    I nicknamed my Chespin Timmy because he looked like Timmy Turner from Fairly Odd Parents (of course, he doesn't now that he's evolved).

    I always name the first one of each pokémon I catch, usually something that incorporates their real name... so my Fennekin was named Fennel (like the herb). This does mean I have a tonne of wierd names.

    I'm planning on calling my completed team after legendary starships from TV & Animé, these are the ones I've thought of so far..

    Gengar: Nostromo
    Alakazam: Ryo-Ohki
    Galvantula: Far Star
    Sylveon: Fireball

    If anyone gets any of those references let me know, because you get 10 cool points in the post. :D

    I don't nickname my Pokemon that often (I'm awful at coming up with names for stuff usually). But I have these ones with nicknames on my Y:

    Aegislash: Falchion (the blade from Fire Emblem, not the type of sword)
    Klefki: Mr. Jingles
    Pyroar: Caineghis (a Fire Emblem character)
    And I have 3 Espurrs named: Crack Fiend, IWANTYERSOUL, and Cuddles.

  • Heres the nicknames of my X ingame team.

    Most are French names or French Heros names (to fit the kalos region being France).

    Gardevoir- Geneviève

    Talonflame- Pénélope

    Espeon- Frédéric

    Blastoise- Napoleon

    Xerneas- Charlemagne

    The only one to Brake the rule is my Delphox which I named Rommel after the Afrika Korps Field Marshal Erwin Rommel because his nickname was the Desert Fox and Fenikin is a Desert Fox (Fennec fox).

  • Digit//Pigdeot
    Anubis//Lucario
    Excalibur//Doublade
    Firefox//Delphox
    Loki//Blastoise
    Azula//Raichu (named after my bf, not the one from the actual series)

    There you have it. :3 I've named my Pidgey digit for many years. I think since I started playing Pokemon Yellow? Originally, it was supposed to rhyme with the pronunciation for pidgeot, which I believe is 'pij-it'. I could be wrong though. Anyway, it just stuck with my ever since then that I've always named my Pidgey Digit.

    Pidgeot: Obrigado (Means Thank you in Portuguese I believe)

    Aurorus: Stella (I...just like the name. Suits her)
    Dedenne: Kishou (Fits her ?)

  • As a person who typically doesn't nickname their Pokémon, I think I've found the joy in naming them with my post-game team. Note they're still in training, but right now I have with me...

    Lux the Shinx
    Wasn't really creative with this one, but you get the idea here.

    Pixel the Shiny Togetic
    Was originally going to be the name for my Vivillion, but I decided to give it to my Togepi instead.

    Toothless the Mawile
    Kind of like calling the big guy in the group Tiny.

    Ness the Dragalage
    Even though Dragalage is based on a totally different species, I named her Ness based off of Nessie the Loch Ness Monster.

    Sybil the Espeon
    Sybil like the oracle. It seemed fitting since Espeon is a Psychic type and it's a girl!

    Excalibur the Honedge
    Need I say more?

    Goomy named Taffy. (cause candy)

    Tyrantrum named Reggie. (Iunno)

    Mawile's name is Filia. (look up Skullgirls)

  • When on my first play through of a new generation Pokémon game I don't use nicknames so that I can easily remember their actual names.
    After the Elite Four I have six Pokémon with nicknames so far;
    Vulthuryol the Charizard
    Bubblegum the Azumarill
    Excalibur the Aegislash
    Mourningwood the Trevanant
    van Gogh the Smeargle
    Goozilla
    the Goodra

  • I have a new team set up now.

    Name: Plutia
    Nickname: Iris Heart (reference to Hyperdimension Neptunia. You should watch it)

    Garchomp-Zangetsu (Cutting Moon. Picked for Garchomp's arm fins looking like the blade)
    Pikachu-Gonryomaru (Stern Spirit. Picked for both being Electric)
    Aerodactyl-Kazeshini (Wind of Death. Fossil=Death, and it is a Flying-type)
    Blaziken (no nickname yet because it is the event one)
    Charizard-Ryujin Jakka (Flowing Blade-like Flame. Nickname I wanted for Blaziken, see above. Was originally going to nickname it Tobiume (Flying Plum Tree))
    Linoone-Wabisuke (The Wretched One. Picked because Wabisuke is useless in my eyes, and my Linoone is a pure HM Slave)

  • I don't nickname my team at all, pretty much the only nicknamed Pokemon I have on X right now is Kinniekins the Braixen which I obtained from Shauna. It's been a tradition that I don't nickname my main team a lot and I probably won't stop it anytime soon.
