not always

It's funner that way!

Only one time. The other times I used different names :P

depending

Nope, because I like using the default names for the character because though names are awesome.

sometimes

All the time! It feels like I'm actually in the game & like they're communicating to me,and I've done it since my first one a long time ago and I really don't plan on changing it.

When I use different names, I can make completely new characters out of them.

Sometimes.

I always do because, you know, I wanna be the very best. Like no one ever was.
DUN DUN DUN.

Sometimes I name him Red, however, I normally use my name.

I've got this (strange) habit to give my fem chara a name that starts with 'K'.
(My rly name starts with 'J' btw.)
There isn't rly a special reason y I do this - it's just for fun.
(So my current chara is called 'Klara' for ex.)

i used my real name once the first time i played fire red. other than that, i use names that i find awesome :D

I call myself Smeargle.

Never. I always use a name that I think sounds cool and suits that character.

Pokemon Silver was Jamie, Sapphire/Emerald was Mandy, and FireRed/LeafGreen was Akane.

Never...XP

Most of the time yes

I always call myself "Ash". because he's awesome.

I may be a guy in real life, but I always like to pick female protagonists; male protagonists are boring. And I name Serena, well... Serena.
