sorta related but not really. cheap cheap is a the sound a bird makes, yet Nintendo named a fish this.
Nintendo named it puku-puku which is a common onomatopoeia for bubbling noises in Japan.
Lots of Japanese names and puns got lost in translation back then.
I love this kinda of trivia. Thanks for the share
My guess is that the translator localizer thought it was akin to a flying fish since they jump out of the water. Cheep cheep makes slight sense with that train of thought. Also follows the onomatopoeia part
Ooh this is a good guess.
