::She didn't have to be another playable character though... perhaps she was intended to be a second rival (like how it is in Black / White).  And it's always possible that she may not have been important at all... unimportant characters have been used in the anime before.  For example, there were two other trainers from Pallet that served no purpose other than to take the other starter Pokémon, ensuring that Ash started off with Pikachu.  Also, in the introduction there's some Lass included who isn't important, even though all the other people shown are main characters.

::And I think that programming her ''would'' be "that easy"... which is kind of my point.  I think that the reason that the girl isn't available in Red / Green / Blue / Yellow / Gold / Silver is because they didn't even come up with the idea until Crystal, which I think makes a lot more sense than saying that it was because it was too hard to progam (which I know it wasn't), that there wasn't enough space on the cartidge (which I know that there was), or just that the developers were to lazy to do so (which is unlikely).

:::Yeah. I don't think there is any real evidence to show that she was supposed to be a playable character. There might be evidence in some Japanese interviews, or we could try asking [[Ken Sugimori]] himself [https://twitter.com/#!/super_32x via] Twitter... I think that we should probably change it to say something like "unknown female character". Some could speculate [[:File:Latias Blaziken.jpg|this character]] to be an early version of [[May]] (she also appeared in some [[:File:Latias Latios.png|promotional artwork]] for the game) but there's no evidence to support that as far as I'm aware.

:::I think she probably had at least some significance, given how [[Green (Adventures)|Green]] and [[Leaf (game)|Leaf]]'s (who did become a playable character) designs are based on her. The female character appears again in a [[:File:Capsule Monsters Hotel.jpg|sketch]] from a page from one of Game Freak's books called [http://web.me.com/celebi23/Capsule_Monsters/Books.html Satoshi Tajiri: A Man Who Created Pokémon]. Unfortunately, I don't own the book and don't know if it says anything significant about her. A similar character appears in a book on how to make Pokémon origami, but the manga sections are illustrated by Emiko Yoshino, not Ken Sugimori. (according to {{user|Bluesun}}). --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 20:48, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
