-   -   5th Gen Rival name? (https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=278169)

Ho-Oh April 13th, 2012 9:40 PM

Rival name?
 
So from the name of the rival being "rival" that kinda indicates that we'll get to name him (or most likely will), so this thread is for the what if! What will/would you name your rival and why? :3 ...since chances are we'll get to name him.

Xander Olivieri April 13th, 2012 9:45 PM

We've been able to name our Rivals up until B/W. As for a name...he feels Devlin to me~ So may name him Devlin.

Cello April 13th, 2012 9:45 PM

Di-.... Yikes, i'm not on 4chan.
Uhh, I would probably name him something wrong, but as far as safe names go i'd probably name him something unfitting like "Randall" or "Jerry."
Something that sounds very nonthreatening in an attempt to make his "Lets get angry" motto laughable.

Maybe something rich sounding. He seems like he'd be somewhat wealthy. So...maybe something like Donald, or Max, like Maximillion? No idea. Maybe Bono. Mainly because that word annoys me and it'd give me great pleasure to defeat someone with that named.
"Rival Bono was defeated!"
Yeah, that has a nice ring to it.
Bono it is, then.

I think i'll name him Tyson, favorite character from BeyBlade :D

Oryx April 14th, 2012 8:26 AM

Probably will use the default name. I want to remember it and I have no real reason to name him anything else lmao.

RedJ April 14th, 2012 8:52 AM

Grey

Hmm, I dunno. I usually don't decide on the rival name until the name menu pops up, but I'll probably go with Grey a default name.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire April 14th, 2012 1:42 PM

Maybe we won't get to name our rival, I mean we disn't get this Option for Bianca or Cheren :(
But if we can I'll name his Grey, or keep the default name if I like it.

Nick April 14th, 2012 1:57 PM

I'm going to name him Nick for obvious reasons!

porkcrapper April 15th, 2012 12:50 PM

i so hope we can name him...
for me, it's boober all the way:
"Trainer Boober wants a battle!"

Archenoth April 15th, 2012 12:55 PM

In R/B/Y, I always named my Rival "I" for some odd reason, and that name is strangely nostalgic now...

In G/S/C, I named my Rival "Zaphod", and that has recently been done for HG/SS.

In Emerald, I never got to name my rival.

In Platinum, I named my Rival "Steef" after a good friend of mine...

I have no idea what I'll name this one, it will depend what he acts like during the first meet up with him. (I don't know, and would rather not know until I actually play the game) If he is nice, I'll probably name him after a friend, if he is harsh to some degree, I'll probably come up with a harsher sounding name.

I won't name him like 4chan names things though. (I know a Bidoof named "Handjob" for instance)

blue April 15th, 2012 12:55 PM

If there is a default name then I'll use that, otherwise I'll just be creative and use a name that suits his persona.

deoxys121 April 15th, 2012 1:00 PM

It was shown in the gameplay on Pokemon Smash that we apparently get to name our rival. However, I'll probably go with the default name for my rival. I know, I'm boring. So, my rivals' names that I've been able to name were Gary, Silver, and Barry.

Darkness
If the game allows it.

chaos11011 April 15th, 2012 7:00 PM

Anyone who names their rival anything but Mr. Pineco Head is wrong.

Use Pineco to bypass 7 char limit.

Jellicent♀ April 15th, 2012 8:40 PM

His battle theme reminds me of a Megaman game,s o I'm on the fence about naming him Megaman. My choices now are Bono and Megaman. I almost wish they decided a name for us, that way it wouldn't be too hard to name him! ;;

gunnerpow7 April 15th, 2012 8:57 PM

I would name him... Atsuki. It was literally the first name that comes into my mind...lol

Asuf April 15th, 2012 9:05 PM

I shall name him Shepard I guess. (antagonist from MW2)

I'm so glad that you think of me as your superior, nicky.

MAYBE I'LL NAME MINE NICK TOO, OR MAYBE RYAN OR HARRY.

Ephemeral Euphoria April 15th, 2012 9:47 PM

I'm naming him Vanitas since well that's the first thing to come to mind really and I figure why the hell not.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ April 16th, 2012 6:51 AM

I'm not sure yet, but chances are it'll be some generic boy's name, perhaps taken from a relative I don't get along with too well. That way I'll have few qualms about throttling him in combat, lol

I'm kinda past the stage of giving him an offensive/insulting name xD

TY April 16th, 2012 6:57 AM

I always call my rival after the most hated PS3 player in my life...
Why? cause that guy made me piss MW3 off...

Well I won't go with Bono but I must admit it reminds me of Megaman. So maybe Chaud from the Battle Network Series or Geo from the Starforce Series but I think the name Chaud is pretty awesome and my preferred choice.

Zephele April 17th, 2012 4:02 AM

Seeing as I don't have any sort of standard name for the rival characters, I do hope that he's given a default one.
Otherwise, I'll probably just choose the name of a friend of mine. Or whatever comes to mind when the menu pops up, I guess.

Aussie Riolu April 17th, 2012 5:02 AM

In the Japanese version, I'll be calling my rival: コーディ (Cody). I dunno why, a friend of mine suggested it and I like it. In the English version, I'll probably pick a default name or something.
