 :::::::I second this. Naming her after Pokémon Green/Blue is only natural, after they named the male protagonist and rival after the other versions. The naming scheme isn't exclusive to Pokémon Adventures, so I don't see it as a reference to it. In fact, that wasn't even the only manga to name her that. Her counterpart in Pokémon Pocket Monsters[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Blue_(Ruby-Sapphire)] is called Blue too, despite being clearly based on Leaf from the remakes.

+== To be or not to be that's the question. (Or why is that even a question in the first place?) ==
+So, let's have one final discussion regarding any controversies on "Leaf" and "Green" being the same person or not. The older ones seems to have become overlong and riddled with personal opinions without much regard to actual evidence on both sides. Things just got harder and harder to follow as time went on.
+Pros:
+* Same hairstyle as seen on FRLG and Gen I artwork.
+* Obvious FRLG influences on her attire (backpack is exactly the same from FRLG, and that little pattern on the collar is now blue)
+* Red and Blue are 'slightly updated' Gen I-like designs, so Green was changed accordingly to fit the theme (Remember Sugimori said he just updated the Gen I girl for the female FRLG protagonist, rather than creating a new character from scratch).
+* "Leaf" trademark pose from the FRLG Trainer Card is the same as Green's challenging pose from LGPE, hair flip and all.
+Cons:
+* Someone asked Ken Sugimori on Twitter about her default FRLG name, and he responded "Leaf... Maybe?"
+** However, 'default name' in a broader sense, 'may' not necessarily mean the same thing as the "canon name" to be used throughout the game series. The [[Blue (game)|Generation I Rival]]'s canon name is "Blue" for example, despite that not being a default name for him in [[Pokémon Blue]] or the remakes.
+It's extremely unlikely anyone from The Pokémon Company or Game Freak will ever issue a formal, definite statement on such a simplistic matter. So I think the best solution would be a voting session once we compile a few more Pros and Cons. -- [[User:Yagamitaichi|Yagamitaichi]] ([[User talk:Yagamitaichi|talk]]) 15:40, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
