And I'm actually leaning more towards a split (Celestic Town Elder for the games and adaptations, Professor Carolina for the anime counterpart. It's not uncommon for us to have separate articles for cross-canon counterparts, especially those who have differing names).

Pokemon character names have always been based on plants - this is a consistent theme and now with leaked development documents it's straightforward confirmed. While what you put could be a secondary origin, it's still unconfirmed and opinionated, so I'm reverting this edit. Tag: Undo

Of course, to me it's obvious that the design was first intended for the games and just previewed early in the TCG, but release matters.

As GS was already in development, it's probably a teaser in both TCG and the anime but no matter how we look at this, Cassidy is not the original design. TCG was earlier.

It's just a transliteration that was used because he lacked a Korean name (the last Johto episodes never aired in South Korea). Now he has one due to that Korean-only Johto League special (a "movie" made by combined and heavily truncated season finale episodes). Information via Korean Pokemon Wiki.

These artworks use Japanese terminology in Romaji (like S.S. ANNU on the Ticket), so this counts as Japanese name. I don't think that this artwork has been ever used in any English-language publication, anyway.

- 17:2817:28, 10 November 2023 diff hist +7 After the Rain With You LOTS of misconceptions here. Firstly, the main character is named Anna, not Juliana (that'd be Aoi in Japanese - whether she's supposed to be Juliana's counterpart is speculative to me). Secondly, it is a novel, not a manga. Thirdly, the illustrations are credited on the final page. None of them was drawn by Takeda.

Also, I wonder if their English names are some staff inside jokes, like their Japanese names. They got suddenly renamed during the localization process (leaked translation files reveal that they were once named Stan and Fiona in the beta stage), so maybe they had something in mind.

- 10:0510:05, 3 September 2023 diff hist +3 Pokémon in Poland →Pokémon manga: The series wasn't "unpopular". Most Polish Pokemon fans of the time didn't have the chance to know it existed because of poor distribution. The publisher did zero effort to advertise it, they didn't respect the source material, they just thought that everything with Pokemon logo on it would stonks (that's the only reason they bought ithe rights). So, "low sales" is a better explanation. But the true reason for it is JPF's incompetence.

Since SM was released in Chinese and the naming was reformed, things are consistent now. I wouldn't put my money on anime and (especially) manga but post-SM names from the TCG should be valid because it's Nintendo-supervised.
