While playing Pokemon Shield, I encountered two Poke Kids, a girl and a boy, on Route 4. They are in the same area in close proximity to each other in the northeast section of the route.
As an FE fan, that really stuck out, as we know these names as the pair of mercenaries from Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. Fun!
So naturally I wondered if this was an intentional reference, or total coincidence?
Short answer: If not a coincidence, then it may be a very light localization-side reference out of opportunity. There is no JP reference however.
If interested in taking a closer look, then see below!
