4th Gen What'd you name your D/P rival?

[YOOM-TAH]

I've done two files, one was Tupac2.0 and the other is Roboboy.

 

[Opposite Day]

I'm stuck with Barbie. It makes me laugh all the time :D

 

[Dunsparce]

I named my Rival in Platinum "Idiot" in English Letters.

I was too lazy to look up the characters for "Baka"

 

[Blue Nocturne]

I don't think i'm allowed to say what i called my rival on this site.

 

[Trap-Eds]

I named him Clint. He just looks like a Clint to me. :D
And there's this video on YouTube where you can listen to Pearl's battle music, all the comments are what people named the guy.

 

[Officer Jordan]

In Diamond, named him Andrés, after an old friend of mine. Generally, since Barry is supposed to be the main character's friend, I don't name him after my enemies. However, for Gary and Silver, I always name them after my enemies. Heh heh.

 

[Cactus Twist]

I have never gone to a store and purchased a pokemon game, I buy them off of people, so then I name my rival after whoever I got the game from.

Sapphire - David, sold me GBA and game
LG - Danny, friend from the tennis team
Diamond - Barrett, Friend with employee discount at Target

 

[RYOUKI]

Damien. I saw it somewhre that it was supposed the rival's English name, not Pearl. D:
I mean Pearl? It's a girls name. Anyways, councidentall, my classmate's name is also Damien.

 

[agentk_b]

James... based off my once real life pokemon rival.

 

[World King]

I named mine Leon, after a Real-Life friend of mine when he used to play Pokémon, and because I like the name. ​

 

[splosh]

Biatch. :P It has just about the same effect as the first poster's one when it comes to dialogue.

 

[Honest]

IDK why, i named him ralph. :|. i know. Then, i named myself ralph in firered!

 

[Hedgehog]

I named my rival Jack. I dont know why i named him jack. Or i wachting to much Tv O_O

 

[Emerald Yoshi]

For real, I named him Bowser, since Yoshi is the Good Guy, me! ^_^

 

[Aussie Riolu]

I named mine Paul. Don't know why. Too much TV I guess XD

It's too bad you can only have 7 characters otherwise I would call him Blazichu :P

 

[thorn96]

I named it after one of my friends who used to be obsessed with D/P, but
doesn't play it anymore because he lost his thrill when he learned how to hack
a SAV file using Pokesav :-P

<breaths>

 

[Dukey]

I just make his name the same of one of my friends in real life

 

[Leaf_PKMN-Trainer]

I named my D/P Rival Justin. Its just the first name that popped into my head. I named myself Dawn because I usually like to name the characters their official names. I'm gonna write a list of the names I put in my other Pokemon games because I feel like it. ^.^

[Cynic Kaka]

Wow, this thread's getting popular...


Anyway, on topic

For Platinum, I'm naming my Rival Wacky, (it's a chao from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, who dances like Rival does when he enters the battle.)

 

[billie_lightning]

I named mine after my bf xD
His older brother suggested it, so now when I'm playing I'm like "Hey Chris, I just pwned you again" =3
