Pokemon gym leader leaks

Will the wikis about more Pokemon characters be updated, like Flannery's age and prototype name?

It depends on how useful the information is for us. I'm not against small profiles, but we generally want to keep the wikis concise and relevant to tagging. The prototype names would probably be useful and could be added to Other Names.

The above was part of the 2024 leak of Game Freak data, does that count?

The fact that its from a leak shouldn't be an issue, the question would be the relevance and accuracy of the information to the canon and tagging the finished product. Information like the age or if the character design is based on something in particular is helpful, a scrapped plotline isnt.

Character ages are not only irrelevant (and often ignored in fanart) but much of them aren't canonical. A lot of the stuff leaked should be treated more as outdated guidelines than anything set in stone. When it comes to wiki stuff if you are writing up a character bio I don't think you should mix in canonical info with prototype/beta/dubious info as if they are the same.

I'm fine with putting fun trivia stuff in wikis (I personally do it all the time), but I don't know if anything in the leaks is remotely interesting trivia. Skyla is one of the few wiki entries that comes to mind that references anything leaked stuff, but here it makes sense since the leaks did cause an explosion in her art output again, with much of the images relevant to the leak tag in question.

The thing about prototypes/leak stuff that really matters are different character designs, as reference for any fanart that features them.

I disagree on the ages if only because I think that it can help with tagged aged up vs. alternate breast size. Basically anything about the design itself is helpful, but yes dubious non-official leaked lore should not be mixed with canon.

Tags like aged up and alternate breast size are used for differences from canon appearance. You should be able to decide which tag, if any, to use without an explicit age or bust size.

If there are images of a prototype design and it looks different enough, then the main wiki for that character should at least mention it to show that it exists. It would probably get its own tag, so a single sentence with a link to that tag should be sufficient. Any other details can go into the prototype design’s tag.

To me, the matter was how Flannery's "background" was not as detailed as Skyla's.

Both of those tags are still completely visual; knowing a character's canonical age does not hep at all when tagging either one of them. Neither the 1000 year old loli vampire nor the 14 year old Yoko Littner look their age, but even without knowing that, you could still easily tell if they were drawn older or younger just by checking their official appearances.

Ironically, if Yoko was drawn aged down, she might actually look 14.
