SwSh “Name” the player characters

Have they ever used the official names in pre-release? I still remember that in the ORAS demo the player was named Orlando for some reason.
the only time the PC names are made 'officially canon' is when the opposite gendered PC appears as an NPC in some fashion. the promotional names used are not their characters' names.
 
I don't believe those are going to be the actual names in game. (tbf I don't think they will actually appear as NPC:s in game since it'd be weird when you run around with other players in the wild area that look the same.) It's probably similar to when they showed off the PSS in XY and the PC:s portaits showed up with the names Xavier and Yvonne.
 
Victor is my Pokemon role play OC which I based on myself and created a few years ago who is dressed similarly to the male SwSh MC...

I don’t know how to react to this.

Game Freak is eerily good at stealing ideas from its fans and repurposing them

I came up with the idea of a dark world devoid of light beyond the Ultra Wormhole, with a tower powered by a forsaken god about a year before USM details were revealed

Still haven't gotten my check in the mail

There are huge roleplays of me as Victor on a Pokemon website, and my ace as usual was a Raichu... and Raichu was the first Pokemon that Dynamaxed (I remember it being the first, is it someone else?). My character wore a plain red top which I imagined to be fairly similar to SwSh Male Protag's outfit.

I guess it’s going to be the easiest game to self-insert into for me. A bit more eerie detail is it being the UK region since I’ve always fantasised about leaving my present life an do beginning new in London with Victor as my alias...
 
Tarzan and Jane
John and Rose
The Doctor and The Doctor
Rory and Amelia/Amy

In seriousness though For Japanese maybe Tsurugi for the boy since that means sword.

That’s about all I got since there are literally dozens of names that mean warrior and protector and stuff like that.

my name is in there.



My two ones:

Derrick & Elizabeth
 
Owen and Emily/Emma.

I tried to come up with two names as British as humanly possible :p

I like those, especially Emily. I hink John and Sarah are probably the two most common names I hear; pretty sure I know at least 5 of each
 
Henry and Mary are my guess on what their names could be.
I think Emily is a good one too and perhaps Beth.
I can't think of other male names. The guy just looks like a Henry to me.
