4th Gen What'd you name your D/P rival?

[Mateus_]

named mine Joao...
it's the name of a verry good friend of mine that's leaving the city...
so I named the rival with his name to make a tribute :P

 

[Ghoul]

i named my rival Angel ...

~Ghoul​

 

[EmeraldSky]

Unless he has an official English name I don't know about, I named him Damien

 

[KadabraK]

All my times on emulators (freezes my comp) I named him something default or Justin, he looks like my irl friend.

I might be getting a DS and diamond/pearl for xmas tho

 

[.Vaporeon]

I named mine Markus. I do not know why, I just felt like naming him that. I guess I like the name or something. At the time I wasn't aware that his real name is Lucas.

-Neku Sakuraba

 

[Sexycheese]

I started a new game and called him *****! Its hilarious

Rivals Mom: Has anyone seen my little *****? lol

 

[Gelly]

Tic Tic, because it's how i call the boy i like, but he does not feel that way about me :'(

 

[EverPhoenix]

i named mine Jelze, after my friend's nickname. Coz he's my pokemon rival. Ive seen people name their rivals things like "F*** you", to comedic effect:

first gen, "F*** you: Gramps!" is always funny.

 

[irishcharizard]

i called mine chums just cos he meant to be a friend

 

[lilninjapig]

I *think* I called mine Damion. I don't know why, I think it was on the list of names at the beginning.

 

[Legendary Flame Lord]

I named mine Matthew after a friend of mine.

 

[Delirious]

Ah, I decided to go with a very classic name nobody around here hears alot.

Usually, it's something like Herman,Joseph or Olaf. Herman is the one I used last.

 

[Jessie]

Maxx, after my dog. :) I accidentally added two x's on his name...but it actually looks pretty cool, so I was like...whatever, that works. :)

 

[CyberBlastoise]

I myself named my Rival Brandon after one of my friends.

 

[Lyra.]

Pearl: Jun, from the Japanese anime
Diamond: Ulrich, from Code Lyoko
Future English Release in Platinum: Jun like above.

 

[Candace]

I named mine Sheldon

Sheldon's just one of my favorite boy names in the world. And named myself Candace, of course

 

[..::Michi::..]

Because I'm a nerd, I named my D-Black.
No one would understand that though. XD
Long, heartbreaking story really... not

 

[Amaruuk]

I named my rival "Pizza" because I remembered that way back when, that's what my brother named his on Yellow, and I chuckled.

 

[Ikitsumi]

I named him Grey. X3 Just because I named myself Vikky and I felt like using a certain other person's nickname (boyfriend's name) which is kinda fitting because I'm a huge TwinleafShipping fan too~

 

[sonicisrad]

I also named him Ralph, but then my Game froze shortly after, so then I named him Lukas, then once again my Game froze, so I named him Knucklz, and....SUCCESS!!!!
