    There was already a thread on the topic of nicknames :[ But since this was moved from somewhere else, then I guess I shouldn't have expected you to check for an existing one.

    I always do because it personalizes it, especially were I to catch/train multiple. One of my favorites is a Swellow named Birnadette. I think I was thinking of Bird-nadette but it just somehow stayed an actual name.

    Sometimes if I catch Pokemon for a purpose I'll name them that. I had a Raltz, Wurmple, and others named "TRADE". Once I actually decided to train one, which was weird because then it was like "Your TRADE evolved into a Mightyena!".

    The only nicknames I give are to the Unown, just to identify what letter they are.

    I never nickname my pokemon but thinking about it these days.....when I got Sapphire for the first time, I wish I named my Cyndaquil (sp?) Blaze just for a specific nickname when he evolved into Blaziken >_>

    meh, maybe I should start nicknaming my pokemon again XD

    I tend to nickname Pokémon an alteration of their actual name. For example, Ampharos would be Rapharam. Kinda like that. Or, if it just sounds kewl at the moment, I'd also use it. Like Zemquick, the Luxray (named before I found out it wasn't all that fast). I suppose I'll list my cooler nicknames that I've done:

    Diamnaga, Dialga
    Patiku, Pikachu
    Bloo, Empoleon (I just like that one ^^)
    Pialkia, Palkia
    Tartynitar, Tyranitar
    Skyblade X, Skarmory (only because I could fit the 'X')
    And so on.

    I never actually nickname them in-game but when I use a Pokemon for a while I end calling it by some shortened name in my head. Like, if my spheal is low on HP I'll find myself thinking "Live Sphee! Live!"
