:I think that's been pretty much agreed upon that the merged page should be titled "Pokémon Center Lady", as this is an official term for the character since Gen I (well, at least its Japanese equivalent was used back then). The phrase "Pokémon Center nurse" has never been officially used anywhere. Furthermore, I think it's a misnomer. Unlike anime's Joys, the PC Ladies in the games do not appear to have any medical knowledge, they just operate the healing machine - that's why they're also referred to as "receptionists". So, the term "PC nurse" is not only unofficial, it's also technically incorrect. But there hasn't been any admin initiative on this issue for years, so this fully justified move/merge has ended up in a stalemate. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 21:20, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Merge

They're the same thing, like Gym Leader, Island Kahuna, Elite Four, etc., so they should be kept on the same page (especially since this page will probably remain quite short). --Abcboy (talk) 19:53, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Seconded, provided that page gets the noted name change. (I actually forgot about that page when making this one.) TehPerson (talk) 01:31, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Third, I also think this portrait of SM model should replace the current one on the other page since it's a class now, and should be updated like the others.-- --Handmaiden 101 (tAlk) 05:30, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
