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

::::::::The lack of an official name in the '''specific''' context of FRLG makes the figure merch just as acceptable as for Elio and Selene.

I have tried explaining the logic; you're denigrating the values. There's not really a lot of persuasion to exercise there. (If you want to seriously accept our values and explain how you think that we should do X for some page if we really want Green's page like this (and if we don't want that then we need to fix Green), we can explore that.

:::::::::I've been reluctant to take part in this discussion, but I think right now may be a good moment to add something. If I understood corectly, the lack of an in-game name and therefore usage of a merch name for Green/Leaf in FRLG is comparable to the situation of Elio and Selene in SM and USUM. Also, it appears to me that the names Elio and Selene were given in the context of Sun and Moon specifically and later extended to USUM. So, hypothetically, let's say that both Elio and Selene appeared in USUM as NPCs and were given different names in those games (say, Rick and Cindy). In this situation, how would we deal with the names of those characters? Would Rick and Cindy be used widely, since they had no in-game names before that (and considering that they are the same characters as in Sun and Moon), or would we still call them Elio and Selene when referring to Sun and Moon? | |||
:::::::::I'd like you people to try to picture this situation I described unbiased, so maybe we can extend whatever answer it receives to Green/Leaf as well. And if my logic has any flaws, please point them out, but still try to picure that scenario. [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 02:10, 10 July 2019 (UTC) | |||
