For one, the first names before the actual name tells me the best description of each character, Gold and Silver. From the original G/S/C arc, where we see a boy who is seeking out his own talent that the others have, we found his specialty to breed Pokemon, and how he has heart. It best describes him. And as for Silver, who we originally thought as this antagonist, but only was confused and misplaced. And through all of this, it is shown that he has soul. That's what I find from these remakes. The epitome of both Gold and Silver, having heart and soul, respectively.
