Same, only used "ASH" for yellow...
But since my name is "Ashley" I named my character "Ash" once we were able to choose gender. Otherwise, Red was always Red. |
I've only used "BOs HM" for my name since there's no 8 on 1st Gen.
|
lolol
I was 'Ash' in Red, Blue, Yellow, and wouldn't put it past me to have done the same in Crystal. XD; Also, I think I might've named my Yellow player 'Satoshi', and my rival was 'Shigeru', because it was rather sugoi desu to use their Japanese names when I was 12. |
I only used the name 'Ash' for Yellow, for well, obvious reasons. The player's name was irrelevant to me to be honest, so I just put my name or something when I start a new game in any version.
|
I always name the character the name of the game, i.e.: Red on Red, Emerald on Emerald, if it's too big(i.e.: Platinum) I use something to symbolize it, and in remakes, I use the different part of the name
|
I think the only time I did this was playing Blue version, and that was because the anime was massively in the cultural zeitgeist at the time so it would have felt weird NOT naming the character Ash. By the time Gen II came around, however, I'd lost interest (with the rest of my peers) in the anime, so felt liberated to call the protagonist whatever I wanted to. This has continued forever more!
|
I typically just give my characters random names. The most coherent they get is that when I'm doing a monotype challenge, I name my character something that resembles his or her type (e.g. "Wanda" for Water or "Arthur" for Bug).
|
In yellow I named my character Ash but in other games something else
|
I started on Blue, and Red.
My characters name is "*****", with his rival being "Wet Back". And My Squirtles name is "Chief" |
actually i always named my character Reyko, then changed to Shijo in gold and silver
|
I named myself Ash in the Red and Gold, but from then onwards I used my online nicknames. :)
I didn't know about the manga back then either, so I was confused as to why they wanted you to name yourself after a color... :P |
out of habit, I tend to name Red Ash, but usually it's just him. I did name Ethan Ash once eons ago in Silver, but otherwise, not really.
|
I never did. I always named him Mimi, even though it's a girl name. I was obsessed with Mimi from Digimon as a kid and named everything, even a cat, after her.
|
Uhhh YES!!!
I named my character Ash up until RSE, where the character design was too different to be able to name him Ash and get away with it. In Yellow specifically, I named my character Ash, got all of Ash's Pokémon, and tried to make my gaming experience as close to the anime as I possibly could. |
Quote:
For now, I'll assume that the asterisks really are asterisks, that you gave your rival that nickname because he uses Water-types, and that you gave your Squirtle that name because it is the strongest Pokemon on your team. |
Definitely not just you. I named my character ASH for a good five years and two generations, because I was an exceptionally unoriginal kid.
...Did anyone ever name their Black/White character Hilbert, though? I'll 'fess up to never having heard that name before Generation V. |
I never knew anyone who named their character Ash.
I grew up with friends and cousins with short names so they usually used that. |
Yes. I've done it a lot. Sometimes when I'm restarting Yellow I'll just be too lazy to think of a name, so I'll use Ash. I like Ash, though. <3
|
I named my guy after myself, however with Crystal I called her Krystal (didn't even know that was her name at the time). I actually used Krystal as the name of all female charachters until 4th gen where it turned to another name
|
My person was named Swimmer.
|
On Yellow, every save ive done has been called ash (even my current one)
Every other game has been Hamish or HAMISH |
I named my character Ash a few times, but promptly started a new game because I realized that I WASN'T Ash.
|
I tended to always name my character after the game I was playing. Like for Gold my character was name Gold. Sometimes I use my own name (Sarah).
|
yeah ppl did do tht xD to me what ive seen the name ash ended after platinum was released. i named myself ash in emerald :P
|
Yup, I can attest to the fact that for the first few years I owned R/B/Y I would name my character ASH at least 80% of the time. There was never any driving force behind this, I just couldn't think of a better/ more appropriate name. Thankfully, I've grown up and gotten some much needed creativity in the process so now I'm only called ASH in 50% of my R/B/Y games :P
|
I still name my Trainers ASH to this day. All my Rivals have the name GARY. I did this because of the common show names that were used during the Johto and Kanto Episodes and it still remained in my later games as it reminded me of the good old times of Pokemon. I still use those names to this day. My Trainer in my White version is ASH also XD.:)
|
I used to name my characters Ash and my rivals Gary. But now I am name my character after me and my Emerald version names my rivals for me.
|
I only called my character Ash the first time I played it because I thought it was a test.
|
I do at times but considering my name it makes sense lol
|
I tried to make a point of never naming my characters Ash/Gary/whoever if I could help it.
|
Nope, I always named my character after my real name.
|
I always called him Jesse, since its the male equivalent of Jessica. I think it is, anyways. Now I call him Red or Gold. I remember one time, playing Blue and naming him HARRY and the rival DRACO.
|
For Pokemon Red, I went with Red...When I had first gotten Pokemon Yellow, I believe I did go with Ash. For both Gold and Crystal, I named the main character Gold.
Rivals were the same deal. I named the rivals Blue/Gary/Silver. |
I name myself my own name in any game, unless a cool one is suggested. As for Ash, oh my god.....I tried to explain to three seprate people the diffrence between ash and red for a good five minutes, and they still didn't get it.
|
on the originals and remakes R,B,Y,FR,LG i named it ASH
HG/SS Jimmy, from the pokemon chronicles on the new ones G,S,C,R,S,E,D,P,PL,B,W i named him James, haha i got the idea for the name from James from team rocket i always thought he was cool back when G,S,C came out and ever since then the name for my character just happens to be James |
When I was younger during RBY and sometimes when I played Gold/Silver I used to name my Character Ash.In Firered, I named my character Satoshi, obviously off of Ash's Japanese name. I think Pokemon Emerald was the first time I used my real name, Aaron and in HeartGold it's Air-In, which is a nickname my friends give me. :P
