This name sux. Is it an official one?http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120114123506/nitrome/images/6/6b/RT_Larry_Sleeping.png NTPYTO ^Gb_Sp^R4 http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110308234421/nitrome/images/1/16/Blue.png

Nope, but the article is named after the dinosaur which is being depicted. And yes... 20 letters for a name is too long. But then, that's the dino's name, so we have to keep it like that. --Talk to NOBODY   03:22, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

It's just a pixel dinosaur. Where's the evidence that proves this is what it is? Maybe Nitrome just drew a random dinosaur that looks like the pachy-whatever.http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120114123506/nitrome/images/6/6b/RT_Larry_Sleeping.png NTPYTO ^Gb_Sp^R4 http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110308234421/nitrome/images/1/16/Blue.png

I don't think so because they look exactly the same [1] http://images.wikia.com/nitromefanfiction/images/b/b1/GouchnoxSig1.pnghttp://images.wikia.com/nitromefanfiction/images/4/4d/GouchnoxSig2.pnghttp://images.wikia.com/nitromefanfiction/images/2/2a/GouchnoxSig3.png

Exactly the same? I wasn't aware dinosaurs in their age had pixel art complexions.   Random-storykeeper 07:33, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

I'm not seeing a verification symbol nor any naming proof within the game. Might I also point out that many species of dinosaurs look similar to each other. Maybe we should link to some images of real life depictions on the talk page for comparison. Here's the pachycephalosaurus.   Random-storykeeper 07:32, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

You must admit that they look like the Pachycephalosaurus so we have to call them Pachycephalosauruses... because they are very similar to them. We can't call them Triceratops anyway... Squids look like squids and are called squids even if real-live squids are not green or yellow ! http://images.wikia.com/nitromefanfiction/images/b/b1/GouchnoxSig1.pnghttp://images.wikia.com/nitromefanfiction/images/4/4d/GouchnoxSig2.pnghttp://images.wikia.com/nitromefanfiction/images/2/2a/GouchnoxSig3.png

The pachysephalosaurus has a beak like mouth and a rocky spiked helmet used for battle. This one in BCBC has these features, so it is the proper name. Pufflesrcute (talk) 09:16, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

@Gouchnox, actually your squid example is correct but these kinds of names are quite specific compared to a Squids article. Also, I wouldn't really agree that they look exactly the same.  TNY [wake] http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/nitrome/images/6/63/Pug.PNG  16:36, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

I think the dinosaur appears very similar to a pachycephalosaurus. Also, the name doesn't seem as long when you think of the etymology for it. Pachy (hard) + cephalo (head) + saurus (lizard). -- http://images.wikia.com/nitromefanfiction/images/thumb/b/be/Auto_peg.png/25px-Auto_peg.png Ayernam 20:00, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

I agree too. I don't think scientists names dinosaurs randomly. http://images.wikia.com/nitromefanfiction/images/b/b1/GouchnoxSig1.pnghttp://images.wikia.com/nitromefanfiction/images/4/4d/GouchnoxSig2.pnghttp://images.wikia.com/nitromefanfiction/images/2/2a/GouchnoxSig3.png
