Do you nickname your pokemon?

[koji8123]

I'm one of those who don't nickname their pokemon, and leave it at is. When I'm sending out a Pikachu I'm not sending out "Go, Sparky!" What about you? Do you name your pokemon?

Sometimes I do. I prefer their original set names, but if I can think of something, I'll name it! I mostly don't because I'm not creative enough naming them... XD

Right now on my Black version I nicknamed:
Persian - Whiskers
Espeon - Kyubey
Leafeon - Rune

Old nicknames I remember:
Mudkip - Skippy
Latias - Misty (because of Mist Ball, not because of Gym Leader Misty)

I'm not the type either for giving my Pokemon a nickname either. I much prefer to let it keep it's original name. I've never given a Pokemon a nickname, not even once, by the way. It was just something I never bothered with.

I just started giving my pokemon nicknames, i never used just because i couldnt be bothered but one day i just decied to give it a go so now I name everything and usally something to do with the pokemon eg. My Blaziken is nicknamed Vulcan and my Gengar is called Casper

I'm not the kind of guy who nicknames his Pokemon because I don't really have good nicknames for them. If I did have good names, then I'd feel silly naming them.

I sometimes nickname my Pokemon. Most usually it is in my challenges where I tend to nickname them after people from PC. Coming up with good nicknames is usually very hard.

I always give my pokemons nicknames, with, a long time later make me think "WTF is that nickname for!?"

- Erik V - Stantler (First EV trained pokemon ever)
- Badass Bug - Dustox
- Japs - Player
- Wapton - Kricketune
- Cofagrigus - Im a Fag

 

[shengar]

I always do! My reason is to keep my pokemon is somewhat unique for me. I don't like see to it when a random trainer have a same pokemon and that pokemon are also nameless. For pokemon that I caught only to fill the pokedex or getting run out of name, I usually create something random but still good. If the pokemon are going to my main team or train it, I'll name them after some character and people I know.

Ehhh, Sometimes. Most of the time it's only in challenges.

 

[adamant57]

I give ALL my pokemon nicknames except for legendaries. I nickname them based on their dex entries, trivia, japanese names or their name origin

examples:
Tyranitar: Godzilla
Volcarona: Mothra
Hydreigon: Ghidorah
Samurott-Samurai/Shogun
Cofagrigus: Death can

I'm not the type to nickname mine, but if think of someting funny, then I might.

 

[koji8123]

Maybe I should have added a Poll XD

 

[Osha_say_wott?!]

If it's my first time capturing them; I don't name my Pokémon. And if it's my second time capturing a certain Pokémon; I will name them if I can think of one.^^

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Yes, but I just give them generic boy/girl names, which aren't interesting enough to post here. But rest assured that my in-game team at least all have nicknames.

 

[Kikaito plush]

I only nickname my Team and for GTS trades..

My team

Pala- togetic
Nicko- lucario
Marlon- Nidoqueen

So I caught a Luxor, and looked at the star on it's tail.

It looked like a star from that art piece "Starry Night".
Who made that painting? Vangoe.

I ended up naming it Vangor

 

[KiroVinci]

No , its no point in name them again.....

 

[~Ryukaa]

I always name my Pokemon. xD;
In my current White playthrough, my party's names are...
Sceptile ( Terra )
Swellow ( Ace )
Joltik ( Dahlia )
Drilbur ( Jacques )
Zebstrika ( Peaches )
Audino ( Ribs )

 

[MSIMMe]

I hardly do and if I do its like NidoranM nicknamed Nidoking(with lowercase letters) but in GenV I only name slaves Slave(a number)

 

[Meganium]

I used to nickname my Pokemon when I first started playing the games. Today, I just feel lazy in nicknaming them, I just add in an -ie or -y at the end. xD
