So I noticed that starting from ''Pikmin 3'', the Red Bulborb has been just called "Bulborb". It is written this way in the most recent smash games, and ''Hey! Pikmin''. This is probably because it is known as the "normal" Bulborb. So maybe we should update the name of the article, and the Dwarf Red Bulborb article too? This seems to have happened before, like with the Armored Cannon Beetle Larva being shortened to the Armored Cannon Larva, and even this page itself has had a name change to the current "Red Bulborb". Although this name is more convenient and easier to classify, it technically is not the most recent/updated name. So I think we should change it to simply "Bulborb". There is already a disambiguation page for Bulborbs, so it might not be too confusing. However, the many times the name is mentioned in other articles will be inaccurate, which would make things more messy. I still think that we should do this, but I'm not quite sure if its necessary. | So I noticed that starting from ''Pikmin 3'', the Red Bulborb has been just called "Bulborb".

:I've thought of that too. I agree it should be renamed to "Bulborb"...even if that will generate a lot of confusion. However, we should wait until we get the next Pikmin game, which should be around the corner, given all the interviews, rumors, and what have you. If the next game calls it "Red Bulborb" again, then we'll be glad we haven't changed anything. If it, however, keeps the "Bulborb" name, then we might as well go all the way and standardize the name everywhere. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:35, 16 February 2019 (EST) | :I've thought of that too.

:No. Because people will confuse this page with the page about it's family. Anyways Bulborb is a term that could be used for any type of Bulborb. -Green Shy Guy 54 11/25/2019. 5:20 PM | :No. Because people will confuse this page with the page about it's family.

I think the name of the article should stay as "Red Bulborb" to differentiate it from other bulborbs. I'm fully aware that more recent games simply name them "Bulborb", but it's much too generic a name for my liking. The same logic, of course, also applies to dwarf red bulborbs and their breadbug brethren. [[User:Cheepy|Cheepy]] ([[User talk:Cheepy|talk]]) 00:36, February 23, 2020 (EST) | |||

Exactly Cheepy. That is like calling a Holstein cow a cow. {{unsigned|Green Shy Guy 54}} | |||
::Agreed, though we should wait until the game releases. We shouldn't base ourselves off of unreleased content, and we don't even know if names will change between the US and European versions... Nintendo loves doing that. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 09:49, September 13, 2020 (EDT) | ::Agreed, though we should wait until the game releases.
