The names of the main character are of our family and the names of the rivals are people we have had "unfortunate" incidents with in our lives.

I nicknamed my Sunflora "Orville" in Emerald. It was a guy Sunflora so I couldn't name it Cindy like I planned.

In terms of my character's name...

Blue, Yellow, Silver, Crystal, Sapphire, Leaf Green and Emerald: Vycksta. Yeah, it's my real name and I used it on the males despite being a girl... boo hoo to you.
Red: It varied as I used that game to get me a bunch of TMs for my Pokemon on Blue.
Gold: Ishizu. Yu-Gi-Oh kick.
Ruby: Varies as I use that to play Scramble Challenges.
Fire Red: Misha. Pita-Ten kick.
Colosseum: Leon.
XD: Sonic.

In terms of my rival's name...

Blue, Yellow and Leaf Green: Gary.
Gold: Silver and Crystal: Darren. The rival looked like my ex.

In terms of my Pokemons names... heh, I name a lot of them including all of my Sneasel army. I'll just stick with 20 names to keep it simple. These are all on Emerald.

10 Sneasels: Lesaens, Reqosh, Fai-Miroke, Airan-Jo, Khimonia, Nightwish, Septiembre, Natsumeya, Saffronikr, Raburina.
Gyarados: Seikrats.
Persian: Laaqnessa.
2 Misdreavus': Valtou and Miyushani.
2 Cradily: Zoqikhet and Kotoko.
Typhlosion: Fevravny.
Seadra: Suishide.
Haunter: Deyuixem.
Zapdos: Halliaraya.
 

Dinaria

These are real fears
I haven't played for so long, I've only played Ruby and FireRed, and so far I've only called the trainer my real name. But I'm going to use Dinaria or Nayli for Pearl though.
I named the rival in FireRed Gary, because, you know, it was Gary, and I couldn't think of something better.
As for my pokémon.. in Ruby, I just named them boring names:
Tropius: Trius
Vaporeon: Vaps
Blaziken: Blaze
Mawile: While
Dewgong: Dew
Raichu: Rai

But my FRteam has far better names. ^^
Charizard: Bonfire
Butterfree: Silverdust
Marowak: Contrary
Arcanine: Hurricane
Taurus: Westwind
Dragonari: Drizzle

I name them after their characteristics (Arcanine is fast, as are hurricanes), where they live (Dragonair lives in water, and drizzle is a type of water, sort of), or their type (Charizard is fire-type, and a bonfire is a fire). Or one of my "thought-chains" (Taurus = buffalo = livestock = western, sort of = there are winds there = westwind. Plus, I've been role-playing with a guy and his characters name was Westwind. So it stuck.). Or random stuff. ^^ Like Contrary, not sure where I got that.

All other pokémon I catch are named too, but just boring stuff from their original name. Like Poochyena: Pooch or Zigzagoon = ZigZag. Pretty much in the fashion of my Ruby Team... but sometimes I get a little more creative, I named my Electabuzz Buzz Lgtyr (Lightyear, there wasn't any space left x).

Okay, so I'm just rambling. Excuse me. xD
 

FireHead Hank

Matt Fanboy
In the 3th gen games I named myself Hank and in FireRed I named myself Hokage. I usually call my rival Gary or Green.

I love giving my favorite Pokemon nicknames. It gives them something like a personality and uniqueness(sp?w?). Here some examples:

Everest the Aggron
Kinshamo the Blaziken
Tony the Aipom
Shakou the Claydol
Magfire the Magcargo
Cable the Electabuzz
Katai the Graveler
...and so on

The King of Karp
Red-
Me: Gary
Rival: Ash

Blue-
Me: Koopa (Later changed to 'Moopa' for reasons unknown. My game was glitchy)
Rival: Ash

Silver-
Me: Spitball
Rival: Nope

Sapphire-
Me: Apple, Orville, Denise, Wallace, Ness
Rival: May (Brendan once)

Ruby-

I nickname almost all of my pokemon, and most of them are completely irrevelent to their actual name. Like my Swampert is named Archie, and my Kyogre is named Izzy. Bruce the Hitmontop, Todd the Weezing, though I still like Chuck the Charizard the best. :D
 

Ampris

Slip slidin'
The character names rarely have any deep thought put into them, being inspired by my favorite podracer, a singing duo I like, and my screenname. But I do make a point of naming every single pokémon captured, and the names either are entirely unrelated to anything, as in Hip-Hop the Breloom or WhereUAt the jigglypuff, or have much more meaning like Schizo and Phrenia the Ninjask and Shedinja (excepting the ones in my parties, who nearly always end up named for favorite characters or celebrites and such)

Yellow:

Me= Gasgano
Rival= Gary

Pikachu- Pikafat
Victreebel-Raul
Articuno- Amelia
Eevee- Eevee (got her in a trade, hence the uninspired name)

Ninetails- Tails (likewise)
Dragonaire- Mulan

Emerald:

Me- Simon

Swampert- Garfunkle
Ludicolo- Brock
Cacnea- Megumi
Dustox- Mozart
Wobbufet- James
Chimecho- Jessie

Fire Red:

Me- Ampris (After the main character from The Alien Chronicles book series)
Rival- Elrabin (who was Ampris' Kelth friend in the books)

Charmeleon- Lionel (as in Lionel Richie<3)
Onix- Andromache
Meowth- Kasumi
Arbok- Peter
Magikarp- Arseus (I, as a huge Magikarp fan, was highly offended by Magikarp's pokédex entry, and thus named the so-called most worthless pokémon after the super-uber god pokémon out of spite.)
