Huh?
Consider: before the call, you have X money. After the call, you have Y money, where Y > X. Therefore you must call him to get money deposited in your account. Spamguy 08:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Calling Dad does not increase or decrease the amount of money in your account, he only tells you how much money he has deposited since the last time you called him. You actually get the money after each battle, and you can withdraw that money without calling Dad. Neum 05:25, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
To be specific, I wish for the merges on the individual main character articles to be reverted. There have been reversion back and forth on this, and to avoid an edit war I propose that Ness, Paula Polestar, Jeff Andonuts and Poo (EarthBound) be reverted into their original split state.

- They have no real world information, so they don't require articles. Anyways, I have placed the pointless merge tag to satisfy this pointless need to discuss, even though we have
WP:BRD for a reason (If you had actually stated that you felt the articles needed to be kept in the first place, this could already be over).

- I agree with TTN, the only one which might warrant an article is Ness due to his Smash Bros appearances, the others have no need of an article at all. I found this page because I was about to rate Paula's article for the project. A lot of the text in that article was about her allegedly teaching Ness her skills, that entire section was irrelevant, removing it would leave scarcely more info than is present here.

False. Check the Japanese Wikipedia page for Mother 2: it's a ways down, but you'll find that the primary default names for the characters are ネス ("Nesu"/Ness), ポーラ ("Poora"/Paula), ジェフ ("Jefu"/Jeff) and プー ("Puu"/Poo). Actually, all the default names are listed: towards the end of each set, you'll notice that one possible set of default names is "Mario", "Peach", "Luigi" and "Kinopio" (Toad).-- Tenka Muteki 01:40, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Maybe my memory's just fuzzy, but I think I remember Maria's story in Mother 1 being a bit different. Singing was something that hurt Gyiyg, not something he loved: the infant Gyiyg was indeed put in Maria's care, but when she tried to sing to him, Gyiyg struck back and killed her. That's why "she never returned", as the opening mentions. (It could also be how he lost the tail, something mentioned both in the clue for reaching Magicant as well as, albeit indirectly, by Maria.) -- Tenka Muteki 20:02, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand this. Ness' mother's absence from his childhood should have no direct bearing on him being homesick when he is away.
- On that subject, the claim that Ana is Ness's mom seems highly unlikely. Doesn't Earthbound Zero take place in the mid to late 1980's while Earthbound in the year "199X"? If in Earthbound Zero Ana was, like Ninten, around the age of 8 then wouldn't it be impossible for her to have a child Ness' age at the time Earthbound took place? —Preceding unsigned comment added by H6a6t6e ( talk • contribs) 09:56, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
