The Packees, Dune Buddy and Mommy Noki
I have found out that The Packees are named in the encyclopedia (and also found out that their English name is the same as their Japanese name. Dune Buddy is the one who cares about Dune Buds, and Momy Noki is the one that holds it baby. What are we going to do about them if they are named in the encyclopedia? -- 07:52, June 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * Packees? Are you talking about the three that introduce themselves in Pinna Park? Pretty sure those called themselves the Buckies or something... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:00, June 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yes, those triplets, called Maki-Maki, Miru-Miru and Mai-Mai. -- 09:24, June 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * They're named Plucky, Lucky, and Ducky of the Buckies in-game (I'm not sure which is which). Even the Japanese name more or less translates to "Buckies" (バッキーズ, Bakkīzu). So we've got two errors: one simple diacritical mark mistake, the other for the translator having not played the game. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:35, June 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * What are their names in the guides? Out of curiosity, do Dune Buddy and the Mommy Noki have names in any guides? -- 13:15, June 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * iirc Ducky was the pink one. I was actually going to suggest making a Buckies page a couple of weeks ago, but I forgot to. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:20, June 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * What about Dune Buddy and Mommy Noki? What guides give them a name besides the infamous encyclopedia? -- 14:56, June 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * If they're in Gelato Beach and Noki Bay, then they're unmentioned in English guides. Japanese encyclopedia refers to them as 「きのめマニア」 or "Leaf Bud Mania(c)" and 「母親マーレ」 or "Mother Mare" on page 101. LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:21, June 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * In PP, the Buckies are always with the conch guy, can't remember if they appear with him at the Gelato Beach race (where he appears at the end). Since I'm home for the summer, I may check. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:23, June 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * Man, that sucks on the fact that they rarely use "Hiragana above Kanji", for non-Kanji readers, especially me Then what are we going to do with them if they have an english name in the encyclopedia? -- 02:09, June 8, 2019 (EDT)
 * Personally I don't know if the Dune Bud guy deserves an article, since the game itself gives him no more importance than any other Noki. The Buckies are at least a game-named group, and the mother looks unique. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:11, June 8, 2019 (EDT)
 * What about the conch-playing ones? -- 04:27, June 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * The conch-playing individual has a unique design, but at the same time he's used to represent the Nokis in both the manual and the in-game map. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:20, June 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * That says, i wonder wether the Buckies should have their own articles, or all merged in one page... -- 09:30, June 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * If the encyclopedia gives the Mommy Noki a name, then what are we going to do with it? We can't cite the encyclopedia. -- 07:38, June 14, 2019 (EDT)
