Oh come on, I know we all did this at least once. Be it Pokemon Yellow, LeafGreen, Ruby, etc. They all come with rivals, and you usually get a chance to name them.

Our of curiosity, did you guys ever name your rivals something silly just for the Hell of it?


For example, I'll occasionally name my rival Douchebag, just so I don't feel as surprised when he comes around the corner to challenge me to a battle when my entire party is at critical health.

Thoughts? Replies? Etc?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought your rival could only have 7 letters in their names as well.

I never gave any stupid names to my rival, except the one time in Gold where I actually said my rival's name was ???. However, I know my sister gave her rival an "interesting" name when I let her play one of my old games (let's just say it was a name that rhymes with "trucker")...

Alright, you caught me there. I'd LOVE to name them Douchebag, but sadly I only shorten it to Douche.

Douchebag just sounds funnier.

I feel bad, the only one I honestly remember was on Crystal. I was playing through when someone on PC, well, we had a disagreement... so I named my rival after them. XD; Don't play that Crystal file so we're all good though!

i usually just name my rival after swear words. obviously, since they're "swear words", i won't list them down.
i do remember one time, in crystal, i named my red-haired rival after a girl, even though he was a boy. seriously, how cruel am i.

i'm Briar.

Oh yes, I never knew they'd by my rival so I just randomly typed in anything. :'D Like, in Heartgold, I named Silver 'cream' because I was eating ice cream and in Platinum, I named Jun 'Blonde' :D

I give my rivals really uncreative names while making my name creative. I named my Crystal rival ??? because I couldn't be bothered giving him a name. I named my Red rival Joe after a joke between me and my friend.

Usually I name my rivals after my enemies, but at times during a speed run or a restart, I name my rival DUMMY. I do have some really, really cruel names, but I'd rather not name them, because that'll offend some people, :P

Aside random insulting names and swear words? Well, in a case of identity confusion, in Blue I named the rival "ASH" because I had already grown to dislike him in the anime. And more recently, in Leaf Green, I name him "Red" even though that character is technically Blue/Gary. I should point out that "Red" is indeed a default name for the rival if you choose Leaf Green.

Lately though, I've just been giving my rivals generic boy names. Nothing exciting there :P

Usually I name my rivals their respective names, but I think I named Gary one time "Bieber" I just don't know why.
You have a fetish for Justin Bieber, that's why.

Don't believe me? If you see Justin Bieber's face in this magic picture, you do.




Anyways, aside from that off-topic little joke, I honestly don't name my rivals after real people. I like keeping games in fantasy-land. :P

I usually give my rivals real names, but I couldn't help but name Gary "ASSFACE" in first gen.
Every. Single. Time.:cheeky:

Now I tend to name them actual names. But if I'm in a bad mood I'll name them swear words.
