Talk:Goop Generator

Merge with Polluted Piranha
It's my understanding that the Goop Generator and the Polluted Piranha are one and the same. There may be different types of both, but you never see one without the other, even in Mario Power Tennis and Mario Golf: Advance Tour. "Goop Generator" isn't listed in-game, in the manual, or in the Nintendo Power guide. There's a chance it's in another guide, but I don't see a point to keeping this page separate anyway even if it did have a name.

This was even brought up in the comments section of a proposal on the Polluted Piranha's talk page: I don't understand why we even have separate articles for Goop Generator and Piranha Plant in the Generator, since the piranha plant is just an extention of the generator. You never encounter a plant without a generator (unlike Bullet Bills or Bob-ombs), and every generator has at least one plant. You could say the plants are the heads and the generator is the body. Once you destroy all the heads, the body dies, and the generator vanishes. For me that's enough to consider it one big creature. We don't have, iirc, separate articles for body parts (King Bob-omb's Mustache, olol), so the two things should be merged to Goop Generator, Polluted Piranha Plant, or whatever fancy name that comes to mind. -


 * @ Rise Up Above It - I agree with Edofenrir too, but there's no reason why we can't simply change the title of the article and then merge it to Goop Generator if that's what people want...my main priority is getting the name changed, but I can also see where merging the two articles would be useful as well. I just think we should handle that with two separate proposals... 14:39, 26 February 2011 (EST)
 * Yeah, that would be a viable option. -

That second proposal never happened until now, as far as I can tell. Long story short (or tl;dr or however that goes), I'm proposing this information gets merged with Polluted Piranha. Doesn't matter if a name can be found, having two pages cover the same thing doesn't seem necessary at all (and the name can always be added to the Polluted Piranha page if one is found).
