>>39812616Thing is, none of the protags other than Kris, Red and Leaf are named in reference to the game titles
Ethan and Lyra are named after music
May and Brendan are kinda random but they have nothing to do with Ruby or Sapphire
Dawn and Lucas are named after light
Hilda and Hilbert are named after fighting
Rosa and Nate are named after resonate duh
Calem and Serena are named after calmness
Chase and Elaine are named after movement
The fact Selene and Elio are clear references to Sun and Moon makes them more similar to placeholder names like Blair/Whitlea, Xavier/Yvonne and Orlando/Anna than to the real ones
Ray and Ayley fit better with the others because they share a theme (also light) without being direct references to the the titles
