It's up to Nintendo of America to decide what their names are. And since they've always westernized the main characters' names in the past, there's no reason to think it'll be any different this time.
 
NOA never keeps the Japanese names.

Funnnngaaaaa
I don't think Shinji is a character in the games (Their is Lake Shinji, but that will probably be Lake *whatever Shinji means in Japanese* in the US Version).

So, PUSA will decide for Shinji (I'm thinking Sean).

Hikari, will be decided by NOA. I'm hopin for Hollie.
 
well lets hope note becuase hikari's kinda cute and shinji's more like that redhead(also giovanni's son in the game)from the g/s games.

They probably will change it to something dumb. Their voices will sound bad too.

How would we know how good or bad their voices would be?

Shinji I think will still be named after the lake so if Lake Shinji becomes Lake Water... 0_0

Hikara-April or June. They did may...

Yeah, ok!
Hikari's name will be whatever the D/P heroine is named in the games.

Shinji could be anything though. I always found it amusing how Shuu changed to Drew.

They must have been happy to have a real common english name with almost the same sound as his Japanese one.
 

Meowth! That's right!

I hate the name Hollie... it's too Christmas-y and it's like the names Molly and Polly which only sound cute on pets...

(No offense to people named any of those names...)

Anyway I hope she gets a decent name... not something like Holly or Hannah... (Actually I hate most names beginning with H...)

I hope Hikari's isn't changed. It's an easy name to remember. They might change Shinji's so that he isn't confused with the emo from NGE.
