Name

So, does anyone consider all three species as Spotty Bulborbs like I do? As in, Red Bulborbs are a subspecies of Spotty Bulborb? Vol (Talk)

Not really. Red Bulborbs are the the Spotty Bulborbs, but that name is outdated. Ridly Metroid.gif Screech! 06:54, 15 October 2010 (EDT)

Like, the scientific name of a Spotty Bulborb is Oculus kageyamii, and the scientific name for Red Bulborb is Oculus kageyamii russus. And the scientific name for Orange Bulborb is Oculus kageyamii orangium. Vol (Talk)

It's true the game never gives a common name for the grouping of all three Bulborb subspecies, but just "Bulborb" is generally accepted. What it does say that the Spotty Bulborb was reclassified specifically as the Red Bulborb, so there's little reason to believe that the species Oculus kageyamii would have the common name "Spotty Bulborb." A note about the scientific name: the name Oculus kageyamii was given before more subspecies were discovered, so at the time the name for the subspecies was not necessary. Red bulborbs are a member of the species Oculus kageyamii, but the name Oculus kageyamii russus is more specific in identifying the subspecies. —Jimbo Jambo 19:13, 15 October 2010 (EDT)
