    "Me": REZJILL, the girl & allcaps
    Rival: NO, because the cop asks if I got the perps name and runs off for whatever reason. Stupid guy..
    Pokemon: Only Pokemon I really nickname these days are various Smeargle, Torterra (I prefer TORTRUNK), Zigzagoon (Oy), Linoone (Trigger), Skitty (Sneakers), and the Clefairy (Cliff) line. I have nicked my Empoleon female MOMPOLEON though.

    Name: Maxine - Derived from the fact that I called myself Max in the original version. Chose to be a female, so I picked the female version of 'Max'.
    Rival: Marko. I was going to name him ???, but I chose not to, and I didn't want to copy my sister and name him 'Silver' (though I wanted to.)
    Pokemon:
    Totodile/Feraligatr - Cooly (Derived from my first SIlver, when I first got Feraligatr. I thought he looked 'cool' so I called him 'cooly'. XD; )
    Espeon - Red (tradition <3 )
    Amphraros - Denryuu
    Bellossom - Lucia (Named after my lovely pair. <3 )
    Magmar - Mags (going to be switched out )

    I named my character by his Japanese name, Hibiki. My rival, I named him Silver. As for my Pokémon, I never really find myself naming them nicknames. I like my Pokémon to be called what they are. I want my Gyarados to be called Gyarados, I want my Abra to be called Abra, etc. I find it so much easier to navigate to the one I want to use that way, despite their sprite being beside them. Besides, when I do nickname them, I often forget what they are anyway...

    I named myself Max like i usually do, even though its not really my name.
    Named my rival Dan, because i couldn't think of a better name.
    And I don't usually nickname my pokemon, so none of them have nicknames...
    For now at least.

    Character: ???
    Rival: ???
    Pokemon: Meganium (Chris), Togetic (Sarah), Pidgeot (Zachary), Gyarados (Sirius), Dragonair (Lucile), Sudowoodo (Deadwood)

    See? I decided to name them what I named them when I first played the game. The pokemon names come from different places.

    Chris and Sarah are from RPs, Zachary and Sirius are from a fanfic, Lucile I don't know where I got it from, and Deadwood is a name my brother offered a few years ago.

    When I get it I will call myself Orion, and call my rival Steel. Little bit of wordplay with him stealing his first pokemon and all.

    I named myself Ariana, which is my new name obsession.
    My rival was named after my Brother. Why? We are in a competition against each other. He got Soul Silver and I got Heart Gold, it is a race to the finish. But for amusement I named by Rival after him.
    My Pokemon I named pretty basically.

    Kroc - Croconaw
    Arrow - Pideotto
    Spark - Flaaffy
    Mika - Furret
    Shadow - Gastly
    Duchess - Nidorina
