  • I recently nicknamed my Cyndaquil, Marshmalow! Although I haven't thought up of any other clever nicknames for the rest of my Pokemon.

  • Hey, man, my name is Ashley, too, and it's also the name of several other kind people on this website. I always name my video game characters Ashley. BTW, me and my level 100s would like to tell you that I'm not a fail trainer. (I have 488 Pokemon in my Platinum dex. Just need Raikou, Entei, Ho-oh, Celebi and Latios, but I'm not in a rush to get them yet. I can easily get them in SoulSilver if I trade my level 100 Gengar that knows Mean Look to it. However, I have to wait for a Celebi event to get Celebi.)

    I named my trainer Ashley, my rival is Silver in SoulSilver, but I named my rival Kamon in HeartGold. I named my female Tododile/Croconaw/Feraligatr "Aqua," but then I got bored of the nickname so I gave her her original name back. In HeartGold, I had a Chikorita named Tyler, but I traded him to Platinum and did a new game to use a Cyndaquil.
    When i said ash i meant ash ketchum :\ not the name ashley, not the name ash ,the fictional character.

  • I was under the impression that our names and our rival's names could be seven letter maximum, and the Pokemon ten. If I'm correct, I'll probably go along these lines when I get the game:

    My name: Ivy, Charley, Blaze or Deity
    My rival's name: Something stupid, like Doofus. :p

    Johto Team:

    Typhlosion - Tybalt
    Vaporeon - DeSoto
    Ampharos - Leon
    Dodrio - Piper
    Drowzee - Dozer
    Dratini - Arytholis

    Hoenn
    *NOTE:
    I'm not certain you can go through Hoenn in these games, but that's what I've heard.

    Swampert - Lily
    Swellow - Zazi or Ace, depending on whether I get a Swablu in another region.
    Mightyena - Prunker
    Gardevoir - ReDella
    Hariyama - If it's male, then Radcliffe, after my obese rat. If it's female, then Blobalina. :p
    Aggron - Statigo

    Johto:

    Venusaur - Del or Frieda, depending on the gender
    Pidgeot - Sterling
    Swablu - Zazi, although I may not get one.

  • I named myself Gold, my rival as Silver but didn't nickname my Cynadaquil after the one in the manga because I was too lazy. Instead I went and used Gold's team from the Manga. :3

  • Me: Erik. My name, duh!

    Rival: Terance. Stupid 7 characters!

    I named him that because since he's Giovanni's son, I thought his name should be related to the earth in some way.

    Pokemon: Sorry Charlie, not this time. I like that their name changes when they evolve.
