Is this article really necessary? Kameneta is the only one to ever appear, and the article spends most of the time just talking about him anyway. Seems like it can be merged. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 13:59, December 28, 2021 (EST)

I agree this article seems a bit pointless. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 14:30, December 28, 2021 (EST)
I also agree, especially if this proposal is anything to go by. Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 14:45, December 28, 2021 (EST)
Ehn, unlike shadow this has an actual name going for it. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:08, December 28, 2021 (EST)
I don't think the fact it has a name matters. The point is this is a species which only has one specific individual to be a part of it (and is probably not known if there are more of this type of species). Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 15:47, December 28, 2021 (EST)
The problem is how we'd cover it otherwise. Since it's a different name than the character, we can't cleanly merge it. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:06, December 29, 2021 (EST)
I don't think it's much of an issue, Kameneta's article already says everything there is to know about this species (it's a shapeshifting Dry Bones species called Suppon no Karon) in a single sentence in the opening. Just pipelink to the character page when we need to talk about the species. I don't think it needs its own species article to talk about a single character. Out of curiosity though, is there any other precedent to a situation like this where there's a named species whose only member is a named character? --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

I believe so. Somethingone (talk) 13:32, December 29, 2021 (EST)
That doesn't count, the name is shared (also the gold one). Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:50, December 29, 2021 (EST)
Then how about we cover it like we did with this? Somethingone (talk) 14:07, December 29, 2021 (EST)
Craw is somewhat similar off the top of my head, as pretty much every other language indicates that their species is really Dark Craw. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:00, December 30, 2021 (EST)
