Talk:Chap

I thought I'd say here that these two characters are probably better off on the same article because they're so similar (they're both minor Flip-Flop Folk from Super Paper Mario who even appear in the same town) and don't really have much notability even together, but if anyone disagrees I guess we'll see what happens.

Slim's counterpart (PAL version)

...is called Glim, not Chap. The guy in the bar is still called Chap. Avengah 13:59, 13 February 2010 (EST)

Seriously? I find this case ridiculous. Why would 2 characters that are from SPM and have the same name be merged? They don't affiliate with each other in any ways.

So, what will we call the two articles? I mean, we can't put (Flipside), since they're both in Flipside, nor can we put (Super Paper Mario), since they're both in SPM. --Reversinator 21:21, 11 June 2011 (EDT)

Will rename the one of the Chaps to Glim since one of they're names are that in the PAL version.--UM3000

But we use the first official english name, and the first one was Chap. Renaming it to Glim would be inconsistent. --Reversinator 22:36, 11 June 2011 (EDT)

The only other option would be to do it by color ones blue ones green Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

It may be inconsistent to rename it to Glim, but I think it was a mistake in the US version that they were both called Chap. Two different characters should not have had the same name, and it's a mistake that was corrected for the PAL release. Therefore, his name should have been Glim in the first place. If you look at it that way, it's not an inconsistency but a correction. Avengah 22:56, 11 June 2011 (EDT)

We don't know what Nintendo was thinking. We don't know if it was an error, or if it was intentional to confuse players. With a lack of knowledge, we can't change it to Glim, so right now I think what Goomba suggested is fine. --Reversinator 08:23, 12 June 2011 (EDT)

It probably was a mistake, but yeah, for consistency, we need to use the "Chap" names. Even in species where we split them based on having different names in other regions (and different appearances), they still use the first English name, but with different parentheses. I agree that calling one "Chap (green)" and the other "Chap (blue)" would work, but alternatively, their more specific location could be used: "Chap (second floor)" and "Chap (The Underwhere)". The latter seems more consistence with how we differentiate other things, but the former is just as clear about which is which (unless someone's got blue-yellow colour-blindness (a.k.a. tritanopia), but that's pretty rare). - Walkazo 15:05, 26 June 2011 (EDT)
