Talk:Noshi

Should we call it Noshi?
While the policy prompts us to use the Hepburn Romanization for Japanese names, the Japanese name of this dinosaur is a clear reference to the name of Yoshi, much like the Japanese name of Dorrie and the Japanese name of Plessie. As such I think it would make more sense to name it Noshi, this way it would also be easier to refer to through links in this wiki. What name should we use?--Mister Wu (talk) 21:00, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'd support moving it to Noshi. 21:02, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Although it is an unofficial translation, I'd prefer moving it to Noshi. 21:29, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * That wouldn't be a translation, as we'd still be using the official Japanese name, but rather a romanization using, so essentially a romanization according to nonstandard rules based on the romanization done by Nintendo (is that actually a more modern romanization, by the way?).--Mister Wu (talk) 21:40, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Though I would support it, I'd say it needs a bit more discussion first. 23:51, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * That'd require checking the internal filenames. -- 07:45, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * The best sources for filenames would be Mario Kart 7 and especially Mario Kart Tour, but I have no access to either.--Mister Wu (talk) 08:56, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * I agree with FanOfYoshi - let's first see if we can gather its internal name, and go from there. Note that Dorrie's Japanese name has been rendered anything from Dossy to Doshi, showing that Nintendo's romanization rules can change at any given moment, so I prefer we not make another exception to policy until then.

 * Dossy is actually the old romanization taught in Japanese schools, used also for Yoshi in the SNES era (e.g. ), indeed in Super Mario Odyssey Dossy was replaced with the current romanization rules from Nintendo (Doshi) that better reflect Western pronounciation, as that good article from Mandelin shows.--Mister Wu (talk) 09:58, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * Even now, we still get romanization inconsistencies such as Heiho/Heyho, Kameck/Kamek, WooGan/Ugan, etc. Plus, there are always exceptions, as the modern "Yoshi" was also used in 1993's Mario & Wario for Super Famicom, which predates Yossy Island. So it's rather how each developer was taught, not that Nintendo of Japan as a whole adheres to a certain set of rules. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:30, July 19, 2019 (EDT)

The reddish one
Shouldn't we make note of the reddish-colored one that's moving around in the lake in the original? I figured it was a reference to the old misconception that Brontosaurus couldn't sustain its own weight on land and as such needed to stay in water. The current Dino Dino Jungle article seems to think it's a plesiosaur, if I'm reading it correctly. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:06, July 20, 2019 (EDT)
