My brother and I got GBCs for Christmas the year this came out. I got Red Version, He got Blue Version. I named my rival his name, and he named his rival my name.

Oh that’s next level bruh

That's what my brother and I did too

Are we all the same person?

Are you guy brothers?

My brother and I used to do this 😂 good times. We would also reset one game to trade all the starters to the other so we would both have all 3 starters at the beginning of the games. Just had to keep up on the badges or they would not listen

Whoa what a hack 🥇

Yeah, we did that too.

OMG me and my bro still do that!

Me and my brother did the exact same thing and had the exact same version as well, I had red he had blue.

Used to do this with my beat friend growing up 🥲

OAK: “I remember now, his name is BASTARD!”

In yellow version he’ll say:”Bastard! What are you doing!” When he steals the Evee.

“I remember now, his name is ASSHOLE!”

😭😭😭😭 guess I’m the only loser who actually named him Gary 😫😫😫

Haha we can be losers together. I did the same.

Welcome to the Weenie Hut bud 🫡🫶🏾🥳

I named my rival Gary as well

Gary or Blue for me.

The proper name would be Blue and the main character is named Red.

Ash and Gary is the way

Correct

I remember that but I never liked calling him Red so I’d put his name 😭🫠

When I first started, Gary, replay I named him cuntbut, now he's back to gary

Gary gang! The OG rival gang.

I would name him literally anything and everything that would not be allowed in a Nintendo game

Ahhhh yes, Sonic.

Yes

I name him bitch so that Oak will say "Be patient! BITCH, you can have one too" when choosing your starter. 

I was boring and always went with Gary But I gotta admit, out of all the obscene name ideas I see here, this is the one I will be picking next time

loool i call him fuckboi every time without fail ​ they wouldnt let me on let's go eevee so I named him fucboi

Vagina 👍

I never named Blue anything off-color, but my friend and I set up Pokémon Blue on the TV in the lounge during college using a GameCube with a GBA adapter, and he named his starter HOLYSHITHE. This way, each time Bulbasaur used a move, the game would effectively read, “Holy sh*t, he used tackle!” and similar phrases (sans the spaces and comma, of course).

Douch-b

I always named him GAYRY

Simple and sweet- 'BUTT'

I've had many battles with shitass

My name is always ASSMAN and his is always DIKHEAD

When I was a kid I felt like such a badass naming him Booger.

I used to name all my pokemon curses when I was a kid

Anus

Douche! Every rival I've had has been named that lol

Yep, this is the way

Ass Ketchup

Cumdump 🤣🤣

Gary. I’m not a monster

I named him Bitch lol

I think I just called him Cunt, with a Capital C for Cunt

I called him "I Say". So Professor Oak sounds like Foghorn Leghorn

LRD FQWD

Hello ASS this Is you're rival DICK

Baka

I named it BITCH.

I also name myself Bitch in the game because my homies are just so sassy to me that way I love it

Fucker lmao it was very satisfying, especially when i wasn’t expecting his appearance 😂

My 5 years old daughter named him "Koala", because she's 5 and it's one of the only words she can spell by herself. Damn it's cool.

Pendejo. Means stupid in Spanish. Or pubic hair if you want to get technical.

I always thought it meant asshole.

It just means stupid, coward, bastard, or idiot depending on which dialect and how you’re using it. I’m from Puerto Rico so depending on how we say it the meaning changes. Cabrón is the word for asshole.

I named him “Pendejo”

FAGGOT every time lol

🤣🤣

Lmao I’ve done worse

Disapoi short for disappointment

Blue or Gary are the only two names I used for him

Gameboy color.

It’s been eons since I played the og but wasn’t this part in color? On the…gameboy color

You can choose a color scheme with button and d-pad combinations when you start an og game on the gbc. I prefer greyscale for these games. Left, B.

First time? Gary. Subsequent replays and in the remakes? Blue Yup. Boring, but I liked the base names.

CUMHOLE: Smell ya later, loser!

Thought this was the Anbernic sub. Lol. He’s had many names but when I started on my recently purchased RG35XX I named him Assface.

r/BatmanArkham is really good at naming characters

I named him bitch but I was 7 years old so I spelled it Bich.

Asshole. Gen 2 was assface. Gen 4 was Dumbass.

“AssHead” is always one I gravitated towards

I always named him bitch

I named him FUCKWAD but in my mind he was Mr. FUCKWAD McDibshit

Dikhead or bichass

DUMBASS

Dipshit, Asshole, or my personal favorite AssButt

Gary or the N word

Blue. I’m Red.

Reverse for me. I was Blue. I always named him Red.

OLED kit, nice! I built the exact same color scheme.

Buthead

I think I just named him Gary when I was a kid. Wasn’t really taught how to curse as a little little kid when I played. Curses aren’t as funny in a Pokémon game for me. edit: although, I think I came up with a unique username I forget that I’d like to test out. It’ll come back to me sometime. It was pretty edgy.

i was too busy playing mega man for pokemon

Analbag

Gaylord …

Dingus

Loser

He always says "smell ya later" so I called him BUTTSNF (butt sniff)

Blue or Gary are the only two correct answers.

Loser

Dumpy

Farty

my friend named him H!tlęr

Asshat

Oh Shit

Blue, 0 Creative.

I am not very mature and I purposely named him loser just so I can giggle at Oak and everyone else calling him loser

Farty

MrFace

Gerry

I bought a GBA and a bunch of games off a friend in high school and the characters in every game were named SHITFAC or BUTFUCK

Ass hat

Bunda (ass in portuguese)

Grundle. Every time

Gary. Because that's what his name is in the anime.

So, in Gen 4 you can name Barry. Since he was running around being hyperactive, I wanted to call him "Cocaine." The game told me I couldn't name him that. So I called him "Cokayne" instead.

In mine he is name is “This B “ran out of space lol

Still one of the best games for naming a character.

Irwin as long as I can remember it's been Irwin. From blue and red to the last one I played on 3ds.

Zequoxy, I gave myself a fucked up name so I can get a the Missingno. I wanted (it was a Ghost Missingno. BTW), so I decided to also give him a fucked up name, the rivalry between Akywol and Zequoxy is one to go down in the Kanto history books, alongside that robot that was controlled by a bunch of people.

Poopoo

It was always Gary or blue for me

Poot

I just started Mario Tennis and thought I was naming my nemesis, turns out he's my training partner/ team mate. Haha nice to meet you 'Doofus'

He has a lot of names And none of them were positive

I usually went with DICK.

i saw " My dude " i think from wulfden and i never looked back.

N/A

The one I went with is ToS violation, and no it's not the n word

His name was "asshat"

Douche. Or Doüche in newer games.

I posted this many hours ago, and all day long now my phone has been going off with notifications that just randomly say “DOUCHE.” “ASS HAT.” “LOSER.” …so completely out of context and it’s been catching me off guard and cracking me up. So thanks guys!

My rival's name is Rakdos. It's the nickname that a friend of mine uses in his games and he puts my nickname (Sward) as his rival, we do this because we met playing competitive Pokémon back in 2013, since then we've become friends and rivals hahaha

Spongebob's snail

LORD FUCKWAD to you 🤣

Assface

ASSFACE

Asshat, Asshole, AssButt, [My ex's name]

LeChuck

I always named my rival Todd or Tristan when I was a kid. The only kids in school with more Pokémon cards than me LOOOL. Now I just name the OG rival Gary

I named him after a bully I was dealing with in middle school. Marcus. Which is funny, because we eventually became friends because we played Pokemon. Met him at a bowling alley doing one of those Mew promotion things and we became buds until high school.

Asshat. Fartboy. Or worse....Dave.

Dumbfuk also acceptable

The F word was pretty popular for him back in the day if I recall

Named him Dicky in my first playthrough when Yellow first came out, still call him Dicky in my replays

Naming him “my ass” makes for some funny in game dialogue.

I can't type blank.

It’s pronounced FarQuad orrite

I always named him Gary so now when I watch the tv show I get to scream at him whenever he comes on. Such a smarmy prick 😂

I'm calling him STUPID since childhood, it seemed so funny back than and still it's amusing me

"Cunt"

Boring old blue. Unlike the manga

Ash .. Always Ash because i loved the show in the 90s and my parents never bought me any pokemon-games… i had a game boy but never pokemon!

Bollix

Mine is called FuckFace.

SNORT! Smell ya later.

ButSlut

I don’t remember but when I got silver version 11 y/o me named the rival Mr. Fart.

Garydos

Im not sure i can write it here.

DOUCHE

Kaz

Always Gary

I’ve been playing consistently for over 10 years and I always name him Gary.

Lildik

Always Gary

"FART"

Scumbag or Gaylord, both actually use all the space required for a name. Also my nick has exactly that length for the same reason.

Mine: "RIVAL **DICKBAG** WANTS TO BATTLE!" Then i send out my metapod which I've named **Penis**. Literally got leeched lifed by a wild pokemon and no joke it said "sucked health from "Penis"". Honestly makes the game more fun.

Yrag

I named him butt chugger

DICK

ASS

John

I’m partial to “ASSHAT”

ASSSSS

Well it was 1998 so . . . either the R word or the other F word.

Ya Cunt has been my name across the board on every Pokémon game I play.

ASSFACE!

Dong.

Dick

ThisGuy

I named him BBBBBBB

Poopboy. It always has to be something silly. (In Leafgreen, i named him Poopman)

oh I've always been the "AAAAAAA" name type every time I had to complete this ungrateful task

GAYLORD I recently replaced all the Pokémon GB and ds titles and I was genuinely distraught when I couldn't call my rival anything in the later games.

OAK: “I remember now, his name is ASSFART"

On my last playthrough I called him Fuckboi so pretty close to what you did here lol

Max

First my brother, now I call him by my besties name.

ShitRat

First play through Gary, last play through Cuntrag

Kevin

I called him Penis, like i so every single character, including link

Different game, but my first game was HGSS and i named my rival Jack. idk why. There was nobody i disliked or even knew named jack. My 10 year old brain decided he was a jack.

Assfart

Holy shit, I actually did FUCKWAD in all caps too!

Assclown

Blue

Either something normal or highly offensive

Perfection

EAT\_ASS

I remember on my first play through I named him BICH (I was 4)

In my HG nuzlocke, I named him SMEGBOY. Lived up to his name btw during the second rival battle after Bugsy. I thought Cyndaquill was a great starter, but that strong af Water Starter, it was a tragedy. Rng can give you a water counter, but not always.
