Don't class the Paper Mario characters as Shamen

The only link that seems to be here is they look vaguely similar. That's it. That's the only evidence to suggest that Merlon, Merlee, Merluvlee, Nolrem, and all the other lot are all Shamen. No in game dialogue, no supplementary material, nothing. Just raw speculation. This, honestly, is just absurd; we're a wiki for what's concrete and canon, not for haphazard speculation. And it's especially bad in this case, too, since SMRPG and Paper Mario are two completely different series, made by two completely different developers.

I don't know what we'll disjoint their species off to if this passes, but I know this; it shouldn't be this article, because nothing states they're actually Shamen.

  1. Camwood777 (talk) - There is not one statement in these games that suggests they are shamen. Not one. This honestly only makes me question how on earth this was undetected for so long.
  2. Alex95 (talk) - Yeah, why is the enemy grouped with the unrelated Paper Mario characters, again?

Oppose

Paper Mario actually began as a sequel to Super Mario RPG. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 14:05, 16 September 2017 (EDT)

We could just remove the Paper Mario stuff altogether. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:07, 16 September 2017 (EDT)

If we do that, what species are they then? The closest match we have is Shaman. They can't be Flip-Flop Folk as the infoboxes proclaim. We can say they are those by nationality, kind of like me living in the United States and calling me an American, but I am of European decent. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 15:52, 16 September 2017 (EDT)
