1st Gen What did you name your character and rival in Pokemon Yellow?

[pyx]

I always call myself Nai in any pokemon game. As for my rival, well, better not mention it here XD (It´s foul anyway)

 

[Kikaito plush]

When i first got my copy of Pokemon Yellow, i was a 5 year old kid. Obviously, i had to name my protah Ash and my Rival Gary, no doubt!

 

[Fernbutter]

I had named myself Daniel, and my rival Gabriel. I have no clue why or what was I thinking but whatever.

 

[Pokemon_Fangirl]

I called them Ash and Gary since it was based more on the anime. Besides, I was already calling them that in Red because I didn't know back then that the games are supposed to be a separate universe from the anime.

 

[MainstreamMew]

I always named my character after me and the rival if he was a male after my little brother.

 

[sweets]

Apparently a lot of people have done this too, but I named Red after me and my rival after my brother, even though I'm a girl so it was a Red with a girl's name, hehe

 

[Homura Akemi]

I named my rival in Gold/Crystal ???. I mean, the game said his name was ???, so I'll go with ???.





cmon, ??? is an awesome name.

 

[Guardian]

In Yellow, Gary, cos I am nice. In Crystal, ASSHAT, cos the guy is an asshat. :D

 

[Captain Gizmo]

I named myself Ash and I named my rival Gary, since Yellow is based on the anime :P

 

[Boured]

Name myself my name and my rival my friends name to feel like I was part of the game:3

 

[Melty~]

I named the trainer Cecil (after Final Fantasy IV's Cecil Harvey) and my rival Zemus (after the true enemy).

 

[Auric]

I'd always go with my own name, Matt, as the hero's name and then the rival would always be Gary. :P

 

[RedMort]

Gary, it was the typical, and had not much imagination name at that time xD

 

[acatfrommars]

Oh man, many different names haha. I normally would name it my brother's name when I was younger, so Daniel. Or I would name it my best friend's name, Chance. The last time I played, I named him Rico for some strange reason. xp

 

[Pepperton]

Normally, I named him after myself and the rival after my brother. However, one run I went completely canon and named the player Red and the rival Gary. I also tried catching various Pokemon that Ash did in the Kanto anime, and it was a fun little way to play through the old generation. n__n;

 

[thebaum64]

I also named my rival Gary :)

 

[WhiteLioness]

Well I just got the game yesterday, and I named myself Ash and my rival Gary, because it loosely follows the anime.

I'd name mine either ass, pinhead, bigbutt, or loser. Sorry. I know those names are funny (if you have my sense of humor). He was my rival so I thought I'd treat him as the enemy outright.

 

[WhiteLioness]

In Yellow, Gary, cos I am nice. In Crystal, ASSHAT, cos the guy is an asshat. :D

Lol you sound just like me. :D
