Hmm, I always thought the "dinosaur" thing was a hasty change to the English version of Super Mario World, made to appeal to kids into the whole dinosaur fad and Jurassic Park was out yada yada...
I mean, come on. Rex has wings. Who thinks up a silly winged dinosaur and doesn't call it a dragon?
You know what I'm gonna call Yoshi? A DRAGOSAUR.
Thing is, in Yoshi's Story, they were baby Yoshis, so a baby-sounding voice worked. But it seems a little odd to have the exact same voice for the adult Yoshis.
I agree. But then again, didn't Kamek call you "Yoshi-baby" in Yoshi's Island? And the "baby Yoshies" of Yoshi's Story weren't THAT much smaller than the Yoshies in other games. What is a Yoshi's lifecycle, anyway?
