For joining them is based on appearance, name and the fact this is a Popcap canon plant. We know that these two are the same plant! It's OBVIOUS they are the same plant! Other arguments talk about the other conjoined plants that have seen a revamp in PvZ2, such as Grave Buster, and begs the question "Why was that OK but this isn't? Grave Buster was totally reworked statistically speaking (Sun cost, recharge, ect)!"

Against joining them provide points summing up to "It's too deviant from the original and must be split apart due to the already large page Cactus has!". And this is true, the PvZ version had special abilities that are voided in PvZ2's version in place for completely new abilities! They both serve completely different functions and have little resemblance during gameplay.

I suggest we create a "line-in-the-sand" for joining plants, because it has happened before with Oxygen Algae and will most likely happen again.

But, seeing as the gameplay should be considered over appearance, I choose But wouldn't it be redundant to separate the same plant? Just because it's different in attacking doesn't mean it is a new plant.
