Move suggestion

I feel that this page should be moved to either "Link (Conquest)" or "Linking (Conquest)," given that "Link" could simply refer to something like the link cables used for GB/GBC trading. Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 00:27, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I agree with the move, Link can mean anything from this to link cables to connecting to the dream world, and I see no reason not to move it. Unless someone has an objection (doubt it) go ahead and move it. And "Link (Pokémon Conquest)" would be best for the name.TrainerX493 (talk) 20:00, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Connecting to the Dream World is specifically "Game Sync". Linking GB/GBC is not specifically called "link", so I don't think moving this page to "Link (Conquest)" is necessary. If you think it is likely to confuse people, a hatnote (like the one for Pokémon Link!) would work though. --SnorlaxMonster 03:34, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

I would lean more toward a hatnote as well. Disambiguating via page title implies that "link" is an official term for trading/battling via link cable.

Return to "Link" page.
