    At the beginning of every game you're allowed to choose your protagonist's name. What will yours be? Why?

    For those who didn't notice, the character limit for Pokémon names and attack moves have also been adjusted up. Do you think we'll finally be able to name our protagonists beyond the original seven character limit? If so, will this affect what your name will be?
     
    My name's always 'Will'. Lol So it doesn't effect me much
     
    I'm in the same boat. I generally just name myself Jake or whatever the actual name of the protagonist is, so I don't really run into issues with anything. It's good to see their increasing the cap on names though, as the character limit before was just extremely restrictive since there are definitely a lot of names out there that broke the limit.
     
    Considering the only name I use is Ashley, it doesn't affect me.​
     
    I started recently trying to play with the pokemons the trainer use normally in the manga or anime mostly the one who come first and I keep the name the game give to them normally. Maybe this time it could change and if the female name is not Yvette or Yvonne I gonna name her like that.
     
    I like to use my real name Don for story gameplay, because I don't like characters calling me Lyca, it sounds stupid... Usually I play through the story as Don and then put on Lyca, or LycaNinja now, so I can play online and have it make sense with my forum name.

    Character limit is at least 12 now... That has been confirmed hasn't it?
     
    I usually name him Ale, which is a shorter version of my real name, Alejandro.
    When i play the female i just pick any girl's name i like (:
     
    I always find that naming the protagonist whomever it may be after their name that they have been assigned, suits it much better than naming them after my name.
     
    I love this news. Now I can finally have a Tentacruel named Oppenheimer.
     
    I dunno what name I`ll name myself yet, but I have till sometime in October to think of something I`ll like and not get tired of seeing.
     
    I started using my middle name Patrick this gen, I think I'll continue with it
     
    Since I was going to name my self either Yuna or Xavier depending on which gender I pick in the end I'll be adding in last names like I've hoped for the past generations. If girl it'll be Yuna Taiyou (11 characters counting the space) or Xavier Tsuki (12 counting the space).
     
    In terms of the protagonist name letter increase doesn't really affect me, since I'll be using Barrage as my protagonist name, and Barrage is seven letters long so having the limit increased won't bother me.

    However, in terms of Pokemon names having an increased letter limit. HO HO HO, my nicknames for my Pokemon are going to be much more elaborate now.
     
    Tch, about time we got some extra letters, my Pokemon names can be incredibly awesome now, the way I intended them to be.

    Doesn't really affect my character's name tho, still gonna be my real name.
