Talk:Polterpiranha

Name
For future reference, neither the Player's Guide nor the Prima Games guide ever mention this enemy, either by name or by an offhand remark.
 * The North American version of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U refers to the "Ghost" variety of Piranha Plant. Sure enough, in the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Yūrei Pakkun is listed instead. While a few types actually differ, this seems to be the same thing. The only thing is that the full names aren't mentioned here like the PAL version (which doesn't include it), so it would be considered "Ghost (Piranha Plant)" rather than Ghost Piranha Plant or Ghost Piranha. Alternatively, I think the article could be titled "Ghost Piranha" with a "part conjecture" tag. LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:07, 29 August 2017 (EDT)
 * "Ghost Piranha" or "Ghost Piranha Plant" with the part conjecture tag sounds good to me. 17:11, 29 August 2017 (EDT)
 * The part conjecture is for articles covering some content that has definitely received an official name and some content that has not received a name but is close enough to the other content that it gets grouped in anyways (see: Frog). It isn't for names that are themselves conjectural, whether in whole or in part. 17:17, 29 August 2017 (EDT)
 * What about Pump Mario? LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:20, 29 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Do we know that the trophy is referring to this enemy specifically? 17:22, 29 August 2017 (EDT)


 * The description for the template itself (since 2012) makes its purpose clear. An article using it incorrectly only means that it's using it incorrectly. 17:23, 29 August 2017 (EDT)
 * @Time Turner: So that means "Ghost (Piranha Plant)" should be the article title since that's unfortunately the only thing left go off on. Maybe something should be done about that other article.
 * @Alex95: The Piranha Plants mentioned in the trophy differ across three regions, with the North American, PAL and Japanese versions only having Naval, Fire and Bone in common. While there is a bit more to it than that, Ghost is more or less a direct translation of Yūrei, and no other type of Piranha Plant fits the bill. LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:45, 29 August 2017 (EDT)
