    Yup, there's one within one of the buildings in Castelia.
    This doesn't relate to the original nicknames of your Pokemon, though :(

    Best to ask in simple questions next time.

    • I have a tendency of naming my Pokemon after other Pokemon, like Bulbasaur the Serperior. I really should stop doing that.

    • I only have one Pokemon right now since my entire dream team is route 7+

    My little Tepig was named Tank. I feel that was appropriate for his final evolution. Plus he is bold in nature, so he is a legit defense tank.

    • My current Black team:

    Apple (Snivy) - Just thought this one was fitting for a snake! Especially one like Snivy.
    Twoface (Cofagrigus) - Because he has two faces! Plain and simple.
    Guy-Man (Scrafty) - From Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, my favorite Daft Punk!
    Darmani (Darmanitan) - This one was so painfully obvious, I couldn't resist. For those who don't know, he gets his name from the great Goron hero from Zelda: Majora's Mask.
    Joule (Eelektross) - From the SI unit of energy.
    Maple (Beartic) - Inspired by the Canadian flag.

    And some others that I like...

    Oshum (Oshawott) - Because he's Oshawott. And he's awesome (Okay, so this one's a little corny, but I still like it :P)
    Moxie (Emolga) - I just like this word. It sounds cool, and not only that, but this particular Emolga is Bold natured as well, so it fits.
    Bravo (Pansage) - Don't know why, but this one just seemed to click.

    Oh god, my nicknames for Pokémon are interesting. XD I have as of right now:

    >> A Samurott named Apollo (after Apollo Justice lolll)
    >> An Excadrill named Mitsurugi (from Soulcalibur, idk why though)
    >> A Scraggy named Jupiter (I seriously don't know)
    >> A Sigilyph named Tetris (it's so colourful!)
    >> A Zebstrika named Comet (there's Dasher and Dancer and Donner and Blitzen... Zebstrika isn't even a reindeer so what is my logic.)
    >> A Litwick named Shiro (Japanese for White; thought it would be fitting because it's Pokémon White, yannow)

    They're not the strangest, but they're so random. I don't even.

    These are the Pokemon currently on my team and what I call them:

    Dewott- Mijumaru, simply because of the fact that I like the Japanese name of its first stage better

    Herdier- Sploded, because of the exploded face it has on its first stage

    Pansear- Ace, because he was my ace-in-the-hole against Cilian

    Tranquill- Popcorn, because it's a pigeon

    Sawk- Blue Man, take a guess as to why I call it that

    Blitzle- Jay Hawk, Machinima Call of Duty 24 day Livestream reference

    • I called Tepig, 'Fire-Pig' and Oshawott 'Otty.'

    They seem really plain but ever since they were unveiled, thats what I've been calling them.

    When I get Snivy, 'Smugleaf' or 'D.Cameron' will be his name.

    That made me laugh!

    I have a compulsion to name all my Pokémon in a running theme, and it annoys me when I run out of names, or can't think of one... so this time I'm naming my Pokémon in alphabetical order, with Victorian-style names.

    My current team (you can see where I've switched out Pokémon for new ones with this system, which I kind of like):
    Althalus (Servine)
    Dorian (Purrloin, I thought Dorian Gray was a fitting reference)
    Friedrich (Munna)
    Ingrid (Drilbur)
    Katherine (Tympole)
    Lucian (Timburr)

    When I get to Z, I'm going to start going backwards until I reach A again, and so on. I'm hoping to get a big range of names this way :P

    • When I first started out I named my Oshawott Eenie. Me and my friend Whitey wanted to match with the names. And for some reason we went with Eenie and Meenie. When I got to Castelia though I changed that, because Eenie just doesn't sound right with a Samurott, haha.

    Samurott- Neptune. When it comes to water pokemon I tend to give them names from water-like gods/godesses or names of water-like beings, such as sirens. Just look at my blastoise. He's forever named Poseidon.

    Zebristika- Zeus. I was in a greek-y mood. xD But it works too, since he shoots lightning beams of death, and this pokemon does too.

    Reuniculu- Neon. I like neon green, and it was of a color similar to that. Not to mention it just sounded very psychic to me.

    Scolipede- Lilith. Lilith, according to christianity, is a demon. Scolipede just oozes demonic tendencies to me; It's so badass looking and scary. Also the name Lilith reminds me of the color purple, and Scolipede is purple.

    Simisear- Coco. I managed to get a female simisear on my first try. If it was a boy I was going to name him charcoal, but I never got the boy, so I had to improvise. I named her Coco after the coal part of the word.

    Krookodile- Jazmine. Princess Jazmine is my favorite disney princess. The story also takes place in the middle east, where there are deserts rampant. Because I found a female krookodile first, and I found her in a desert, I named her Jazmine.
