I name them their actual name :p I don't like using random names, prefer having them be the actual character as decided by Game Freak.

Gen. I (and its remakes) are kinda funny, name them Green in japanese versions and Blue in the english ones, because I want to follow his Gen. II name.

My own player character though, I name after myself, because that character is me.

I know the first time I played FireRed, I named him Gary 2.0 since it was basically a done-up Blue. And he looks like Gary. I thought I was hilarious.

I usually named him one of my friends names. Though when I was lazy I'd choose Gary or one of the preset ones.

Me too since I watched the anime first.

I named Him Neil from dragon ball z because he's pretty cool and its a pretty nice name
:D

When I did that short-lived play of a borrowed Leaf Green copy, I think the rival was named Alex on that save file that was there. Other than that, if I were to have played an actual playthrough I would have just named him Blue.

I usually name them with the theme I am using for my Pokemon nicknames. For instance, if I did a Rome theme, I could name my rival Brutus. Apart from that I just name it one of my friends names so I can win constantly and make myself feel superior :3

I usually give them my brothers name or I given them the name of someone I really don't like at that time!

Brendino November 8th, 2015 12:18 AM

I generally go with the default name for my rival, but because I was used to his name from the second gen games, I went with Blue rather than Green. In fact, even though I've played through FireRed a few times now, I think I named my rival Blue every time, haha.

TheGlacinGlalies November 8th, 2015 12:27 AM

i named him stinky and then everytime he said smell ya later i told him ur smelling urself genius!

Nectar November 8th, 2015 10:55 AM

I named him 'a snail'. xD

It did actually make for a few entertaining lines in the game though, such as "Er, was it a snail? That's right! I remember, his name is a snail!" :P

Flute November 8th, 2015 7:07 PM

Moog. Every time.

I have no idea why or how it started.

JJ Styles November 19th, 2015 11:00 PM

Dinkelburg even if it didn't fit. Mainly since its a reference to Fairly Odd Parents.

Witchcraft November 20th, 2015 8:05 AM

I've named him various things. Usually Green. I think once I named him like.. Ralph or Raleigh or something like that. Don't remember why!
I also named hi Gary when I was little after the anime character.

Kayges November 20th, 2015 5:16 PM

I usually end up naming my rival Richard and I have no idea why. Somewhere in my head it just makes sense.
...
I don't even know anyone named Richard. ~_~
