I make up very good names for them. Right now, my rival, I named him Mario. Pretty epic there, even if he doesn't fit the description. I should have named myself Luigi. :P
well in heartgold i named my rival 50 Cent.... and in platinum i names my rival/friend Skittle...( i was being nice i wanted to give him a messed up name when i saw how goofy his character was)
I usually name them the default names (first one), but in red/blue (original) I named him Jerk. Why? because i had watched a few walkthroughs and saw him take your pokemon's weakness. LOL
um i normally just go with the generic name unless i can think so something at the time like in my plat game when i restarted it i named my rival Rilence after Rilence here on pc ^_^
but i think all others are just gary, silver, idr any from r/s/e and barry on d/p and rilence on plat
I like to name them their original names; such as Silver in HG/SS and Barry in D/P/Pt. In R/S/E they already named your rivals, and in FR/LG the rival was Blue. I was about to name him Gary, but meh, the male player was named Red so I might as well kept the names organized.
Blue = Gary/Red
Gold = Gary/Josue/*insert bad word*/Silver
Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald = May
Leafgreen = Gary
Firered = Green
Pearl = Clyde
Platinum = Barry
HeartGold = Irvine
