Master Trainer Empoleon

Since I have Diamond,I name my rival Yoshi,because in my opinion,he looks like a Yoshi to me...
BTW,If anyone else asks which Pokemon I started with,please go far,far away! Nah jk,but it's very obvious,what pokemon I started with.
Anyways,what did you guys name your rival?

May 6th, 2007, 07:46 AM
I chose Markus, I don't know why, it just seemed like his name was markus.
Autaven
May 6th, 2007, 08:42 AM
Damien. No idea why really, my boyfriend suggested it. He named his the same.
Myzou
May 6th, 2007, 08:52 AM

Anyways, I named mine Wally in pearl and Tyson (or Barry) in Diamond, can't remember which, rarely play diamond.
Autaven

yoshikiller995
May 6th, 2007, 10:16 PM
I named mine Kay, I have no idea why, he just became Kay.
Reine Blair
May 6th, 2007, 10:40 PM
I named my rival Kyle, after one of my friends on here. I was thinking about naming him Zack after one of my other friends, but Kyle sounded better.
I have to say, my name is better than what my brother named his rival: Loser!!
GrieVelorn
May 6th, 2007, 10:51 PM
i named him my rival/brothers nickname Vince, then he named his rival my nickname...
OrochiSaKu
May 6th, 2007, 10:57 PM

Rivvon
May 6th, 2007, 11:00 PM
I took one look at him and thought, "He looks like a Taro o.o" so that's what I named him. >.> So yeah, my rival's name is Taro...
jakachuy
May 6th, 2007, 11:31 PM
I named him Padme. Because he has odd looking hair.
Bomberman
May 7th, 2007, 02:13 AM
Harris, because the first thing I noticed was his hair.
But if I could do it again it'd be Bort (not Bart, Bort), from that classic Simpsons episode.
powurz
May 7th, 2007, 03:32 AM
I named mine Bobbert. Don't ask, ahaha. It's an inside joke.
Niwa

Jirachi3
May 8th, 2007, 02:45 AM

Mikuru

Seifer
May 8th, 2007, 03:08 AM
I named him Sai, from one of my favourite Naruto characters. Besides the fact that it was the first name I thought up of, and chose it rather quickly so I could start with the adventure.
Jirachi3
May 8th, 2007, 03:08 AM
*eats cookie anyways* yea i figured...."what the hell" and named him that. Now, i laugh whenever i battle him and it says "rival, Sh!t head"
flyingace24
May 8th, 2007, 04:08 AM
I named my rival Cloud (and my name was Aeris). I like FFVII.
Crimson Arcanine

I laugh every single time, it's great. xDDD!!!
Gilgαmesh
May 8th, 2007, 11:01 AM
Well, I picked one of the defaults. I named him "Tyler"
Yesh, quite bland that I have to pick one of the defaults, but I suck at naming, so I had no choice to. xD
Richard Lynch
May 8th, 2007, 02:47 PM
Took me a while to think of a name, because I'm neurotic about my Rival... but I settled for:
Alan
I always have named my Rival the same thing every time I play the games for each generation.
First: Stanley
Second: Tom
Third: May (don't have a choice)
Fourth: Alan
It fits!
Luminous_Reaver
May 8th, 2007, 02:59 PM
I named him my real name so I could win even if I lost.
Sana
May 8th, 2007, 03:20 PM
I named him my real name so I could win even if I lost.
That's awesome. XD
Anyway, my rival's name is William. He's the bad guy from my stories. Lame, I know. I should've named him Willie instead. The rival seems more like a Willie. Silly thing. ;p
kewlgabe
May 8th, 2007, 03:51 PM
I first named mine Gabe but that got to confusing for me so I named him Yellow.
Jirachi3
May 8th, 2007, 03:55 PM
lol yellow xD my bro just named his 80085 (for those of you who dont speak 1337 that translates to boobs)
Ichaste Pekoni
May 8th, 2007, 04:03 PM
I named him my real name so I could win even if I lost.
Nice.
I just went with default names. I'm just generally bad with naming. And I don't really care what his name is: a rose by any other name will lose just as badly XD.
yaminokaitou
May 8th, 2007, 09:17 PM
I named my guy Chris because....he looked like a Chris.
Not very original I know, but it doesn't sound bad with Lucas. ^^;;
Volkner's Apprentice
May 8th, 2007, 09:53 PM
I like choosing the default names, thats what they're there for. Plus I hate the randomness 73h2e8hf!..ha. I chose Clint, that looked like a blond "hot-head"...o.o
Litrid
May 8th, 2007, 09:55 PM

Ketchup n Mustard
May 10th, 2007, 02:31 AM
Eh, I named him Markus, I was just pressing the A button quickly because I was too excited to make a real decision... lol, in G/S/C I named the rival "naked" just because there was some trainer on route something or other that would say "Some naked guy came around and made fun of my Pokemon!" I was like, nine, and I sure got a kick out of that, XD
Richard
May 10th, 2007, 02:51 AM
Atom, after my nephew(Who named his rival after me).
We've done that ever since the Red/Blue days.
Corranhorn
May 10th, 2007, 02:53 AM
I named mine Tyler then the like the second trainer I came across on a route and battled in the game was named Tyler. :P
Hippo
May 10th, 2007, 03:20 AM
Brian, after my brother.
I dunno what he named his... but I don't think its me.
PokemonXP
May 10th, 2007, 03:46 AM
I think his "official" name is Damion. He looked like a Damion to me, so I named him that.
Typhoon
May 10th, 2007, 04:21 AM
I had no ideas at the time so I named him gary... lmao

Cosmic Tyrant
May 11th, 2007, 03:20 AM
Meh I named my rival Terry. No clue why, but it just seemed like an appropriate name for him.
Aquarain
May 11th, 2007, 04:58 PM
I named my rival, Ash. I don't know why, I think because he just reminded me of Kanto Ash.
Shiny Umbreon
May 11th, 2007, 05:52 PM
I have Diamond, so my rival is Pearl. (Not so original)
Caleb290
May 11th, 2007, 06:13 PM
I named him tyson but it would have been funny to be named "yourself" then it would say you beat your self :D lol
Phani
July 5th, 2007, 07:51 AM
I named mine "Jose", which is a second nickname for one of my friends who has Diamond.

Lightmanaphy
July 5th, 2007, 08:05 AM
My rival's name is Tommy, because at the time of me starting my diamond version i wanted to hurry up and play so i just picked any ranom name off the top of my head!
Craig²
July 5th, 2007, 08:06 AM
I named my rival Ichigo. xD (from Bleach)
I just thought he looked like an Ichigo to me, even though he lacked insane orange hair and a scowl. Lol.
I named myself Ayame. It's my roleplay-character, by the way.
Trace
July 5th, 2007, 08:08 AM
I went with "Tyler", my best friend's name.
PattySweets4
July 5th, 2007, 08:16 AM
Trevor... because we started the game at the same time and so we chose each other as rivals.
Chompah :x
July 5th, 2007, 08:26 AM

Eureka1
July 5th, 2007, 11:10 AM

wolfie1177

Narutonoor
July 5th, 2007, 02:24 PM
I chose Matt, my best friend.
In G/S/C I'd name my rival ******* or faggot though cause you know, he was lol.
He stole the pokemon and then thought he was all badass >>
Extric
July 5th, 2007, 02:32 PM
My Diamond rival is named John. Just some random name (Which happens to be my favorite name. I'm not real sure why though), but I think I did it because my character is named after me Joseph and I like the thought of us being J&J.
My Pearl rival is Lance. This is another name that I like a lot and I couldn't think of another name that I liked.
☼Charlie☼
July 5th, 2007, 02:48 PM
My Diamond rival is Tyson, I chose it because it was on the list of names and I really didn't care what his name was.

July 5th, 2007, 03:27 PM
Damien, because I didn't really want to spend half an hour thinking of a cool name for him. :P

Vampy-Chan
July 5th, 2007, 05:01 PM

Sakurah
July 5th, 2007, 08:07 PM
I named mine 'Shou', after one of my crush.
Even though I don't like my crush anymore, I still like the name Shou. Plus it's the name of one of the member of Alice Nine 8D.
Not only that, but I think the name Shou fits 'Rival'.
ShadowTails
July 5th, 2007, 08:09 PM
*drumroll* I named him... Diamond... *shot* (I'm playing Pearl so yeah I usually name them the opposite color or their Manga name.)
Shiny Umbreon
July 5th, 2007, 08:35 PM
Named him Pearl. Not too creative, but I like to carry on with the tradition. Yeah, I'm named Diamond.
Dawg 2005
July 5th, 2007, 08:36 PM
I named mine Bobbert. Don't ask, ahaha. It's an inside joke.
I've got a friend who I call Bobbert... XD
On Diamond, I named him Jacob, because that's what I always name my rival. It's after my friend. On Pearl, it's Nick, because I couldn't think of a name, so I asked my friend, Nick, and he... said Nick. XD

Vision, is the name of my frivaliend
Chaolin
July 6th, 2007, 03:58 AM
Tom because my friend in real life (his name is Tom as well) is kind of my rival. Actually, he's more like my best friend than a rival but it's fun to see his name there. As for their personalities, they are completely opposite.
Alizée Jacotey
July 6th, 2007, 04:00 AM
My rival name is Julio like my bro and he named his rival Erick like my name

Tacharine
July 6th, 2007, 05:43 PM

I thought the rival was going to be like gary, only a lot more boring, so, when it asked me, I thought, "Simon Cowell!" and named him that.
I was WAY off.
