Rival Names

[Spud]

What do you usually name your rivals?
Mine are usually friends from school. Trying to think of something more creative though for HG...

[Lotos]

I pick from the given rival names.  This time around, I went with the original name given to him in the dialogue box in Gold/Silver/Crystal: ???

I did that with my last Gold playthrough. :U

[SkyMyl]

Original: GARY MOTHERFUCKING OAK
G/S/C: Can't remember.
R/S/E: Still can't remember.
D/P/P: Lyne. I was going to name him dweeb, but decided against it.
HG/SS: Rival. Because nothing says rival like a person named RIVAL.

[Zero]

Gary
Silver/???
Cunt
Schmuck

EDIT: You can see that the older I got, the less I liked each rival.

A long time ago, I named my rival "Leic".

Now, I named him "Silver" as the manga name.

[Friendly Hostile]

I've always used the name Kaz.  Not sure why.

Oh, sweet, you got the name first before it was used in Hi-Hi Puffy Ami Yumi.

[Magnum]

My dad always named him because we shared the game.

It was always something such as...
Dumbass, Shitface, or my personal favorite, Badass

I usually name them the opposite color. If I was playing Gold, they were Silver. yada yada

[Silverhawk79]

I think usually just Gary or something, but I think for Ruby or Platinum I named him EJRaven. :B

[The Riddler]

Usually a friend of mine, or "Gary".
Today, I named my HG Rival "Kayla", since my friend Kayla got SS and named her rival Rob.

[えっちーせんぱい]

Baka, for my train of thought wasn't in the station yesterday.

[Doodle]

R/B/Y: Used Gary and Blue.
G/S/C: Used ???.
R/S/E: Used one of the defaults, May.
D/P/Pt: Used one of the defaults, Joey.
HG/SS: I'll probably use ??? again.

[Kayo]

Red: JACK
Gold: dont remember
Crystal: (in my recent playthrough) EMERIL :B
Sapphire: you cant nam her. She got stuck with May. :P
Emerald: same as above
Diamond: Nat
Platinum: Danny

[darkmario]

Usually, I'll name the rival after my best friend. And visa versa.
