Judge Mandolore Shepard March 1st, 2016 7:21 AM

Well since I give myself the name Mando in game, I of course gave my rival the name Revan.

I named mine Blenny because I wanted a name that started with a B that sounded obviously fake. In Red on the VC, anyway. Not sure what I'll name him in Blue or Yellow.

Guest123_x1 March 1st, 2016 8:33 AM

In Yellow, I used one of the default name choices, Gary-given how Yellow was a tie-in to the anime. In Blue, which I haven't started yet on the Virtual Console, I plan on naming the rival after my cousin who got me into Pokémon in the first place (who I have long considered to be a rival of sorts.)
Not sure yet on naming the characters in Red, though.

§acred†Beo! March 1st, 2016 8:48 AM

My rivals name is Zypher.

RedJ March 1st, 2016 12:12 PM

Green, because that's his name and I am creative.

illumine March 1st, 2016 1:07 PM

Assuming this isn't just about the new releases, I did use Mandy as their name on a vaguely recent playthrough, which was three times as good a name as Gary.

EC March 1st, 2016 1:49 PM

I went with Blue, because I'll be naming myself Ash in Yellow, and thus my rival in that version will be Gary.

chrisluketaylor March 2nd, 2016 5:06 AM

I always went with gary in kanto regions to tie in with the anime and the fact that gary is Oak's grandson. But my player name changed on each version:

On yellow I was always Ash
On red I was always Ace
On blue I was always Chris

Astinus March 2nd, 2016 2:38 PM

I just went with GARY, because I wasn't feeling creative at the time. Which is why I'm HUNTER.

Pokemon Game Fan March 2nd, 2016 4:10 PM

Arik. For a certain reason I'd rather not say. 8-)

Bay March 2nd, 2016 6:08 PM

I named my rival Burr because I'm obsessed with Hamilton the Musical, haha. I should have named myself Hamilton instead of Bay, but I gave the name to my Pikachu instead. Don't ask, lol.

(I was originally going to just go with Gary, but eh wanted to have a bit of fun with naming a rival and I really don't have anyone in real life I despise, soooo).

Melody March 2nd, 2016 8:02 PM

My Rival in Yellow is named Zero[/Pk/][/Mn/]. No real reason for this name; just that I was randomly casting about for a name for my rival and couldn't find someone to name them after so I just let my mind's "PRNG" decide on something.

...yeah. There is absolutely 0 logic behind this name.

Imperator161 March 2nd, 2016 8:16 PM

All of my rivals have been named S. When I first began Red, I didn't want to use the typical rival names that my friends used (like "Douche"), nor did I want to go with one of the preset names. I decided to pick a letter of the alphabet that I disliked, and for some reason, I settled on S. I'm not sure why I disliked the letter S (it's not my favorite letter, but it's probably in the top 50% at this point, or at least not in the bottom 25%), but it stuck. I have used it in every game since then, and when I started up Red a couple of days ago, I entered it without really thinking too much of it.

TCB March 2nd, 2016 9:29 PM

I named my rival in Yellow Sayquan. Why? I named him after my childhood friend, who I was thinking of randomly the night I brought the game off the eShop. I remember us playing the old games together a lot so this is my way of referencing that.

Charlie Brown March 3rd, 2016 3:44 AM

I named him Gazza, Gary's far too formal a name for him tbh

splight86 March 4th, 2016 8:03 AM

named mine after my brother. Him and I started playing back when it originally came out. He is in the military and on deployment overseas so I think it is only fitting.

Retro Bug March 4th, 2016 8:26 AM

Ollie, because I was listening to Years & Years when I started the game.

SparkLord March 18th, 2016 6:21 PM

i named him Nose, and my name was Fart. Only for this line:
Smell ya later, FART!

Morkula March 18th, 2016 10:41 PM

Back in my younger days it was always Ash and Gary in RBY. Then as I got older it was just Red and Blue since that's the canonical (US, at least) names for them in the games. But in my eShop Yellow playthrough, I went with Ash and Gary since it's based on the anime.

mikey March 20th, 2016 4:29 PM

I also went with Gary. For nostalgia. I usually named him that in the past as well. Sometimes I would name him Blue too.

Sydian March 21st, 2016 9:23 AM

Well, for my VC Red, I named myself Ludger, so naturally my rival is Julius. :) Back in the day though, I think I just named him Gary, but that got boring. So I got creative and named him ONIONS in all caps just like that. Because I hate onions.

Jetfire March 21st, 2016 1:37 PM

Deeznuts.

Lavits March 21st, 2016 2:27 PM

Anyone ever have a playthrough as AAAAAAAA with the rival AAAAAAAA. Had a friend that started a game while falling asleep.. wouldn't stop mashing that A button I guess. I STILL make fun of him for his laziness. :P

pokefreaker May 19th, 2016 12:40 AM

i called him rival....
