Editing Talk:Poochy

== Infobox Image ==

Should it be the [[Yoshi's Woolly World]] artwork? I thought we only put general images in the infobox, ones that don't apply to only one game. For example, [[Bowser Jr.]]'s infobox image can't depict him in the [[Junior Clown Car]] because that applies only to certain games. Should it be changed?<br>

:I agree. If there is a more standard choice of artwork for any character (neutral and not stylized for a specific game/series), then we should use that instead.

::That already is policy. Whoever is changing the Poochy to yarn Poochy artwork is doing it wrong. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 11:25, 16 February 2017 (EST)

== Species ==

I currently have his species listed as "dog" but could it be possible that "Poochy" is the name of his species? Like with [[Yoshi]] [[User:MarioLover54|MarioLover54]] ([[User talk:MarioLover54|talk]]) 14:17, August 2, 2019 (EDT)
:I highly doubt that. Yoshis have been officially shown to be a species many times. Poochy has always been referred to as and shown to be an individual character. {{User:Obsessive Mario Fan/sig}} 15:06, August 2, 2019 (EDT)

-Excuse me? Yoshis are canonically a species! [[User:MarioLover54|MarioLover54]]
-:That's... exactly what he said? --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:23, August 2, 2019 (EDT)
-I agree that Poochy is a dog and not a separate species called "Poochy," due to the quote at the beginning of his article. Also, he has a good sense of smell in [[Yoshi's Story]] like dogs do. The only reason I think Poochy may be a different species is that [[Yoshi]], a dinosaur, can ride him instead of crush him. --[[User:Kaden Pervaiz|Kaden]] ([[User talk:Kaden Pervaiz|talk]]) 14:00, December 2, 2020 (EST)
-:I mean, [[Poochy Pup]]s from Poochy & Yoshi's Wooly World imply that "Poochy" is a species too, as that's used as an adjective to describe a collective of a related animal. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 14:25, December 2, 2020 (EST)
