Do you use your own name as your IGN? What do you think of people who don't?

I've only used my ingame name once, and that was with X/Y because you could finally customize trainers.

Can't for the life of me remember the named I used for Blue/Yellow/Silver and Crystal, but I do remember the names from gen 3 on.

Leaf Green: Picked the girl and named her Sassy.

Emerald: Picked the guy and named him Nick

Diamond: Picked the guy and named him Luke (didn't even find out his official name was Lucas until later)

Black: It was a tough decision seeing as both the male and female protags for the first half of gen 5 were perfect, but in the end, I chose the male and named him Jaden because when the image of Alder leaked here on /vp/, i immediately thought of Yu-gi-oh.

Then we get to X where I finally use my real name.

Then with Alpha Sapphire, I chose the guy again, but instead of Nick I named him Alex.

I've always used my name but I was tempted to use my nickname in X. Good job I didn't or that'd have made the first town problematic!

Used to when I was a kid, but then I got an alias. I use that for every game I play, and everything I need a name for like YouTube, Steam, etc. I get immersed better into games if I don't use my name.

Feels good no longer having to truncate your name just because your name had 8+ letters.

I used to use my real name, but now I can't anymore because of the poor implemented censorship for words of the last couple of games.

Quoted By:

I used canon names for everything up until fourth gen. At some point I decided I wanted to just find a really good name to use in all pokemon games so I looked up my favourite pokemon from my childhood, and named myself after the only prominent trainer to use it.

So my IGN is Rainer, after the eevee brother who used Vaporeon.

Quoted By:

When I was a kid I did, then I stopped because I preferred to imagine that the character I was controlling was separate from myself and I was "watching" their adventure. I went back to naming the protag after myself in X, though, because of the customization thing, but now I sort of regret it because I feel an autistic need to keep the character's appearance similar to how I look IRL.

I always felt that Pokemon was supposed to be a self-insert adventure, so I use my real name for at least the first playthrough.

No, the game is about them. It's fun to think that we're the one that's immersed in the game, but that would be called autistic.

We're just watching their adventures from the sideline. We play as them, but we're not them.

I never name a MC my own name, it's almost always the default canon name like Red, Lyra, Dawn and Brendan. Only in XY I searched for French names because their original name is kinda bland / doesn't suit my tastes.

Quoted By:

I usually base my player characters' names off names I recently heard in various media (at least since HGSS).

SoulSilver: Conrad (After Conrad Birdy in Bye Bye Birdy)

White: Syrus (After Syrus in Yugioh GX, I think)

White 2: Johnny (After John Madden, for some reason)

Alpha Sapphire: Shaun (After the Heavy Rain "SHAUUUUN" glitch)

Pretty much every time before then I named myself "CHRIS" for some reason (also isn't my real name, but for some reason I used for all the Gen III games I had).

Pre-Gen 5, I used video game character names for the protagonist.

Gen 5 forward, I use my general username, since most of my friends/acquaintances know me by it.

I don't use my real name in any game because it detracts from my experience more often than not.

I name myself Kamon (not my real name) because that was one of the name choices in Silver. I stuck with it because I wasn't creative with names. I don't mind my name, but I don't get as much immersion if I use an alias. I use the same name for every game to keep consistency.

They're asking you for your name. Either use your own name, your nickname, or in light of the online features, a handle. Default names are boring as shit and the rest are just fucking retarded. That said, I don't really care what you do.

I always use my nickname not only in Pokemon but in any game that lets me be the main character (except stuff like FF or Chrono Trigger, for example). I love to insert myself into the game, feel like I'm the one traveling the region or fighting monsters or just walk around with cool clothes. My real name is very boring and very common in my country, I don't like it.

I don't care about other's names but I feel having usernames as IGNs (like several words or stuff you'd expect from an e-mail address) or random meme names are unoriginal and retarded. Even a two letter name is better and more original than that shit.
