Hey. With the recent release of the artwork for the presumed player characters of HeartGold and SoulSilver, I was wondering: what are your/your rival's name going to be in HeartGold and SoulSilver? Or are you going to choose the default menu names?
Here are my choices for names (updated!):
Gold:
currently undecided, usually I base it on what fits the artwork. Still looking! Kendall
Silver:
Silver (tentatively) Raymond > Ray
"Soul":
Abigail? Solidad > Soul
I chose
Kendall because it seems like a gold-themed name to me. Though I
hate it when characters within or across franchise(s) share the same name (i.e.,
Ken Ichijouji from Digimon Adventure 02,
Kenny from Pkmn DP, and now "
Kendall" [Gold], though I don't really care about Kenny), I'll let this occurrence slide, simply since I now have the opportunity to play as Gold in HG/SS. :D
I chose
Raymond because Silver's hair looks like converging "rays", and the word
ray goes nicely with Heart, Soul, etc., IMO. :)
Solidad feels like my best choice; I loved the super-cute Soul having a beautiful (although currently tentative) name like
Soul so much that I wanted to incorporate it in the game, somehow. Originally, I was looking for a sun-themed name (to go with
sol, Spanish for "sun" and homophonous with
soul. Then, I was browsing through Bulbapedia articles and came across the character Solidad, who is
somewhat reminiscent of Soul. So, I just named Soul "Solidad", who can be nicknamed "Soul". :cer_love:
You can offer names for both player characters even you're only playing as a certain gender.

List what you're going to name yourself and your rival in the game in your posts, please! You can also suggest what you think the new girl and Silver will be named in the anime, as Gold's counterpart is already known as Jimmy from the
Legend of Thunder special.
