Talk:Electro-Koopa

Split Electro-Koopa into three articles
The three Electro-Koopa variants described in this article, I feel, are distinct enough to get their own pages. They certainly have fairly drastic different appearances and different behavior. Finally, they're not treated as interchangeable compared the different Koopa/Snifit/Shy Guy colors. Splitting this article will also be generally better for linking instead of just lumping all of them under piped links and vague "Electro-Koopa(s)".

 * 1) - This has bugged me forever for the reasons mentioned above, I just never bothered doing anything (besides complaining on the forum the other day, anyway, which inspired the proposal, so yay). The green one also has a different Japanese name, as extra incentive to split.
 * 2) - Per Walkazo.
 * 3) - Per all. This page looks like a catalog of electro-koopas in its current state.
 * 4) Per all, especially considering how the green variant is one of a kind.
 * 5) – Per all.
 * 1) – Per all.

Comments
When it comes to ascribing names to the species, are we just going with "Electro-Koopa (red/blue/green)"? The guides that I have (Nintendo Power and BradyGames) both refer to the blue variety as Electro-Koopas and don't have much else for the other ones (NP vaguely calls them turtles, BG calls them "Denki Nokonoko", which is just a romanisation of their Japanese name and is thus to be taken with a grain of salt). The game has vague "Look out for Electro-Koopas!" from a couple of NPC's, but that doesn't provide anything for the green guy.
 * I think going with (red/blue/green) modifiers is the ideal route to go although I don't know if that really violates policy or not. 22:41, 26 October 2015 (EDT)
 * Colours will work fine: simple and straightforward. There's already a precedent for it too, thanks to Chap (blue) and Chap (green) from SPM. - 22:48, 26 October 2015 (EDT)
 * Also the Blue Mouse and Purple Mouse from Luigi's Mansion.

Slightly off topic here: while I agree with this proposal, it reminds me of a proposal I made a while back on splitting Green and Red Koopa Troopas (which, if anyone recalls, was so unpopular that people actually accused me of making a prank proposal). So why is this very similar proposal suceeding? The same reasoning could be given to both Electro-Koopas and Koopa Troopas: different looks and different characteristics.

Also, (I don't mean to be rude), Bazooka Mario left this nice comment back on the Koopa Troopa proposal: "I don't appreciate the dismissive attitude because you can technically make a point that two enemies that look different and behave differently should be given separate articles." Um... why doesn't that apply here? I'm probably just missing a really obvious point, so someone please enlighten me. --Andymii (talk) 00:52, 31 October 2015 (EDT)
