Talk:Korvallis

Wait...if Koops says that it was his father, what does he have to do with Kolorado? Super-Yoshi^{Talk? C???}

Because Koops was mistaken. After he read the letter in his hand, he found out that it was Kolorado's father. — Stooben Rooben 00:23, 9 January 2009 (EST)

Possible page move?

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

So, I think I may have come up with an actual name for Kolorado's father. In the original TTYD, the ID for Goombella tattling on him is リチャード ("Richard"), found in text file gon_03. Now, in the remake apparently all the tattles were moved to hint_npc, with the ID now being msg_kuri_npc_026 ("kuri" refers to Goombella).

Now, this not being in the remake shouldn't matter, considering we still have a page called Frogfucius' Student, but this Richard name is actually used in new content. In the Creepy Steeple Boo's fifth quiz, a possible answer for "What is the name of the son mentioned in the letter held by the Dull Bones in Hooktail Castle?" in Japanese is リチャード ("Richard") once again. I will note that Kolorado's name is Charles in Japanese, so they have shared theming of having English names.

With all this said, it seems pretty obvious we should just move the page to Richard and replace the conjectural name template with a dev data name template. However, there is one more thing I'd like to the discuss, and that is the fact that Kolorado's dad may have gotten an official English name, too.

Returning to that Creepy Steeple Boo quiz question, the option replacing "Richard" in English is "Korvallis". Like Richard matching Charles' naming scheme due to them being father and son, the same can be said for Korvallis and Kolorado. Corvallis is a city in Oregon, which I imagine NoA would be quite aware of due to being headquartered in Seattle, and Colorado is a state. Both location names replace the C with a K. I've actually headcanoned for months now that Korvallis is Kolorado's dad's name once I found out about Richard in the quiz, but finding out that he was called Richard even in the original game's files really seals the deal for me. However, I'm aware this is likely too speculative, and would not work as a page move unlike the explicitly from dev data Richard. I would still like to mention that his English name is possibly Korvallis in trivia or something.

So yeah, I was considering making this a proposal, but we prioritize dev data over conjectural names and there isn't enough there to justify a move to Korvallis. So should we move the page to Richard? Technetium (talk) 08:58, November 27, 2024 (EST)
