Why was she split from the Leaf page? They're basically the same character. Green's outfit still references the FRLG one, includes the same bag and does the exact same posing as she did in FRLG at the start of a battle. If we allow this, then Gold should absolutely be split from Ethan as well. --Johto (talk) 01:28, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
- I don't really feel like getting back into this debate, but yeah, I agree. It seems (and has always seemed) like we're applying different rules to different pages.
- If anything this whole thing speaks volumes about how Pokemon handles... things, for lack of a better term. I'm reminded of the whole Ultra Beasts/Legendaries debate. If the Pokemon Company doesn't run on common sense then it's hard for us to, as much as I desperately wish we could.
- If I had the mental energy to push for the pages to be remerged I absolutely would. But I feel like it's kind of a futile effort. I highly doubt anyone will listen. In my experience it has been hard for us normal folk to make any changes happen. I'm just going to passively voice my support for a merge, and (probably) leave it at that. Apologies for the apathy. --celadonk (talk) 02:09, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
