-   -   1st Gen What did you name your character and rival in Pokemon Yellow? (https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=281112)

I'm pretty sure even though Yellow version loosely follows the anime his name is Red because the Red you fight in G/S/C HG/SS has all the starters fully evolved and Pokemon yellow is the only version where you can get all the starters and i'm also guessing Red's Pikachu in the fight is also the Pikachu you get in Yellow.

I named myself nick and rival jack

pokefan648 January 8th, 2014 5:55 PM

I named my named my self my name and my rival Jack. one time borrowed a friends pokemon game ( a newer gen) and named both characters innapropriate names (my name was a funny word, and the rivals name was a swear word lol).

Ars Arcanum January 8th, 2014 8:04 PM

I always named myself Ash and my rival Gary was i was little, and always got mad at people who didnt. That was before i learned it was Red & Blue...or is it Red & Green?

slim spazzy January 21st, 2014 4:38 AM

I used to put my name as spazzy and my rival as my friend from real life

Astraea January 21st, 2014 11:22 PM

I put mine name as Yellow and my rivals name was green!

Sheep January 22nd, 2014 3:27 PM

I was Ash and the rival was Gary! Predictable, yep? But I couldn't see it any other way.

Meganium January 23rd, 2014 11:15 PM

I named myself after my real name (which starts with an A), and I named my pikachu Spark. I kept the rival's name Gary because I didn't had a good name for him at the time. lol

Hiatus January 23rd, 2014 11:51 PM

I named my main character Yellow, As for rival, I named him Jerry. Was watching Tom & Jerry at that time, and couldn't think of anything better. xD

DarkCloud1267 January 26th, 2014 7:22 AM

Ash and Gary of course! haha

Puddle January 26th, 2014 7:28 AM

My name was River and my Rival's name was Justin. He was my best friend at the time, therefore, he was always my rival in Pokemon games.

this. I always named mine so i giggled whenever they showed up. They act all badass... do you even realize your name is farthbreath!!?!>?!

Evening January 26th, 2014 2:09 PM

I named myself, Red, and the rival, Blue at first.
Then I named myself, Me, and the rival, Him.

~Hikozaru~ February 2nd, 2014 1:38 AM

I named mine Mhm Gurrrrl just because I liked to see all the people go "Mhm Gurrrrl!"

Shadowraze February 2nd, 2014 2:34 AM

I named mine Red and then my rival Blue since it's only natural that it's Red vs. Blue for kids xD

UniversalGamer February 6th, 2014 12:17 PM

I used name's that correspond to the game, If i was playing Red then my named was Red and Rival Blue and the same went for every game

Minato Riku March 4th, 2014 4:53 AM

my character name is Kyo and my rival name is Iori.I name them based of King Of Fighter series so thats my first name for ASH and GARY......

pastel_fallout March 4th, 2014 12:41 PM

Heh. I named myself Aria and my rival Bonbon. I think my blood sugar was high the day I started Yellow. xD

orangeralts21 March 4th, 2014 5:05 PM

I always name myself my actual name, no I am not telling you, and my rival "TEDWIN"

Burakki Tsuki March 10th, 2014 9:53 AM

I always used my real name for my characters. When I first started I named the rival Gary (in Yellow), then as I grew older I used expletives (Silver and Ruby). Now I use silly names like Fred and etc.

Sorry if your name is Fred. XD

pyx March 12th, 2014 9:39 AM

I always call myself Nai in any pokemon game. As for my rival, well, better not mention it here XD (It´s foul anyway)

Kikaito plush March 12th, 2014 10:13 AM

jpnm92 March 12th, 2014 2:35 PM

Zorogami March 14th, 2014 1:41 AM

When i first got my copy of Pokemon Yellow, i was a 5 year old kid. Obviously, i had to name my protah Ash and my Rival Gary, no doubt!

Fernbutter March 14th, 2014 3:24 AM

I had named myself Daniel, and my rival Gabriel. I have no clue why or what was I thinking but whatever.

Pokemon_Fangirl March 23rd, 2014 12:56 AM

I called them Ash and Gary since it was based more on the anime. Besides, I was already calling them that in Red because I didn't know back then that the games are supposed to be a separate universe from the anime.

MainstreamMew March 29th, 2014 8:58 AM

I always named my character after me and the rival if he was a male after my little brother.

sweets March 31st, 2014 10:14 PM

Apparently a lot of people have done this too, but I named Red after me and my rival after my brother, even though I'm a girl so it was a Red with a girl's name, hehe

Homura Akemi March 31st, 2014 10:29 PM

I named my rival in Gold/Crystal ???. I mean, the game said his name was ???, so I'll go with ???.





cmon, ??? is an awesome name.

Guardian April 2nd, 2014 11:23 AM

In Yellow, Gary, cos I am nice. In Crystal, ASSHAT, cos the guy is an asshat. :D

Captain Gizmo April 2nd, 2014 3:21 PM

I named myself Ash and I named my rival Gary, since Yellow is based on the anime :P

Boured April 16th, 2014 7:03 AM

Name myself my name and my rival my friends name to feel like I was part of the game:3

Melty~ May 6th, 2014 9:56 PM

I named the trainer Cecil (after Final Fantasy IV's Cecil Harvey) and my rival Zemus (after the true enemy).

Auric May 7th, 2014 7:22 PM

I'd always go with my own name, Matt, as the hero's name and then the rival would always be Gary. :P

RedMort May 8th, 2014 4:48 AM

Gary, it was the typical, and had not much imagination name at that time xD

acatfrommars May 18th, 2014 10:08 PM

Oh man, many different names haha. I normally would name it my brother's name when I was younger, so Daniel. Or I would name it my best friend's name, Chance. The last time I played, I named him Rico for some strange reason. xp

Pepperton May 19th, 2014 8:32 PM

Normally, I named him after myself and the rival after my brother. However, one run I went completely canon and named the player Red and the rival Gary. I also tried catching various Pokemon that Ash did in the Kanto anime, and it was a fun little way to play through the old generation. n__n;

thebaum64 May 24th, 2014 5:01 PM

I also named my rival Gary :)

I'd name mine either ass, pinhead, bigbutt, or loser. Sorry. I know those names are funny (if you have my sense of humor). He was my rival so I thought I'd treat him as the enemy outright.

Girl June 14th, 2014 6:25 PM

Always named myself God. My rival was named Gary.

lilartistgrrl June 29th, 2014 1:30 PM

I named my trainer Carolyn because that's my name and I named my rival Gary because I love the anime!

VGOldSchool June 29th, 2014 1:40 PM

Recently named the protagonist according to the color version I'm playing and the antagonist to the opposite color.
