:::::Although I still stand by my opinion, I am grateful to you for being civil and courteous on the matter and for discussing this in a rational way. Of course people should be allowed to share their opinion; however, I think we should stick with the compromise for now. To answer your question, the difference is in the complicated history of the character. The original unused character was never given a name or even made canon, and so everything that has come after, be it Green or Leaf, can only be seen as interpretations of the character. The Gold/Ethan thing doesn't count because "Gold" was an established character from the beginning, and the Brandon/Landon thing doesn't count because Brandon was an official name and an established character by the time of that figure's release. The LGPE Green was given her name as a reference to Pokémon Adventures and to canonize the unused character, which suggests, at least to me, that they intended for Leaf to be a separate character. Since we've been treating Leaf as a separate character from the unused character from the time of FRLG's release to the time of LGPE's release, I think we should stick with treating them as separate characters for consistency. --[[User:LavaringX|LavaringX]] ([[User talk:LavaringX|talk]]) 09:35, 22 December 2018 (UTC) | :::::Although I still stand by my opinion, I am grateful to you for being civil and courteous on the matter and for discussing this in a rational way.

::::::I think I understand your position a little bit more. However, up until November 16 of this year, information on the unused female protagonist was on this page-- we had been treating them as the same up until then, as I also believe we should continue to in the future. Additionally, I think that "Gold" from GSC was just as much of an established character as "Leaf" from FRLG. I don't really think that LGPE Green was given the name "Green" to canonize the unused character and to reference Pokémon Adventures, as she didn't really have a canon name prior to LGPE, just a placeholder name that was widely adopted by the community. | |||
::::::Basically, at least from how I see it, she didn't have a canon name before, and now she has one which is more in line with her [[Red (game)|two]] [[Blue (game)|counterparts]], and she also has a design which merges aspects of her two older designs.--[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 15:59, 22 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
