Nicknames or No Nicknames?

[Daboys121]

I usaully don't nickname because I can't think of a good one, but when I do think of one, I like it a lot.

 

[Camisado]

I've nicknamed my themed team in the Diamond game I decided to do something different with xD basically, since I'm in IT Services, all my Pokémon have sort of...geeky names.

• Umbreon - Blackberry (it's a mobile device, yo)
• Luxio - Fedora (Linux)
• Prinplup - Feather (Linux)
• Aipom - Debian (Linux)
• Ponyta - Oracle (Database system)

Oh, and my trainer name is Cisco ;D

:] Heh heh.
Atleast people don't laugh at the nicknames you give your pokemon. :P I've given them cute names and they always get laughed at. -_-

If I Can Think of Either cool/Funny names

Eg: Weavile: ShadowClaw Because he's like a shadow pokemon and he hunts his pray and tears them apart.

Actually, I play this game at college and all the guys in my class think it's REALLY STUPID that I've made references to the course we're on xD

Cute names are awesome! I have a Pichu called Queenie in Pearl =3

And, um, a Clefairy called Derek.

I've only ever given one nickname: my starter Charmander was known throughout the land of Kanto as DA BURNING.

 

[Hadim Sinan Pasha]

At one stage I was nicknaming my Emerald pokemon and my character was a girl (no, I'm not GAY!!!) but I changed them back to their original names. I just keep them the same because if everI trade them, the person receiving the pokemon may not like the name or might find it offensive in their language. hehe, turkish swearing names are the best.

 

[Cyberboy]

I only nickname the ones that I am going to use, like my ingame team, or that ones that I EV train.

 

[solopy567]

I never nickname my pokemon, because i dont really like nicknames anyway.
The only nicknames i have are those from those in-game trades

I find it annoying if you've traded and the pokemon has a nickname because usually I don't like the nickname it has and then you can't change it. D:

 

[Shiny Umbreon]

Not specifically about D/P, so Pokémon General is better.

-MOVED-

 

[IgnorantUser]

I nickname every single one of my pokemon. EVERY SINGLE ONE. The only exception being when I'm breeding, I don't nickname the babies unless they're the nature I'm looking for.

My main team (at the moment, anyway) is:

Slowbro - Monday
Mismagius - Riddle
Weavile - Vanya
Flygon - Saskia
Honchcrow - Jaqoutte
Armaldo - Waldo

And I nicknamed my starter, Piplup, Alfred. I also have a couple of traditional nicknames that I've kept since I've first started playing pokemon, such as always naming my Pikachus Bolten, my Spearows/Pidgeys Falkor, ect.

Yeah, because I'm always nicknaming things I usually have to ask people I'm trading with whether they want me to change the name of the pokemon they're receiving, haha.

 

[Berlitz]

I nickname EVERY pokemon I have in EVERY version.No exception,no reused nicknames in the same version,I always try to be original. I simply can't afford to leave them just as they are. It's so not cool and usual. All of them have exotic nicknames (okay,Anne and Beatrix are not exotic,but you get the point.)

It helps me care for them. :/ I treat everyone with care and love. They're unique for me.

I never hack,I don't know or don't care about EV and IV train, and I don't care about natures. :/ (Expect for Milotics). It's just my way. I catch them all,complete the pokedex,but always win with my favourites. I used to go to Karen's phisolophy and still belive in it.

"Weak pokemon,strong pokemon. This is onily the selfish perception of people.True trainers should win with their favourites."

Yours pokeresolved,(WTH?)


Miss Berlitz.<3

 

[Bulbasaurs Trainer]

No I Never Nickname Its better To Leave Its Orginoal Game

 

[TurtleKing]

Don't nicknames help a Pokemon grow faster? I heard that somewhere...in a GSC I think. It makes them happier or somethin'.

Nothing wrong with being a college age pokemon player. ;)

I dont care how old I get Ill still be playing.

So, I use to nickname all the time, now its too time consuming if I do because I have to come up with really good names if I do so!

 

[Apathetic_Yen]

I nickname mine just to be obnoxious.

 

[Tater Tot]

No nicknames, nicknames are tacky, and not needed.
That's the name of the Pokemon, keep it's name.

 

[austin00081]

I nickname because
1. It's more fun
2. I feel connected with my pokemon
3. Gives me that feeling of difference and uniqueness
4. I think of it like this, would you call you dog by it's breed name? "Come here Black Lab!"
No. Also the ALL CAPS NAMES annoy me to death.


my nicknamed team
Torterra - Kai (my German name, pronounced K-EYE)
Milotic - Chihiro (from Spirited Away)
Flygon - Yuusie (part of a song title from Floppy, pronounced YOU-SEE)
Ivysaur - Ivy (obvious)
Espeon - Appa (from Avatar, pronounced AH-PA)
Quilava - Yossui (member from Morning Musume, pronounced YO-SWEE)

I name every pokemon I can get to.

 

[Lynnx]

I always nickname my pokemon because I get quite sentimentally attached to them. It's a cutesey thing for me.
