, 27 October 2017 (EDT)

I'm saying we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:37, 27 October 2017 (EDT)

And see, now we can see they have different names. So there won't be a proposal. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:35, 30 October 2017 (EDT)

Merge Poison Piranha Plant with Putrid Piranha

Both piranha plants are based on the same idea: "Poisonous Piranha Plants."

The separation by Japanese name is in the same vein as Underwater pukupuku. The mere fact that it has "spitting" in its name doesn't mean anything about a separation, since Putrid Piranhas can also do it. Their biggest difference is that while one is liquid, the other is gaseous, but it's very minimal.

Finally, people use Viridi's dialogue in Smash as an argument, the same one who considers Petey a species? No thanks.
