Naming the Smaahville balloon is dumb.

Let's name something alive.

An argument could be made that naming is pointless because, if I'm not wrong, he just tells when Randy is coming, but I think we should name him.

Yes, naming the Smashville balloon is dumb as it is not alive.

No, the thing on Yoshi's Island that pops up to save you is NOT named Randy (Though I have heard people call him Stanley before). That is the cloud on Yoshi's Story.

You may now carry on as before.

EDIT: The thing on Yoshi's Island does not have a definite name. Some call it Randy, I call in Stanley, and others call it by other names.

If I see a thread like this one more time, I'm reporting it.

I hate sounding like a party pooper, but no one gives a ****. Stop trying to force the next "Randall" and name it whatever you want.

I have an idea. Let a name come to him naturally so we don't force something that people will end up disliking.

Excuse me as I go face palm repeatedly until my hand bleeds. It's been a long, college class filled week. Forgive my inability to read and comprehend.

It's not really disrupting anything, and it's not like the board is flooded with these topics. I don't see the problem in having some fun with it.

Randall's name is non-canon and was coined by a Smash player. I don't see what's wrong with coming up with our own names, so long as they're not completely random (not sure how we came to agree on Randall's, but I'm sure there had to be some sort of a sensible back-story lol)

In the game Yoshi's Story, Shy Guys often vocalized their Japanese name Heihō (not sure how that's pronounce lol). In Japanese, 'White Shy Guy' is Shiro Heihō, with Shiro presumably meaning white. "Whitey" and the like seem like they could lead to some weird racial tensions down the line, and might draw some misunderstood criticism from outside of the community. Why not go with Shiro, or some play on Shiro Heihō? Shiro even sounds like Shy. Maybe Shiro-Guy? Shiro-hō? (at the end of the day, it's all about how fun it is to say - "SHIROHO...PLEEASE SHIROH- WAIT- SHIROHO NOO" lolol) If we are gonna make actual threads for nameless characters like this, why not be smarter/more creative about the names we pick from instead of picking from random plain-sounding English names or basing it off of Randall again?
