1st Gen What did you name your character and rival in Pokemon Yellow?

[Seraphimon-sama]

I always named myself Byakuya, and named my rival either Sosuke, Aizen, Mayuri, Kaname or Kisuke.

 

[Seki]

A young me called myself Ash and my rivial the F word.

 

[Synerjee]

I have always named myself 'Ash' and my rival 'Gary'. Never anything else.

 

[Cid]

Man I can't really remember the details the first time I played it! Which is odd, because it's supposed to be memorable for being my first played game of the series.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say Patrick for the player character and Gary for the rival. The first one would be the obvious choice unless I was feeling anime-y (in that case, it would be Ash), but Gary I think is most likely what I named my rival. I was a fan of the anime back then so I think that must have reflected to my rival's name. It's possible I actually named my rival after a childhood friend, though. :P

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

I would always name my character either "Lati" or my full name which is Latifah and I did not care if I was a male at the time and as for my rival, I would give him bad names such as the "F" word the "S" word.....you get the point and this was because I was very immature at the time


:t354:TG

 

[Seth Rollins]

I named myself Red and my rival...oh...the first time I played the game I called him ''ass''...then when I was starting my adventure I found boring so I changed it to Blush. I don't know why...then when I completed the game I restarted it and named him Green.

 

[Rain Dancer]

Gary, because, well, it's Gary. The name stuck forever.

Not Ash, however. That one you leave as Red.

 

[TheSecondComingOfCaterpie]

I named the character Cheese and the Rival Ham, because I was hungry that day.

 

[PikachuAddict]

I was Rich/Richard and the rival was Gary.

 

[Mama-Mamo]

My character: I usually use a variation of my real name, a nickname, or a username that I use.

Rival: It always and forever will be something inappropriate. xD It fun seeing Professor Oak refer to my rival/his grandson as a vulgar word or phrase. :3

 

[vaporeon7]

Ash and Gary. I even used Red's team from HGSS.

 

[Urugamosu]

The game yellow somehow gave me a craving for cheese, so I called the protagonist, Cheese! The Rival was Omelets, I think I was really hungry when I start playing. Cx

 

[pikakitten]

I named my character, my name. and my rival was Blue, since that's his name in-game rather than Gary (Anime) xD

 

[TroubleH]

Me, I like to name my character with my name.
And for the rival, it will always be one of my friend's name. -_-

 

[Pringlesman]

I was lame as a kid and named myself Ash and my rival Gary.

 

[Sweets Witch]

I named my protag "Heroman" because he was the heroman, and my rival's name was ??? because it's what he said his name was and I was in no position to argue with him.

 

[KosmoF]

I got Yellow when it was released and gave the protagonist my name, and the rival the name of the primary antagonist of a play series I occasionally write.

YELLOW: Sarah
BLUE: Damien

 

[The Amazing Justin]

I always name myself Justin in every game and my rival Marshall (Based of my childhood rival) in all of the Kanto games.

 

[obiwan362]

It was either Ash and Gary (I think it was), or I was DAVID!! because I liked filling all of the characters possible and my rival would have been one of my friends at the time. Probably Eli.

 

[dragonfly_dust]

I actually had the Japanese version of Pokemon Yellow six months before the English version came out. (Hooray for Japanese cousins and knowing Japanese!)

I in fact played 1st and 2nd gen all on japanese cartridges. Anyway I named myself "Akasata" which is the first four "A" sounds of the japanese alphabet. My rival, "Okosoto" is the first four "O" sounds of the japanese alphabet.
