    I call them names according to the manga.

    R/B/Y: Blue
    G/S/C: Silver
    R/S/E: (Unable to select the name, but if I could, female would be Sapphire, male would be Ruby)
    FR/LG: Blue (Once again)
    D/P/?: Barry

    let's see in Silver version I called him ??? the first tme cuz i thought u had to give the officer that actual name.

    I did the same thing the first time I played it.

    I usually call him loser or something like that. I think on Diamond I gave him a proper name.

    Whenever I have a choice, I always name him John.

    No Particular reason, that's just I've always named him ever since I started playing Pokemon when Red and Blue came out.

    Red Version - Froot (don't ask, I was feeling random that day)

    Crystal/Gold Version - Jacob or Alex

    Emerald Version - Brendan

    Fire Red Version - Same as Red Version

    Pearl Version - Roy

    In my most recent Red Version file, I named my rival Blue, since my character's name is Red.

    For all the roms i've played i have chosen the name (a)(s)(s)(h)o(l)e (without the paranthesis) for my rival. It suited Proffessor Oak's grandson the best.

    Garret or Rhett.

    And when its a girl, I name her Ellie. Because I'm forced to name every female rival after my annoying totally awexome best friend. T_T

    hehe, I hate to admit it but as of late it has been "darkazelf" lol

    Usually it's some stupid name though. Sometimes it's lol wut and stuff like that. Sometimes I say Ash because that shows just how much they suck. In Ruby I am always a guy so I can get May because her music is cooler lol
