I name all of my rivals after the opposite gem of the series (Example: Playing as male in R/S named Ruby, rival name is Sapphire) So my rival's name is Pearl in Diamond. Before I reset it, it was James.
I named him Ben the first run ( the name I named all my rivals in the Poke'mon game series ) the second run I named him Axel. Seemed cool enough... >shrug<
I always named him Alex because my friend Alex is the only person in my town that can rival me in battle. My brother, Michael, always gets 6-0'd by me. Everyone else in my town that play Pokemon all gave up on it once they entered high school with me. Alex and I kept battling each other, though, so it's also my way of showing my respect for him.
