Trainer names.

[vizforte]

I was wondering, as I made yet another trainer in Ruby today, before I let my kid have it.. -whispers- I needed a female treecko, so I restarted the game I beat. lol

But in my making of a new trainer who has already been saved over,... I was curious about the rest of you. Do you always make the trainer the same name, is the trainers name mood based, or do you always -like my kid does- just name it as per the Anime?

I personally have had about 30 names throughout the series, ABEL, KANE, ASH, Kim, Asterce, Jack, Treeko (the treecko made one), Masavo, Bettina, thats just a few, some i've used over and over. like ABEL, also shows up as Abel, and Able. I always do a redo on the trainer names. Since the trainer graphics have been kinda similar the last 2 gens, I was going to once I get DP keep an older name. I kind of did that when I got Leaf Green, had that one named Abel, since Abel was the name of the trainer in Blue, Leaf green is the blue remake. Made sense yes.

Anyways, how about you all, do you get a new trainer name each time, or do you stick with it, to keep an illusion and allure that you are the same person, in a new world?

Unless I'm restarting on a playful note and naming everything after a certain fandom, I use the same name. For my main games, it's always "Erica" which is my real name. I'm not sure why, but I just like it that way. It's weird because in every other game I try to use defaults wherever possible.

Almost exactly what my answer would be, save for the fact that my name is "Billy."

In every Pokemon game I've got, in addition to Zelda: Ocarina of Time, I have named my character Billy. When I run through again I tend to pick different names, though. "Sabrina" was popular in FrLg, as I chose the girl trainer, and her namesake was my favourite gym leader. =D

I make a new one each time. Okay,I don't like having someone with the same name. So I have to think for minutes on end. I'll just go "Whitney...Amber..Cheryl....Yuko...Sakura...Elise." and on until I name a name I like and think it will fit.

 

[Vavavoom ♣]

Well, if I play as a boy, my name is Cedrik. I always pick my real name. :3 If I play as a girl, my name is Wendy because I love this name. ^^ I don't really take all my life picking a name.

 

[Kotowari]

I usually pick my own name. Except when that doesn't work, like when the main character is Male. Then I usually pick the name of the anime. Like in Gold I called him "Kenta". In Crystal, I called the female character "Crystal" 'cause I don't like "Marina".
In R/S/E it would be May or Brendan.

For other games, I always pick the name that the main character usually has, if I know it. x3

 

[joyce : the fluffy pirate~]

I always use my surname.
I like to imagine that I'm a real trainer xD

[ even male ones get 'Joyce' as name o-o ]

 

[Ichida]

I have always used my handle, Ichida, for my character, except for when I played Emerald. I thought I'd try the female trainer for a change, so I named her after my girlfriend, lol.

 

[diamondpearl876]

I always name it after myself (Kris). When I was younger I use to name it after my favorite anime characters.. >_>

 

[Lone--Wanderer]

Eh. I've always been just Lone.

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

I've always had either my nickname Lati or my full name Latifah


:t354:TG

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

I named myself XohnX in Pokemon Emerald, and Pokemon Diamond.
It feels like a unique name to me.

 

[Hawke]

I hate using default names :/. I usually use Hawke for my chars (except on second go thrus I tend to name my chars with names that I feel more fitting to their personality since I know what it is then), but in the case of D/P I refuse to be seen controlling a char with such a nasty hat, so I play the female. My first one was gene, my second Raven and my third installment is Grace.

 

[Ichida]

in the case of D/P I refuse to be seen controlling a char with such a nasty hat, so I play the female.

To you I pose the same ultimatium I say to every man who shrugged off the male trainer because of the hat: would you rather wear that same beret IRL, or get a full gender change? Think about that.

 

[Rivvon]

My name was always "NIKI", except on Pearl where I'm "Niki" xD

 

[Shinji_]

I always Make my player named Jerome, considering that it's my real name.

 

[Thunderchu]

Mines normally Jonny.some time JONNY. :P

When i get my first electric Pokémon i call it Thunderchu. :P

 

[Latios&Latias381382]

The newest anime girl Dawn!!!! Used to be after my recent favorite pokemon.
