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.

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

Me: Will, because I am Will

Rival: Kaidan. In honor of my buddy Kaidan from Mass Effect. I don't know why otherwise..

I didn't name my Pokemon on my first playthrough

Myself: Niki
Rival: Ralph
I always name my characters after myself. I feel it is more immersive that way.
I'll always name my rivals (if given the option to) after what I think they "look" like. While he does look like a Hugh, I also find he looks a lot like a Ralph. Thus his name.
I always give my Pokemon various nicknames, usually names on a whim.

I named myself Dominic, because that's what I always name myself.
I named my rival Niklaus, because I wanted Nick to be in there somewhere, and I wanted it to be the full amount of characters names can be.
I didn't name my Pokémon anything.

Named myself 60, named my rival 70. I'm like at the point where I'm so out of names that I'm using numbers. At least at didn't name myself as a single letter *cough*N*cough*. :P

Oh and I don't nickname my Pokemon.

I named myself Jake (IRL name)
Rival Hugh (default name)
and I don't nickname my Pokemon
