Tbh I wouldn't have minded if his name had been kept as Satoshi. I mean, Iris and Serena kept their Japanese names after all.
The thing is though, Iris and Serena (and Lillie) aren't actually Japanese names, Satoshi is. In fact, their names are more English. This could be the reason why their names were kept for the English localization of both the games and anime.
