:::Since we're really just working with single words in a table here, "professional-looking" and "proper" are matters of opinion, meaning "consistency" is the only sticking point. You say it should be consistent for each individual character, ignoring whatever patterns may exist elsewhere. The current setup is consistent as part of an overall system across all games (as explained above), which is also consistent with the only official nomenclature we know of, and out of 129 characters requires only 14 exceptions (~10.8%, all but one of which are in SSB4, making it appear worse than it is). Note that there's no way the community itself is consistent on the issue; there's going to be people that say "green Yoshi" and people that say "default Yoshi", and neither side is really more right than the other (though note that the latter does require pre-existing knowledge that default Yoshi is green, which is probably fine for Yoshi but maybe not for more obscure characters to less-knowledgeable players). "Consistency" is all well and good, but what we have here is two different types of "consistency" against each other, and so it's arguably right back down to just opinion.

::::I'm not talking about "consistency" across all 4 alt costume pages, though that is a consequence. I'm talking about consistency throughout the characters' default costume names. If both of our views are just opinions, then neither are really that strong, and you know I"d rather just throw up a vote than continue discussing if you're gonna pull that card. We both think our views are better. So let's get a vote. 1-1.
