::::I'd like to go back to your first sentence though. I hope this doesn't come across as rude, but how is Green vs Leaf any different from any redesign for a main character in the past, many of which are even more drastic than this? --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 04:01, 22 December 2018 (UTC) | ::::I'd like to go back to your first sentence though.

:::::Although I still stand by my opinion, I am grateful to you for being civil and courteous on the matter and for discussing this in a rational way. Of course people should be allowed to share their opinion; however, I think we should stick with the compromise for now. To answer your question, the difference is in the complicated history of the character. The original unused character was never given a name or even made canon, and so everything that has come after, be it Green or Leaf, can only be seen as interpretations of the character. The Gold/Ethan thing doesn't count because "Gold" was an established character from the beginning, and the Brandon/Landon thing doesn't count because Brandon was an official name and an established character by the time of that figure's release. The LGPE Green was given her name as a reference to Pokémon Adventures and to canonize the unused character, which suggests, at least to me, that they intended for Leaf to be a separate character. Since we've been treating Leaf as a separate character from the unused character from the time of FRLG's release to the time of LGPE's release, I think we should stick with treating them as separate characters for consistency. --[[User:LavaringX|LavaringX]] ([[User talk:LavaringX|talk]]) 09:35, 22 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
