A page that would detail everything about the character itself, while the completely different PvZ, PvZ 2, PvZAS, and PvZGW versions are all completely seperate? What? (and thanks for reminding me about ANOTHER page we haven't separated yet even though we agreed on it.) Well, you pretty much just said what I meant. A page for the character of Cactus would be similar to a page for the character of Zomboss, which we already agreed to make. Expect Zomboss is a main character with dialogue, Cactus is a random character who barely speaks, we only know about its personality through almanacs and there's multiple while Zomboss like I said before, speaks and the way he speaks and the almanacs help us know more about his personality. Well now we have to get into what makes a character a character. I myself don't believe any plants and zombies (aside from Zomboss) qualify as actual "characters". While the almanac gives them personalities, genders, etc, they are NOT singular characters along the lines of Crazy Dave, Penny, and Zomboss. As proven by te game itself, there are multiples of every plant. Meaning, they aren't characters at all, they're just plants. The almanac, at least in my opinion, is only giving them personalities for either humorous effect, or relatability. The fact of the matter is, I don't think any plants are characters at all, as you can't use character to refer to a species. The plants aren't characters, and thus that shouldn't be a reason to merge them, they should merged because they function exactly the same. Hence why the Oxygen Algaes are merged. Hence why Gargantuar Prime, Bronze Gargantuar, and Flying Gargantuar are all seperate from the regular Gargantuar. Because they function differently. Character has no place when you're referring to a species.
