 :Most of it can be checked on the specific talk pages. We shouldn't need to put an explanation on every danged article about where we got the names, most especially since they're well known. The main problem that comes up is when fans come up with "LOL WHY LEEF WHY NOT GREEN *move move move*" No one just accepts that despite being a fansite we do check stuff over before naming things.

+::The problem is in most cases the information isn't on the talk pages. I'm not asking for an explanation on every page, just an explanation in the MoS or policies.
+::You say they're well known, when the only evidence i see for that is the bulbapedia articles themselves who have made them well known. I'm not trying to suggest you're putting up false information either, but i am saying that the methods you've chosen for naming appear to be arbitrary without any evidence to show how the names are chosen (as well as the the differing methods).
+::The nature of a wiki generally doesn't allow something like that, so i'm shocked this is considered an exception. It makes it near impossible to use your naming in any legitmate work without the explanations as there's no way to confirm the research, which is where i'm having trouble.
+::If anything Leaf is the one i find easiest to believe, as it's roughly explained. It's pretty much all the others i'm having issues with.
+::I can only guess it started out with the first name on the default list for players from first version (Red, Gold) is chosen for the male player character and the same for the rival list (as it's always the opposite), resulting the the third always the female, which seems fitting for back then. But starting with RSE, the names you've chosen aren't even in the default name lists and without explanation, so those names are seemingly pulled out of thin air without explanation or a reference to where they're from.
+::I hope you can understand my dilema. :/ --[[User:Zeal|<span title="Zeal" style="color:#90C">'''Zeal'''</span>]]&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Zeal|<span title="Talk" style="color:#999">T</span>]]&nbsp;/&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Zeal|<span title="Contributions" style="color:#999">C</span>]]</sup> 14:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
