I called them Ash and Gary since it was based more on the anime. Besides, I was already calling them that in Red because I didn't know back then that the games are supposed to be a separate universe from the anime.
Apparently a lot of people have done this too, but I named Red after me and my rival after my brother, even though I'm a girl so it was a Red with a girl's name, hehe
Oh man, many different names haha. I normally would name it my brother's name when I was younger, so Daniel. Or I would name it my best friend's name, Chance. The last time I played, I named him Rico for some strange reason. xp
Normally, I named him after myself and the rival after my brother. However, one run I went completely canon and named the player Red and the rival Gary. I also tried catching various Pokemon that Ash did in the Kanto anime, and it was a fun little way to play through the old generation. n__n;
I'd name mine either ass, pinhead, bigbutt, or loser. Sorry. I know those names are funny (if you have my sense of humor). He was my rival so I thought I'd treat him as the enemy outright.
