>>36690226Blame the dumb weeaboos who insist on using the japanese name for the rival. We can't call her Green, because weeaboos say that Green is the rival. We can't call her Blue, because Blue is the rival. Since DICKS is being a greedy piece of shit with the names, people took the third option, and called her Leaf, since that's what the ingame data called her.
The only reason Red didn't get called Fire is because there's no confusion about his name. If you talk about Red, people already know who you're talking about.
