Official Name

I don't know if you guys noticed this, but the "official" name for Captain Olimar is Pikmin & Olimar. They're not separate characters (we know because Sakurai writes that Olimar is useless without them), but we have separate articles. I think this would be okay if we had an article for Nana and another for Popo, but we don't; we just have one for Ice Climbers. So... merge? Stumpers! 22:01, 9 January 2008 (EST)

Well, the Pikmin are necessary to survive, and do more for Olimar than Nana does for Popo (you can survive without Nana). The Pikmin allow Olimar to use many attacks, whereas Popo can do basically all his moves without Nana. So, the Pikmin have more importance to Olimar than Nana does to Popo. At least, in my honest opinion. My Bloody Valentine

I think we should stick to one article for now and consider splitting them later when new info comes in.Knife (talk) 22:10, 9 January 2008 (EST)

Well, the Ice Climbers are incredibly similar to each other, while Captain O. is next to nothing like the Pikmin. Also, if you check the DOJO!! today, Sakurai does indeed refer to the captain as "Captain Olimar", so we can call him this. NMRodo

Sounds good to me. Especially now that we know that there are five different Pikmin, it is definitely worthy of its own article (just don't make an article for every Pikmin color). One thing though: we should remove SSBB template on the Pikmin page since they aren't the ones who are actually fighting with movesets (and they also don't have a unique entrance I assume).Knife (talk) 18:58, 11 January 2008 (EST)

Sounds perfect. And then, if in the final version of Smash Bros. the fighter is called Pikmin & Olimar, we can move this page how 'bout? Or a redirect to this page from there? Btw, I didn't know there would be such a difference in Pikmin until today, so... oops. We have an article for Vegetable, so really... consistency says we should keep Pikmin. Yay!
