Talk:Porcupuffer

Main Picture
Hey I fond this real Porcu-Puffer artwork. Would you rather have a sprite for the main picture or artwork for the main picture?

OR


 * It would be great if there was not a background. Anyway, I recommend you try putting that up and see how things turn out.

I actually found a Porcu-Puffer card and cut out the Porcu-puffer image.
 * Hm, looks good on that infobox ;)

Cheep Cheeps?
Any proof these are actually related to Cheep Cheeps? Binarystep (talk) 20:22, 30 March 2015 (EDT)
 * They look like them. That's the most proof you will get 21:57, 31 March 2015 (EDT)
 * So do most Mario series fish. Binarystep (talk) 04:28, 1 April 2015 (EDT)

Decide if Porcupuffers are Cheep Cheeps
The wiki lists Porcupuffers as being Cheep Cheeps, even though no foreign names even hint at them being so, no official media (to my knowledge) calls them Cheep Cheeps, and our only proof is that they look similar, even though it's obvious it's just the Mario way of depicting fish.

Porcupuffers aren't Cheep Cheeps

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) Per Binarystep.
 * 3) Per All.

It's hard to say, but I don't know if they are or not. I'm going to think about it before I vote. They are similar in some ways. ShyGuy8 (talk|contribs) ( Just a Shy Guy who loves Mario... ) 14:57, 2 June 2015 (EDT)
 * Having similar appearances is not enough to relate the two of them, as explained by Binary. Unless you'd like to start referring to all of those fish as Cheep Cheeps?
 * You've got a point there. I don't want to refer all fish as Cheep Cheeps, but I guess I will vote that they are'nt.

Okay, so the line between "random fish" and Cheep-Cheep-like is a bit blurry, but these bear an extremely close resemblance to Cheep-Cheep. Their eye shape is the same, their body shape is the same, their mouth shape is similar, and their fin shape is similar enough. The only difference is that Porcupuffer is much fatter and has spikes on its back.

As for your examples, BinaryStep, Rip Van Fish is categorized under Cheep Cheep and it does strongly resemble a Cheep-Cheep. Loch Nestor has little resemblance to a Cheep-Cheep (its eyes mostly; the rest of its features aren't notable enough, but it could squeak as a derivative Cheep Cheep species). Finally, Spray Fish looks nothing like a Cheep-Cheep from drastically different body shape, eye shape, mouth shape, and that minor, but still notable blush mark.

That Bandit proposal has now gotten me concerned if we're going to split other extremely similar, but different enemies simply because of those differences. 20:48, 3 June 2015 (EDT)
