Ho-Oh February 9th, 2011 5:36 AM

What have you named yourself?
 
Pretty much what the title says. What's the name you're playing as, or will play as? Also, why did you choose that name?

(The gender of the character you're playing as goes here, though).

Miss Doronjo February 9th, 2011 5:51 AM

I'm going to name myself Dwagie♀; because well, that's what I named myself from pokemon emerald up to pokemon heart gold. Well, the name Dwagie is just a cute name on saying Dragon; and well, the female sign? Itsssss just something I made up. :3

blue February 9th, 2011 6:05 AM

I'm going to use the name White, because I'll be playing Pokémon White and I think it suits Touko

The Red Chain February 9th, 2011 6:06 AM

Miiyu is the name I chose. :3
My character, Blue the Tsutaja/Snivy, has a trainer named Miyu so I just went ahead with that.
Besides, it's a very cute name and I couldn't decide on anything else. I'll prolly name the trainer the same thing in my English White. ^^;

... Though I can't remember why I added an extra i... o.o;


NejiForce February 9th, 2011 6:50 AM

Lilli(Female player)
Because My Name is Willi(WLilli)

Nateon February 9th, 2011 8:06 AM

Playing under my own name in black but when i get white gonna have Sakura =]

Esper February 9th, 2011 8:27 AM

I took advantage of of the fact that I could name myself with Japanese and picked カザミ (Kazami). I was reading a book (NP by Banana Yoshimoto) with a character named Kazami at the time.

johnkapid February 9th, 2011 8:30 AM

Well, I got Hikari for a name...
Yet, the english is Light not Dawn.
I'm a boy...
I named my Tsutaja as Tsuja

Bluerang1 February 9th, 2011 10:18 AM

I'll name my character Uyi, which is my name. If I get White, I'll play as the girl and call her Peri, after my crush, or stick with Whitlea, both names are nice. Actually, I'll stick with Whitlea, it's a good name and naming her after a crush seems weird now. Also I can role-play as her in my head as I'm doing with Dawn in Platinum. :)

Meganium February 9th, 2011 10:31 AM

My name will be Ani (Ani is a name my friends call me) in Pokemon White, and I will play as Touko.

Sabrewulf238 February 9th, 2011 10:46 AM

I'll use Sean, which is my first name. for pokemon white.

When I play the third version as a girl I'll make up some name....I played as Eliza in Platinum and Lisa in Emerald.

GlitchCity February 9th, 2011 1:25 PM

Glitch for pokemon Black, I tend to use that name for the games I will not start over, espically since Im also getting white a month after I get black. Im still not quite sure what Im naming myself on White though...

Gamedudebt February 10th, 2011 5:47 PM

I'm gonna name my character Rain (male) don't know why i just like that name.

Nakuzami February 10th, 2011 6:02 PM

Is Touko the girl? Well, her official name is Whitlea.

I'm going to name my Character Kris. That is one of my favorite names and my fellow RPers will know it is the name I use the most.

I may name the girl Krystal, Luna or Destiny. Also in relation to my RPs :P

Kokuo February 10th, 2011 6:56 PM

I generally just use Steve, because it's my name.

Azumi February 11th, 2011 1:00 AM

I used Kanako (カナコ) in my Japanese White copy. I was thinking of naming the female character Carolin if I decide to buy the English version.
Kanako/Carolin is an OC of mine and I decided to use her different names for respective languages.

TheUnown February 11th, 2011 2:18 AM

I'm going stick with Touko 'cause I like to use official names :P

Satoshi Kamya February 11th, 2011 2:34 AM

I named myself Nick, cause thats my nickname.

TehPsychicTypeMaster February 11th, 2011 3:44 AM

I plan to name my character Rai....not sure though. It just seems to fit Touko (female), its the same name I used on my Pokemon White Japanese copy.

Zelda February 11th, 2011 3:49 AM

The female protagonist is going to be named after my real name, since it has been a pattern where I just name the character I'll be playing as after myself. XD;

Rai February 11th, 2011 12:28 PM

That's a good question. I like to name myself something different in every game. Maybe I will just go with Rai, I haven't used that nickname yet :D

Sydian February 11th, 2011 1:09 PM

I'm the chick in White and my name is Syddy because that's my nickname. I'll be a boy in Black and I'll be Seiphre because I am obsessed with that name because I'm awesome and made it. :D

Hypno February 11th, 2011 1:55 PM

Just my name which is Edgar, I always name the character after me since Yellow.

trevman727 February 12th, 2011 11:20 AM

Probably gonna go with Trev. I usually do anyways, cuz its my nickname. Also, I am really thinking about doing a duo run with Zoroark (Death) and Urugamosu(sp?) as Diesel. Just because I'm really enjoying my duo run in Ruby with Swampert (King Kip) and Aggron (Optimus)

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 12th, 2011 11:22 AM

I'll play the game with my character called Azure :)

RYOUKI February 12th, 2011 11:30 AM

I'm going to play mine as Angelo. I usually name the character after meat my first play through.

Vegas February 12th, 2011 1:54 PM

I took girl character and named her White. So original.
When I get the EU Black, I might pick boy character and name him Black, because I'm so original.
Or just Tino like usually I do (my IRL name, lol).

ManhattanTheStarr February 12th, 2011 2:42 PM

Originally I was gonna go with the name Mantan (I simply took the "hat" out of Manhattan :B) for the female character, but now I think I'll just use Starr since it's an actual name, and sounds much better than... "Whitlea". *shudders*

Fushigidane-Chan February 12th, 2011 3:29 PM

The first five characters in the Japanese alphabet...

My name is short enough to be spelled, even with the five-character limit imposed, but I really dislike the font for English characters in the Japanese games.

Future_Chaos February 12th, 2011 3:35 PM

When I get Black in the future, I'm going to be a guy and name him Chaos

*points username* x3

PhantasyFight February 13th, 2011 3:12 AM

I always call myself Phant. There is never enough room for Phantasy.

pokewalker February 13th, 2011 4:10 AM

I'm going to cal myself either Koen (which is my real name), pokewalker or Nowa (which is already my name in the JAP. version, and is my nickname my friends like to call me :S)

Mew~ February 13th, 2011 4:33 AM

I always call myself Neo, I did it in my Japanese version of White.

I will be getting Black on March 4th, so I might think of something more original.

Rawrinism February 14th, 2011 9:25 PM

I haven't played the Jap. versions yet so, I'll name them this way:

Black: Female-Shareena or Selina

White: Male-Decus or Talsbane

:p

Solice February 14th, 2011 9:30 PM

I have 3 names to choose from. My real name, Bryan, Mogli, what my friends brother always called me, or JoJo, because people say I resemble the emo Who, JoJo, from Horton Hears A Who.

インフェルノの津波 February 15th, 2011 12:14 AM

Called myself Cadel. Greek/Latin for 'Battle'.

And I sometimes choose the opposite gender.

abarai February 15th, 2011 2:55 AM

In white i'll choose to play as a male and name the protagonist after my own name. In black, well i don't know yet D: , maybe Thor after the thunder god from norse mythology.

Derezzed February 15th, 2011 3:31 AM

I haven't decided yet, I'll probably just be boring and name him after myself. Involve myself in the game and all :P

mzmingle February 15th, 2011 6:31 AM

either:
White - likely
Meghan - highly likely
Caitlin - low chance
yea. probably oN Black i'd be White, and on White i'd be Meghan
*

olih February 15th, 2011 4:01 PM

I don't have White yet, but I'm probably going to name myself Dialga. That's what I name myself on all my games. I name myself Dialga because... well, it's obvious isn't it? My favorite Pokemon is Dialga.

InfernoHo-Oh February 15th, 2011 4:06 PM

Japanese Black - Gaia. (my real name)
English White - Selene. (one of my fave characters)

FangJester February 15th, 2011 4:21 PM

John, as always. I'm a pretty boring guy. :|

IMPRI February 18th, 2011 2:54 PM

Normally it's A.sshole or Gay because the funny quotes that happen like the one on emerald when you beat your dad and he said: "Oh no i lost to GAY".

PiPVoda February 18th, 2011 8:04 PM

I'll probably name myself Pip, or use my intials Ed. I could combine the two...PipEd....:\

Pkmn Trainer Touko February 19th, 2011 6:52 PM

No, her official name is Touko. Pokemon is from Japan, the Japanese name dominates over the English name.

I named my female player in Black after myself because this was before I knew her real name...I wish I could change it, but it's my permanent game I don't plan on restarting.

My second playthrough in White I named her Touko, and will do so from now on, when I get the English games. ^^

Zvezda February 20th, 2011 3:21 AM

Does it bother anyone else that there's a seven letter limit for our names in the English games? I think it should be raised to 10 or even 12.

Moonrox February 20th, 2011 6:17 AM

I will name myself Silver as always.
I am getting Black and White both March 6th.
I am not choosing a starter as I am getting all of them.
I like Snivy the most.

BrainChord February 20th, 2011 6:23 AM

I have named myself Mijum
Starter (snivy) Smugy
I have no respect for the english namse

MeerFall February 20th, 2011 6:29 AM

i dunno in the last game i called myself cool tiger... i need to think of something better... maybe Alix?

pokewalker February 20th, 2011 6:48 AM

Pipped sounds better :D

I'll probably call myself, unoriginal and stuff, my real name: Koen :P In my Jap. version I called myself Nowa, since that is the nickname my friends like to give me... :\

Mato February 20th, 2011 6:56 AM

I'm naming the protagonist after myself. ^^

You should use koen. You are lucky you have an amazing first name! Utilize it! :cheeky:

Tox February 20th, 2011 12:34 PM

I'll more than likely use my real name (Andrew). I've used it in most of my games on my first playthrough (with the exception of Sapphire). I enjoy playing most games as myself but seeing as how I don't know any of the Pokémon in this game, I might opt for a whole new start and play as a female character. If I decide to do that, chances are, I'll name her Terri.

The Scarlet Devil February 20th, 2011 12:40 PM

In my White version I used my own name (Cameron) but in Japanese. I'll just use my English name in Black, I'm really bad at thinking of any other names.

Woobat February 20th, 2011 7:40 PM

I'll be playing as a guy named Chris, because I've always named my character after myself.

Rathalos February 21st, 2011 11:20 AM

Always name my characters after myself, Jack :rambo:
I just go crazy with the names of my pokemon

Kendosis February 21st, 2011 11:29 AM

Either Kendosis or Ekaruce !

Ho-Oh March 9th, 2011 7:41 PM

I decided to go with Forever, so that it makes more sense when I eventually post in the travel journal thread. :D

champagnepapi March 9th, 2011 7:43 PM

I decided to go the stuck-up fanboy route and name myself "Blake", as it sounds more appropriate for the male protagonist than Hilda, Blair, or whatever they named him.

Pwnyta Jockey March 9th, 2011 7:46 PM

Pokemon Black: Jazra

Have been playing as (spelling?) the girl trainer. Could have resisted. Just didn't feel like it.

Cooker March 9th, 2011 7:52 PM

Girl trainer: Swift
I was gonna go with Gaga but I was listening to Taylor Swift at the time and Swift just sounded legit.

Sarcastic Prince March 9th, 2011 10:43 PM

First of all, I chose the female character.
I named her Hilda because it's the official name that Game Freak gave her.
I only use official names for my PKMN characters.

So, in HG/SS, I named my character Lyra;
in FR, I named my character Blue (Manga name);
in R/S/E, I named my character May, and in D/P/P, I named
my character Dawn.

All of them are official names. I think that it's not right if I named other names.
It just doesn't 'fit'.

Eurydice March 9th, 2011 10:58 PM

in my white version i named myself Eury because Eurydice didnt fit and thats what everyone calls me anyway in my black version i will either go with Eury or kahlan or something else i havent decided yet

Beechlgz March 9th, 2011 11:55 PM

Just Kay... like I do with every game. Because my full name doesn't fit in the entry box...

Taemin March 10th, 2011 12:01 AM

Sho, because it's my nickname, and I lack creativity.

(..and then one of my friends decided to name his Tsutaja 'Sho' after me. It's weird when we battle. wth)

King Gumball March 10th, 2011 12:02 AM

I should be naming myself my real name ;) And if I choose the girl in Black than I will make up a name like I did in Diamond, even though my name is unisex.

Phototoxin March 10th, 2011 12:45 AM

ma name : Joseph (male) coz that's me IRL

Nick March 10th, 2011 9:53 AM

This time around, I named the character after me. Nick.

MeerFall March 10th, 2011 9:56 AM

Zlix as it is a mixture of alix and aliz

CoffeeWolf March 10th, 2011 10:03 AM

I named myself Aurora. I choose a different name each time so it's not confusing when I trade and look at the OT

WolfAlchemist March 10th, 2011 10:07 AM

Wolf in White. When I get Black, probably Raven. I usually use my real name or some random nickname of mine in previous games so I decided to use something different. Animal names, lol.

Matt 24 March 10th, 2011 10:24 AM

I decided to choose my real name; Matt.

Astinus March 10th, 2011 10:40 AM

I first went with Asty on my first play through a Japanese game, since nothing else would fit and that's my name. Keeping with that, I chose the name Astinus through my two restarts of the game. Now, on my main game, my character's name is Keegan, after a character of mine for a fanfic based on B/W.

Dubberley March 10th, 2011 10:47 AM

i called myself dubbz because my names dubberley but they only let you use 8 letters so i have to settle with dubbz

RockHardSemi March 10th, 2011 10:51 AM

I always try to make a funny name with myself and my rival.

Past ones have been "Fitness defeated Obesity" and "Drugs defeated Life".

However, with the lack of a rival I failed. My plan was to be called "Games" and my rival to be "Social Life" (or SocialLife if the characters were too long). So this would then say "Games defeated Social Life", I was saddened when I wasn't able to nickname a rival however. Now I just have a stupid name...

Uecil March 10th, 2011 10:55 AM

I just named myself on Pokemon White with my real name (Shaih) as I always do.

lamby101 March 10th, 2011 1:12 PM

I'm male and I've used the name James.

My reason? I'm male and my names James :p

TheAppleFreak March 10th, 2011 1:31 PM

I named myself Francis, like I always do.

harig07 March 10th, 2011 1:49 PM

Ecctric, cause my Yugitube alias is Eccentric Boy. On the Japanese Black I'm named ECBOY.

Lieutenant Unstable March 10th, 2011 2:25 PM

I named myself "Sabin" and I'm playing as the girl, because for oonce, the female lead is actually really, really, really, really pretty. :D

I wanted to name myself Ashe, because it's what I always name myself in video games, but I felt like being different for some reason, haha.

Belinda March 10th, 2011 6:32 PM

I had first started with the name Fer, but it wasn't exactly likable by myself so I actually went ahead and restarted Pokémon White and renamed myself Blaze. I actually choose Tepig as a starter so I knew it would look good together. I'm not quite pleased being able to use me entire name Fernando since it is more than the allowed seven characters. I find it annoying if I can't use my entire name but, oh well.

Chaos Uxie March 10th, 2011 6:45 PM

Well i always used names what the original names are like in HG i used Ethan,Emerald i used Brenden,and now in BW the name is Hilbert(from bulbapedia)

CptSwaggerPants March 10th, 2011 7:55 PM

I usually play as the guy, I'm a female but I picked the girl because I pretty much look just like her in style, and my hair and all that snuff.

I named my character Kidachy because that's my real name...instead of my nickname Ran.

Lateon March 10th, 2011 8:11 PM

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. Because his name is my name too.

XD just kidding, obviously. Shauna, because that is what I always use.

TwilightBlade March 10th, 2011 8:22 PM

On my Black version, I named myself Alice. I like the character from Pandora Hearts... If I get other versions, I wouldn't know what to name them, since I decided on Alice a few days before B/W. xD

WriteThemWrong March 10th, 2011 8:46 PM

i named myself Ash after the greatest pokemon master ever and also it was short so less time on the naming screen and more catching of them all

doredla March 10th, 2011 9:16 PM

Chey (my real name). It's cute, short, and I think it fits the character. ;'p Though, if I restart, I'll probably go with Mina.

solarowl March 10th, 2011 9:25 PM

I'm the male because I used the female in Jap. Black, I named myself Sol, because I just like that name, and I always use it.

Beloved March 10th, 2011 9:37 PM

Is Kidachy spelled that way, or Kidachi?

Anyways, I was trying to name mine Pure in Japanese, Junsui, but for some reason my mind thought it was Neza, which is Slavic for Pure, only as a female's name.

Herrzer Brechlich March 10th, 2011 10:30 PM

Herrzer, my usual name in games.
I usually use it for male characters, but the female lead resembles me slightly, so I figured I'd be true to my own gender this time.

mikey March 11th, 2011 11:52 AM

I decided to just name myself after my actual name this time rather than making something up. (Mike btw)

WeegeeMan March 11th, 2011 12:19 PM

I wasn't sure what to name my character at first, so I input "Jack," which was the first name that came to my mind. I used to have a cat named Jack, but he is unfortunately deceased.

dieter57 March 11th, 2011 2:03 PM

for my first play through of any pokemon game, i'm always named Ash.

Dreadnought March 11th, 2011 2:30 PM

I named myself Raitei in Pokemon White. Usually I name myself Red in the previous generations.

Speed March 11th, 2011 2:41 PM

I name myself after my real name, Julian.

valor555 March 11th, 2011 2:46 PM

I named myself Cecil mainly because i love that name and have decided to name my firstborn son that when that rolls around in the distant future

shinyabsol1 March 11th, 2011 3:06 PM

I used my real name, just like I always do.

Neiko Star March 11th, 2011 3:19 PM

I called myself Yin because I'm playing Black. When I restart, I'll choose the boy and name him Hei.

Spanner226 March 11th, 2011 4:41 PM

Well, I named by character Gesso, and he is male.

It was to make my Millefiore Famiglia-based pokemon team.

So it is evident that I am a KHR fan.

Heather March 11th, 2011 5:16 PM

I'm going by the name of Heather. Simply because that's my name. :D
