→To be or not to be that's the question. (Or why is that even a question in the first place?)

::::For what is worth, I have the Italian Official Nintendo Player's Guide of ''Gold and Silver'', the protagonist is referred to as ''the hero'' (''L'eroe'') and the rival is referred to as ''the rival'' (''Il rivale''), so it looks like the name of the protagonist was indeed added in ''HeartGold and SoulSilver''.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 19:07, 7 July 2019 (UTC) | ::::For what is worth, I have the Italian Official Nintendo Player's Guide of ''Gold and Silver'', the protagonist is referred to as ''the hero'' (''L'eroe'') and the rival is referred to as ''the rival'' (''Il rivale''), so it looks like the name of the protagonist was indeed added in ''HeartGold and SoulSilver''.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 19:07, 7 July 2019 (UTC) | ||
:::::Alright, my bad. I guess the two pages are not comparable. My point still stands that we should remove any reference to “Leaf”— it muddles the page and I do really think we should strive for name consistency even in the lack of a precedent. I can’t think of any other page that has had this issue but my strong opinion is that for this page and for future pages we should replace older names with newer ones, even when referring to before the name change. I think I’ve made my stance and my reasoning pretty clear. --[[User:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#00A1E9">cela</span><span style="color:#BF004F">donk</span>]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 12:16, 8 July 2019 (UTC) | :::::Alright, my bad.

::::Yes it is, the name "Leaf" has never been used in an official capacity by Game Freak, much like Gold. The only time "Leaf" has been used the franchise is non-canonical material, and figurines made by a different company. Even with the figurines, we don't know if Game Freak gave them the names for the characters or if they simply went with what the fans have been referring to her as over the years. Also, again, I have to ask, why the hell are '''''figurines''''' taking precedence over '''''the games''''' in the first place? Pokémon is a video game franchise, not a figurine collecting one. I get why Elio and Selene were named such after their merchandise, since it's the only names being used officially, and the placeholder names in the game data are unused since they can vary from game to game (such as Red), but why are people waiting for a figurine to be released, when the games have given her the name "Green"?

I move to begin the article with a section on the unused Generation I character before segueing into information about Green and Leaf. Any objections?
