:I am ''very'' much in support of a rename to something like "Rescue Corps Rookie" or "Newbie Rescue Officer". We shouldn't be calling them this overly clinical out-of-universe descriptor that no one actually uses just because they go by several names, it's like calling the article about "the ship", "our ship", "the Hocotate Freight ship", and "the S.S. Dolphin" something like [[Hocotate ship|''Pikmin 2'' non-playable character]].

:(Edit conflict) I support "Newbie Rescue Officer". It's an official name and it describes the character both accurately and concisely, in a way that "[Game] player character" certainly doesn't. The name "rookie" only seems to be used by Dingo in-universe, and he doesn't prefix it with "Rescue Corps".

::I will say that the title "rookie Rescue Officer" does appear to be used officially in [[https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/News/2023/August/A-day-in-the-life-of-a-Rescue-Corps-Officer-2416417.html one article]], which also calls them "our rookie" for short. The alt-text for the [[https://pikmin.nintendo.com/ca/comics/#!/too-stuck-to-pluck first comic]] seems to call them "Newbie Rescue Officer", before shortening it to just "a Rescue Officer" in all later text.

:Slight correction, the name on the comic's cast page is actually {{j|新米レスキュー|Shinmai Resukyū}}, not {{j|新人レスキュー|Shinjin Resukyū}}, meaning it is not short for the other name. Not that it changes much.

::If we did rename the article to "Newbie Rescue Officer" or something like it, what other changes would need to be made around the wiki? A lot of things would need to be reworded. I think in situations where an article is describing things that can be done with the Newbie Rescue Officer and Oatchi, the name could be shortened to "Rescue Officer", because it would be clear what the name is referring to in this context. — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 20:55, July 8, 2024 (EDT) | ::If we did rename the article to "Newbie Rescue Officer" or something like it, what other changes would need to be made around the wiki?
