There has been a translation inconsistency in English concerning the Piranha Plant variants in Paper Mario: TTYD. This enemy, which was named Pale Piranha in the English version, was just known as "Pakkun Flower", i.e. Piranha Plant, in the original Japanese version, and subsequently in all translated versions except English.

On the other hand, the enemy simply known as "Piranha Plant" that later appears in the Pit of 100 Trials was known as "Killer Pakkun" in the Japanese version, and subsequently according names in all translated versions except English.

It is apparent to me that there has been a mix-up in the English version and that "Pale Piranha" is a mistaken name for what should just be called Piranha Plant. On the other hand, I will separately propose that the "Killer Pakun" is split from the Piranha Plant article to a new page "Piranha Plant (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)".

Merge

1. Cobold (talk) - For the same reasons that Yo'ster Isle will be merged with Yoshi's Island.
2. KS3 (talk) Looks like the English have trouble translating.
3. Vellidragon (talk) - Everything else is being merged/split based on the Japanese name, so this should too.
4. Grandy02 (talk) - Per all, the creators intended it to be a differently coloured regular Piranha Plant, which is also reflected by non-English localisations.
5. Walkazo (talk) - Per all.
6. Mr.C (talk) - Per All.
