[B2/W2] What did you name yourself,your rival and your pokemon?Why?

[Tanaie]

Name: Hannah (Because it's my actual name. Lol.)

Rival name: Misaki (After the main character from Junjou Romantica. I am VERY glad I named him this...It suits him well. 8D Tehehehe...)

[PikachuAddict]

I was boring and named the player character Richard, and kept the name Hugh for the rival.

[Wind Heart]

Name: Wind (I think this name is nice)
Rival: Troy (inspired from reading a fanfiction)

[dieter57]

Oh I named myself ASH like always. It's been a tradition since my yellow version and I just stuck with it. Plus all my pokemon have the same OT haha.

[Steve119]

Well, My rivals name is Noda, it's the last name of my childhood best friend, coudnt do Fernando because it would'nt fit, hated that me and my family moved,

[Sweet Smoochum]

Nate and Hugh. But I prefer the save file where I named the rival, Clark instead.

[mozartm99]

Me-Smith
Not sure why, but that name has recently been my name for all of my pokemon games.

Rival-larenzo
Same reason as my name.

Pokemon-I don't name those.

[Recruit173]

Player name: Harry
Rival name: Draco

I named all of my Pokemon after creatures in Harry Potter, such as my trusty machop being Dolby and my Snivy being named Slytherin. The only exception is a shiny Mewtwo I received in a trade whom was already named Sloppy Joe.

[SaniOKh]

Me: Alex (my name)
Rival: Matis (default French name)

I don't nickname my Pokémon... guess I'm one of the boring people :) .

[Kloun]

Black 2:
Me: Arceus (All of my games are named after pokemon)
Rival: Neville (I just finished watching Potter Puppet Pals)
White 2:
Me: Pikachu
Rival: Gary

I just use random names for my pokemon. I name all of my grass types Fudge, though.
Some of my favorite names include Dobby the Sawk (geddit?) and Unholy the Geodude.

[Ultimate PKMN Trainer Red]

Me: Jay. (That's my real name. XD)
Rival: Randy. (That's my favorite wrestler's name)

And I don't name my Pokemons, except Pikachu, I always name him Pika.

[CarcharOdin]

Me:Tyler (half my real name)
Rival:Hugh

I don't name my Pokemon.

[Hamako-chan]

I think I named my character Hamako, since that is my PC username.
I left the name of the rival default, no point changing the name.

[Pikapia]

For myself, I'm called Zara... and obviously a girl.
For my rival, I believe I called him Spike. Probably because of his spikey personality... and his hair. xD
For my Pokémon, I only named my Tepig/Pignite/Soon-to-be-Emboar Flame. I've always had a fire starter called Flame. For he rest of the Pokémon I catch, I leave their names alone. In White though, I LOVE naming Pokémon! But for a Pikachu or a Piplup, or even a legendary Pokémon, I leave their names alone too.

[Raichupacabra]

Me: Jonny, since Jonathan couldn't fit.

Rival: Hugh

And I don't name my Pokemon, so yeah~

[mozartm99]

I have named a few guys in white 2.

My Pidove is Si. (if you know what that is from it might make a tiny bit of sense)

I named my Riolu Jet (I didn't wanna us Sokka for him)

And in black two I just caught a female exadrill that I named Toph.

[Arlo]

Myself: Bob. That's what I always name my character in Pokemon games. Or pretty much any games, for that matter.

Rival: Hugh. Because it's the default, and when I say that "Hugh blah blah blah," people should immediately know who I mean.

Pokemon: Other than solo runs or nuzlockes or the like, I don't nickname. I go through far too many pokemon - catching and training and evolving and trying out movesets and putting them on my team and taking them off my team - to come up with anywhere near enough good nicknames.

[indazone445]

Main Character: Brandon (my real name in almost every Pokemon game I play)
Rival: Suckit (because most of the rivals are just plain jerks, and because I always defeat them)
Mudkip: Tidal Wave
Tailow: Skyward (named after the Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword for some reason)
Numel: Tambora (just because it sounds cool)
Magikarp: Worthless (because he is)
Chimchar (Inferno because it sounds cool)

Team:
Revolver the Samurott - Because Revolver Oshawott.

[Miss Anne Thrope]

Not really started on my White 2 yet, but here's what I've planned.

Pokemon:
Clefable - Pixie (obviously because Clefable is based off of a pixie/fairy type critter.)
Typhlosion - Simone (after my favorite singer.)
Togekiss - Fondue (this is if I manage to get a shiny, which is a light fondue color. I'm not sure what I'll name it if I can't get a hold of one.)
