Mr. Pokemon September 19th, 2008 7:37 PM

What'd you name your rival?
 
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 September 19th, 2008 7:44 PM

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 September 19th, 2008 9:38 PM

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 September 20th, 2008 2:17 AM

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 September 20th, 2008 3:58 AM

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 September 20th, 2008 4:08 AM

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

BrandoSheriff September 20th, 2008 6:18 AM

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 September 20th, 2008 6:43 AM

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

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 September 20th, 2008 7:17 AM

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 September 20th, 2008 8:56 AM

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

I used to think that too.

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

SailorShadow September 22nd, 2008 3:47 PM

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

lordbahamut September 23rd, 2008 7:40 PM

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 September 23rd, 2008 9:32 PM

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 September 24th, 2008 7:25 AM

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 September 24th, 2008 7:30 AM

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

Ruphire September 24th, 2008 10:37 AM

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

ChamsRock September 24th, 2008 12:49 PM

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

sdfs September 24th, 2008 12:53 PM

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

wolf September 24th, 2008 12:56 PM

I named my diamond rival Stalker (rivals will stalk everyone in the universe!). In silver I called him pinhead.

Master Control Program September 24th, 2008 1:01 PM

I'm playing through Silver right now, and I named him Antonio. Hah.

My friend recently bought Diamond, and he named his rival Paco. We laugh every time he's mentioned.

SignZ September 24th, 2008 1:21 PM

Hm good question...
R/G/Y: Gary
G/S/C: Jack
R/S/S: X3N0N
FR/LG: X3N0N
D/P: X3N0N

Gary because he was it^^
Jack I dunno it anymore...
X3N0N is the nickname of one of my best friends^^ We played Pokémon together since red and blue :D

Mr. Pokemon September 24th, 2008 1:23 PM

I named him Damion in DP. I don't know why, but I think it was a default name.

Mileyangel September 24th, 2008 2:56 PM

I named him Green, because I love the manga. Later, I named him Mistake. I mean, he's GOT to be a mistake. His own grandfather couldn't remember his name.
