Ever met an NPC in the Pokemon Games...

[msdmario]

In RSE, there was a Bug Catcher with my name in Petalburg Woods. I remember this because he appears in the Trainer's Eye/Match Call list. I wish there was a better NPC besides a Bug Catcher that had my first name. :(

In Crystal there is a bug catcher in ilex forest (iirc) with my name, "Bug Catcher James" i was like ~_~

Go Gingerchu!
They've managed to fit an Ethan of some sort into game since RSE. They had interesting teams, but nothing special. :D

What? Seriously?

Wow, that makes it two generations in a row where a Bug Catcher shared the same first name as mine. D:

In one of the pokemon games, I remember fighting a Hiker named Daniel. After that I was all like, "Nice, a trainer named after me."​

 

[.inLOVE]

One of the Picnickers, Kimberly, has my name XD

 

[Naxus_Darkstar]

I found one yesterday! it was a supernerd though...
"SUPER NERD ERIK would like to battle"
COOOMMMEE OOONNN!

 

[Mattysaurus]

My name was used for an team aqua admin XD

That's awesome...Me too!!!

It was Aqua Admin Matt.

Whooped him too. X_x

 

[Lynnx]

No, never. There's probably one in some other game I haven't played.

 

[ZestyCactus]

There's a Socialite Rebecca in the Trainer Cafe. I'm sure there have been other Rebecca/Becca/Beckys around.

 

[Micro]

I don't think so. But, if anyone sees a trainer named Alex, tell me. ^^.

 

[PokemonMichael]

Probably. Michaels not exactly unique. lolz. Tell me if there is though. :3

 

[Cherrim]

I remember being really annoyed as a kid because I share a name with Erika except she spells hers differently wrong. :( I figured that since there were sooo many names in the world, my name would never be used again and I was stuck sharing a name with a Gym Leader who can't spell (ahaha) and has a crappy type (I hated grass types then).

Then lo and behold, there was an Erica in... RSE, I think? I think she was a swimmer or a triathalete or something. I know it was a trainer type I'd never be but I forget everything else. 8D;

 

[Limey-chan]

Yeah, there's a Cooltrainer Mike in Clair's Gym on GSC. Which I realised AFTER picking my username =/

If you want to be exact, i'm sure there will be a few trainers across the Pokémon world called Michael. I can't name any off hand though.

 

[Awesome.]

in pokemon d/p/pt on route 221 theres a swimmer named dillon

 

[Veristical Blaze]

a friend of mine has the same name as the RS games champion: Steven :P my name isnt really common in english, except for Hamlet :P

 

[Åzurε]

Uh, I have, Jacob, but I can't remember where... XD I think it was a swimmer.

 

[DarthWaffles]

I've seen a Psychic and I've seen a Bug Catcher with my name. I think I'd rather be the Psychic.

 

[Alpha Bass]

Nope, I've never seen someone called Joel in that game. Maybe I overlooked it though.

 

[Relvis]

Nope, I've never seen someone called Joel in that game. Maybe I overlooked it though.

I think I remember seeing someone named Joel on a Pokemon game before... think it was Ruby/Saphire/Emerald.

Anyways, I have seen my name in games several times...
