[mondays suck]

In my current Platinum playthrough, I named myself BUGS! because I'm using them and uncreative, and gave my rival one of these standard names, probably Barry.
Edit: No, actually I named him Noob, and forgot about it...

 

[PKMN Trainer Red!]

[rockman0]

I named myself Dee. I'm always Dee.

On Pearl, my rival's name was Tommy.
On Platinum, my rival's name is Barry.

 

[moon]

[BlackRay]

Plat. Joy and Barry
Diamond. Pika and Gravel (I hate Gravelers)

Un-creative Platinum and pearl don't you think??

 

[Mirei]

I used to name myself my actual name in the Pokemon games, and my rival's name is their actual name for the game. But now, I decided to change my mind.

In Platinum, I named myself "Cerina," my new default name for all Pokemon games, and my rival's name is "Edan." The names also tie in with a fanfic I'm also working on. ^^;;

 

[Gary Oak FTW]

In Diamond, i'm Ethan and my rival is Barry
In Platinum, i'm Ethan and my rival is Ninja.(friend's nickname)

 

[CarvedHyperbeam]

Me-Dawn(Girl)
Rival-Tyson(Guy)

 

[ConnoRAWR]

Me: Connor
Rival: Gavin
I thought the rival's name from the anime was gavin so i put that down only to realise that he's name is barry *headdesk*

 

[.Ozymandias]

Platinum & Diamond - I'm Bailey, he's Barry
Pearl - I'm Adrian (female!) and he's Ralph

 

[SCV058]

Ashe- its a pun on my favorite type- Fire
Rival- Toucan (I name all my rivals that)

 

[♣Gawain♣]

I named myself Brent in both Pearl and Platinum, and the rival's name in Pearl is Walther, in Platinum is Dante.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Me- Hunter, cause it sounds cool to me.
Rival- Damian, because it also sounds cool to me.

 

[chocolademelk]

On my Diamond game, I named myself Leia (woo Princess Leia!) and I forget the rival ^^; I just restarted Platinum and named myself Laika (after, um, the Russian dog breed that was used by the soviets to test out their spaceships... it sounds cool as a name, though XD) and just picked one of the listed names for my rival-- Nolan!

 

[gunjackSmoker]

Myself Jack and my rival Olly after a friend.

 

[xxashxx]

In both Pokemon Diamond and Pearl I name my trainer ASH and my Rival Gary. I have always done this since I got my Fire Red Versiond and I did it in every version I have. I renamed them after the characters in the show but have not done a Misty Character or I would have done that too.:)

 

[Halberdier]

I always use my given name as my self, and the default as the rival, except sometimes when I substitute in the names of pokemon special characters (often a colour or precious metal or mineral).
