Named myself Gary and just named my rival Silver. Gary is my favorite anime character and I couldn't think of a better name for Silver so that's how I came up with those.
Me, I named my character Marisa (A name I'd rather have as my own. Plus to me she kind of looks like one).
My rival, I named Ruben. (It sounds like a tough guy name I find.)
I usually only nickname the Pokemon I use most frequently.
Name: Maxine (Original Silver I was named Max, so I went with a female variation of it). Rival: ??? (Ah yes. I was one of those silly kids who named him that in their original game. Did it for nostalgia's sake) Pokemon: Feraligatr: Cooly (Nostaliga again. I thought Feraligatr looked cool when it evolved. :B) Ampharos: Denryuu (Eh. just the japanese name. nothing special) Bellossom: Lucia (Named after my pair) Houndoom: Conan (from Detective Conan/Case Closed) Espeon: Red (My espeons will always be named Red) Aerodactyl: Aero (Red's Aerodactly is named Aero, so I just took that. :V)
My name was my real name, my rival's name was Baker (it always has been, I can't remember why but since about Crystal version, before that it was named after either my brother or this really annoying cousin I had) and my Pokémon had no nicknames (I don't tend to name my Pokémon because if I ever start EV training I'll end up putting them in the PC and it'll seem like a waste of a name).
I named myself OMER, my rival SILVER (it was that, Susan or something obscene, I can't remember XD; ) and I never nicknamed my Pokemon. The problem with nicknaming my Pokemon is that I forget to nickname all of them and then things start to look irregular, so I just leave the Pokemon as they are. :3
