I name my character Andre, because it's my name. I used the default name for my rival, since I have no rivals in real life and I named my Oshawott Aqua. I know, not very original, but I like things simple.

I always use my real name, my best friends name as my rival, and i rarely nickname my pokemon (i named my lugia bird and my kyogre jeep. Also accidently nicknamed my latias latiar.)

I named myself Alice, because that's my name, and I named my rival Thor, because Thor is badass.
The only member of my current team that has a nickname is Psy, my Psyduck.
Because Gangnam Style! :3

Me (main attraction~)
Well, I named my main girl Ami. None of you have read them, but I've written poems, and Ami is my fave OC next to Hi (means Fire), Muko (means Void), and Kuro Rose (Means Black Rose XD).

My Rival (the extra who tags along)
My Rival was named after another OC, In the same poem as Ami. I named him Akira~

My Team (I just started the game an hour ago and played for twenty minutes, so be nice)
Starter Oshawott = Dewdrop. Tribute to my starter in Black (Named Dewey. lv100 Dewott, haha)
New Purrloin = Elicia. Just a random name that seemed to fit...

My name: Pieman
-I've named myself PIEMAN before, so...

Rival's Name: Crono
-o.o I don't have a reason. Do I need one?

Pokemon Nicknames:
Sora/Dewott: Named after Sora of Kingdom Hearts.
Riku/Lucario: Named after Riku of Kingdom Hearts.
Neku/Growlithe: Named after Neku of TWEWY.
Shiki/Ampharos: Named after Shiki of TWEWY.
Shalee/Audino: Named after a character from a book I read.
Roxas/Unfeazant: Out of names, used Roxas because I had Sora and Riku.

It's hilarious, because I swore that I was going to name everyone after Legend of Korra characters. And yet, I get Square Enix. Go me!

My name in-game is Wolfram and my rival is Rubidus. All my pokés, just as well, are named after chemical elements.

The main character is Tungsten and the rival is after Rubidium, mainly becauuse he's really reactive like the alkali metal and wears red. Rubidus is greek for red, as far as I know.

Then again, I might restart the whole game just to name the rival Caesius, since he's even more reactive and has blue hair. That and I dislike Rubidus in anything not named Darmanitan.

Timburr: Juggernaut, Conkeldurr's 140 Base Attack speaks for itself.

Golett: Gundam, he's an automation so yeah.

Archen: ApexKiller (ApexPredator didn't fit), Archeops + 140 Base Attack + stab Stone Edge & Acrobatics... yeah lol.

Vanillite: Mr.Frosty, he's an ice cream cone >.<

Litwick: AstralLord, I honestly couldn't think of anything else.

Pawniard: Hitman, we all know that Bisharp is a little shady XD.

Whenever I get to nickname myself and others in the games, I tend to use Latin names. So I did again this time, haha.

Me: Decimus, Latin for "The Tenth"
Rival: Furia, Latin for "Fury"

Serperior: Agre, Latin for "the fields"
Unfezant: Avis, Latin for "a bird"
Lucario: Valeo, Latin for "I am strong"
Gigalith: Petrae, Latin for "the rocks"
Raichu: Fulgur, Latin for "lightning"
Bronzong: Temporis, Latin for "of the time"
