An in regards to the scientific name, them ignoring content from the ''Pikmin'' player's guide makes sense: we do the same thing. It was always very dubious canon since only a handful of examples crossed-over into ''Pikmin 2''. The various changes made in ''Pikmin 4'' lead me to believe (even if they considered it canon at the time), they no longer do. The only two we can't say that for are [[Goolix]] (who we only "know" is in the [[Goolix family]] cause it's named after him) and the Armored Cannon Beetle. -'''[[User:Bossclips|Bossclips]]''' | An in regards to the scientific name, them ignoring content from the ''Pikmin'' player's guide makes sense: we do the same thing.

:The "it looked like the one from Pikmin 1" interpretation is unlikely, because "adult Armored Cannon Beetles" is acting as a translation of 「ヤマトイシツツミの成虫」(adult [[Armored Cannon Larva|Yamatoishitsutsumi]]), which is specifically referring to an adult Armored Cannon (Beetle) Larva. If we accept that "adult <insert beetle name here>" is acting as a translation of "adult <insert beetle name here>", then Olimar is saying that the "Horned Cannon Beetle" was once mistaken for a grown up Armored Cannon Larva, referred to here as an Armored Cannon Beetle probably due to the contradiction in combining the words "adult" and "larva".

"Unlikely" isn't a confirmation. And again, you're using evidence from other languages. We're talking about the english canon. -'''[[User:Bossclips|Bossclips]]''' | |||
