::Exactly. Game Freak meant for Proton and Petrel to be those two Executives. BUT, the article words it as though they have ''always'' been Proton and Petrel, and I see that as more of a misconception, since they obviously weren't.

:::Names aren't everything. They're meant to be the same Executives. Why wouldn't they? Their existence doesn't retcon anything or even contradict with GSC, so why wouldn't we call them same characters? Sure, when they were creating GSC they had no idea that they'd give those generic Executives new designs and names. But why should we delete that just because they didn't intend it from the start? There were many things that weren't intended from the start. TMs weren't always intended to be CDs. GSC male wasn't always intended to be Ethan. But now they are. The only thing we should care is canon. Canonically, they're the same characters. Dismissing the canon facts because of some assumption "what Game Freak could be thinking eleven years ago" is idiotic. All that matters is what there IS, not what COULD BE. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:30, 5 April 2010 (UTC) | :::Names aren't everything. They're meant to be the same Executives. Why wouldn't they?

:Just a question... how similar are Proton and Petrel's dialogue to the executives they replaced. Canonically speaking, a character's dialogue reveals the most about them in most cases. But I don't remember exactly... is their dialogue similar enough that they should be considered the same? Allowing for changes, of course, such as Petrel's Giovanni disguise (which I'm pretty sure is brand new). --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 18:41, 5 April 2010 (UTC) | |||
