    So there's a thread on BW2 asking what was your in-game name, your rival's and your Pokemon, so why not here, right? :D

    So here it is!

    My name: LilJz ( That's my gamer's tag )

    Rival: Ethan ( I was lacking in ideas, and I recently watched Chuggaaconroy's LP of Pokemon Crystal where he named his rival Eyan, so I guess I took the idea from there^^)

    Pokemon:
    Pikachu: Pika (Since it was a female and I preferred Pika for a female Pikachu :) )
    And as for the other Pokemon in my team, I didn't name them. I liked their name the way it was.
     
    In my last playthrough
    Mine: Imevil
    His: Hesevil
     
    In my latest playthrough of Platinum:

    [PokeCommunity.com] Rival's name and your name

    Me - Nichole (my real name)

    [PokeCommunity.com] Rival's name and your name

    Rival - Barry (I always use default names for the rival)

    Pokemon - I don't usually nickname my Pokemon.
     
    I decided to be a boy in my Platinum playthrough, honestly I found their design cooler and I do have a slight fondness for Lucas. I always found the default names pretty cool so I just stuck with Lucas.

    Looking at my rival, the default name immedieately popped in my head, I thought Barry suited him quite well actually :D.I might of called him Ozzy like Superskarmory but that was obviously trashed :I.

    For HG Gold since I found the Pokedex Holder version of him hilarious and a cool character. The rival, default name like usual Silver, since I thought it sort of suited him.

    I named myself God, and I named my rival Frankie (some old bully in my middle school)
     
    I named myself the usual - Nathan, while my rival in Johto, Silver.

    In Sinnoh again, I was Nathan, and my rival was Lucas (a friend of mine).

    Mines Seth for SS and Jane for Pt.

    Rivals though, I use the defaults. Im not great at names
     
    my name: i'm not giving my name on the internet, sorry!
    rival: tyson (suits him better then barry thats for sure)
    pokemon: twiggy! its a shame that everyone else choose that name to though, i was really hoping it would be an original name
     
    As always, I used my own name for myself (Shaun), and a random friend's name for the rival.
     
    My name-Black - my name is always Black, I just like the character!

    Rival's name- I'm Stupid- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

    Pokemon- Here are my names: Cyndaquil-Blitz; Totodile-AquaCroc; Rattata- RatPack; Pidgey-AerialAce; Onix-Rocky; and Bellsprout-KillerVine.
     
    I'd like use the default names.
    Me: Lucas
    Rival: Barry
    P'mon: No nicknames for P'mon because I like default names.
     
    Named my character Marlene.

    Named my rival Ryan.

    My pokémon: Empoleon-Empolia. (I didn't realise it was a girl 'till I got to Sunnyshore City). Luxray-Pheonix, Rapidash-Blaze, Staraptor-Staravia (preferred that name), Gastrodon-Gastro and Rhydon-Baron. I used Rhydon to learn the HM's cut, rockslide, rock smash and strength, as I've posted before.

    I ♥ Pokémon Pearl.

    My rival...gosh I can't even remember. I think I went with the default name of Barry. :T

    I never nickname my Pokemon, honestly. I made the dumb mistake of nicknaming my Turtiwig "Leaf" once. Now it's a level 70-something Torterra used for breeding and the occasional battle. The nickname no longer fits for the monstrous creature it is.
     
    Anthony.

    Yeah I don't even know where that came from tbh...
    I played Diamond back in 2007 when I was 12 so I gave my rival quite a seemingly random name lulz.
    I can't remember the names for my other games >.> they're much more recent though so they probably have some kind of meaning behind them.
     
    My names in the games were:

    In Diamond: Diamond
    In Pearl: Pearl
    In Platinum: Platinum
    In HG: Me- Gold, Rival-Silver
    In SS: Me-Silver, Rival-Gold

    And yes i played them all ^^

    The only nickname i used for a Pokemon was:
    - HM-slave (Like whooper, machoke :p)
     
    In Platinum:
    My name: Lisa
    Rival's name: Terry
    My team:
    Richter the Empoleon
    Lisa the Persian
    Shari the Dusknoir
    Ashley the Crobat
    Kimberly the Flygon
    Vince the Jolteon

    And yes, I realize that my trainer and Persian are both named Lisa. This is completely intentional.
     
    I always choose to be female and call myself Graham. There's a long backstory to Graham who is a time traveller who loses all memories of her past travels when her head normally hits a rock. Occasionally she loses all powers to speak as well although in Skyrim the only language she spoke was Dovah. She's been everything from the Commander of N7 to Dragonborn to well...a Pokemon trainer.

    I get very bored...

    My rival's name in D/P/Pt was Steve and in HG/SS it was Rain after my dog. Lol.
