I highly recommend you edit your post JaDe, because that will get you in trouble with the mods.

POKEGAMERZ9185 June 11th, 2015 8:00 PM

I recommend that the rival be named after a color.

KittiOcelotti June 17th, 2015 3:25 PM

Gary. I used to be a big fan of the anime so I named him that.

kyuubi93 July 3rd, 2015 3:29 PM

I used to always name my FRLG rivals after Gary Oak, but as I grew up I started giving him different names. Now I usually name my rival after one of my friends, so that way when I win a rival battle while I'm hanging out with my friend, I can clown on them and say "I just whooped you fam hashtag that"

Named mine Dinkleberg!

Bounsweet July 3rd, 2015 8:29 PM

Over the countless times I played through my Leaf Green version, I never grabbed the opportunity to name my rival something like asshole or the likes. I believe I named him Gary most of the time, as that was the name I'd always identified him with, so I didn't really see much reason to name him anything else I guess. The funny thing is that he was the only rival this ever applied to (aside from the R/B rival since they're basically the same), as in most of the other games, I'd usually find some kind of condescending name to call my rival, but for the Kanto rival, it was just mostly always Gary, which I guess is just from how the anime has influenced me.

I named him Blue, because that's his canon name.

Apollo July 11th, 2015 6:31 PM

I named him Green when I played LeafGreen for the first time, I think. I also recalled naming him Annie and Rosie in future playthroughs. x)

S-MAN July 18th, 2015 7:55 PM

I named my rival after my cousin Chris hahaha :-P
He's the only person who really plays with me so that naturally makes him my rival.

KorpiklaaniVodka July 20th, 2015 1:20 PM

I named my rival Dumbass, Faggot, Jerk, etc.

Gandhi Savage July 20th, 2015 1:34 PM

It really depended on the playthrough really. I think I named him Gary during my first playthorugh of FireRed but would name him after my friends I used to play in real life with for a long time e.g. Jack, Thomas, Dylan. In more recent times I've called him Green, like he is in the original manga.


Lord Cloud July 21st, 2015 7:25 AM

Sergio just because

PKMNTrainer_Kato August 22nd, 2015 6:25 AM

I named my rival KING. I dunno why just kind of fits since my character is named KATO. Two 4 letter names.

KATO defeated KING!

Xencleamas August 22nd, 2015 10:13 AM

I've been naming my best friend to the rival. If I'm going to play as girl, then I'm going to name my rival with my name.

💀DUSKIZARD💀 August 26th, 2015 6:33 AM

At first I named him Ian, don't know why, it just spoke to me as an enemy name. Then in other games (when I was young) stuck to the name Poohead. Even these days I name him poohead. It reminds me of my old games.

Micael Alighieri August 26th, 2015 7:54 AM

I named him Stupid, and I kept calling the rivals that way until I got my Pokemon Pearl card. Then, I became lazy and just picked up the standart names.

Kikaito plush August 31st, 2015 7:17 AM

I named him after my best friend-"Martin"

Lucifer August 31st, 2015 6:07 PM

He is Spike in my Fire Red and I am Angel.
My trainer and Rival names are almost always fandom inspired and the Rival's personality in FR/LG fits perfectly as Spike from the Buffy/Angel series.

In Leaf Green I don't recall what his name is but I plan to reset that game when I am able to trade my shiny Machop off it.

SoupSipper September 11th, 2015 6:06 PM

I named him Nam, after the guy Goku battled in the World Martial Arts Tournament in Dragon Ball.

DyingWillFlareon September 12th, 2015 11:15 AM

I just tried to name him Felix and accidentally named him Felg. >w> Keeping it.

Bounsweet September 12th, 2015 12:32 PM

I always went with Oscar lmao. It just seems to suit him imo.

Raskolnikov September 14th, 2015 4:43 PM

I named him "Sencer" because Sencer is my brothers name. :D
