Varion. For my name, it's my fursona's name, my internet name, and my irl nickname <3

As for the rival, if we get the option, It'll be scrawl. It's more of an inside joke to do with my Fursona Varion.

I always use my own name. It helps me feel more immersed in the game when people are calling me by my actual name.

I might name myself Klein, which is a shortening of the username I usually use on the internet (see above :P ) but more likely I'll use Nikolas, since there isn't enough space to use Nicholas :P If the default names are cool, I might just use the default name but I have rarely done that.

If there is character customization: My name or a name that I like, but probably default name for rival.

If there is no character customization: Default names.

I think I'll just use my name for the boy (my choice) but if I end up using the girl, then maybe Amelia, idk why, I just like that name xD

I just go with my IRL nickname for X and Y. In the past, I'd use the names of the main female character in the anime, i.e. in GSC I named myself Marina, RSE May, and DPPt Dawn. I have restarted most of those games since then and just inserted my own.

Well, obviously I'll be using the girl...and I'll name myself Megan like I always have in every game I played. I may lean towards my irl name, but I feel attached to Megan better.

If I play as a boy, it'd be either Tyler, Thunder, or Bob. Well, I like Bob better. lol

I'll probably change it up, I've used my middle name for most Pokémon games because it's short and simple; but this time around I'll be using Sakura. I've found a liking for the name and what it means.

As always, I'll play with the female and name her Vianey, after my real name.
It's not a common name and it's been the same since Yellow, so why change now?
If I chose the boy, I'll probably name him Daniel (just because I like that name)

Tman. When I play Pokémon, I feel he is my alter ego, my second half. Helps to get lost in the games and ignore the BS of life :P

I've named myself the names I like. And depending on the sex I choose for my character, of course.

Although, in White 2 I named myself my real name. And to be honest, I did like the experience. But, I prefer using other names that I like more than my real name.

Some of my more recent names include Cody, William, Sophie, Tente, among others. I think I'll do Peter next. Or Maanasa, if I choose female. (From the trailer, it appears the female is Caucasian/Japanese but I don't caaaaaaaaare~.)
