Having said that, I do agree that examples like Hilbert don\'t count as they\'re definitely main characters to begin with and there\'s no muddling of the line there. That examples is much more like Link then any of the other Pokemon.

I should clarify, I was more referring to its use in the Pokémon franchise itself rather then the term at large as there seems to be a difference in how it\'s handled for the most part (though there are examples like Luigi). For instance, no one would dare question examples like Link not qualifying as Ensemble Darkhorses as he\'s definitely the main character and hell, I\'ve seen those examples stripped out as soon as possible on other pages, but Pokemon don\'t seem to be subject to that. Examples like the aforementioned Charizard, Lugia and Zekrom have been left alone for quite some time (hell, Charizard and Lugia were considered Darkhorses since I first found the site), despite being the mascots of their respective generations. So the site hasn\'t really draw that line between mascots and regular Pokemon, or at least they don\'t consider mascots to be main characters in the same sense as they would Link. So that\'s something to question and consider if you want to address that.
