Because of this, we also know that her English name is Selene, and Sun's Japanese and English names are Yō and Elio.

Kanto is literally a region of Japan... thus, Mizuki.

Sun looking like Calem is due to every male protag copying Lucas' Pt color scheme. Selene and Serena are a coincidence since their Japanese names couldn't be further apart. Everything else seems to convey a connection between Alola and Kalos that will probably be apparent in USUM.

Reminder that the "staff" took over a year to actually move an article for an anime episode they called a special even though everyone else called it a regular episode, which resulted in their episode numbers being one number off from everyone else's.

Already discussed within the thread, but once more from the top:
>>33158092
>>33158100
Promotional videos had a screen of player characters with the names Sun, Moon, Elio and Selene. In the Japanese equivalent video these names were Sun, Moon, Yō and Mizuki. Mizuki is the name given for the girl in the new Kotobukiya figure of her, marking the first time she is officially named in (Japanese) merchandise. People take this to mean that the names in the video are the characters' official default names.

>>33159753
The English protagonist names generally convey a similar meaning to the Japanese name (Haruka and May both being spring-related, Hikari and Dawn both being light-related, ect). The names in the trailer carry a similar pattern, which implies they're attempts at translating the names from the Japanese trailer and not just random placeholders.
