:::You staffmembers sure seem adamant about internal data when it comes to names. Bit of a shame that the situation didn't apply to the legendary status of Type: Null, Silvally and the tapu last year where the staff refused to list them as legendaries for months until the shiny distributions stated it loud and clear.

:If hassle were the honest concern here I'd struggle to wonder why the suggestion to move was even put forward at all. Surely the options must have been weighed at the time it was suggested that if the campaign to move were successful, then the required work wouldn't be too strenuous, right? I think the opposition is more personal. I've seen many detractors here and there sneer at Elio and Selene out of disdain. From that, the goal may be to deny and delay the move long enough so that everyone either forgets or declares it so far out from Generation VII's launch that there would be no point to revising everything, everyone has already grown accustomed to Moon so leave it there even if it's incorrect on all accounts, thus preserving the name they prefer. Borders on tinfoil, but I find very little reason to actually oppose the move. Even the tired notion that internal data/pre-release names take precedence is itself contradicted by the protagonists that appear as NPCs. Never mind that when that talking point was first cemented (''several generations ago''), merchandise for the human characters was next to non-existent, so there actually ''isn't'' any official stance on what precedence official merchandise might take because the idea of game protagonists getting merch at all was far-fetched. Lastly, if this discussion is so settled, why is it still labeled as open on the article for over a  year?--[[User:ThePacisBack|ThePacisBack]] ([[User talk:ThePacisBack|talk]]) 21:30, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

::Oneplusoneis2, in your first response after my last comment, notice how you didn't mention Leaf? ...You don't need Leaf to make any case for Moon. Leaf has no bearing on it.
::To everyone else who thinks I have taken some specific side: read more critically. Pointing out bad arguments is not the same thing as taking a side.
::Not to try to blame y'all or anything, but you're coming in here and seeing me as one of the only people saying anything, and even after I say anything nothing is changing. So you take me as the bad guy. I'm not. I'm frankly not interested in any side enough to argue about it here. You (the Selene people) could be right. Or the page could be right as is. Or Ailey could be right. The long and short of it is: aside from trying to cull out bad arguments, as far as I'm concerned, you all are mostly arguing with yourselves (and what you imagine me to be).
