== New Play Control! differences? == | |||
I was playing [[Sniper Room]] some days ago when I observed an interesting fact: Pikmin which '''are in your squadron do not die'''. Is this also true for the GameCube version, or is it a modification/change? {{User:RandomYoshi/sig}} 10:56, October 31, 2011 (UTC) | |||

== Japanese Name == | |||
Current interpretation of "タマコキン" is "Ball Child Goldfish", but I think the interpretation of "タマ(玉, ball)" is wrong. | |||
There are many words which have same "タマ" pronunciation. | |||
* 玉: Ball | |||
* 弾: Bullet, or "エネルギー弾(energy projectile)" | |||
* 珠: Orb | |||
* 球: Sphere, but it usually pronounce as "キュウ", so this is definitely inappropriate. | |||
According to this, I suggest "タマ(弾, bullet)", cause Gatling Groink is the enemy which spreads energy projectiles. | |||

:Agreed. That sounds more likely. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:57, March 10, 2021 (EST) | |||
::Could "タマコキン" also be a word play of "きんたま"? If you consider this then the word '''Groin'''k finally has some meaning. I didn't add this information because I wasn't sure of it but if you agree then this could be added to the main page to explain the English name. Perhaps the k in Groink comes from the コ that the translators didn't know where to add. --[[User:Nvortex|Nvortex]] ([[User talk:Nvortex|talk]]) 19:13, March 12, 2021 (EST) | |||
:::That can be, but not as obvious as [[Jellyfloat family]] nor even [[Meat Satchel]]. If there's more native Japanese editors, I wanna discuss... -[[User:PortableSunset|PortableSunset]] ([[User talk:PortableSunset|talk]]) 21:42, March 12, 2021 (EST) | |||
::::Very interesting, thank you so much for this input. I am absolutely no authority on Japanese but I've added it anyway as it's certainly less of a reach than the oink explanation I came up with. Even if it turns out not to work at least we increase the chance of someone catching it I guess?.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}} 19:53, March 28, 2021 (EDT) | |||
