Editing Talk:R.O.B.

how to you unlock him? That should be added!

==Category:Controllers==
He is a controller, but the category itself is not required, as he can't be used for smash, like every other page in the category. Is this required?<font face="sand">[[User:Qwerty|<font color="#04FE6D">Qwerty</font>]] [[User talk:Qwerty|<font color="#66CC2A">the</font>]] [[Special:Logout|<font color="#08CFCC">lord</font>]]</font> [[File:Nessytrewq.jpg|16px]] 01:18, 10 July 2014 (EDT)

==Gender==
Does ROB even have a gender, being a robot and all? [[User:Harro|👾Harro👾]] ([[User talk:Harro|talk]]) 05:28, 28 July 2014 (EDT)
:[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/characters/hidden07.html The DOJO] and his trophy in-game use masculine pronouns.

== Gender ==

Is the pronouns thing really a good reason to claim that he's male? Lucario's been called male but we go with genderless. Heck, Pikachu has evidence of being male, but we still go with genderless. Robots don't have genders. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]]. Or maybe [[User:Nutta Butta|Nutta.]] </small>  13:42, 24 May 2015 (EDT)
:Unless you're prepared to claim that Mega Man is also genderless, the robot claim is silly argument to make. Pokemon are referred to by gender-neutral pronouns in Smash stuff consistently with only one exception, as opposed to R.O.B. who frequently gets male pronouns.

::It was my understanding that Mega Man is more of a cyborg, a human who was given robot parts. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]]. Or maybe [[User:Nutta Butta|Nutta.]] </small>  13:55, 24 May 2015 (EDT)
:::The original Mega Man (the one this article is about) is not a cyborg, just a robot who strongly resembles a human. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 14:03, 24 May 2015 (EDT)
::::Hmmm okay. Still, technically Mega Man is genderless, but is designed as if he were male. It's impossible to give a robot a gender. There's this certain, uh, requirement that doesn't work very well with metal. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]].

:::::::Okay let's keep this here as opposed to my talk page: biological sex and gender are not synonymous, and a robot's ability to be identified as male or female is not related to whether the robot is biological. Mega Man and Roll are prime examples of this. R.O.B. is always referred to with male pronouns. I don't see how this is arguable.

:::::::::Ugh, don't bring that debate here, it has nothing to do with the situation.  

:::::::::Nintendo refers to him as male, he has only very rarely been referred using a neutral pronoun, Unlike Lucario, who has only been referred to as Male once, but genderless a bunch of other times. He was a robot designed to be male, technically speaking, he's genderless, but he is "male." It's like when a kid names their pet rock "Leo" or something. Or when someone makes an A.I. that's based on a human (see GLaDos or HAL) [[User:Laikue|Laikue]] ([[User talk:Laikue|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Laikue|contribs]]) 16:12, 24 May 2015 (EDT)

==R.O.B as a Fighter==

Why was R.O.B. allowed to be a Smash fighter if he has ''no stages'' in any game, only one of his Special Moves has a true origin, and he has ''one'' music track? He has barely any source material to draw from in Smash, especially because he didn't properly debut in the games he can play. --[[User:Dogleader|Dogleader]] ([[User talk:Dogleader|talk]]) 09:21, January 3, 2021 (EST)

==Doesn't StarTropics count as ROB's first game appearance?==

Or does it not because that was "Nav-Com", not "ROB"?

:Nav-Com resembles R.O.B. but isn't definitively him, whereas the Kirby's Dream Land 3 cameo leaves no ambiguity.
