Talk:Poltergeist

Telekinetic?
what does telekinetic mean? unless it means: possesses things, it should be changed. a poltergeist throws, moved and just enchants objects by possessing them. 109.145.44.126 11:40, 2 March 2013 (EST)
 * Telekinesis is the ability to move things using psychic powers 17:04, 2 March 2013

possession doesn't sound like physics, we must/should change it so it is correct. 109.145.44.126 12:37, 2 March 2013 (EST)
 * I said psychic, not physics the article is fine and doesn't need to be changed

A: what does psychic mean and B: it isn't fine as it is, it is incorrect and possibly a speculation. 109.145.44.126 12:58, 3 March 2013 (EST)
 * Psychic is used to describe someone with psychic powers i.e. seeing into the future or moving objects without touching them, also there is a such a thing as a dictionary which can be used to look up words. Besides I've seen trailers where the Poltergeist uses telekinesis, another word for psychic powers, to attack Luigi.

No longer a Boss?
Turns out there are 3 Poltergeist in the Gloomy Manor from this. Does this mean its no longer a boss as there's 3 of them. Also the mission has been fully changed including the rooms Luigi visits. A major re-write is needed as well. - Cubegy
 * Poltergesit is a sub-boss, not a boss (although it's a boss in Scarescaper). There can be more of the same sub-boss; just look at the Kirby games. We'll probably have to rewrite the description of the rooms, though. 21:57, 21 March 2013 (EDT)

I don't know why i am saying this, but the boss is called the brain, we might need to make a page about itRobecuba (talk) 10:44, 31 March 2013 (EDT)

PAL name
I have just been looking at the English website, and it calls this enemy a Boffin. I was just wondering if I could add that on. &#39;&#39;Smoke me a kipper, I&#39;ll be back for breakfast&#39;&#39; - Rimmer (talk) 16:33, 26 March 2013 (EDT)
 * Go ahead. Binarystep (talk) 20:46, 26 March 2013 (EDT)

It is still called a Poltergiest, though E.gadd refers them to as Boffin's in game, this is only for the Ancient & Super Poltergiest, so it is incorrect. Also they are called Poltergiests in the ghost vault and E.gadd refers to them as poltergiests when first encontered as well. - Cubeguy(talk)

The PAL name is indeed Boffin, and the other two are called Boffin Elder and Strong Boffin. Bowser the Second (talk) 02:19, 3 April 2013 (EDT)


 * I have the PAL version and it says Poltergiest in the vault, and E.Gadd also calls each one a poltergiest and uses boffin as some sort of nick name in game as i have stated. - Cubeguy2ver.pnguy(talk)


 * That's strange, I have the PAL version and it says Boffin. &#39;&#39;Smoke me a kipper, I&#39;ll be back for breakfast&#39;&#39; - Rimmer (talk) 13:00, 13 April 2013 (EDT)

The Brains health conundrum
I cant say for anyone else but iv encountered the brain with more than 300HP, iv found this on harder difficulties espically, but has anyone else encountered this? - Cubeguy(talk)
 * On expert mode, i found one with 800 HP Pokebub (talk) 17:00, 20 April 2013 (EDT)

About the linking
Link only once for one article. Only 1 luigi is necessary.
 * "If you see an easily corrected mistake, don't just mention it on the talk page: fix it!" You can remove the link easily yourself. It's not even semi-protected. 12:14, 3 April 2013 (EDT)

The Brain
We should give The Brain it's own article.
 * I htink it should have it's own article. Pokebub (talk) 16:59, 20 April 2013 (EDT)

Me too. it already has a picture.

Make a seperate article for "The Brain"
Proposer: Deadline: May 16th 2013, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) He has a lot more health than a regular poltergeist, more big, is a boss, and a lot more differences than a regular poltergeist.

Oppose

 * 1) I'm afraid I'll have to oppose this. There has been a proposal on the ScareScraper where the recolors of the main five you encounter which is now settled.
 * 2) The proposer did not give ANY REASON AT ALL for making this page, so until they find any reason for it to be split, I'm staying on the oppose side.
 * 3) Per all. Also, both support votes are invalid.
 * 4) The article is fine the way it is. The Brain is just a larger version of Poltergeists with the ability to make a shockwave. That's it. We don't need a separate article for it since that is just redundant.

Comments
@King Pikante: I think it's above the actual proposal.

@supporters: Not making any reason at all to oppose invalidates your vote. Please add a reason before an administrator removes it.

@A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros.: The Brain isn't a recolor of the poltergeist though. Pokebub (talk)

RE: The Brain
It's likely no one has voted for this because you did not style it properly. Someone will fix this. -- 10:40, 5 May 2013 (EDT) :/
