:Do we have any proof besides the pre-release names? There is quite a bit of evidence for Selene/Elio (look earlier on the talk page), but is there anything else for Ailey/Ray? --[[User:Mira Zannah|<span style="color:#ff00ff">Mira Zannah</span>]] [[User_talk:Mira Zannah|<span style="color:#09C202"><small>(Feel free to yell at me)</small></span>]] 19:33, 15 May 2018 (UTC) | :Do we have any proof besides the pre-release names?

:Neither the <span style="color: blue">♂ male</span> nor the <span style="color: red">♀ female</span> character has an official name per se, because neither of them has an NPC role in the games. The only reason Ethan, Lyra, Brendan, May, Lucas, Dawn, Hilbert, Hilda, Nate, Rosa, Calem, and Serena have such official names is because of their NPC roles when you choose their opposite gender as PC in their respective games; Red and Blue have such official names because of their NPC roles in Gold/Silver/Crystal/etc. So no, let's not rename this article based merely on merchandising practices going on - their provisional fan-assigned names are just OK in the meantime, so long as they are labeled as such (as is being done with Leaf and Silver). I already discussed this reason [[:Talk:Sun (game)#Rename|here]].

::I'd argue the amount of merchandise calling her Selene makes it pretty official. If it were one thing, you could maybe assume they were just using whatever they thought sounds good, but the fact we have Goodsmile, Kotobukiya and others calling her Selene makes it pretty evident that this is what Nintendo/TPCi is calling her. Plus these same companies are also using the canon names for other trainer characters, such as Hilda, Rosa, etc, which were previously only confirmed by ingame data.[[User:Five|Five]] ([[User talk:Five|talk]]) 17:57, 27 June 2018 (UTC) | |||
