I don't see it happening as often anymore, but particularly in the older games, Yellow most of all, it seems like at least one out of every three kids I talked to named their character "ASH". Has anyone ever noticed this?

I named Touko Ash

This is pretty much common sense. I mean, main character of the show, was actually the inspiration for Yellow, etc, etc. I would be surprised if people didn't name themselves Ash.

In my Yellow version I indeed gave the heroe name to my character, when I was younger totally crazy about the anime. But I've restarted it and called the protagonist "Théo" (don't really know why, I hadn't any ideas of how to call him so I chose the first name that crossed my mind), then I've restarted it again and called him "Red". And I think that I gonna restart my game again soon, I wonder what will be the name I'll give him...

No one among people I know did. It was common to name the character Red.

The funny thing was when females named the character (who was a boy) with female names. xD

I believe in Jesus Christ. If you do too, and aren't scared to admit it, then put this in your signature.

I never called myself Ash in any of the game; but with Pokemon received from trades from RBY I sure got a lot of Pokemon with OT names of Ash. XD Not surprising I suppose given the popularity of the anime then, and the fact many of said trades were from Yellow.

My brother did one time. I never did, even back then I knew I didn't want myself associated with that n00b, and it didn't take long for my brother to realize that, too.

Closest I've come is naming my female character in White, "Ashley."

I'm a lady, so I never named my character Ash. xD I don't find myself naming myself Ash in the future when I get around to playing the games again. lol It would be Ani since I used that name so much back then.
