Curious name changes

[Chad Power]

They decided to change Grenseal's name to Grenshiel, but they kept Blackman as Blackman, but made him white (I think).

Blackman's race is unchanged, to be clear. Contrast with other official art of him from back then and you'll realize he always had the mustache in the original, and from there it'll make things more obvious. The old portrait is just badly paletted.

Grenseal vs Glenshiel is p. weird though. Either one is accurate but they may have wanted to avoid his name being confused with some kind of object or something.

Edit: His name being a reference to Glen Shiel does make some sense in hindsight.

Gurenshiru would fit Glenshiel if he's meant to reference Glen Shiel
