LOL, I added the edition thingy 'cause this similar questions have been asked before long ago.
I was originally gonna ask in the "HeartGold/SoulSilver" what you guys and gals named the rival, but then I decided it would be better
"Yellow"
Player Character (referred to for the rest of my post as "PC"): My real name (NO I'M NOT TELLING).
Rival: "Gary" (anime reference).
"Gold"
PC: Pre-battery death: My real name. | Post-battery replacement: "Kevin" (what my name would have been if I had been a boy).
Rival: Both times: "Blake" (I just thought that was an good name for him).
"Crystal"
PC: My real name. (And since this is the first "Pokemon" game with a gender choice, it actually fits the character!)
Rival: "Blake" (again).
"LeafGreen"
PC: My real name.
Rival: "Gary" (anime reference...again).
"Emerald"
PC: My real name.
I don't think there's anyone else to name in "RSE", is there?
"Diamond"
PC: My real name.
Rival: "Damian" (one of the default names which I assumed would be his "canon" name at the time...which turned out to be a wrong guess).
"Platinum"
PC: My real name.
Rival: "Roy" (different default name that I picked simply to enable "ROY'S OUR BOY" remarks^).
^ In the interest of full disclosure, when it comes to "Fire Emblem" characters in "Smash Bros." games, I actually prefer Marth!
"SoulSilver"
PC: My real name.
Rival: "Blake" (it's a Johto tradition for me).
"Pokemon Colloseum"
PC: Wes (default name).
Partner: Rui (default name).
"Pokemon Battle Revolution"
My Custom Character: My real name.
Your turn!![]()
