Name the next pair of main series games
 
Excluding remakes, if it were up to you, what do you think would be good names for the next pair of main series games?

(Stream of consciousness)
Hm. Names them based on the box legendaries. Relates to paired items.
- Land/Sea. No. Describes Generation 3.
- Salt/Pepper. Not serious enough.
- Hot/Cold. ...Maybe?
- Thunder/Lightning. No. See: Thundurus and Tornadus.
- Body/Soul. Intriguing.
- Cloak/Dagger. No. Too close to a sword.
- Life/Death. No. Too dark for Pokemon, even with a new title.
- Fame/Fortune. Likes where the idea could go.

...Wait. Essentially used Body/Soul with Heartgold/Soulsilver.

- Young/Old. Not a bad idea.
- Romeo/Juliet. Could not name it that. Works as a theme, perhaps.

Selects Fame/Fortune. Imagines legends of a Pokemon that will grant either fame or fortune. Presents characters that deal with both seeking fame/fortune and handling it. Sets up a fairly obvious evil organization. Meshes with trainer types like Rising Star, Photographer, and Reporter splendidly.

they might need to come up with one more name since those 2 are the same thing

Azure/Orange or Crimson/Indigo for old school colour names. Maybe even Brown/Grey, but they're a bit dull for naming after, honestly.

As for some misc. dualistic concepts:
North/South
East/West
Spring/Autumn
Summer/Winter
Heat/Cold
Sweet/Sour
Zenith/Nadir
Obtuse/Acute
Hammer/Chisel

Maybe even Eyes/Ears or Arms/Legs.

That's the best part! They only come as a dual pack worth 120$ and there are absolutely 0 differences!

Pokemon Alpha and Omega could be interesting I guess. Since Arceus was named as the Alpha Pokemon, I've often wondered if they'd ever make an Omega Pokemon to offset it.

Mind and Body
Positive and Negative

I like this one! Interesting possibilities here. Though at the same time, it doesn't really come off as the name we'd get for main series games to me? Making them sound official is a bit harder than you'd expect haha.

We already have OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire, I can't imagine them doing alpha and omega since it's been done in a way already?

Pokémon Fire and Ice because why not

Pokémon Bass and Treble. I don't know, I just like music themes.
