What's your name?
At the beginning of every game you're allowed to choose your protagonist's name. What will yours be? Why?
For those who didn't notice, the character limit for Pokémon names and attack moves have also been adjusted up. Do you think we'll finally be able to name our protagonists beyond the original seven character limit? If so, will this affect what your name will be? |
My name's always 'Will'. Lol So it doesn't effect me much
|
I'm in the same boat. I generally just name myself Jake or whatever the actual name of the protagonist is, so I don't really run into issues with anything. It's good to see their increasing the cap on names though, as the character limit before was just extremely restrictive since there are definitely a lot of names out there that broke the limit.
|
I always make my character my name, Kayla. So going beyond the seven character limit doesn't affect me.
|
Considering the only name I use is Ashley, it doesn't affect me. |
Doesn't affect me in the least. I always name the character after my first name: Irene.
|
Well since my real name (Nichole) is exactly 7 characters long, I'll still be using it for my character.
|
I started recently trying to play with the pokemons the trainer use normally in the manga or anime mostly the one who come first and I keep the name the game give to them normally. Maybe this time it could change and if the female name is not Yvette or Yvonne I gonna name her like that.
|
I like to use my real name Don for story gameplay, because I don't like characters calling me Lyca, it sounds stupid... Usually I play through the story as Don and then put on Lyca, or LycaNinja now, so I can play online and have it make sense with my forum name.
Character limit is at least 12 now... That has been confirmed hasn't it? |
No change in my name as well.... It will be Ray.
|
I usually name him Ale, which is a shorter version of my real name, Alejandro.
When i play the female i just pick any girl's name i like (: |
I always find that naming the protagonist whomever it may be after their name that they have been assigned, suits it much better than naming them after my name.
|
Well it will be Jay as usual so no.
|
My real name of course, as usual.
|
I love this news. Now I can finally have a Tentacruel named Oppenheimer.
|
I dunno what name I`ll name myself yet, but I have till sometime in October to think of something I`ll like and not get tired of seeing.
|
I started using my middle name Patrick this gen, I think I'll continue with it
|
Since I was going to name my self either Yuna or Xavier depending on which gender I pick in the end I'll be adding in last names like I've hoped for the past generations. If girl it'll be Yuna Taiyou (11 characters counting the space) or Xavier Tsuki (12 counting the space).
|
In terms of the protagonist name letter increase doesn't really affect me, since I'll be using Barrage as my protagonist name, and Barrage is seven letters long so having the limit increased won't bother me.
However, in terms of Pokemon names having an increased letter limit. HO HO HO, my nicknames for my Pokemon are going to be much more elaborate now. |
Tch, about time we got some extra letters, my Pokemon names can be incredibly awesome now, the way I intended them to be.
Doesn't really affect my character's name tho, still gonna be my real name. |
Every name from Black onwards have been based on my trainer OCs. I have used Myth in Black, and Jester in Black 2. In X, however, I will use Myth again.
|
I've always used my first name (Keith) in every gen I've played in. But for both X and Y I'll use my middle name for One game and My Last Name for the other.
For X I'll name my character Robert (middle name) and for Y I'll name my character Austin (last name) |
Serge or Scott, for me. Nothing like some good ole' roleplay.
|
I either put in Brenden or my alias Kyrul. Makes the game more immersive.
|
Mikhail, like how its always been
|
A longer character limit has been confirmed? Where? I haven't seen it yet. xD
Either way, I always use D9001. |
I will be Victory, I use it in every game. Ta-Da!!!
|
mine is always Jeanne. no matter what. But i might be in a dilemma if that info is to throw us off.... Should i pick the guy cause his name is jean or should i pick the girl, since im also a girl?
|

I've been in the habit of naming myself Alli or Allison since mid-gen V, so I'll probably go with one of the two again. I have no intentions of playing as the male character.
|
I'll be Alec, which is my real name. I dunno, it makes the game more personal. My sister does the same, but instead of naming her rival after her real life rival (like me), she has a tradition of naming him "Poop," "Poopy," or "Pooppants."
I worry about her sometimes... |
I just got Pokemon White Version and Pokemon White Version 2 the other day, but will be using my actual name through every Pokemon game.
|
I'll most probably use my real name which is Amanda, or the protagonist's own name.
|
I usually give my trainers random (and sometimes unusual) names. Now I can be even more creative with trainer/pokemon names.
|
Belive it or not, i name them AAAAA
Cheers Alu |
I've always been Jetfire. That name has stuck to me since I was a kid to the time I used to run my own Pokemon forum lol
Jetfire and Pokemon for me will always be. |
I always name myself Dominic, because its my favorite name.
|
When I don't have any other ideas I normally name the character after myself: Tara. Though sometimes when I have felt like it I would name them something else. Though I cannot think of any names except maybe once in which I would be glad that they have risen the character limit if they do.
|
I always use my real name or Phoenix. (: |
I'd name mine, Roi like always...Oh and plus the Kalos region would be based on france so the name Roi actually fits.
|
Since Gen IV I always use JoJo, which is how everyone calls me! Before Gen IV, I used the protagonist's name! I think I might as well go with JoJo again!
|
I've always used the name Ryan for my protagonist (because it's my name) but this gen I have decided to spice things up. Instead this time I'll name him Pewsks. My most memorable gaming moments was on an online game called Maplestory in a guild called PewPew. I made amazing friends and just had a blast. Then one day I tried making a tribute character for the guild but the name PewPew was already taken so I basically wrote Pew and then smashed my keyboard. Got Pewsks and decided to run with it. Since then I've warmed up to the name on several different games so.. Yeah that's why I am choosing it!
I know most people would think that it's kind of weird and stupid but whatever :p |
I will either name my character bukkow, Etienne, or Steve. Possibly katie if I pick the female character
|
Mm... Now that I think of it, if the character limit is increased I might actually go with Belldandy this time. I always, always use Irene; maybe X&Y can be a new trend for me.
|
If we get to name our rival I'll usually give us related names that compliment each other, I rarely use real names on recent playthroughs as well so I'm not sure. Definitely going to start thinking about it now though!
|
Hmm... I am not sure. I try to give myself a different name for every game. I haven't really thought of what I am going to name myself in Gen 6. I will probably name myself after an anime character x3
|
in gen 1-3 i used my real name, Zack. In gen 4 i was Dawn because i love her so much, and in gen 5, i was that one guy who put in whacky/funny names for my character.
|
I would name my character Jambo (as usual). I have named them Jambo ever since I first played Pokemon and it is my nickname in real life. I think naming them after myself makes it feel more like i'm going on the adventure. :t172:
|
I always name myself Ketchup, but since I'm playing this time with the girl might just call her Mirinda, or maybe another name that begins with X or Y...
LOL I'm not even a food addict but if you must know... Spoiler:
|
I never pick my name or even my gender beforehand.
|
I'll probably name myself "Chris" since thats the name i use in every game
|
I'm excited just for the fact that I can think of more creative names for my rival (if they let me name him/her).
I can only name my rival Wiener so many times before it loses its shine. |
http://www.pokemonxy.com/_ui/img/_en/screenshots/june_p14_04.jpg
I wonder if that's just a place holder or the official name, it certainly sounds fitting. |
^ I noticed that too, but it could just as well be a placeholder really. We had Blair and Whitlea in the BW demo, but they were changed. Not many other names beginning with X though. :P
I assume we'll have more space for our names this time. Access to more symbols would be cool too. I'll probably name my character something French and awesome-sounding. Haven't decided on what. |
Just need Yvonne or Yvette for the female now.
|
I will say Thomas or Tom or if I can Thomasaurousrex.
|
For some reason i appear to name myself Ruby. I don't know why.
|
i have always used my nickname Mo. Won't bring much difference
|

Meh, my real name is 7 characters long but I never used it - never liked having to use the D-pad to type it in so I always shortened it to Ani. xD But I'll be using Ciel from now on though for Online Purposes.
|
In Gen5 I was first Zeus, then Zena, then Athena, Julius...
Zeus has become my go-to name for RPGs. But what will my name be for Gen6? Maurice, or Gilbert |
I'll go with the same name I've been using since Pokémon Pearl: JoJo..
It's my nickname and I do like the fact that all my Pokés from gen IV will be having the same OT! |
I name them the name of the main character. Sounds fitting.
|
I always go by Marlo. It's the name I choose for myself even though it does not match my real name. It's just the nickname I use because it's unisex and I often like to choose between the genders of characters (as I identify as androgynous in reality).
|
As of late I've been using Lost, so I'll probably end up using that. Short, simple, easy to remember. And also easy to type in.
|
Georgie, perhaps. It's cute and preppy! After all, it is based in Europe. xD
|
I'll name my character after myself, Megan. It's simpler and easier to remember.
|
I name him whatever the game name is, so heartgold is called...gold. I know, not very exciting.
|
I had a friend when I was little named Mary-Ellen. She was always mad her name didn't fit.
I'm going to name my character Annabel, as always. |
Jonathan, my real name. Oh yeah. Guys I found out about the protagonist's official names. Yvonne and Xavier. I saw a picture at the official news web of pokemon x y and I saw two of the protagonist' name on a multiplayer battle. Not sure though but I'm definitely positive about this because its the official site.
|
I like to make up stories about my in game Avatar.
I will be Maurice, the Sea-Sword. My team is Krabby, Corphish, Clauncher, Drapion, and Clefairy. Not that my in-game team will be that redundant. Maurice likes crustaceans. Drapion is a arachnid, but... but... HE HAS A SHELL. |
I'll name my character as usual, me: Nathan.
|
After seeing Serena I will definitely take Yvonne.
|
For once I'm gonna break tradition of naming em after myself and use the official name, aka, I'm gonna be using Calem as my name, although since the game also has you pick a nickname (via Shauna) I'm gonna use my real name as the Nickname.
|
I always name my character 'Hamako' to make it easier to trade with others on PC.
|
Mine is Akihiko xP in any game .
I rarely choose another name |
Rhodes or Drake. No idea why
|
Usually I pick Spade or Jazz. Why?
Nostalgia, that's why. (I used to be Jazz on another forum that broke up a while ago) |
I have always stuck with default names whenever I chose my hero's name, so I guess I will keep that tradition of mine going. :P
|
I usually just named mine Halo, which is my nickname :)
|
My character's name was J-K many years and I have no idea why. Lately I have used Noops. The name comes from one insider joke.
|
I've used MIAU in all my Gen V games + Emerald, so I guess I'll just stick to it for Gen VI as well.
|
I always call the male character Ness...I've always liked Earthbound, and the male protagonists in the Pokemon series always have some similarities to Ness. Maybe just a few, but similarities are similarities.
|
I usually name mine Cliona or Cli, after myself!
I don't know, there's just something a lot more thrilling and inclusive about your name being in the game. For example, I replayed PMD recently. Usually, I name myself Cliona, but this time I named myself Charma, the Charmander. It just doesn't feel so close to your heart when you're not in the game :/ So I think I'm going to stick to Cliona for my X/Y playthrough :) |
My last post was Georgie, but I think I will go with Cecilia. It relates to me, in a way you will never know... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! c:<
My Pikmin can never know. O#O |
I have and always will use Kromeus. i use that name in everything i do :P . It was originally a Dungeons and Dragons character XD
|
I use Rachel. That's not my name, but it's one of my favorite names and holds a special place in my heart for various reasons.
|
I am Korben, will forever use my name.
|
My actual name is exactly seven letters so it doesn't bother me. I'll be naming my character Vent this time around though. :3
|
I was thinking of naming my character Ryudo after an anime character. Or if I can come up with something better.
|
I usually name myself Finn and my brother is always Jake. It won't affect me much.
|
I have a lot of different names in mind. Most of them are k-star related.
Narsha Jiyeon Soyeon Byul ♥ |
Serena is actually one of my favorite names so I might actually go with that name for the game! If not that name, then unless I can think of another name I will probably just go with my real name.
|
It doesn't really affect me. I will still use the name Alex if I'm a male and if I do play as a female I'll probably still use Amanda as her name.
|
My name will be Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! ...Oh, wait. Probably not enough space.
In that case, I'll probably call meself 'Dude', because I usually call myself that when I can't think of anything better. |
This might be easier for me seeing as I have different names in each version. Most of my names are 1-2 spaces away from the end. More space would definitely help me. I make it difficult so I chose names that only start with H or S.
|
For Pokemon X Version I'll name my character 'Joel' after the protagonist in the recently released video game 'The Last of Us' ... For Y, I haven't decided on a name yet... The character limit will not effect me though, never needed more than 7 characters.
|
I name my Trainer/Pokémon based on themes.
Switching the letters around can't break the limit, but maybe I'll think of something that takes advantage of the extra letters. |
Me and my little brother had an agreement when he started playing pokemon: I will start all the games he plays agin with my own name and he will use his name. so far when i use my name i am getting lucky A LOT!!! so i decided a year ago i will just stick with that so my name would be Idan like every other game.
|
Mine would be Amogha or Ganesha just depending on my mood, I use them just because it is my real name... :D
