In short, I'm starting to be convinced that this segment has too many questionable/technical appearances to be worth keeping. The first appearances section doesn't nearly have this same issue because most of the time technical debuts like Sonic, Byleth, Banjo, Roy, and Cappy are promotional for what the general public considers their true first appearance. I realize this is a really big change to suggest, but I would like you to please consider this. Like I said, Wikipedia only lists first appearances and omits latest appearances, and I have to agree with that.

:I think the issue is less "the most recent appearance thing is unnecessarily complicated", and more "it's unnecessarily complicated because people are inconsistent with what counts as a most recent appearance". Personally, if the ending consensus is that we keep it around, then I believe a set of rules would have to be established so that we aren't scrambling around from page to page arguing about stuff like "why does a Fortnite/Brawlhalla/Fall Guys costume count but not one from Super Mario Maker?". | |||
:That said, I myself am '''neutral''' on the original proposal, though I will concede that the benefits of getting rid of the most recent appearance thing outweigh the benefits of keeping it—while it may be cool to see and may point viewers to a game that they may not have known a certain character was in, updating everything constantly is nevertheless a hassle, and, at present, there are the aforementioned inconsistencies that lead to forum posts like these.
