Talk:Poltergust G-00

Move to Poltergust G-00

As with Grand Star and Fire Arrow, we should be up to date. Lou Cena (talk) 18:42, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

Weak oppose I think it is fine at it's current location. We aren't official. White Lightning 18:36, May 28, 2019 (EDT)

Since SmashWiki is not official, why not just call it Poltergust? That's what 99% of people call all of the vacuums anyway and that way it covers both variations and any other future variations. TheNuttyOne 23:34, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

Poltergust is the generic name of the line of vacuums. Renaming it to the most up-to-date name, in line with Grand Star and Fire Arrow, is not a bad option. On that note, we should also move Beast Ganon to Ganon, The Demon King. Aidan, the Rurouni 23:42, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

Beast Ganon and Power Star were both moved. This one has a little bit of opposition (hammer shouldn’t move yet because the template has been up for 15 minutes, so if anybody else wants to voice their support, speak now. Lou Cena (talk) 14:11, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

If we a renaming it, it possibly could be Poltergust, seeing as they are both called that. However, Luigi also uses the "Poltergust G-00" as part of his grab in Ultimate, so it might be better to keep it as "Poltergust 5000" on both accounts. Wolff (talk) 19:29, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

Unless it was renamed to "Poltergust (Final Smash)" to avoid confusion with Luigi using the "Poltergust G-00" as a grab. Wolff (talk) 19:31, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

I fail to see what good that will do, when we can just mention on the page that it's also his grab. We don't need a separate page for a grab when it's the same thing being used. Aidan, the Rurouni 19:35, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

Then what happens to the name of the page then? Wolff (talk) 19:36, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

I think my preference would be just "Poltergust", but that'd require a bit of link rerouting, as it's already a disambiguation page. ~ Serena Strawberry (talk) 19:38, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

I suppose that is true. I would say the same thing about Ganon, but oh well. Wolff (talk) 19:44, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

Ganon has more of a problem being a boss and a Final Smash, so keeping it at "Ganon" while the FS is "Ganon, the Demon King" is fine, I think. ~ Serena Strawberry (talk) 20:07, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

I agree renaming Poltergust, because their names are the same in Japanese. But I have a question, the Poltergust G-00 also in Luigi's grab, so maybe it should have a separate page.--Capstalker (talk) 02:39, June 26, 2019 (EDT)

It'd probably be fine to just have it be separate sections on this page. One segment for the "Final Smash" usage, and one segment for "as a moveset element". ~ Serena Strawberry (talk) 02:45, June 26, 2019 (EDT)

Bumping. Lou Cena (talk) 00:35, July 1, 2019 (EDT)

Move it to either Poltergust or Poltergust G-00. - EndGenuity (talk) 22:03, July 6, 2019 (EDT)

Since a move just failed, I might as well bump this again and say strong support. I know the easy argument is that "SmashWiki isn't official", but that is no reason why we shouldn't use the name that Nintendo gives us. We should use the most recent name, regardless of what inconveniences it brings up with it "being too long" or "too specific". There's a reason why the name was changed and our articles should reflect the most recent name. Redirects still exist. KungFuLakitu, Spiny Overlord 14:09, July 10, 2019 (EDT)

Currently the most popular decision is actually to move it to just "Poltergust", which is why the attempted move was invalid. Incidentally I think moving it to just Poltergust is probably the better option. Alex the Jigglypuff trainer 14:12, July 10, 2019 (EDT)

What good will giving it a generic name do? In fact, we tend to avoid generic names - why else would Mega Lucario and Mega Charizard X be different pages? We should move it to Poltergust G-00, but not "Poltergust". Aidan, the Rurouni 20:58, July 11, 2019 (EDT)
