Merge Luigi's Mansion Bats

Why not merging Bat (Luigi's Mansion) with Bat (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon)? they are the same group of ghosts that do the same thing.--

From what I've seen the ones in Luigi's Mansion are ghosts, yet the ones in Dark Moon are alive (I think). Yoshi876 (talk)

Per what someone else said, you need to start a Talk Page Proposal before just moving things. Lord Grammaticus (talk) 11:52, 27 January 2014 (EST)

Since no one managed to answer my question above, I purpose merging them.

Support

1. Megadardery (talk) Per my comment above.
2. Randombob-omb4761 (talk) Per proposal.
3. Coooool123 (talk) I have to disagree with the comments below. Despite their differences, it is stated that they can be defeated 'with the poltergust'. While there IS another method to defeat them, the strobe light, their weaknesses are still the same. Due to the fact that there was no strobe light in the first game, there's no way to prove if they're identical species. But that's just like saying the Goombas in Super Mario 3D world are different that the Goombas in Super Mario Brothers 3 because the former can be defeated with a Boomerang power up, while the latter cannot, simply because this power up doesn't exist. Now, should this proposal be considering merging bats with swoopers, then I'd have a harder time agreeing. But there's no denying that they're the same species: they deal the same amount of damage, and they come in the same colours in each game: purple and gold. If there are any minor differences, these can be made mention of in the page. Consider also the fact that Red and Green paratroopas are mentioned in the same article, and that difference is way more noticeable than this. I say go for it.

Oppose

1. Tails777 (talk) Personally Mario's comments pretty much sum it up, but I still think they're different enough to have their own pages. While the Dark Moon bats can be sucked up like the bats in Luigi's Mansion, the main way to defeat them is to hit em with the Strobulb.
2. SuperYoshiBros (talk) Per Mario's comments and Tails.

Comments

There might be slight differences. The Bat from the first game is ghost-like while the one from Dark Moon is more animal-like. The ghost Bat disappears if it hits Luigi while the other bat can repeatedly hit him. Also, Dark Moon's bats are vulnerable to Strobulbs while the first one are vulnerable to elemental moves. It's given, though, that these two attacks are limited to the games they appear in. Does it warrant a merge or a split? I don't know. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 21:27, 27 January 2014 (EST)

These are minor differences, why should it have a separate page in the first place?--

You think Mice needs its own page? Because right now, they're separate between the two games. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 14:06, 2 February 2014 (EST)

The reason I'm not voting is that I'm split on this. Mario basically summed up my thoughts. Ray Trace^(T|C) 14:07, 2 February 2014 (EST)

@Mario Maybe, if a "Gold Mice" were edited and moved to "Mouse".--
