Talk:Sky-Blue Spiny

How are these Buzzy Beetles? Yes, the German name calls them that, but it's likely metaphorical (compare the Japanese name of Incoming Chomp), and nothing else backs up this claim. Binarystep (talk) 01:07, 13 May 2015 (EDT)

Yeah, I don't think they are Buzzy Beetles either. Just because the German name says it does... That doesn't mean they are. Like for example: Cloudtop Cruise says Sky Garden in its Japanese name, but it's not really Sky Garden. I agree with you, Binarystep. 01:31, 13 May 2015 (EDT)

"They highly resemble Spinies, except instead of red, their shells are blue. This gives them a resemblance to Buzzy Beetles, so much so that the German version of the game refers to them as "Käfer-Stachis", meaning "Buzzy Beetle Spinies". However, they lack the usual qualities of Buzzy Beetles, such as resilience to fire."

This Paragraph talks about the resemblance to it being a Buzzy Beetle. It just looks like one, its actually not. 01:40, 13 May 2015 (EDT)

Stop Calling These Buzzy Beetles
For some reason, Sky-Blue Spinies are considered derivatives of Buzzy Beetles, despite the only evidence of that being the German localization. Considering the lack of, well, just about anything else tying these to Buzzy Beetles in any way, I think we should stop calling them related.

(Not 100% sure that this needs a proposal, but doing this just to be safe.)

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.

Oppose

 * 1) The references needs to stay because of the German name. It is like a Spiny and a Buzzy Beetle from the game married and had a baby. It has the properties of Spinies but the shell of a Buzzy Beetle (only with spikes). There is no need to get rid of the references.

Comments
@Yoshi the Space Station Manager: That's the thing, it doesn't have "the shell of a Buzzy Beetle". It's functionally the same as a Spiny, just with higher stats and a palette swap. The German name is the only reason to assume this has anything to do with Buzzy Beetles. Niiue (talk) 00:43, 27 August 2016 (EDT)
