Talk:Leaf (game): Difference between revisions
→To be or not to be that's the question. (Or why is that even a question in the first place?)

:::I'm not attacking you for changing your mind. I'm only saying exactly what I said...you incredibly confused me because you didn't acknowledge changing your position or give any reasons. You just looked inconsistent. (That said, I can't tell what you took from Frozen Fennec since they haven't commented since the response I linked from you.) | :::I'm not attacking you for changing your mind.

:::Perhaps I can approach this Ethan and Green thing a little differently. My position is, the FRLG female PC has an official name and so does the LGPE female PC...while the GSC male PC has no official name and the HGSS male PC does. I.e., FRLG/LGPE and GSC/HGSS are not the same. When you say that FRLG/LGPE (Leaf/Green) and GSC/HGSS (Gold/Ethan) are the same, I hear that you think the GSC male PC's official name was Gold...is that correct? (At the risk of saying more than necessary, please answer that last question first and foremost. My position is very secondary, I'm trying to understand yours at the moment.)

::::Wow, the section has gotten much longer since I last responded. I do want to try adding in some more thoughts to the matter. Sinjoh noted that "Leaf" had never been used or acknowledged as a name but Sugimori teased on Twitter back in 2011 that it is ''maybe'' her official name despite the only other notable things giving her a name were the manga and even then, those were inconsistent as you had two characters based on her named Green and later, Blue. Green, Red, Fire, and Leaf were also all possible default names for her as well in Generation III. I imagine Sugimori stating it was ''maybe'' her name at the time did not help either. I think the ONLY thing that could really be seen as similar at the time is that Leaf / Green and Gold / Ethan both had manga counterparts and was most likely where a lot of people started to pick up calling those two ''Leaf'' and ''Gold'' respectively. Leaf can also be stated to be used ''in-game'' to some capacity if you count that Leaf is the default name given to her in the internal data of the game as has been stated numerous times earlier in the game. I imagine I am probably adding some confusion to this article's talk page and I do apoligize for that. | |||
::::As for a page split which I cannot seem to find any discussion of, I would be ok leaving it as one page for now. If anything, roughly 90% of this page over the past 10 or so years has been nothing but a discussion over whether or not she should be called Leaf or Green. I would modify the header at the top of the page to note that Green / Leaf is called ''Leaf'' by default in the game's internal data to lessen confusion and possibly prevent creating a far longer discussion over her actual name in the long run.
