    • main: Aya
    rival: Nagi
    starter: Arashi (means storm). Cyndaquil's Japanese name is "Hinoarashi" (fire storm), so I just call him Arashi for short. I'm too lazy to think of nicknames.

    Me: Music
    Riva:l JB (named after a friend)
    If he sees this: Hey there's a 5-character limit on Japanese games and your name is two letters. XD

    I don't nickname Pokemon, with exception of Pokemon named "Slave" which are HM Slaves.

    • I used my real name, and called my rival (like in all games) b*tch

    Obviously without a star. I don't know when I started doing this - probably in Silver actually, certainly not in Blue or Yellow - but I can't help myself. I just have to do it.

    I was Sav, my rival is always Assface, and my starter was probably Buster or something. I can't remember. I like to ~theme~ my Pokemon by television shows, I believe the last time I played I went Arrested Development.

    • Me: Devin (I always go with my name :p)
    Rival: Silver (I'm waiting to get the English version)
    Starter (Totodile methinks): Champagne
    And I usually come up with real names for my other Pokes, if I decided to name them that is. Champagne has (God knows why) become a sort of starter tradition for me haha

    • For my first play-through of the Japanese SoulSilver I named myself 'Baro', my rival 'Steve', and my Totodile 'Gator'... :P I don't have to be original. :D

    What Are You Naming your Rival in Hg/Ss?

    So what are you gonna call the mysterious trainer that seems to have a bone to pick with you and Team Rocket for reason unknown?

    Well for me, I'm gonna call him Silver since that's the name everyone uses in walkthroughs.

    I know, very uncreative. :P

    Epic.

    Anywho, I think I'll call myself Silver because I'm getting SS, but I'll call him May. Or Dawn. The names of either one of those non-Misty girls will enrage me enough to defeat him each time! ;D

    Yeah, that's how he acts the WHOLE game. Not once in my opinion is he even on the borderline of "being nice".

    The only part I don't get is when everyone says he treats his Pokemon like "tools of war".

    We all kinda do that when we battle, so what makes Silver's (Douche's XD) way different?
