The (common) Japanese name of these definitely does not "literally [translate] to 'spotted crimson bug-eye'" (they are called アカチャッピー, red Chappy, as the Japanese Pikmin 2 website confirms). I'm not sure what the Brawl trophy is referring to there; the scientific name in the Japanese version, maybe? Can someone research this and clarify it (at least in the trivia section, where this statement is referenced)?--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 15:23, 28 July 2013 (EDT) | The (common) Japanese name of these definitely does not "literally [translate] to 'spotted crimson bug-eye'" (they are called アカチャッピー, red Chappy, as the Japanese Pikmin 2 website confirms).

==Spotty Bulborb name== | |||
Right now, the "Bulborb" name is explained on the grub-dog family article, while the "Spotty" in "Spotty Bulborb" is explained here. But it seems to me like "Spotty Bulborb" was originally intended simply as a localization of the Japanese name {{j|デメマダラ|Deme Madara}}, where "Spotty" is referring to their spots ({{j|マダラ|Madara}}) and "Bulborb" to their eyes ({{j|デメ|Deme}}), so maybe the whole name could be covered in one place?

:It still makes sense to document the meaning of "Bulborb" in the grub-dog family article, since tons of other articles need to make use of that information. However, if you think it helps to explain the meaning of "Bulborb" in this article too, for the sake of explaining that localization of "Spotty", then you can have the explanation here as well. So keep the family one for general usage, and write a condensed version for the sake of context in this article. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:54, April 9, 2022 (EDT) | |||
==Grab-dog family== | |||
The Nintendo player guide thing mentioned the grab-dog family... is this a mistake or another family? ~~[[User:Aostrele|Aostrele]] how do you sign off 4:03, 4 September 2023 (GMT) | |||
:From what i know, The "Grab-dog" family isn't mentioned anywhere else. It's probably just a mistake. [[User:GoldPikmin|GoldPikmin]] ([[User talk:GoldPikmin|talk]]) 16:44, September 17, 2023 (EDT) | |||
==Enemy Layout== | |||
Do we need to have a certain layout for the contents of an enemy page in general? As in [[Stats -> Behavior -> Biology -> Stats...]] as right now each enemy is arranged in a random assortment such as, the Bulborb having Notes at (7) and Behaviour at (2) and the Spotty Bulbear has Notes as (2) and Behavior at (3). Or is it fine as it is? — [[User:Chazmatron|Chazmatron]] ([[User talk:Chazmatron|talk]]) 14:59, October 20, 2022 (BST) | |||
:The [[P:ENEMY|enemy article guidelines]] contain a recommend section ordering, and there's also an [[P:SO|ordering of common sections guideline]] for sections near the end of the article. — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 17:16, October 20, 2023 (EDT) | |||

Maybe the name of the bulborbs come from olimar's dog named bulbie? [[User:QuillX|QuillX]] ([[User talk:QuillX|talk]]) | |||
:Yep, i'm pretty sure this is mentioned in pikmin 3 somewhere. Olimar isn't very creative when it comes to names. [[User:GoldPikmin|GoldPikmin]] ([[User talk:GoldPikmin|talk]]) 09:53, December 10, 2023 (EST) | |||
