White 2
Me: Ice (Self-Explanatory)
Rival: Heugh (Title of this video)

Starter:
Oshawott: "Revolver" (Revolver Oshawott)

[Mithel_Celestia]

Trainer Name: Jester (an altered version of my real name Jessie; I am male by the way.)
Rival Name: Kage ( he looks like someone who is named Kage.)
Team Names:
Oshawott: Aulis ( After a location in the Iliad learned about in out english class. Aulis is a location with Strong winds and Dangerous Tides.)

Trapinch (Initial name): Quicksand ( after its ability to create sand pit traps.)

Trapinch (Current name): Lahar (a very destructive mud flow caused by volcanic ash and river water mixing.)

Volcarona: Helios (after Greek name of sun.)

Mienshao: Kaiser (ran out of names to think up. I dont know what it means.)

two other members are pre-named and traded, so i wont include them here.

EDIT: One more member is added

Archen: Pteryx (after Archeopteryx, real world first bird.)

[MrTripStack]

Player: MTS
Rival: Sam

I named myself MTS, as a shortened version of MrTripStack, which is my typical gaming name. I named the rival Sam after my cousin that I've been playing through the game with (his rival is named MTS).

I also have two HM slaves, Tangrowth and Jellicent, named "HM Slave 1" and "HM Slave 2" respectively. These two Pokémon can learn all the HMs (and Flash) besides Fly, which is always in my team anyway.

The last Pokémon that I nicknamed is a Munna that I caught through Dream Radar, named "Daydreamer" because I always use her to do the Dream World stuff.

I don't typically nickname Pokémon, besides my various "tool Pokémon", which includes any Pokémon that serve a certain purpose. I might catch a Ditto and nickname him "Sex Blob", or something.

[h0tshot1025]

Wow, there's a thread like this :o

Anyways, here's what I chose for names~

Player: Leia
Rival: Spike

I chose Leia because that's the closest female name to my name (I'm a guy x3)
I named the rival spike because of the hair, so spiky xD.

Team Names
Servine: Sir Perior (puns ftw)
Frillish: Fur Elise (sounds like Frillish xD)
Braviary: Brahms (just came to my mind)
Lucario: Anubis (the Egyption Dog headed God)

A little something I made~

[Nes-One]

My character's name: Nes I always use this name for some reason
Rival's Name: Hugh cause I was lazy and just wanted to start playing

White 2 Team:
Serperior (m): Tojo I don't name I just went with the same nickname for my blaze black serperior
Espeon (f): Revi cause I was watching black lagoon
Braviary (m): Crews, it would've felt corny if I named in Aero or Zero
Lucario (f): Lana, I didn't want try too hard
Lapras (m): Torren cause it would've sounded weird if I named it Siena (Would've used this name is it was a female)

Umbreon (m): Nero cause it sounded cool

[Ven Bloodia]

Name - Clarice. Why? Because I was watching the movie Hannibal at the time and I wasn't gonna be naming her Hilda anytime soon.

Rival Name - Paul. Why? Because it sounded more fitting than Hugh imho and again because I was watching Hannibal at the time. I know I'm lazy but what else is new honestly lol.

Team -

Emboar - My first ever female starter named Rynya because I thought it would be cute for a Tepig at the time.

Ampharos - Named this one Zionga because that's the name for a lightning spell in Shin Megami Tensei and I was too lazy to think of anything original.

Unfezant - Called this teammate DePazzi because again I thought it would be fitting and yet again I was too lazy to think of anything original.

Genesect - Couldn't give a nickname to this one sadly but regardless it was still a wrecking ball.

Walrein - Named this one Yusuf, short for Yusuf Amir from GTA - The Ballad Of Gay Tony. Why, because I loved Yusuf Amir and I love Walrein so I might as well but 2 and 2 together.

Krookodile - By the end of the day his new name was Brucie, short for Brucie Kibbutz from GTA 4, pretty much the same reason I had when naming Walrein Yusuf.

Well there ya go. This was on Black 2 btw.

[iAML33T]

I named myself: Slick. This has been my name in the games for 2 generations. I always like playing as the boy.
My rival: Lucas. What I have named my rival in the past as well but not always.

My babies:
Emboar: Spunky. He most definitely is!

Froslass: Shiva. Pretty obvious but I think it suits her beautifully.

Beheeyem: Jedi. I'd like to think he uses The Force for his power :3

Excadrill: Excaliber. Because he is strong and the name came to me from the beginning of his species name.

Ampharos: Fender. My mind went to the coolest electric object I could think of. She's a girl but it suits her well.

Azumarill: Unfortunately my Huge Power water rabbit is nameless. Anything I thought of seemed so cliche I didn't want to give them to her. Will edit if I ever decide on one.

[AlexOzzyCake]

Me - Ozzy. Obvious reasons there!
Rival - Matt. I know a guy called Matt that bought White 2 and I'm tired of naming them all the same thing so it's a bit of variety from normal.
Snivy/Servine - Blade. It seems like a fitting name for a Servine/Serperior and my awesome friend uses that name on forums :3
Koffing - Greg. It's a flatmate of mine that coughs a lot, end of story. xD
Buneary - Kenna! The female version of Kenny which is the name of my rabbit back at home.
Eevee - Johnny. I have no idea why, it just seemed kinda fitting. x3

This was all on B2, I promise the names will get more creative soon paha. I also have one called Koligbird but I'm keeping that Pokémon's identity a secret for now for various reasons. B)

[GreenGoblin]

Named my character: Roi (my real name)
Rival: Rye (well my friend named his rival after me so I did the same for him)

My Team:
Altaria - Reine (french thing)
Ampharos- Maxwell (after the scientist)
The rest either had no nicknames or weren't nicknamed by me.

[Xeninacra]

Myself: Arqui (I always use this nickname in each game I play)
Rival: Filoso (it has a long story behind it... briefly, it comes from "filosofo", and since I could not write the full name, I shortened it to "Filoso")

My Pokemon:
- Samurott: Burbuno
- Archeops: Plumo
- Arcanine: Volqui
- Electabuzz: Truenita
- Reuniclus: Gelly

I'm still looking for my 6th and last Pokemon.

[miakalina]

Trainer Name: Sophia
Rival Name: Nick

Party Members:
Serperior - Damon
Charizard - Stephen
Vaporeon - Jeremy
Jolteon - Candace
Sandslash - Elena
Lucario - Klaus

[ChrisPretends]

Me: Chris (real name)
Oponent: Putito (Spanish for gay)
Starter: Kills

[Sydian]

I named myself Allison in Black 2 and my rival is Elijah. I like the name Allison and Hugh looks more like an Elijah...that's really it? And my team is Challa (Altaria), Mukarma (Muk), Snipe (Emboar), Charlotte (Ampharos), Alucard (Gligar), and Fiona (Swanna). They just all seemed like fitting names, really lol. I don't feel like going through my Japanese Black 2 and White 2's names though. :P

[Shiny Dunsparce]

Black II: female char (Star)
Rival? (Storm) - Seemed to fit well with his character.

My team so far:

1. Whimsicott
2. Minccino
3. Emolga
4. Mantyke
5. Reuniclus

[Valvatorez]

I chose the female trainer and named myself Serena, because every time I look at her Moonlight Densetsu starts playing in my head, and because I honestly don't like the design for the male trainer; he looks ridiculous. My rival was named Darien, for obvious reasons...although in hindsight I think Jadeite might have been a better name. I didn't bother nicknaming my Pokemon, although the urge to call my Oshawott "Revolver" was one I had to fight.

[Laugh]

I named myself Hannah, as it is my real name. My rival is Marvin, and I'm not sure why I named him that. The only Pokemon I currently have is Snivy the Snivy, as I've only just started my White 2.
