I have to say, I find the splitting of the different games' Poltergusts a bit silly. I mean, I get why it's the case, and I don't really have any good arguments otherwise. Still, it's splitting the same (fairly important!) recurring element of the series across different pages because of what amounts to a cute naming quirk. A cute naming quirk that only exists in the first place because the original English name "Poltergust 3000" happens to imply that other versions would have different names not ending in "3000". I'm not sure where I'm going with this. I guess I'd just like to read someone else's thoughts on this.

I have to say, I find the splitting of the different games' Poltergusts a bit silly. I mean, I get why it's the case, and I don't really have any good arguments otherwise. Still, it's splitting the same (fairly important!) recurring element of the series across different pages because of what amounts to a cute naming quirk. A cute naming quirk that only exists in the first place because the original English name "Poltergust 3000" happens to imply that other versions would have different names not ending in "3000". I'm not sure where I'm going with this. I guess I'd just like to read someone else's thoughts on this. Blinker (talk) 18:19, January 4, 2025 (EST)
- With the exception of Super Poltergust 3001, which is shown existing at the same time as the 3000 (and has a different JP name, unlike every other one), I agree. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:31, January 4, 2025 (EST)
- The only one I personally think is fine being split is the MKDS kart. It's not used in the same way as any of the others. I guess the Super Poltergust 3001 is also fine, Doc's comment on it existing at the same time as the OG model is a point in its favor, but the Poltergusts used in the LM series overall, I feel they could be their own article. I am a bit torn on the fact that they have different functions.
