It seems Nintendo changed the plural from "Yoshies" to "Yoshis" at some point...

Anyway, which plural do you use?

I say "Yoshies"...I think it's grammatically incorrect, but it looks better than "Yoshis."

Usually Yoshis, but sometimes Yoshies. I think I've seen both used officially.

I'm used to using 'Yoshies' as well. I've yet to see someone use 'Yoshis'.

It could be one of those weird words and be "Yoshi"

As in "All of the Yoshi on the island exploded."

Or.... maybe not

I think that I'd probably be just Yoshi. What about Yoshii?

Yeah, my vote goes to Yoshi. I have always thought of it that way, and I am sticking to it.

I think it's Yoshis, but that doesn't look right so I said Yoshies instead.

I use "Yoshies" because that's what Yoshi's Island uses. I don't know why they changed it to "Yoshis," just like "Shy-Guy" became "Shy Guy."

I usually don't talk about more than one Yoshi, but I guess it'd be Yoshies.

Yeah, I... don't, really .

I guess I'd say Yoshis, because it'd just be adding an s (duh) and grammatically correct (I think).

I think it's "Yoshies", because "Yoshis" would be pronounced either "Yoshiss" or "Yoshizz", neither of which sound right.
And what's with the Pepto-Bismol option?

I say "Yoshi" because I consider it a Proper Noun even though I doubt it is.

The name is but not the species. It is Yoshies by english that is how it is spelled... I think... Because umm... it is.

Er. I think that all Yoshis are named Yoshi, actually, so it would be a proper noun... Plus it's always capitalized, so yeah...

Heartburn, nausea, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea! New Pepto-Bismol!

I think it's better as "Yoshis"
