 * The game's still new, so you can probably find the guide at most stores that sell games. If not, just order it online. Redstar 20:07, 26 December 2009 (EST)

Sub-species of Chain Chomp?
I know about the name Electro-Chomp, but if that has been taken from a Prima guide, are you sure it's real? Amps are never shown to chomp, a common trait for every Chain Chomp. Plus that they don't have teeth. Also, I've heard Prima called Spinies "Bugs" in their SMG2 guide, and Spinies are actually small turtles with a big, spiked shell. Plus, their Japanese name "ビリキュー" (Birilyū, electric ball) looks nothing like the Japanese name of Chain Chomp, "ワンワン" (Wanwan, Bark-Bark). If it really was a sub-species, then Amps could've been named "*whateverelectricyinJapanese*Wanwan", since every Chain Chomp we have a japanese name from, has in it's Japanese name "ワンワン" (Wanwan). Just like the Goomba's Kuribo and the Koopa's Nokonoko. This is just what I think about the Fire Chomp. Although Fire Chomps have teeth, They don't chomp, like real Chain Chomps. And their Japanese name doesn't contain "Wanwan".


 * Well if its name doesn't have wanwan in it and if it was said by Prima then its most likely false... -FourPaperHeroes 12:08, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

No matter how many errors Prima makes, it is still acknowledged by Nintendo as an official source of information. We can still assume Electro-Chomp is an error on their part and just mention that it was named as such in the Prima article.-- 15:46, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It was several months ago so I don't recall entirely, but I believe I added the bit about "Electro-Chomp" being an alternate name for Amp as a joke. It's not actually used in the guide. Redstar 03:40, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
