Talk:Pūko

Should Pūko be a Monty Mole, Rocky Wrench or both?
Pūko is shown to look like both a Monty Mole and Rocky Wrench so should they be both or one or the other?

Option 1: Pūko is both a Monty Mole and Rocky Wrench

 * 1) Since she is shown to look like a Monty Mole and a Rocky Wrench it is possible that she is both.

Option 2: Pūko is only a Monty Mole and not a Rocky Wrench

 * 1) Apparently this was confirmed by Mario jc.
 * 2) Per Swallow, the confirmation is on your talk page Monty.
 * 3) Per all.
 * 4) Per my comment here; she mentions the festival-goers being Monty Moles and lends Mario a suit "passed down for generations in the Monty Mole family."
 * 5) Per Mario jc.
 * 6) Per all, she hardly even looks like a Rocky Wrench.

Option 3: Pūko is only a Rocky Wrench and not a Monty Mole

 * 1) Is Pūko, not Choropūko. It's not like the goggles are an anatomical part of them.

Hey Doc von Schmeltwick how you worded your point sounded weird and confusing. Mind explaining what you meant? MontyMoleLoreMaster (talk) 20:00, October 21, 2021 (EDT)

@Doc von Schmeltwick The "Pū" in her name can be short for "Choropū", similar to the other AKG48 members, e.g. "Kuri" (from "Kuribō") in "Kurimina", a Goomba, and "Fugu" (from "Fugumannen") in "Fugumayuyu", a Porcupuffer. 20:56, October 21, 2021 (EDT)

Also the fact that the name Choropūko was already used for another female Monty Mole in a earlier volume. She is probably named Pūko because they didn’t want to copy off another name and to confuse the continuity. Also I have a small theory that she had those Rocky Wrench goggles in the earlier chapter for the photo to use as a cosplay or something. MontyMoleLoreMaster (talk) 22:27, October 21, 2021 (EDT)

@Mario jc What's the word used for "family" in that quote? If it's 「ー族 」 (ichizoku) like Turtle Tribe, I'd probably use "clan" as a closer translation. If that's the case, maybe Super Mario-kun considers Rocky Wrench to be a variant of Monty Mole by this point, like the related Morty Mole that shows up? (Note that I think the current classification is fine if true because of it historically being the other way around.) LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:10, October 22, 2021 (EDT)
