Your name/Rival's name
 
What are you going to name yourself and your Rival?

[my real name] for my name
And for my Rival, I haven't decided yet cuz she's a girl, but my buds and I have a tradition of a...colorful variety of names. I'll decide later.


Your names?

Đ a r κ November 25th, 2006 9:12 AM

Hmm I havent thought of that......My name will probubly be [Real name] and my rival's name will be my teacher's name.

..:i n n e r_宇 宙:.. November 25th, 2006 11:14 AM

?

The Rival you are naming is the fugly boy with the blond hair who shouts swear words every time he bumps into you.

Anyways, I named my guy the first three letters of my real name, which I'm not telling (X-D) and I named my Rival HIRO. Yeah, I'm really weird.

Ha ha.

If you didn't know, I believe HIRO is the name of the original boy hero in Gold/Silver.

Nookling November 25th, 2006 1:25 PM

Aren't there two rivals? The blond one and the opposite-gender version of your character.

Bippa November 25th, 2006 3:37 PM

Oh yeah. One of them helps you...I think that is Hikari/other D/P guy.

羨望 November 25th, 2006 6:49 PM

I just will choose the standard English name that was given for my name,For the rival whatever name thats's appears in the screen.





Ren-Kun

doesn't matter November 25th, 2006 8:43 PM

Yeah, I'll probably name myself Diamond, and that weird blonde guy Pearl, cause that's their actual names.

But I'm actually considering choosing the girl, cause the Diamond also looks weird.

Vanilla Kitsune November 25th, 2006 8:53 PM

I'll name my character my name (Dara), and the rival some Zatch Bell character name. ._.

Owning the Japanese game already, I named my player character ケント (Kent). My rival's name is ジュン (Jun), which is a common Japanese name but is also one of the default choices in the name selection list.

But that has been the tradition throughout the series, so I think it's pretty safe to assume so.

eureKa^ November 26th, 2006 3:05 AM

to be honest, ill do what i usually do, call my player (who will be a girl) lauren, my girlfriends name and call the rival ollie (my name)

pretty sad, but the girl sprites are cuter :P (and i've always played a girl since crystal version)

Samson November 26th, 2006 6:51 AM

well, i think i'll keep with my actual gender this time and keep with my tradition poke trainer name: SAMSO, since i'll engage in WiFi activities.

i say "actual" cus well...XD since ruby i started to notice that girl trainers seemed luckier for some reason. i tested this theory out, and with using 6 different pokemon, it seemed that with attacks, my girl trainer was 12% luckier. why? i don't know, but my consistent female name is SAMRI XDD.

i think i'll name my rival my sister's name. that'll send her a message.

Shiny_Latios November 26th, 2006 12:46 PM

My name well my name lol but i do i grammaticaly by having capitals an dlower it looks wierd to begin with but then it looks cool

Matt11 November 26th, 2006 1:06 PM

I'll probably call myself either Matt, Kai, Shadow, Kaiba, Seto or maybe Matt11 for Wifi purposes...

My rival will probably be called someones name that I don't like or some ugly name...

The Fallen November 26th, 2006 5:33 PM

I usually make it Ash. Although I may decide on a new more original one when I do get one of the games.

Shruikan November 27th, 2006 9:58 AM

I'll probably name my character Faolan, for no real reason except that I like the sound of it, and I used to roleplay a character called that. And my rival? Akamai. No real reason there either..

Bippa November 27th, 2006 12:37 PM

In fact, I won't name myself my real name...Wi-Fi reasons. Probably name myself something really stupid...oh well, a good 5-6 months till release.

what? November 27th, 2006 3:18 PM

you should name the rival a dumb name because the boy looks dumb. :-P

I've named myself "Cartman" (based on Eric Cartman) many times in the poemon games, but seeing how many ppl might also use that name, i'll just call myself by my real name :/

how many characters can be in your name btw?

Bippa November 27th, 2006 4:08 PM

Probably the same number as all the other games...I'm not sure of an exact amount but I think 10.

..:i n n e r_宇 宙:.. November 27th, 2006 4:13 PM

In the Japanese version, there is only 5 characters you can use, and 7 for the English version.

I don't know the Pokemon nickname characters though, but that doesn't mean anything for this thread.

I know this because my name is exactly 6 characters, and I can only write ****R, and V*****_ (*=spaces I use, _= leftover space) in every game I play Pokemon with. It's really easy to memorize once you play almost every game.

I hope this helps.

Taemin November 27th, 2006 5:00 PM

Most of my Pokemon game files are named 'Drew'...so I'll probably stick with that... Or just use my RL nickname, Fuu.

As for my rival...I dunno...I might just leave it 'Diamond' or something. xD

...Pokemon's on....must go watch. xp

Ayano Katagiri November 27th, 2006 5:39 PM

I just named mine ヒカリ(Hikari) because I couldnt be bothered playing as the guy and I named my rival.... well I cant remember right now so I'll check later.

Esupio November 28th, 2006 11:07 AM

Myself: Esupio (online name alot)

Rival: Flare

Dunno why

Beta Trainer November 28th, 2006 1:51 PM

I'll probably name the real trainer after myself and then my rival after my real life rival. Lets call him 'Clyde'.

^^

Lavabyle November 28th, 2006 5:21 PM

I would name myself...well....myself, and name my rival muffin, cus its just funny when you bump into muffin, and challenges you. Muffin wants to battle! [note:] my dog being named muffin has nothing to do with this decision <.< >.>

Luиαrglοω November 28th, 2006 5:31 PM

I usually name myself after one of my cats (Alumi or Tarea), and my rival after some person I hate.
