When I play Black on my birthday, I will be female and I always name my character Nichole, my real name.

I'm playing as the male character and gave him my nickname, Jay Jay. I usually always put my real name, which is Josh. But this time around I gave him my nickname.

I chose to play the game with the male protagonist Hilbert and opted to name him Mike rather than my given name Michael.

I'm a boy in the game (I don't know why, just habit) and I called myself Jeremy after one of my favourite singers.

In every single one of my games so far, Platinum and Soul Silver excluded, the protagonist was always named Hayden, my name, and the rival was always named Steven, after my best friend who introduced me to the games.

In Platinum, I decided to take an unique approach and name myself
Osama and my rival Bush. I believe that although offensive, but I'm one of those people that likes to play Pokemon like it's real life... I give personalities to my Pokemon, I pretend that all battles are serious, etc. By naming them these names, I was able to take the game a little bit more seriously, and it made me rethink the whole Pokemon world, and how dangerous it would be.

In Soul Silver, I was Ethan and Silver was Silver. It was too mainstream because I'm a hipster generic for me though. My second-run through, and all subsequent ones, used my actual name if I were a boy, or my girlfriend's if I were a girl.

I used to use pretty much every variety of name you could imagine and choose the gender randomly.
Now I'm just following my new tradition of using my actual name and gender. I pick the female character and go by "Maggie" with a heart or a smiley face at the end since I have one extra character. :3

(I am playing White.)

There hasn't been a time in any game I've chosen the male protagonist, if you don't count the times your only option was the male. I end up using my real name since I'm not too creative on naming my character something other than it (although I think I should try that sometime). I wish we had the option to name our rivals still since it was pretty cool to do so for a lot of others. That is one option I don't quite understand why GameFreak made the decision to remove it.

The female protagonists always seem to have a better design within each generation (besides HGSS) to me too. :(

I picked male and named myself Goemon, because it's my nickname in real life. Also i'm curious, are there any other main series games that don't let you nickname your rival?
