    What do you think the default trainer names? I thought that it could possibly be Xavier and Yvonne. This would follow the theme they sometimes have.

    If the Default Name for the Female character was Xion (Shi~on)
    or the Male Character name was Yvan (Ivu~an)
    that would be cool too

    Yancy? Yancy anyone? No? Okay...

    What if the names started with V and W, you know, V, W, X, Y etc ?
    I think it would be hard to spot the reference but it'd be pretty interesting.

    Where the legendaries are already based on the respective letters in both design and name, I can see the default trainer names having nothing to do with X and Y, and honestly I think that would be for the best as it would sort of be overkill on the X and Y things. We get it, the new versions are letters. Don't need to beat us over the head with it.

    lol, you do have a point.

    Default names have never really had anything to do with the version names

    Aw but being beaten over the head is fun. Especially if it's with rhythm!
    Naw I kid.
    but it wouldn't surprise me if they did do that, using X and Y for their names.
    There were: Gold, Silver, Red, Blue, and Yellow. I think. (not counting Heart Gold or Soul Silver, because they actually did use different names for them)

    Xander would be cool for a boy name though.

    >In Red and Blue main trainer names are known as Red and Blue
    >In Gold, Silver and Crystal the default names are based on the version colors
    >FireRed and LeafGreen characters are called Red and Leaf

    ok

    The name could have sort of meaning behind it. For example, Nate's and Rosa's (B2/W2's MCs) names come from the words "resonate". Hilbert's and Hilda's names come from the word "Hild".

    So, they could my name maybe. :D

    Justin and Justine, from the word Justice? No? Well....okay. The point is they have a somewhat of new theme than naming their characters off of the game titles and instead take the names from actual words.

    Well, unless they decided to change it back. Like I said before, they change stuff all the time rather than keeping it the same way, probably why they changed the names in the first place.

    I don't really care for the original names in the game, because I'll just change it to, Cory. I always name the boy characters that. ^.^

    I'm Thinking Xavier would be cool, and is a common name in Europe, as for the rest I'm not sure.

    I always name myself Ben too, but I'm still pretty interested in what they could come up with.

    I'd like using default names just for kicks, but since my name shows up in the Pokémon, I'm always Slugkid.
    I actually have Pokémon from two other games I played before, and it gets kinda confusing sometimes to know in which game I caught it, haha.

    Ah they could be named anything really xD I didn't like bw2's new character names for the protagonists so I hope X/Y has better names.

    BW2's Character names were better than BW1's names. Hilbert and Hilda? I mean, come on. Who really has those names?
