What was your first trainer's name?

I always named him after my name.

 

[What's His Face]

Not specific for Pokemon, but I tend to name my male MC's all the same name so long as there's no canonical default. The more serious the game, the more likely I'll name the MC... "Dicky."

There is a reason. I do not like to talk about it. ?

For me, it was ASH. In all caps because I didn’t know the difference of caps lock at the time.

I know that’s super basic, so here’s a fun one: when I stumbled across a Pokémon Red cart for $2 at the bottom of a garage sale bin (probably my best ever garage sale find), it was half completed with the name “Dobi”.

Ever since, for titles I’m playing for private use and not to connect with friends, I name myself Dobi in honor of that cart!

I was so little the first time i played pokemon, so it was called AAAAAA, and the rival was BAAAAA

 

[Raziya The Seeker]

TIGER[PK], where the "[PK]" part was the little symbol to abbreviate "Poke" in Pokemon with. Somehow I vaguely knew about Earthbound at the time, probably from a Smash Bros rental.

 

[Toppis]

I did use my real name for trainer and rival did was canon name

Now i use my online name for trainer

 

[mini pancake]

Rafael (my name)

 

[Zhra]

I liked Raggedy Anne and the Annie musical, so my first trainer's name was Anne.

 

[Antilocal123]

Mike Hawk.

[Theriise]

First pokemon game: Silver on GB
First trainer name: M
I had 0 clue what to call my male protag, so I just used the first letter of my (female) real name.
First rival name: ??????
No seriously, that's what I input. I thought there was going to be a big name reveal at the end of the game for him. I was not a very smart child.

 

[Krazy Kat]

i play pokemon green on my gb and the mc i give him a name "Weed"

 

[ieatcarrotcake]

I wrote my name in all caps as a kid as I didn't know they had lower case

You remind me of the exploits of a very important protagonist.
