You know, particularly when one looks at the higher-level trainers, it's difficult to say what their signature Pokémon should be, and I wonder if one should even consider them to have one.  For example, [[Lorelei]]'s {{p|Jynx}} or {{TP|Lorelei|Cloyster}} could be considered just as defining as her strongest and final, {{p|Lapras}}.  But on the other hand, part of me wants to include such trainers and their strongest just to avoid edit wars, since there's going to be ''someone'' who notices other Elite Four members on the list and "realizes" that Lorelei was "forgotten".  And I'd prefer not to throw in a hundred notes about why this trainer or that trainer was excluded.  The article could just drop the list entirely, but lists of data are essentially the bread and butter of this wiki, right?  And I doubt anyone's going to consider this a complete article without it.  So... I don't know.  Thoughts, opinions?  Should I just throw a [[Template:Fan speculation|fan speculation]] notice on it and call it a day?  --[[User:Pie|Pie]] <sup>~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]]</sup> 21:59, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

:I always assumed that the strongest Pokémon was their "signature Pokémon", even if it's not in other media. You do have a separate anime section, where "Prima" could be added with her Cloyster.
