I wish I could name them. I don't mind the name Bianca but I don't really like the name Cheren.

King Gumball March 28th, 2011 1:24 AM

I like it this way ;) I dont care for naming my rivals (though I used to do it just because I could) and I like Bianca and Cheren as their names. Used to them now. And they are in-game characters so I think they should have their own names.

I agree to what JP said. I never know what to name them either. So I just tend to pick any of the 3 or so options given ;D

It would've been nice but at least their regular names are decent...unlike Hilbert and Hilda. -_-

PlatinumDude March 28th, 2011 2:05 AM

I don't mind being unable to name Cheren and Bianca into whatever I like because I usually have a hard time thinking of names for my rivals when given the chance to do so.

Sarcastic Prince March 28th, 2011 3:24 AM

I tend to name the protangonist, and the rivals with their official
names. It's actually better that the game didn't give you a choice
on naming your Rivals.

TheGoddessOfDiscord March 28th, 2011 4:48 AM

I think you can't name them yourself because some people (including myself) tend to give their rival(s) offensive nicknames and GF doesn't like it.

Rionix March 28th, 2011 4:57 AM

Their names pretty much suit them so yeah, i don't really mind. Cheren == cool and Bianca == Klutz. I like it :D

Hibaru March 28th, 2011 4:59 AM

Cheren and Bianca pretty suit them well I think.

GreenBeece March 28th, 2011 5:01 AM

Nope, I don't mind. It's easier when you name only your player.

Satoshi Ookami March 28th, 2011 5:07 AM

I like the fact that we have rivals that cannot be named :D
It's not like it's for the first time :) And I think it's going to continue :)

Pokemon Trainer Touko March 28th, 2011 5:10 AM

I wish I could name them. I'd probably name them after my friends. :3

Citrus Knight March 28th, 2011 5:12 AM

I hate how they re-named Belle, Bianca in the American version. Her name is so much better as Belle instead of Bianca. Let's set aside the fact that I hate a girl name Bianca AND Belle is just prettier.

Tis` i'll probably do if ever I can name them. Ricky and Kara :D

I like Cheren's name cuz I get to laugh at how girly it sounds. xD

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ March 29th, 2011 6:48 AM

If they hadn't named them, I'd probably have given them generic names anyway. Though just for fun, every time I'd face Cheren in battle I'd call him "Galactic Commander Charon" simply because their names are so similar. And they both wear glasses.

kelario26 March 29th, 2011 8:27 AM

You didn't get to name your rival in R/S/E, which didn't really matter because you only battled him once.

Tox March 29th, 2011 8:57 AM

I'd have liked to name them after my friends because they'd feel like proper rivals. Instead of being annoyed by them (it's not their fault; I'm just like that), I might actually find them interesting. I've always enjoyed games where you have the option to name the characters more than the ones where you don't. I suppose it's just two people that show up now and then. Not the end of the world.

Bluerang1 March 29th, 2011 9:12 AM

I don't mind. In fact I like it. It's more RPG that way, and having to name 3 people... oh goodness >!< I like when things are official. Like Wally.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 29th, 2011 9:35 AM

I dont mind not being able to name the Rivals because I would usually give my Rivals bad word names or names that indicate that they are weak, suck and need to stop raising Pokemon in general

I have to admit, Cheren does sound awfully close to Sharon. XD

Anyway, I only just realised I didn't vote in my own poll. XD It seems most people don't mind, which doesn't suprise me. :P
I am not posting just to bump up my thread, I swear. ^^'

LokemonBlack March 31st, 2011 12:25 PM

Cheren and Bianca don't sound that bad. They go well and you will get used to them like Jessie and James in no time. =]

Name April 22nd, 2011 6:05 AM

Cheren is a dumb name
 
First of all, what kind of name is Cheren anyway?
It almost sounds like Sharon, which in english is a girl's name.
To me it seems like the translation team did a poor job of Anglicizing his name.
Furthermore it isn't really a name that strikes me as bing the utmost of intelligent names. I thought he's supposed to be like this battle wiz or whatever.
He consistently loses, and even then he wants to become the unova champion? I mean really? He's a fool.
He meets the current champion, whom you'd think that Cheren would recognize, and acts like he's never seen the guy before. Now we all realize that the champion is well celebrated, and is seen on TV. Clearly Cheren isn't such a battle wiz.
I would like to move that Cheren never be called Cheren again, and a new name is given to him.
Okay.... so maybe this can't be dumb but stilll....
Cheren is a dumb name.

Amore April 22nd, 2011 6:31 AM

Hah, the only times I stray away from defaults are by calling Gen I rival Blue / Gary (Can't remember which one is default) and deciding Barry should be named Pearl after the PokéSpec character.

NamelessGuy April 22nd, 2011 9:17 AM

Every time I see Cheren's name, I think "Shaaaaaarrrroooon!" Yeah, Ozzy Osbourne reference right there. Still, it never fails to crack me up.

He seriously needs a name change, though.
