How about a trip through memory lane, shall we?
Data from my original Blue and Crystal versions have been lost.
Green: コズイチ [Kozuichi]. I think I was trying to go for "Little Hammer" with this. That save file never continued far past the Boulder Badge.
Emerald: Ourichs, after a character I made up from a fake RPG.
Fire Red: Kleiver, also after something I made up from somewhere. The name came from some ultimate move from another fake RPG thing.
I didn't play a main game from the fourth generation.
Soul Silver: Karagu, after a character I GMed with in a forum RP that took place on Kingdom Hearts Ultimania.
White: Ace, after the protagonist from Final Fantasy Type-0. One of the few names I actually took from somewhere, rather than make up.
White 2: Rodney (original file), Lloyd (second file). ... Real names? Actually, I played W2 after X version. However...
X: Nixon. I wanted to have a name that had an "X" in it, but it also happens to be the closest thing I've ever used to my real name.
Omega Ruby: Duelleck. After the last name of a superhero character I created in Champions Online, Wheelman.
Alpha Sapphire: Merlwyn. A slight bastardization of the name used by a NPC from FFXIV's main story, Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn (because Roegadyn names are awesome). Also, to this point, this is the only time I've used a female avatar in the series.
Fun fact: The trainer IDs of the Kami trio I've assembled in OR, when put in Pokedex order, actually spell out the full name of Wheelman's secret identity.

It's the DR Tornadus from the first White 2 play, the DR Thundurus from the second W2 play, and the Landorus from the OR mirage hunt.
