4th Generation: Did you nickname your starter?

[Shiny_Flareon]

Hey! I want to know who nicknamed their starter pokemon.
I nicknamed my turtwig twiggy, i nicked my bulbasaur Black, And my torchick was uhh... Torchick XD.

[Hooh54]

Never did, I was dumb little child and didn't care about nicknames.

[pikakitten]

Sinnoh: Turtwig, Twiggy xD

Johto: First time, Cyndaquil: Blaze; Second, Chikorita: Brittany

[SNOR(es)LAX]

I never really nickname my Pokemon, because I am bad in this kind of things.

[PikachuAddict]

I usually nickname my starter. In the FireRed I just nicknamed my Bulbasaur Bulbasir. My Cyndaquil is Flame.

[Curious.]

Nope, I hardly ever nickname my Pokemon; so the starters I chose in each region aren't exceptions.

[Rainbow Arcanine]

I did <3, I love giving my Pokemon nicknames that are cute and simple :3. If I remember correctly, I called my Turtwig Basil and my Totodile Jaws <33.

[Hikari10]

No, I always tend to never nickname my team and my starter is no exception.

[Brendino]

Yes, in Platinum my Piplup was nicknamed Czar, and my Cyndaquil was nicknamed Ty (both names given with their final evolution in mind).

[SoraTheTruth]

i nicknamed my Chimchar SausageBun

[BinaryPeaches]

Infernape - Razu. Named it after a friend of mine
Empoleon - Genis. named it after a character in Tales of Symphonia
Torterra - Tiny. Named it that because... well Oxymoron or whatever.
Feraligatr - Cooly. For Nostaglia.

Never got a Typhosion or Meganium as starters for this generation. Or at least as my very first Pokemon.

[Curtis talli]

I named my chikorita Chikentika for the heck of it
I named Turtwig Ben after a friend

[Deceit]

I only nickname starters if I already have an idea for the name, or I am going to use it in game. If not, I usually just give it its normal name.

[Mama-Mamo]

I nickname during my play through of games. (:

My starter in HeartGold was a Chikorita named Mint.

[CourageHound]

I always name my starter(all of my pokemon really), it feels right that way. I named my chimchar Cinder.

[Rivvon]

Pengu the Piplup, because penguins.
And Cutey the Chikorita, because that's what I named my Chikorita in Crystal!

[Ultimate PKMN Trainer Red]

No. I never nickname my Pokemons, only Pikachu, if I get one I nickname him Pika xD.

[Miss Anne Thrope]

I named my Totodile Torrent.

[AzaleaLightning]

I never ever used to name my Pokemon, but now I'm obsessed with nicknames! They have to have them, even if they're the dumbest most boring names you can imagine.

I haven't played through any Gen IV games in quite a while (though I want to do Diamond Version really soon), where I'll definitely pick Piplup and perhaps name it... Sashimi? I named my Samurott that in Gen V and loved it, it goes excellent with most Water-types cx

In HGSS I always pick Chikorita, and I almost always end up nicknaming it the stereotypical Sakura, which is perfect for Meganium!

[Sweets Witch]

In 2nd gen my Totodile was (and will always be) Crocogator, but I could never really come up with anything good enough for the others.

[Wind Heart]

I nicknamed my Chimchar as 'Charter', and for Chikorita I give it 'Megaleaf'.

[Imperator161]

I typically nickname all of my Pokemon (with a few exceptions, like Pokemon I'm going to trade to other people or don't care about at all). I named my starter after my trainer name, as I have done in every generation thus far.

[KingSquirtle]

i nicknamed my piplup mac (macaroni penguin like empoleon) and totodile muldile (mul being korean for water and dile... well crocodile lol)

[Totodile42]

Yep! I named my Piplup Pengi. It was the first Pokemon I ever got to Level 100!
