>The only way to convince this schmuck is to wait for the Ado/Adeleine post to come out on the Japanese Kirby Twitter's Dedede Directory, and hope HAL won't reiterate the bullshit "gee, they MIGHT be the same but we dunno, it's not like we're the fucking developers" schtick.
The good news is you probably won't have to wait too long since the Dedede directory is generally going in game order with few exceptions and nearing the end of the KDL3 characters (KLD2/KDL3 Dark Matter was just released the other day, so Zero is likely next). They will most certainly use Ado/Adeleine to bridge the KDL3 & K64 characters. Given the Twitter account is actually run by HAL directly and not outsourced to a third-party like the Japanese artbooks, and the fact that the artwork they release only shows the Adeleine design even among obscure series females, they will probably take the opportunity to confirm Adoleine. There is literally nothing to gain from keeping this tired charade up any longer. Of course, I could be wrong and they might have Dedede say something along the lines of, "Oh, I THINK Adeleine is Ado, but I'm not sure," because Shinya Kumazaki thrives on giving out theorybait to lorewhores for attention. Just have to cross your fingers they don't shit the bed on this one chance I guess.
