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)
