Um...sure? I really don't care, so long as we don't get a rival named something stupid.

Sure,
I would love to be able to name them.

That would make three people we get to name,
Yourself,
(Silver) Your rival,
and your other gender counterpart.

I'd probably end up naming him something like PoopMan.

Yeah, it'd be a nice little feature added in there, though it wouldn't really matter either way, as long as I get to name Silver after one of my favorite villains from TV/games/movies. I usually name him Dr.Evil, but I think I might mix it up this time. :p

No. In 3rd gen, that was really stupid to have only 1 unnameable rival. But in DPPt, the role of the prof's assistant shouldn't be named "PWNED BY ME", it should have a default name, especially when we already have Barry in there. Same goes for Silver and Gold/Soul here. Plus, it doesn't matter for me which char can be named, cause i'm going to name them with their proper name (unless for the hero) from now on. Manga name if I know it, and if not, then the Anime/pre-game-release name.

The original Gold and Silver didn't have a female counterpart so how could you name her. Even in Crystal you didn't get to name the other character since they weren't in the storyline.

I really don't think it matters. It's not like it's a major element that affects gameplay or anything like that ;x. Plus like Hiroshi said, it's fun to get to find out what their actual name is supposed to be.

I don't care because I'm not good at picking name to someone. That's why I always pick up name that's already in game. Only thing that I name in games is hero (and he's named Late).

Anyone has Club Nintendo codes that you don't need? I want those.
If you have one code for me I can trade you my Explorers of Sky code as I can't put it because I have registered already one. (Registered my brother's game and now I can't register mine...) Someone have same thing? PM me.
I know there's nobody who wishes to do this xD
I'm talking about Club Nintendo of Europe.

I just don't want Gold to be named "Soul" if I play as the girl. I want my pseudo-rivals to have a normal name if I can't name them.

The more characters we get to name the better. XD
The whole thing about Oak is him being a damn annoying person for only thinking about Pokemon. He could forget his wife (if he still has one) as well.

I think that they won't be just soul or gold. They will have normal names and I think that I will be happy with them.
