2nd Gen What'd you name your rival?

[Mr. Pokemon]

I named Silver in GSC "Susan". :laugh:
I didn't do this like 8 years when I was a kid either, I did it when I restarted Crystal a month or so ago.

 

[Confuse]

He told me his name was "???", so I gave that name to the fuzz.

I really didn't know you could make it be anything you want.

 

[Volkner's Apprentice]

I think I named him Mike. I have no idea why. I think a kid I hated in elementary school went by that name so I took my aggression out on him via a video game? O_O *schedules psychiatric appointment*

 

[Gabri]

Sometimes I reverse the name I gave to the player, and name him like that. Other times, I name him "Idiot", or other names like that one. XD

 

[Ivysaur]

In G/S/C, I called him "Peliroj", a shortened form of "Red-haired" in Spanish XD
In R/B/Y, I called him "Idiot" too.

 

[DeathlyHallows]

In old games, I used to name him as a real pokemon character: Ash, Gary, etc..
And In pearl, I named him Paul

 

[BrandoSheriff]

in GSC, i called Silver "Dumbo". not after the elephant.
in RBY, i just went simple and called him "John".
i didn't learn his name was Gary until i watched the first episode of Pokémon.

 

[Pachireecko]

Stuff like Daniel Evan and Prefect err....I have no idea why...

 

[JX Valentine]

He told me his name was "???", so I gave that name to the fuzz.

I really didn't know you could make it be anything you want.

I did this intentionally the last time I restarted Silver, just because I wanted to be a smart alec. XD

Otherwise, I just go with Silver (which is what he's named in Crystal currently, if I recall correctly).

 

[Super Smash Kid]

I named him Gary. Because Gary was a rival on the pokemon show. Now I'm going to use Paul because he is the current Rival.

 

[.Iramet]

I named mine "travis" because a kid I used to know went by that name...I still don't remember why I chose him?

 

[bav123]

He told me his name was "???", so I gave that name to the fuzz.

I really didn't know you could make it be anything you want.

I used to think that too.

Nowadays, I call him Douche, because of the Super Effective comic strips (Number 2)
(google it)

 

[SailorShadow]

In Gold and Crystal, I named him '???' because I thought that was his real name... Heh.

 

[lordbahamut]

I always named my rival after my archnemesis in real life, so I could beat the crap out of him everytime I met him.

 

[chanchimi]

I usually name my rivals after my brother, being either "JAO" or "Jordan". I just love destroying my rival in battles, because it reminds me of how much I defeat my brother! Hahaha!

 

[Spirit Ruler]

In G/S/C I always named him Jack as that's the name of the only other person in my class who likes Pokemon.
In R/S/E I named your rival Brendan if I was playing as May, or May if I was playing as Brendan.
In Fr/Lg I named him Gary for obvious reasons
And finally in D/P I named him Paul, again for obvious reasons.

 

[Pikazard]

markus in D/p game for a reason I don't know

 

[Ruphire]

I've never really cared but for silver I named him Lucas.

 

[ChamsRock]

I always call them Dumbo or ???, or on one occasion on Diamond, Probopass.

 

[sdfs]

In G/S/C, I named him ???. I was one of those people who thought that was his real name.
