>>33954330>Really tho, why erase kris and make a completely different character for a remake?Who knows? She has an unused pokegear icon still in the game so they were going to put her in originally. When asked why Kris wasn't in the remake they said it was because it's a remake of GS and not Crystal but that's obviously bullshit since they were planning on including her. I doubt we'll ever know the real reason. My best guess is that Lyra was originally designed just to be an npc for the daycare or something but then they decided to make her a protag at the last minute.
>Also, as much as I hate to admit it (and hell do I hate to), it's true, she's not canon and her existense would be in conflict with red's as they both are seemingly the same, at least in-game.Alternate universes are a thing. If you played as her she's canon.
>>33954366Oh so I guess no other protags are canon either since they haven't appeared in any other games.
