It's worth noting that Nintendo has been adamant, on numerous occasions, that just about everything you see in official guides, books and manuals on Nintendo "canon," specifically Mario "canon," is totally false.
I also take issue with Americans pronouncing it YO-she. Yoshi clearly says Yosh-ee, as do most people in England.
wait, really
No, it's actually pronounced Yosh. Like, if you were Yoshi's friend in high school and you were like, "Hey, Yosh!"
I'm not kidding. That's actually how it's pronounced in Japanese.
Don't know if this is just an obscure japanese language joke, but I still had to comment on it. While the word よし (yo-shi) can be pronounced Yosh in japanese (when meaning OK or All right), that's obviously not Yoshi's name. With correct japanese spelling Yoshi is named ヨッシー which directly translates to yosshii, but is pronounced YO-she.

But without the English diphtongized "o." I guess that's where much of that confusion comes from.
With this revelation and Miles "Tails" Prower coming before that, how many other characters have been without their full names?? What if Kirby is really Leeroy Kirbicus McPuff?
Also, I guess we need to add another rule to this new ruleset prohibiting users from calling Nintendo fanboys "homo nintendonus".
(Talking of which, let's keep our criticism of Patrick's article constructive, if indeed you have something critical to say. Personally, I would think that any and all new Yoshi information is important to Jeff Gerstmann's vision for this site.)

Yeah, I guess that's some of it.
Just to set things straight. It's less Jesse Pinkman:

And more kabuki theater (without all the extra o's):
@dazzhardy: No, @shawns is correct, that is clearly a name of a species, not an individual. I don't see how anyone could read that as the name of an individual on its face, and in the context of the caption it is clearly denoting a species (like Homo Nintendonus, which is not Mario's name).
This suggests that an "Evil" Yoshi would be of species T. Yoshisourus Munchanintendonus, a Yoshi that eats Marios.
