This is really dumb. Fire Emblem, until Awakening, was not a very popular IP on the west. Why would you discourage people into buying two versions? In Pokemon it works because the game is based on trading and battling with other people, it's supposed to be a multiplayer experience. You're not supposed to buy both versions, you only need one and find a friend with the other version, that's the point of the pokemon versions. Fire Emblem is a single player game, every attempt they made to add multiplayer was insignificant to the main experience. The bad news just keep coming...

Fire Emblem is a single player franchise with heavy emphasis on storytelling. 2 stories told from 2 point of views, 2 games. That makes more sense than having every pokemon data in both cartridge, but some blocked so that you need to have friends that play the game.

I don't agree with that. From that point of view, every game that has an story that can be affected and moddified by the player's choices would need to branch itself into two or more games on the bigger choices. It's like making two games with the Sacred Stones because Eirika's and Efhraim's stories are separated during most of the game. The two editions in Pokemon are there to guarantee that, if you want to camplete the game, you'll need to find another pokemon user with the opposite edition at least once, encouraging the social aspects of the game.
