Like if you were to put their picture, could they say the name?
At first I thought Lara Croft, but I think a lot of people would call her Tomb Raider so I say Chun-Li

Lara Croft probably.

Chun Li, Peach, Zelda, Samus, Tifa after that.

Lara Croft because of the Tomb Raider movie(s).

Beyond her, I'd say Princess Peach (likely known only as "the princess" to non-gamers) or Ms. Pac-Man.

Nah, I think they would refer to her as "Tomb Raider," "the Tomb Raider," "the girl from Tomb Raider," or "the woman from Tomb Raider."

Nah, they're very visually distinct, the character is also obviously gendered. Also wtf do kids know, anyway, like wtf kind of nonsense standard are you trying to set? It's blatantly the right answer.

Young people don't know shit, again what kind of shitass parameters are you setting with this? Minecraft would win if you're trying to target kids.

Young adults would absolutely know and kids don't know shit so they wouldn't affect the results anyway. I get discussing but you're beating a dead horse, you have your answer.

Peach and Lara Croft are the only correct answers. Zelda? She looks different in every single game and people only recognize the name because it is literally in the franchise title (but they probably refer to Link as Zelda. Ms. Pacman is iconic but certainly not as well-known as Peach "the princess" or Lara Croft "tomb raider"

Funny you should mention Misty since they threw her and Brock under the bus today with the new movie that was to remake Ash's adventures in Kanto. He's got new buddies with one using a Lucario and the other using a Incidroar.

Yeah really. Out of those, only Peach would get any kind of recognition from non gamers.

When I was a kid, they called them "Nintendos"

When I was a teenager, they called them "xbox"

Now they call every mobile device "ipads"

It's fairly obviously Lara Croft.

If you're saying it's not correct if they call her 'the one from Tomb Raider' then Peach and Zelda would get no votes whatsoever.

And yes, people saying Zelda thinking Link is Zelda don't count.

if you're using official video game art, the one people are most likely to recognize is probably Peach.

If you're doing Cosplay or just describing characters, it's probably Lara Croft.
