I named myself Brianna, of course, but...
Rival-Devin. I named him after that because Devin is the name of one of my best friends. :)

Serperior-Cadel, cuz it's a cute name for a cute pokemon.
Lucario-Raok. It's just a random name I came up with.
Arcanine-Dash. It's the first name that came into mind, so Dash she is.
Swanna-Regina, after one of my favorite artists, Regina Spektor
Zoroark is just Zoroark... It's N's, so I can't name it. But he's lovely anyways. <3
Cinccino-Vato, after one of my bestest buddies on here, who is also coincidentally Vato. :P

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 - 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.

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.
