What Did You Name Your Rival?
 
Personally Myself, I Named My Rival Something Funny. What Did You Name Your Rival?

Danny0317 March 25th, 2014 8:28 AM

Douchebag, Dip♥♥♥♥, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, Blue, Green, or just some of the default names there.

Nidoking76 March 25th, 2014 10:12 AM

Although I really haven't played any of the games were you can name him something, I am sure that if I did, I would either name him Butthead, Jerkface, Smuggymaggoo, or Applesauce.

RemixinROMulus March 25th, 2014 10:30 AM

Most people I know of, including myself, named him Gary, which is his anime counterpart. His real name for the games is Blue.

Evoker102 March 25th, 2014 12:14 PM

I named him @$$Fu** xD and I winded up losin to him every time

mangamusicfan March 25th, 2014 12:19 PM

I named Him Garry Because of the Anime

xxReshiramxx March 25th, 2014 1:11 PM

I went with the TV show name Gary for the rival.

Hiatus March 25th, 2014 2:07 PM

Like most of you, I wound up naming him Gary. That's who I thought he was, initially. xD;; I later learned that his actual name is Blue, so in my second run of FireRed, that's what I decided to name him.

KazukoHimura March 25th, 2014 5:43 PM

Didn't start with the funny names until I read Super Effective.

Brendino March 25th, 2014 11:49 PM

I was always the boring kid that never gave my rivals a funny name in any of the games, so I just went with the default Blue in FireRed.

Zorogami March 26th, 2014 1:13 AM

I usually named him Gary when i was younger, then i started naming him after my brother, nower days i just name him the first thing that comes to mind

Kikaito plush March 26th, 2014 1:20 AM

I named him Green as that is his Japanese name.

Evening March 26th, 2014 3:35 AM

Named him Blue as always.

pokemasta92 March 26th, 2014 12:55 PM

I only name my rival GARY in Pokemon Yellow because it's truly based off of the anime. In Pokemon Green/LeafGreen/Red/FireRed/Blue I name him BLUE which is his official name. Although sometimes I like to name him after my brother.

Eevee March 26th, 2014 12:58 PM

I named him Gary from the Pokemon anime. I always see him as Gary now, even though that's not his real name. x3

Elements1 March 26th, 2014 8:47 PM

I usually name all my rivals either "Swagmaster" or "Ash". This time I chose Ash for a little switcharoo :P

AoTora March 29th, 2014 9:36 AM

I usually go with some random generic name xD Like Alex, John etc. Or one of the deafult names if I have no other ideas.

pengoy April 17th, 2014 11:34 AM

i usually go with the girl as the player and i name Gary "DUMBO" or "CHEAPS" or other bad names not worth mentioning! i laugh so hard when u encounter him and "*INSERT BAD NAME* wants to battle..."

AlexanderCR--- April 19th, 2014 10:15 AM

Idiot
I my rival in Pokémon Yellow first I put "Gary" as it is called in the anime. Then I put "Paul" because that's my best friend: P
In FireRed, the name I gave him was "Blue" ^ ^
Greetings!

Apollo April 20th, 2014 5:12 PM

Gary, Blue or Green. I usually use the default names in normal playthroughs. Otherwise, I'd go crazy and name him Jessica or something. xD;

Kenna18155 May 2nd, 2014 7:13 AM

I've named my rival Gary in every single game I've ever played (except for dang Brendan ugh) just because I watched the anime as a kid, and that's what I knew him as.

Lusus May 3rd, 2014 2:51 AM

Random generic insulting name

Captain Gizmo May 3rd, 2014 11:48 AM

I named my rival Gary or Blue. Since I don't really have any names in mind for rival and just a little dedication to the anime and manga :P

DragonMasterJorge May 3rd, 2014 1:04 PM

I named him Bob Key,don't ask me why.


//=========================================================//
So,I have a Wish,I Wish that someone make a Hack that you is the rival(I'd maek one,but i don't know howand i can't see any tutorial because i'm from Brazil,so my english)

Aether★ May 3rd, 2014 1:06 PM

I named mine "G-Gary" and when I see him I always stutter "OH MY GOD IT'S G-G-G-GARY!"

Shadowraze May 3rd, 2014 3:48 PM

At first of course I name it Gary then later on changed to Blue. xD

Sheep May 19th, 2014 1:58 PM

Gary because he's Gary. Might've gone with Green a few times too but Gary's always my go-to; can't see him named anything else.

Pepperton May 19th, 2014 9:16 PM

For anime-nostalgia purposes, I named him Gary the first run through. It definitely gave some personality to the rival that was otherwise absent, haha. After that first time, I went back to my usual protocol and gave him my brothers' name.

Altairis May 19th, 2014 10:10 PM

I really suck at thinking of names and I had already named my GSC rival something inappropriate so I just went with Gary this time.

morrison May 19th, 2014 11:54 PM

boring ;) i named him green. )and i play as blue)

CallumDe May 20th, 2014 6:57 AM

I named my rival Harry (my little brother), Chris (my uncle who got me playing pokemon) or Mike (my best friend) or Sven (my actual rival)

Itcheeee June 8th, 2014 12:29 PM

I always end up naming them the official names. Or anime names. :P

AluminiumOxide July 4th, 2014 11:41 PM

I mostly named my villian Gray. But sometime i name him something funny like "CowTheCrus" Or "OuHo Mamma" ha ha

SuperEspeon July 7th, 2014 12:01 PM

I dont know, really depended on the day.
At times I would name him Bub, because damn that's a stupid name, and our rival is just such an utter douchebag, and deserves a name like that.
Or sometimes Id name him Gary, cuz you know, anime Gary Oak, and youve gotta keep in tradition.
And sometimes Id name him something vulgar and offensive, because ♥♥♥♥ him. Like Douche, or Tool.
Or randomly, Id just choose something cool like Kaz.

Tifk July 8th, 2014 7:32 AM

Before I really understood the whole storyline of pokemon (Red, Green, and Blue). I named him ♥♥♥♥♥er.

xOkazaki July 9th, 2014 12:42 PM

I'm not very imaginative so I usually just went with Green xD

greenshrub July 9th, 2014 5:39 PM

I think I just stuck with Gary.
My brother, on the other hand, named him Poop.

mushimaster July 16th, 2014 4:31 AM

Usually something stupid or vulgar. If not that then Gary or Red.

Bretifur July 27th, 2014 4:56 PM

I have named my rival Garry since I can remember.

The Serious Table July 27th, 2014 5:56 PM

Omfg. I usually called him F--- she. And myself, f--- I.
Why? You see, when I'd do something for ex. Save the game, it would say "F---! I saved the game." It was so funny. Then again I was 11 so everything was funny.

DarkBuizel July 27th, 2014 10:53 PM

I tend to name them after my real life friends. There best part is that they'll never know.

tgage July 27th, 2014 11:09 PM

I named him Green or Gary in FR/LG since i liked both manga and anime alike. I also name him of my friend's name so that it become more competetive.

Dying Light July 29th, 2014 9:44 PM

I named my rival BrnNsr (Brownnoser) because although he wasn't very good at it, he liked saying "Smell ya later!" and it provided comedic relief when he would randomly appear out of nowhere to battle me.

dresden_88 July 31st, 2014 2:00 AM

I've always found the "rival" to be a bit more of the "anti-hero" character based on the tv series and kept that thought going and since I always end up naming my character Dresden (based on the Dresden Files book series), I figured why not name my rival on one of the Anti-Heros from the book series? So, I end up naming my rival in FrLg "Thomas". I used to name him some pretty vulgar stuff >_>

Aether★ July 31st, 2014 4:46 AM

I named mine G-gary, because I always like to imagine my character stuttering his name every single time he appears. Stupid, I know.

Scotash! August 2nd, 2014 7:49 AM

I named him Greenay, mostly because I named myself Reddish.

KamikazeSSoH August 2nd, 2014 8:28 AM

I name Green,Gary or just my best friend name lol

Tetra August 11th, 2014 8:47 PM

Blue, Green or Gary. Or I've just given him a random name like Roger, Joe or Matt. Never had that much creativity with rival names! I usually end up naming him Green the most though, because obviously that's one of the default names, haha.

Darkhelmet August 11th, 2014 9:37 PM

I just name it Gary, because it's Gary Motherf***in Oak. It's satisfying to beat him lol

Indifferent August 12th, 2014 12:18 PM

I've given him some pretty vulgar names before but, for the sake of keeping this post G rated, I usually just go with Blue.

Haha, that's actually hilarious. Why couldn't I think of such a thing?

Stormerbuzz35 August 13th, 2014 2:38 PM

Usualy d***** or b**** cause they all just lose to me, but some times I get creative and think up some thing really funny. One of the best was ''a dog''. Just replace any rival name with that haha
Latest rival name is in Blaze Black 2. I named the rival Betty :P

CJoE August 13th, 2014 4:05 PM

I just name it joc¡ker, gary or red..thats quite satisfying for me..

EvDevKevMelv August 13th, 2014 9:03 PM

I named him Buck............................25 characters

Amore August 14th, 2014 6:35 AM

I usually name him Green, after the PokéSpe character (Reading the manga, plus boredom, is why I eventually bought LeafGreen in '08). Sometimes Gary though because he seems more like the cocky guy out of the anime than wise old Green.
After HeartGold / SoulSilver came out I've started naming him Blue instead of Green because otherwise the name change would just irritate me.

Bryanpiuma August 15th, 2014 1:38 PM

Most times its Green, but ive like to name him "Loser"

shreddedbullet August 18th, 2014 8:02 AM

I usually name him Gary, though when I name my character Red, that's when I'll name him Blue.

pyx August 24th, 2014 8:30 AM

Umm, I named him something I'm not sure I can mention here...*steps back into the darkness*
