Clara/Hayden

Ace is the trainer i have in Platinum so my Rivals name is Juan
Juan is my trainer in SS so Ace is his rival.
Clara is my trainer in HG so Hayden is her rival

I gave him his manga name; Pearl. It seems kinda weird to give a guy such a girlish name. Then again it is Japan lol. Umm as of now I dont think I would change a thing, well except him fining me everytime we meet. But other than that he is a pretty good "friendly rival".

same here, called him pearl. he really does remind me of the manga pearl, maybe that's why i named him that. then again, i call all my rivals by the manga name :/

i don't think i would change anything. each of the rivals have their own personality that makes them unique. personally, i prefer silver rather that pearl though

For me the rival battles are the most interesting part of the game, and always the moments I enjoyed the most.

When red and blue first came out, I always went with Gary, but then again I always named myself Ash, just to be one of the cool kids y'know?

Nowadays I always name myself Baker, or James (My first name)
And my rival generally just a name I find cool, I believe I have had a
Dorian
Leonardo
Jackson
Jasper
Randy

Currently he is Jason.

I do wish the rival factor was more interesting though,
I have just made my way through seasons 12 and 13 of pokemon anime, and I like the way Pauls team constantly changes completely.
ve had your final main battle with your rival outside the pokemon leage, every time you battle him he should be stronger and with completely different teams, randomly chosen from an assortment of say 30-40 different pokemon.

I also think it should be harder to find and rebattle him. In platinum you battle (Barry) on the weekends and always in the same place,
I would love the idea of his location changing every day to be completely random places of the region.
These locations would be completely random from a choice of say 20, and change every day, so you couldnt even check the internet to see where he is every day.

This would add more excitement to when you do manage to find him, wether through looking for possibly quite some time, or meeting accidentally.

^^
