From what I can tell, these names were used interchangeably for the same creature. Apparently the use of the term comes from ''Yoshi's "[[Spike|Gabon]]" Story'', but ''Super Mario RPG'' preceeded it by also calling the usual chained variety Chomps. It just seems like this would be similar to splitting quadrapedal and bipedal Koopas, or "plumber with a hat" and "plumber without a hat". (On a side note, wouldn't ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' be the first appearance of unchained Chomps if the player allows them to yank their chain too long? Sure it's not called a Chomp there, but neither is [[Statue Mario]].) [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 12:09, 10 October 2014 (EDT)

:There's a solid history of large, already-unchained Chain Chomps appearing in games and filling a gameplay niche different from chain-chomps, much moreso than there is of bipedal vs quadrapedal koopas, though.
I wouldn't take SMRPG usage of the name as indicative of anything since the English translation was handled on the Square side and features the occassional inconsistencies (I'm loathe to say "errors"...) vs. the rest of the series. Though then again, "Gabon" is also the result of a translation error so... whatever. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 13:41, 10 October 2014 (EDT)

French Name?

What exactly is the reason of the French name being there? We'd have a lot to do to add the names of all species in all languages the games where released in. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 09:56, 15 January 2008 (EST)

After browsing throught the Transformers wiki, I thought it would be interresing to add the international names of all character/place/species, especially if they are not litteral translation of the english/japanese name. I thinks this kind of information is, you know, encyclopedic. --Blitzwing 15:36, 15 January 2008 (EST)


Why can't it be. French is a common languege. It shouldnt be in the placement though. Alphaclaw11 09:57, 15 January 2008 (EST)

If anything, Japanese. -- Pseudo-dino

This discussion is over a year old. Now we're as far as having a {{foreignname}} template which makes it very easy to list the foreign names in all langauges the games get translated to. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 09:08, 23 January 2009 (EST)

Animation

Do we really need that animation and the image to the right? They're identical, only one of them is moving. BLOC PARTIER.

I find animations really annoying. -- Son of Suns (talk)
I do too. I just replaced it cuz it was bad before. Anyhow, which should we trash? BLOC PARTIER.
Animation. I feel it just makes the article look silly. -- Son of Suns (talk)
Alrighty then. Edit upcoming. BLOC PARTIER.

Incoming Chomp in Galaxy?

How are we so sure that those Chomps in SMG and SMG2 are Incoming Chomps? I mean, the Incoming Chomps in YI and YIDS attack, by, coming in the scene, and make a large gap. The Chomps in SMG and SMG2 attack by... rolling. In SMG2, there are even smaller Chomps, that roll in a circle. To make it even more unlikely that the Chomp in SMG is an Incoming Chomp, the article name's conjectural for a part. And on the (no longer existing) American and (still existing) European site of SMA3:YI, Incoming Chomps are named Incoming Chomps. So, I think those Chomps in SMG and SMG2 are no incoming Chomps. Should we split it? ArendLogoTransparent.pngrend (talk) (edits)

Then where should we merge the galaxy one? I don't think we merge it to chain chomp cuz they don't have any chain. I say we keep it like this, since they both have no chains.Dry Bones in Paper MarioCount Bonsula I need blood...Ml2 drybones.png

Is that the only thing? There are enough Chain-less Chomps on the Chain Chomp article. Here's an example. If the Chomp still needs an article, we'd name it "Chomp (Super Mario Galaxy)". Agree? ArendLogoTransparent.pngrend (talk) (edits)
The Yoshi's Story Chomps were immobile, so of course they had no chains. Per Mr bones. Pikmin' BluePikminKong497 16:13, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
I wonder why that is not mentioned there. And like I said before, we could put the SMG Chomp info into a new article and name it "Chomp (Super Mario Galaxy)". ArendLogoTransparent.pngrend (talk) (edits)
Well, I'm not sure about a new article... I mean, alot of links that meant the Smg chomp is linked to [[Incoming Chomp]] so, that would be confusing... unless theres a rederict or did you mean?

Then we should change that when the article is created, when it's settled. ArendLogoTransparent.pngrend (talk) (edits)

Move the page to "Chomp"

I think we should rename this page to "Chomp", because it's this article that is the most popular. Furthermore, there is currently no page named "Chomp".
Banon (talk · edits) 15:06, 30 December 2012 (EST)

I agree with this change. I don't think we even need a proposal for this BabyLuigiFire.pngRay Trace(T|C)
Ok ! I was doing it, but I realized that the Chomp page exists, and it's just a redirect to Chomp (disambiguation). I don't know how move a page to a page that currently exists, so I will let somebody else do it.
Banon (talk · edits) 15:32, 30 December 2012 (EST)
Go to the redirect page and copy pasta the coding for the article into the redirect page. It's simple. I'll do it if you still can't figure out. BabyLuigiFire.pngRay Trace(T|C)

Incoming Chomp

"Incoming Chomp" redirects to "Chomp". Can anyone tell me if this name official ?
Banon (talk · edits) 16:18, 1 January 2013 (EST)

It is a redirect left after the page was moved. See this: I can't confirm the name though.

Chomp & Chain Chomp

From what I can tell, these names were used interchangeably for the same creature. Apparently the use of the term comes from Yoshi's "Gabon" Story, but Super Mario RPG preceeded it by also calling the usual chained variety Chomps. It just seems like this would be similar to splitting quadrapedal and bipedal Koopas, or "plumber with a hat" and "plumber without a hat". (On a side note, wouldn't Super Mario Bros. 3 be the first appearance of unchained Chomps if the player allows them to yank their chain too long? Sure it's not called a Chomp there, but neither is Statue Mario.) LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:09, 10 October 2014 (EDT)

There's a solid history of large, already-unchained Chain Chomps appearing in games and filling a gameplay niche different from chain-chomps, much moreso than there is of bipedal vs quadrapedal koopas, though.

I wouldn't take SMRPG usage of the name as indicative of anything since the English translation was handled on the Square side and features the occassional inconsistencies (I'm loathe to say "errors"...) vs. the rest of the series. Though then again, "Gabon" is also the result of a translation error so... whatever. --Glowsquid (talk) 13:41, 10 October 2014 (EDT)
