I dont normally nickname my pokemon. Maybe ill go back and do that.

My Name: Julius (Caesar) - I've been working with that script lately

Rival Name: Beowulf - Dunno Why

Female Emboar - Pig Mama BIG MAMA'S HOUSE (not that i like the movie, it was just an easy pun.)

I used the default names. Was so ready to play didn't feel like naming anything too spectacular lol.
I dont nickname my pokes.

Name: Ace (Because it sounds awesome)
Rival: Hugh (Because i don't care and he isn't worthy of anything but a default name)

Name: Norah - because.
Rival: Hugh, because I like default rival names when they aren't colours.

Aron: Interdum
Riolu: Aurum
Magnemite: Wheatley.
All because I plan on switching them for my properly trained team after the 8th badge.

Name: Awaken
Rival: Hugh

Servine
Growlithe

Name - Kobe (Not after the basketball player, but after the city in japan: Kobe, Japan...Plus I thought that name fit his design, I dunno)

Rival - Meca (Actually, I named him after a character from Def Jam: Fight for NY! Meca's opening quote use to make me 'LOL' And how the rival wants to beat Team Plasma down so bad made me think it would fit...again, I dunno, man)

Pokemon - They don't have nicknames.

myself: Ashley
my Rival: just used his default name
my starter: Lee the oshawott
other pokemon on team: Victini( can't nickname events) Rija the Raticate and Shaun the Flaffy

they are first names I could think of.

Even though I don't have the games yet, I can still post what I'll name myself, my rival and my Pokemon.

Myself: Nichole (my real name!)

Rival: Hugh (I often use default names for rivals)

Pokemon: I don't give them nicknames.

I named my character in Black 2 Jeremy as always, and I'll be naming my character in White 2 Mei, since I'll be playing that through with the female character and I hate the name Rosa. I called my rival Tai, not really sure why. Probably would've suited my character better, since he is reminiscent of Tai from Digimon, but still.

I don't nickname my Pokémon.

I chose Jub for my name simply because I named my character my real name in Pokemon Black, and since I was intending to use the memory link with it I decided I'd be better off naming myself something different. Jub is just a shortening of Superjub, a name I used on a lot of forums/websites. :) As for my rival, I named him James since I always used to play Pokemon with my brother and I always name my rivals after him. :)

Just noticed that you asked what we named our Pokemon. xD Well, I only really nickname the Pokemon in my main team, and so far I have called my Samurott Otto, my Magneton Magneto, my Crobat Vladimir and my Lucario Rio. /sucksatgivingpokemongoodnicknamesbutdoesitanyway. xD

I usually play Male in the first games (because I'm male) and then I play as a female in the third version. (It's becoming tradition at this point)

I called my character Velma, partially as a tribute to Velma from Scooby Doo but I also like the name. I called my rival Thomas.....probably because I was watching Regular Show and they added a new character called Thomas and I liked the name.

I don't nickname my pokemon, it just bothers me too much.

I've got White 2, and I named my character Wyatt, because my character in White 1 is named Blake. ...You get it? =P

I kept my rival's name Hugh, because I really liked the little reference behind the name. I always was a fan of meaningful names. :)

And finally, I don't nickname my Pokemon because I think their original names are already great anyway.

Myself: Janna (my real name)
Rival: Hugh, because I like to use the official names!
My Pokemon: Nothing.. it's quicker for me to just not nickname them, haha. XD;

So yeah, I'm not very interesting.

Player: Ashley
Rival: Oscar

Team is changing a lot, but based off food for the most part.
Right now, I've got these guys:

Sashimi the Dewott
Chipotle the Growlithe
Meringue the Jolteon
Hazelnut the Sawsbuck
Berry Cake the Grumpig
Limeade the Vibrava
