    What do you plan on naming yourself when the games come out?

    Are you going to adapt the name of your favorite character? Name them after yourself? How about the name of someone else you know?

    As for me, Milk it is. I'm going to be pretty boring this time around I think.
     
    Since Black 2, I always named my player character Scott. I don't know why though, I don't like to use my real name and I think Scott sounds fine.
     
    My name is Teun, and my name stays Teun. When I play a normal game, I use my normal name. (Ow the rhymez)
     
    I accidentally named myself Terra in the original games, but I'm not gonna do that this time around and continue the tradition I have of naming my character Nichole, after my real name.
     
    Ever since I started playing Pokemon, I'd name my character "Alex", so I'll stick with that (Not my real name, btw). When I got my first Pokemon game, I just randomly named my character "Alex", and it stuck with me for everything... not just Pokemon games xD
     
    I always name my characters after me, which is Jake. I've always found it weird when I play games like this and the character isn't named after me.
     
    I always name the characters by their default names. On my original playthrough, my name was Marky, because I found that name cool at the time. :d In the remakes though, I'll most likely name myself Brendan, since it's the default. And the fact that Marky reminds me of my weeb days, haha.
     
    Now I always name my character Drop(abbreviation of my nickname), but when I was younger I used to name my character Matt, an abbreviation of my name, I still use that when I have multiple games of the same generation and region, like if in platinum my name is Drop and I restart pearl I'm gonna use Matt xD
    Also when I play as a female character I call her Flaire cause it sounds cool.

    Edit:Accidentaly posted the same message twice xD
     
    I usually name my player characters with my name (Alex) followed by the version's abbreviated name. So, in this case it will be "Alex OR" and "Alex AS"
     
    I always name my character with my own name.

    In regards to Patrick's name not being Rick, however, I kind of hope the nickname feature doesn't return, at least for these games. It works better in Japanese, because some people may affix -san to your name, while your closer friends might add -kun or -chan, but it really doesn't work in English (and quite a few other languages, if I'm not mistaken)--if you have a nickname in English, you want everyone to refer to you by it, not just your close friends (or at least make the feature optional, since it does work out quite well in Japanese).

    I usually name my character Dalex, Daliden, or my real name. When I am playing girl characters, I usually use Skyla, Ayla, Kaitlyn or Ayliana.
     
    If I pick the dude, I'll be using my real name, Joey. If I pick the girl, I'll be using either Kimmy or Summer.
     
    My initials are TK, so I'd been using that for a while, but now I use Tek cause it sounds cooler. Or if I like the girl sprite better, I go with Keturah.


    See what I did there? Keturah? SEE WHAT I DID?
