Talk:Kyodai Togemetto

Species

So, the article is calling this a Spiny due to it having multiple spikes on its shell and its minions (according to the article, at least) being identified as Spinies. However, its name means "Giant Spike Top," so it seems to me more likely that there being more than one spike has more to do with it being depicted as more monstrous than a normal Spike Top rather than not being a Spike Top itself - especially since from what I can tell Spike Tops in general at that point were designed simply as a mixture of Buzzy and Spiny traits without either taking priority.

I'd say we should consider it a Spike Top, whilst we still give a mention to its resemblance to a Spiny. -- FanOfYoshi at 02:53, November 29, 2023 (EST)

Well, the stage it appears, is the one full of trapped Spinies, tho... yeah, could mean nothing in the long run, but it is a factor to consider... Mariuigi Khed 03:18, November 29, 2023 (EST)

Off-topic, but shouldn't we rename this to "Kyodai Togemet", given how "Met" is the official romanization of Buzzy Beetle's Japanese name (and Spike Top was romanized as Togemet). -- FanOfYoshi at 16:50, December 1, 2023 (EST)

There's no hard rule on using official transliterations over Hepburn romanizations, but I'd support both changing this to Togemet and labeling it as one. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:43, March 17, 2025 (EDT)
