What do you name your rival?
I was wondering what people name their rivals in the games?
|
Swearing isn't allowed on PC...
|
Words that cannot be expressed unless I'd like a few more infractions. It's always the way to go in games with namable NPCs or other dialouge elements.
|
>__> I have the feeling, that I know what you all named Blue/Gary.
I usually give my rival a generic, but not common name that "fits their personality." I named Gary, "Blake" on my first playthrough of LeafGreen, and I named Barry, "Rhett" on Diamond. You can probably get a sense of how I name from the information given. |
i name my rival bob just an easy name to type and its a pretty basic name
|
Unfortunately, I didn't name my Rivals after Cuss words or Swears.
Rival in Red/Green/Blue/Yellow= Gary Rival in Soul Silver/Heart Gold/Gold/Crystal/Silver= Silver Rival in Emerald= Brendan Rival in D/P/Platinum= Barry Yup, I chose to be a girl in most of my Pokemon games.. |
I usually name my Rival on G/S/C/HG/SS Silver, because that's his name in the manga.
|
I normally name my rival some random name that I think of.
|
Well for R/B/Y, I always named him Gary because of the anime, but for everything afterward, it would always be a random name I like or one of the names in the list you get if one sounds good. For HG/SS, though, I named the rival after my best friend because we both went through a play through at the same time and we named the rivals after each other just because.
|
At the moment I'm playing Heart Gold and I named the red-haired guy Wayne :D That's actually the first time I haven't name him something rude or after somebody I knew :L
"Passerby boy" kind of looked like a Wayne to me? xD No offence to anybody called Wayne on here :P |
Usually on the first new game, I choose the manga/anime name..
after restarting, I usually just either babble their name with random texts or.. swears. |
Sometimes my brother to annoy him, but mostly the actual name on the manga/anime.
|
YOUR MOM, because it's funny when it says "YOUR MOM wants to battle!"
|
My very first rival (pokemon gold) I named him GAG for so many years. I never understood why xD
But after awhile I started naming the rivals their rightful manga name. Yellow: Green Gold/Crystal: Silver FR/LG: Green DPt: Pearl HG/SS: Silver Unfortunately you cannot name your rival in the Hoenn and Unova regions. |
Red - ONIONS
Blue - Shigeru Yellow - Furkle Gold - Octopus Silver - ASS Crystal - ??? Diamond - idr Pearl - idr Platinum - Im Gay |
I named him Cyrus this time in SS.
Last time, it was Silv. The other last time, it was Rabbit :3 |
I usually give them whatever I feel like at the moment. Last time on Plat. I named Barry "Regis"
|
I always name my rival Chris after one of my cousins
|
My rival names are all over the place, based on my mood and what comes to mind. Sometimes it's swear words, other times semi-obscure references, others just random names... One time, I even gave a rival my own name. That was strange of me.
|
Red - Gary
Blue - Gary Yellow - Gary Gold - ??? Silver - ??? Crystal - Nothing. Diamond - Lucas Pearl - Nothing. Platinum - Nothing. Heart Gold - Silver Soul Silver - Nothing. |
Let's see...
In my first game (Firered) I went on a "he has to have a name of a sharp object" kick and he was named Thorn, then Tooth, then Spike, then I ran out of sharp objects and just called him rival. I don't remember the name for Yellow (though I know it wasn't any of the traditional/given names). Emerald names the rival for you and he was Silver in SoulSilver. Oh yeah, he was weirdo in Diamond because he looked weird to me. |
I just picked the most appealing of the default names. I don't recall them since I never cared much.
I did name the rival in GSC '???' though, given the way he makes it sound like it actually is his name (poorly translated dialogue?), and I thought the police officer would actually catch him. Wasn't expecting him to be a rival and never really did think of him as such. |
Well, in Gold/HG I named the rival Sit (I was little when I first played Gold and I thought it'd be funny, but I tried to do a different name in HG, but it just didn't feel right, you know?), but lately, I've named all of my rivals Jack after my gf's dad (He's a dink and I wanted to beat up his pokemon when I replayed Blue ... and now it just feels appropriate)
|
FireRed: Gary
LeafGreen: Ash Diamond: Jun Platinum: Jaden HeartGold: Yusei SoulSilver: Silver |
I name my rivals with the same name with the person I hate. XDDD
