>>44827863We use the english localization names for everything here. This should not be an exception. Your opinions on localization are irrelevant.
>Leaf on the other hand is a fanfic name only ever officially used in a fanfic gacha mobile game to drain coomers dry, therefore it's not even relevant.Its official name used in merch and Masters. The hat design was never named Green in any official capacity.
>Not to mention it's not even consistent with the other two Kanto protagonists, cause then FRLG Red (brown hair) would be called Fire and likewise FRLG "Blue" (Green) would be called... Water?Irrelevant.
>The only other case where something even remotely close to this happens is with HGSS getting rid of Kris for Lyra, but even in that case Kris and Lyra look completely different from each other, unlike Blue/Green and Leaf.
It's the exact same case as Lyra and Kris, you just don't like it, but we're not discussing your opinions.
