I'm starting to wonder

Do you think we should start including characters that appeared in a multiple episode arc as characters of the day? ie: Holly, Erica, Timmy Grimm. Yes they were in multiple episodes, but the episodes in question are really one long episode. If they hadn't appeared in any episode after the multi-episode arc they were in, then they really shouldn't count as recurring characters. And no, their two second cameo watching one of the main characters on T.V. or appearing in a flashback shouldn't count as a second appearance.

However, I do realize that this might be a problem with the literal meaning of Character of the day, as they appeared in one episode arc spanning across a couple of days.

What do you guys think? --ケンジガール 00:26, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

No, I disagree. Because they are in full arcs, they should just be considered minor characters like Shigeru and such. シンジShinjiLover,Edits 21:42, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Game characters

I don't think that game characters such as Bill, Steven Stone or Backlot should be listed here. Well, that's true, they were one-episode only but they're actually more important characters originating from the games and no one views them as COTDs. Also, many of Gym Leaders and Frontier Brains (e.g. Surge, Falkner, Lucy) were also only in one episode but they are not listed here. I think that characters originating from the games should not be listed as COTDs. They're not viewed as genuine COTDs by fans. --Maxim 18:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
