Talk:Pokey (toy)

Shouldn't this information just be on the standard Pokey page? 69.250.130.180 15:25, 11 August 2016 (EDT)

Yeah. I think it should. There may be a disagreement. A proposal show do it. Since 69.250.130.180 is not an user, I want to see some else put down something before I create a proposal. Yoshi the Space Station Manager (talk) 15:37, 11 August 2016 (EDT)

They have the unique ability of turning into blocks, distinguishing themselves from regular Pokeys. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 15:39, 11 August 2016 (EDT)

Yeah, their actions and characteristics are different from regular Pokeys, much like the other "Mini" versions of characters. I don't think it should. 15:42, 11 August 2016 (EDT)

They only turn into blocks when they encounter Pokey Blocks. These blocks only appear in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. I feel like a proposal is necessary. Why? Even if this doesn't get merge with Pokeys, the title should be changed. I will clarify in the proposal. Yoshi the Space Station Manager (talk) 16:16, August 2016 (EDT)

This pokey looks like and does most things like other Pokeys. I am proposing to merge this with Pokeys. The ability that it has can be addressed.

However. Some of you may not want to merge it. For those who don't want the first to happen, I propose that this article should be changed to Pokey (toy) since it is in more than just Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!. It will be just like Mini Mario (toy). These two proposals will run together as one.

Merge

1. Yoshi the Space Station Manager (talk) Per merge proposal.

Oppose

1. Alex95 (talk) As I stated above, I don't think a merge is necessary. They functioned differently from each other and aren't the same thing; one's a living being (in a game, anyway) and the other is a toy. Also, the name doesn't need to be changed either, as the wiki usually uses the name of the game to clarify between two different things or beings with different characteristics. See Wiggler and Wiggler (Super Mario Sunshine) as an example.

Comments

The Wiggler in Super Mario Sunshine has one appearance. Mini Mario (toy) has only appear in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series) except for an a Mario vs. Donkey Kong segment. This pokey also appeared only in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. This is why I want to rename it Pokey (toy). Yoshi the Space Station Manager (talk) 17:11, 11 August (EDT)

In reference to Alex95, I think the SMS Wiggler is a different case in that it has a different Japanese name. New enemy behaviors, like the MvDK Pokey filling in Pokey blocks, don't justify separate articles. Is it really a toy Pokey though? I'd understand separate articles if that was the case, but I can't see anything like a wind-up key on it in the (low quality) screenshot, and its name doesn't suggest it to be a toy like mini/mecha shy guys. It'd be fair to assume it's a toy, since it does come from the MvDK series, but I don't think assumptions are considered proof here no matter how logical they are. 69.250.130.180 17:51, 11 August 2016 (EDT)

This article does need a move, especially seeing as it also appears in Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars, meaning that the title is no longer relevant to one game. In Tipping Stars, Pokeys have wind-up keys just like the toy Mini-Marios, so I suppose that I support the move towards (toy), however I'm not sure if (Mario Vs. Donkey Kong) would be a better move. - 08:35, 12 August 2016 (EDT)
