:::::On second thought, I've slightly reworded the ledes of the three male Executives' articles so the situation is more prominent. I hope this is a good compromise.

::::::: I will leave things here, although I still do feel that Proton and Petrel were technically new characters in gen 4. The Magma/Aqua admins are a diffrent case. They have the same names and close roles. It should be noted, though, that the only diffrence is that the opposite genders act as counterparts as opposed to the samesex in the originals. Therefore, it would be incorrect to say that Shelly is battled in Mt Chimney, as Matt was the actual one battled in the original game. So here, it technically is wrong to say that Proton existed from gen 2 as an ordinnary grunt was at the slowpoke well whereas an admin at goldenrod. And there technically is not three but four admins as there also is no way to prove that the admin at Mahogany is the same as the on disguised as the director. And given that the dressing was added in the remakes not the originals it is doubtful if at the time they were meant to be the same. So, in conclusion, given that proton was actully two entirely diffrent persona in gen 2, it technically is incorrect to say that he existed from gen 2. However, I will let matters rest here, although I would like to know what you think of my suggestion.

:::: On furthet note, although I did not notice it at first, the section right above this one shows that I am not the first to speak on this matter.

::::::::My personal opinion is that the unnamed Executive from the Goldenrod Radio Tower is enough of a basis for us to say Proton existed just as much as Petrel, Archer and Ariana — which is to say that although the name and visual appearance did not exist at that time, the character's role in the story and Pokémon team did. Given the prior consensus and the discussions further above on this talk page, my impression is that it seems that people probably would tend to agree with my assessment. But if you want an end-all be-all final answer, you could ask the {{bp|staff|Editorial Board}} to weigh in on the matter.
