:::::If you mean the "has no official name", that doesn't change the fact she's referred to as Soul throughout the article, which has lead to everyone annoyingly calling her as such like it's official. The most ridiculous thing is that the Japanese equivalent is there; seriously, what the hell? She should either not be referred to with any name or be called by a name that she's actually been seen having in-game, Heart. Not to mention it should be written in a way that explains where her names come from, rather than misleadingly-worded statements like "Soul is the female player character..."

::::::Perhaps the best way to approach this for now is to give the article a more neutral point of view with respect to the Kris/Soul debate.  Also, I've stated several times on BMGf why I think using the default names isn't an indicator of this girl's identity.  Default names have changed from game to game, see [[Gold (game)]].  Chances are, she'll have a new default name in HG/SS, but then again, so will Gold.  The best evidence I can think of is to look at the anime and manga.  If this girl is introduced as a separate character in those media, we can assume she's a new character in the games, if Crystal and Marina just end up getting new looks, then it's safe to say that this girl is Kris.[[User:Jeff|-Jeff]]<sup>[[User talk:Jeff|(talk)]]</sup> 15:34, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

:::::::@ Eric Destler: Screens tell us which names the people who took the screens are using, not which names are default. As others have pointed out, we've seen screens with a number of names for the characters in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, and none of them were the names we wound up using for the characters. --[[User:Martonimos|((<font color="#008000">Marton</font>]] [[User talk:Martonimos|<font color="#50C878">imos</font>))]] 23:55, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
