Merge suggestion
So both the Large Char and the Char in later games have a virtually identical name in Japanese:
- おおイワナ for the former
- オオイワナ for the latter
Both of these in Hepburn are "Ō iwana", with the only difference being that the first name has the "o" kana written in hiragana, while the second has it written in katakana instead.
Since we did merge the Mountain Beetle and the Miyama Stag pages due to both sharing a Japanese name, as well as these two only having a difference in how one specific kana is written, should these two fish be merged into one page?
