Art

I've found the Sugimori artwork for Lance. Should I put it in the infobox or no? ZestyCactus 17:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Where did you find it? If it's the legit Sugimori art, yeah, Go for it. --electAbuzzzz 17:20, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Done. And this art is from the HG/SS main website, so it's legit. --Jonouchi 19:55, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Green Hair

What is up with green hair in Pokémon? The Galactic grunts have it as does Lance. Why do people have a non-existant hair colour. And, could this mean that Lance was related to Galactic Grunts or used to be a member of them? Solar Dragon 20:04, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

wp:Hair dye. The second one's speculation.--Dark ICE (User:Cold)^{(page, talk)} 20:09, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Sorry. Should have used the forums for that. Solar Dragon 20:11, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Promotion?

This is probably as fanon as all get out, but isn't it possible that Lance was that Grunt from the Slowpoke Well and just got Promoted? I mean, HGSS Lance uses Golbat and Weezing, where the Well Grunt used a Koffing and the Executive used a Golbat. It's possible, I guess. But there's no proof.. I dunno. Notable?--Purimpopoie 18:10, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Well. I was wondering about that, too. Lance in Gen. IV is like a blending of that Grunt and the Executive from Radio Tower, who trained a Golbat. In HGSS, Lance was the Executive since the beginning. In Generation II, there was no word about that Grunt getting promoted (he'd still have a Koffing or Weezing after promotion, wouldn't he?). So, I'm rather thinking that Lance is a Gen. IV version of that Executive and that they decided to retcon that Grunt by placing Lance in his place (If they didn't do that, Lance would be an underused character). --Maxim 18:22, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

If that's the case, saying that 'he existed since GSC' is presumptuous. I think that should at least be changed to say 'Lance may have existed as an Executive in the Radio Tower in Gen 2.' Also, just because Gen 2 Executive has a Golbat and appears in the same place isn't enough to say he definitely is Lance. --The Great Butler 00:23, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Then what? A "spiritual replacement"? Invisible evil twin brother? --Maxim 13:22, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

If nothing else, Lance is based on the original Executive. He isn't the exact same guy like Apollo is. --The Great Butler 01:57, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
