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.
