How do you change the rival's name for a specific fight

SIlverstanfan04, May 18: there are 3 versions of every rival trainer to account for all 3 starters, if you only changed one chances are you changed the wrong version, try changing them all to the same name. I hope this solves the issue!

Changing the trainer of blue's name to something else instead of Terry
