1st Gen Is it just me, or did everyone used to name their character "ASH"?

i've never named any of my characters ash ever. i wasn't a fan of the series, and the only character i knew from the anime was "pikachu."
if i remember correctly, i just chose the name of my character from the prepared list of names.
 
My older brother and a few of my friends used Ash.

While the other majority of my friends and me used Red for our characters.
 
OMG that name sucks I think! He would probably have problems in school.
 
Never named one Ash, since I'll always know it's not him D: Plus I'm not very creative so they've always either been called Alex (my name) or Ozzy (my nick-name from friends) :p
 
I usually name my character random things, only I did use a pre-selected name on Pokémon Red.
 
I know that in Red Version my 5 year old self named the character Ash, but that was the only game where I used that name.
 
I use Red for my Red Version, Blue for my Blue Version, and Ash for my Yellow Version because in one of the first gen games, at least someone in it needs to have the name Ash and is far more smarter than the actual Ash on the anime. I can't wait to get all this expensive anime and I'm going to start playing all my games in chronological order from Pokemon Red and Blue to where I am right now. Red is the name I call Ash in Red Version because at the end of Gold and Silver, you face off in a battle against Red who looks like Ash but just calls himself Red even if you can't get Espeon in Red but that's another story. Maybe it's something about owning all 151 of the Pokemon which is what I'm going to be persistent enough to do. There is this glitch on how to get Togepi which could've to my guess been accidentally programmed into the game because it was written in the anime that there was a Togepi but to perform it you need Chansey at top.

I use Gold for my Gold Version, Silver for my Silver Version, and Chris, or Kris for my Crystal Version and Terra or May for my Ruby Version and or Seth or Brendan and Sean or Brendan for my Sapphire Version and on Emerald, I use their real names. Seth can feel familiar because on Pokemon Colosseum, there's an option to name your character Wes, Seth, or Thomas or you can give them a customed name. When you're on Quick Battle for Pokemon XD or Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness, the name changes randomly along with the Pokemon and ID number and the trainer is always on different names. I use Michael for Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness and that's about it. I may start using Ash in Firered and Leafgreen and I never had the game before. Without it, I can't get Gengar because the post game of Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness looks a lot like Firered and Leafgreen taken to the Orre region.
 
I noticed, but never really understood why kids didn't want to be themselves.

In Yellow, it's more understandable, since the game was based off the anime.
 
Your Pikachu could have a chance of being female if his attack stat isn't 12 when you obtain it at level 5 and Ash's Pikachu is found out to be a male. There's more to it then just naming your character Ash from the anime and having the same Pokemon.
 
I've always used my real or nickname as the player. As for people calling themselves Ash, I never saw any of my friends or people that just played that I know use "Ash" as their username.


:t354:TG
 
I think I named him Ash in Yellow, because it totally fit with Pikachu, Jessie, and James. I never did it again though.
 
When I first got into the Pokemon craze in Sapphire I named my character Ash along with Diamond & my second game Blue Version! :D In Yellow version I named my character Yellow.
 
I think I was called Satoshi in Yellow... which is kind of Ash :p

I was Squitle in Blue (yes, I misspelled it :laugh:)
 
I've never really created any other name besides my real name for the Pokémon protagonists, so that would have to be a no for me. It's pretty weird to have the poor guy set with a girl name though...
 
I noticed a lot of people did (still do), but i'm always Jay unless I choose to be female like on my Platinum.
