::When you accuse Bulbapedia (broadly) of "pretend[ing] that [Kris/Chris] is only applicable to the heroine", I understand you to be suggesting that if the female PC is at [[Kris (game)]] then the male PC should be at ''Chris (game)'' and not [[Ethan (game)]]. But "Kris" is explicitly acknowledged as an unofficial name, and "Ethan" is considered official (by Bulbapedia); the circumstances are different. So that's not actually a fair statement to make.

::Leaf is still really simple. If you think it's wrong, get the page moved first. Once that's happened, then you can feel free to condemn the "Leaf" derivation all you want. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 11:09, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

:::It's a fact but providing ''the'' reason preemptively answers the question "You state that it does not retroactively apply to GSC but why is that?" that people are likely to ask even if they don't enounce the question itself.
:::Ethan is indeed official hence Bulbapedia's acknowledgment and use of the name. But it does not apply outside of HGSS, period. CHRIS is not more valid than GOLD like KRIS is not more valid than Marina. If CHRIS isn't valid for GOLD, then KRIS isn't valid for Marina either since they are named the same in Japanese and they both lack (known) official names.
:::We all know that "Leaf" is not going to be moved anytime soon even if a move request is issued, just look at the long discussions on the talk page from years ago. That's still not a justification for presenting speculation or objectively false information. [[User talk:SatoMew2|<b><span style="color:#4fd9ff">SatoMew</span></b>]] 13:43, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
