Piscatory Pete meets Flopsy Fish
Despite the [[media:Advance 3 Shogakukan P21.png|GBA Shogakukan guide]] having a separate entry for Piscatory Pete (albeit separated by an identifier), the [[media:Super Mario Yossy Island Shogakukan P7.jpg|SNES Shogakukan guide]] clearly considers it the same as Flopsy Fish. Merge to Cheep Cheep? LinkTheLefty (talk) 00:21, August 21, 2020 (EDT)
 * Yes, similar name, similar looks, and in Yoshi's New Island, they're replaced by green Cheep Cheeps. 00:46, August 21, 2020 (EDT)
 * Absolutely. While on the surface they don't look like "typical" Cheeps, they're clearly going off the weird design used in SMW. As for the separate design in general, Flopsy Fish was (aside from the "biting" pose) assembled from smaller graphics to make it animate more fluidly while Pete was made to fit in a 16x16 space to conserve space. The fact that YNI absolutely converged them makes this pretty clear-cut. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:18, August 21, 2020 (EDT)
 * I should add something that I hadn't taken into account before. In Yoshi's Island DS, the Island Museum gives separate displays to both fish in the aquatic-enemy exhibit. While a few related enemies like the Boos share the same display, different enemies generally get separate displays. What do you make of this? LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:59, November 14, 2020 (EST)
