Rival's name and your name
 
So there's a thread on BW2 asking what was your in-game name, your rival's and your Pokemon, so why not here, right? :D

So here it is!

My name: LilJz ( That's my gamer's tag )

Rival: Ethan ( I was lacking in ideas, and I recently watched Chuggaaconroy's LP of Pokemon Crystal where he named his rival Eyan, so I guess I took the idea from there^^)

Pokemon:
Pikachu: Pika (Since it was a female and I preferred Pika for a female Pikachu :) )
And as for the other Pokemon in my team, I didn't name them. I liked their name the way it was.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/d/d6/Spr_Pt_Dawn.png
Me - Nichole (my real name)

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/d/d5/Spr_Pt_Barry.png
Rival - Barry (I always use default names for the rival)

Pokemon - I don't usually nickname my Pokemon.

Rainbow Arcanine November 16th, 2012 10:51 PM

I decided to be a boy in my Platinum playthrough, honestly I found their design cooler and I do have a slight fondness for Lucas. I always found the default names pretty cool so I just stuck with Lucas.

Looking at my rival, the default name immedieately popped in my head, I thought Barry suited him quite well actually :D.I might of called him Ozzy like Superskarmory but that was obviously trashed :I.

For HG Gold since I found the Pokedex Holder version of him hilarious and a cool character. The rival, default name like usual Silver, since I thought it sort of suited him.

PiemanFiddy November 17th, 2012 2:46 PM

I named myself God, and I named my rival Frankie (some old bully in my middle school)

curiousnathan November 17th, 2012 4:56 PM

I named myself the usual - Nathan, while my rival in Johto, Silver.

In Sinnoh again, I was Nathan, and my rival was Lucas (a friend of mine).

Zapperz November 17th, 2012 6:58 PM

Mines Seth for SS and Jane for Pt.

Rivals though, I use the defaults. Im not great at names

roosterman November 17th, 2012 7:34 PM

my name: i'm not giving my name on the internet, sorry!
rival: tyson (suits him better then barry thats for sure)
pokemon: twiggy! its a shame that everyone else choose that name to though, i was really hoping it would be an original name

Brendino November 17th, 2012 10:09 PM

Just like any other game that I play, my characters name shared mine (Brendan), and I left the rivals with their default names.

As for my Pokemon, I nicknamed all of them except for the legendaries. My starter in Platinum was a Piplup named Czar, and my HeartGold starter was Cyndaquil, which I named Ty.

FrostPheonix November 18th, 2012 10:33 AM

In SS, my name was Gold, my rival was Silver, and my pokemon weren't nicknamed.

Pryze November 18th, 2012 11:12 AM

As always, I used my own name for myself (Shaun), and a random friend's name for the rival.

weasel king November 20th, 2012 4:09 AM

My name-Black - my name is always Black, I just like the character!

Rival's name- I'm Stupid- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

Pokemon- Here are my names: Cyndaquil-Blitz; Totodile-AquaCroc; Rattata- RatPack; Pidgey-AerialAce; Onix-Rocky; and Bellsprout-KillerVine.

Gerokunz November 20th, 2012 4:31 AM

I'd like use the default names.
Me: Lucas
Rival: Barry
P'mon: No nicknames for P'mon because I like default names.

Hyzenthlay November 21st, 2012 5:13 PM

Named my character Marlene.

Named my rival Ryan.

My pokémon: Empoleon-Empolia. (I didn't realise it was a girl 'till I got to Sunnyshore City). Luxray-Pheonix, Rapidash-Blaze, Staraptor-Staravia (preferred that name), Gastrodon-Gastro and Rhydon-Baron. I used Rhydon to learn the HM's cut, rockslide, rock smash and strength, as I've posted before.

I ♥ Pokémon Pearl.

Sableye~ December 8th, 2012 9:42 AM

My rival...gosh I can't even remember. I think I went with the default name of Barry. :T

I never nickname my Pokemon, honestly. I made the dumb mistake of nicknaming my Turtiwig "Leaf" once. Now it's a level 70-something Torterra used for breeding and the occasional battle. The nickname no longer fits for the monstrous creature it is.

The_Consumer December 8th, 2012 1:29 PM

Anthony.

Yeah I don't even know where that came from tbh...
I played Diamond back in 2007 when I was 12 so I gave my rival quite a seemingly random name lulz.
I can't remember the names for my other games >.> they're much more recent though so they probably have some kind of meaning behind them.

iLoveHate December 8th, 2012 2:51 PM

My names in the games were:

In Diamond: Diamond
In Pearl: Pearl
In Platinum: Platinum
In HG: Me- Gold, Rival-Silver
In SS: Me-Silver, Rival-Gold

And yes i played them all ^^

The only nickname i used for a Pokemon was:
- HM-slave (Like whooper, machoke :p)

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ December 9th, 2012 2:06 PM

In Platinum:
My name: Lisa
Rival's name: Terry
My team:
Richter the Empoleon
Lisa the Persian
Shari the Dusknoir
Ashley the Crobat
Kimberly the Flygon
Vince the Jolteon

And yes, I realize that my trainer and Persian are both named Lisa. This is completely intentional.

Detective Prince December 9th, 2012 2:43 PM

I always choose to be female and call myself Graham. There's a long backstory to Graham who is a time traveller who loses all memories of her past travels when her head normally hits a rock. Occasionally she loses all powers to speak as well although in Skyrim the only language she spoke was Dovah. She's been everything from the Commander of N7 to Dragonborn to well...a Pokemon trainer.

I get very bored...

My rival's name in D/P/Pt was Steve and in HG/SS it was Rain after my dog. Lol.

rikdegraaff December 10th, 2012 10:53 PM

My name is always "Sean" (from Mr. Connery, and his 007-movies).
Rival's name is always "Mike" (Just a random found name...)

And I don't give a nickname to my Pokémon's

Sassy Milkshake December 11th, 2012 5:36 PM

Named myself A. Named my rival B. I didn't really feel like taking time to think of clever names haha. Same goes for the Pokemon.

Kikaito plush December 12th, 2012 1:35 AM

Named my trainer Samus and my Rival Ridley as I was obsessed with Metriod.

team
Luke the Gallade
[b]Birdie[//b] the staraptor
Flames the Flareon

:t354:TG

DowntownDumpling December 26th, 2012 7:09 PM

"SARA" (for me) and "B#%CH" (something like that [for my rival {I thought swear words were hilarious back then}]).

Hannah December 26th, 2012 10:28 PM

I name my character Hannah, which is my real name, and my rival, Khyle, which is my pair's name. As for the Pokemon, I don't nickname 'em.

TwilightBlade December 31st, 2012 12:33 AM

In Heart Gold, my player is named Moxxi and my rival is named Jack. Those names are based off characters from Borderlands, which also inspired the Challenge I'm doing. My team has a similar theme too. They have names after Borderlands characters, while my starter is named Bad Touch, which is one of Moxxi's guns.

pikakitten December 31st, 2012 6:12 PM

In D/P/Pt
Me: My real name (Which I refuse to reveal xD)
Rival: Jack, I wasn't all that creative back then xD

In HG/SS
Me: Again, my real name
Rival: I already liked Silver so I kept it. xD

Deceit January 2nd, 2013 12:50 AM

My default name for these games is Shadow, but for rival it varies. I used to always name the rival something like "idiot" or "stupid," but now I just give the rivals their default names. Oh, and for nicknaming Pokemon, I always give them one if they're on my team. Sometimes its close to their actual names other times it isn't.
Ex: Torterra -> Torterror
