Talk:Yoshi

what's with the yossy redirect? i dont get it...--Simna ibn Sind 10:34, February 10, 2007 (GMT)

I think 'Yossy' is a Japanese transliteration or something. – Smiddle ( Talk • Conts ) 10:54, February 10, 2007 (GMT)

The Wikipedia article says it's Yosshi. – Smiddle ( Talk • Conts ) 10:56, February 10, 2007 (GMT)

Ah-HA! "sometimes spelt Yossy in Japanese"! – Smiddle ( Talk • Conts ) 10:56, February 10, 2007 (GMT)

i wonder about that sometimes in japanese bit....'sy' never occurs in japanese writing...--Simna ibn Sind 12:29, February 11, 2007 (GMT)

It wasn't me!

Someone completely erased the disambig thing copied DIRECTLY the Wikipedia artile and pasted it here! Don't worry, I'll fix it.

Hair colour?

The article says yoshi`s hair colour varies... but yoshi has no hair. He hath thy scales on the back of his head not Hair... It`sa--PK king (talk) 22:24, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

He had hair in PM2. Dazuro (talk) 05:38, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

The question is whether this article is about "the" Yoshi, or Yoshis as a species. If it's about "the" Yoshi, then he has no hair. If it's about Yoshis as a species, then it would vary (although very little; that Yoshi kid was an oddball anyway for being in a multicoloured egg). Toomai Glittershine The Table Designer 13:38, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, I am a Yoshi guy, and I know that for sure yoshi do not have hair otherwise this [1] would be artwork of "Hair" on hair.

You got PWN'D by Link

Why post here? There is nothing really much to say about here and this discussion is very old. ..... The Scientist 12:54, 28 May 2012 (EDT)

Why not?

You got PWN'D by Link

I already explained so this means that you should not post on discussions that are old and done with. ..... The Scientist 13:18, 28 May 2012 (EDT)

Male?

Isn't it technically female as it lays eggs? Anon 00:32, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Nope. Yoshi is officially male. BNK ^[E|T|C] 01:24, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

This isn't exactly within the realm of this wiki, but there are tons of Mario sites that debate on things such as Yoshi biology, such as where the wings come from and how strong their legs have to be to flutter. One of the common threads is the egg thing, which in my opinion can be explained as "both genders lay eggs but only the females can lay eggs with babies in them". Besides, Yoshis are shown being able to instantly produce eggs from anything (as well as out of nowhere) - that's not normal egg behaviour in the first place (which would be reproduction), so we can't assume any of our normal preconceptions (that is, laying eggs = female) should apply. Toomai Glittershine 01:36, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

No, but there are images of Yoshi producing eggs that hatch into other Yoshis (such as the SSB intro). As such, I think we should remove where it says in it's infobox that it's male. We can keep the male pronoun usage, as it acts in a masculine manner, but the infobox is supposed to have accurate information, and saying that it's male isn't exactly accurate. I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but I'm just expressing one of my points of concern. Anon 01:53, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Most websites refer to him as male. And Anon. Did you read what Toomai said? We can't use our preconceptions and apply them to Yoshi.--MegaTron1XD 01:58, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

No, we don't need to remove in the infobox where it says hes male, cuz Nintendo says hes male, and so should we. Doctor Pain 99 (CTE) 01:59, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

OK then. Sir Anon the great 02:14, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Yoshi on Easter

Do you think that Yoshi will be confirmed on Easter? --EpicWendigo (talk) 15:34, 3 April 2014 (EDT)

This isn't talk page material. In any case, I don't think Easter is a thing in Japan, so I'll say no. Toomai Glittershine The Yellow 16:26, 3 April 2014 (EDT)

Add a hidden warning on this page?

I heard many people keep adding that Yoshi is part of the Mario universe, which is not, because he technically belongs in the Yoshi universe. Is it fine for me to add that hidden warning that Yoshi isn't a Mario character in the series, and NOT adding the Mario universe-related info? Smugsamodas (talk) 10:52, 20 November 2015 (EST)

It's mainly been one vandal dicking with us. No one legitimately thinks that he's part of the Mario universe. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 11:02, 20 November 2015 (EST)

Crafted Yoshi

Should Yoshi's crafted form really be in his intobox? Is having a "Fighter Spirit" enough to warrant that? Wolff (talk) 23:38, May 9, 2019 (EDT)

When I first suggested to place certain alts in the infobox, it was initially meant only for those that took up half of the lt selection. For example, half of Link’s costumes are BoTW, while the other half are his classic clothes. Half of Isabelle’s are her winter outfit, half are her summer outfit. Half of Corrin is female, half of Corrin is male. Etcetera. However, those against my proposal stated some valid points that it would be too difficult to decide what’s major. So, I extended it to those that had fighter spirits in Ultimate. The “does it take up half and only half” part is especially invalid now that Joker’s Student alt is only two of his costumes despite having different artwork, so that can’t be the only qualifier. Tunic of the Wild Link, Winter Isabelle, and all of those from past games are odd exceptions, as none of them have spirits, but the “does it take up of their alts” thing remains true, especially in cases like Wario for Brawl. Lou Cena (talk) 10:47, May 10, 2019 (EDT)

I understand its included in the Ultimate Fighter Page as its an alt, but I'm not sure it make sense on the character's general page. Same goes for Pikachu Libre. Wolff (talk) 01:18, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

Also, should Mario and Isabelle have them as well? I feel Link's or Cloud's make more sense, I may be wrong on that one though. Wolff (talk) 01:18, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

Roy

This isn't really relevant to Yoshi specifically since this trivia point is probably on other characters' pages, but shouldn't Roy be in the trivia point about characters with content from upcoming games, since he didn't debut until after Melee came out? Also this is my first time using a talk page so sorry if I'm doing something wrong. Bandana Hewer Dee (talk) 11:06, December 18, 2020 (EST)
