(First topic)[edit]
I really don't see why the Wario Land II weights are described on this page – they don't really have anything in common besides the ability to crush Wario in some fashion. I would like to suggest moving the description of these weights to the D-Bat page, given how closely associated they are. AmossGuy (talk) 18:32, January 9, 2025 (EST)
- They are explicitly given the same name in Japanese, ie the language-of-origin. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:22, January 9, 2025 (EST)
- I agree with AmossGuy. I understand the perspective that these weights from Wario Land II are distinct from Pouncers, and I agree they aren't directly related. However, I believe it's more accurate to compare these weights to the Omodon from Wario Land 3, as the Omodon is essentially a variant of a weight. This suggests that the Wario Land II weights share a closer conceptual relationship with the Omodon than with Pouncers.
Given this, I think it's best to keep the Wario Land II weights separate from Pouncers, as they are different entities with different functions. While they can all be considered part of the same general "family" of Wario Land enemies, they each deserve their own dedicated pages to avoid confusion and to accurately represent their unique characteristics.

- The only actual name the latter are given explicitly connects them. Things get redesigned sometimes. They aren't really any more different than SMB3 and SM64 Thwomps are from each other. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 09:52, May 13, 2025 (EDT)
