    I nickname some of my Pokemon. My Diamond, however, has boxes filled with nicknamed pokemon. XDD;

    From my team, I have my Lucario is who is named Rukio, my Luxray who is Raia, and my Torterra who has the name Magic. In training, I have my low leveled Lucario, Adiuvo, and my shiny Vulpix, Eclipse. For my bearly trained pokemon, I have two Starly's who are named Flaria (my shiny) and Konjou (my perfect IV). I also apparently have a Combee named Comb Queen that I recieved in Wifi and two female Eevee named for my friends, Cammi and Sammi. :]

    AAAAnd then there are my many Riolu. I have Laii, Rakuu, Hadouga, Zeus, Rio, Kaziku(female), Lucoru, Leo, Reo, Rukaro, Razu, ~Rika(female), Loco, Roco, Rolo, Rukioru, Oruu, Roru, Roloko, Rotu, Lucaru Roku, Filius, Rukara (female), Luco, and Xhara (female). :'DDD;

    I was going to have a team full of characters from The Portrait of Dorian Grey, but it kinda fell apart and I was left with just a Marshtomp named Lord Henry. xD That same game had a Linoone named Esquire and a Houndour named Juno.

    When I start R/S/E with a Torchic, I typically name him Faust. Once when it was a girl I named her July. Most of the team had names that time - Rai the Manectric (female), Jack the Umbreon (male), Larson the Gardevoir (male!), and Lora the Linoone (female).

    I occasionally nickname Pokemon. My Emerald starter, Torchic, was female [which I knew was a bit rare] so I named it Tiki.

    My monotype Poison team on LG had these names:
    Venusar - Qu
    Nidoking - Ve
    Nidoqueen - Ef
    Vileplume - De
    Venonat - Ze
    Haunter - Ge

    yup, letters XD

    I usually just name my pokemon by their japanese name if I can't think of a name for them. Other then that, I do name them.

    I nickname my Pokemon the first things that come to my mind. Which is basically why my Poochyena is named Chocolate but I was hungry at the time. :|

    I'm one of those trainers that nicknames every single one of their Pkmn o.o

    every pokemon I capture has a nick. it's nothing elaborate, but I like giving them names that inspire me when I look at them. Most are not that innovative, either, but who cares?

    Random:

    Bulbasaur (LeafGreen starter) - Sylan
    Cyndaquil (Crystal starter) - Fire
    Mudkip (Sapphire starter) - Trace
    Treecko (Emerald starter) - Sphynx
    Mewtwo (LeafGreen) - Hiei (don't ask).
    Female Lapras - Apryl.
    Celebi - Azure.
    Female Pidgey - Lady
    Female Mareep - Mary
    Male Psyduck - Psycho
    Vaporeon - Goccia (italian for Water drop)
    Jirachi - Wish or Desire or Mirai (future in japanese)
    Ekans - Matthew.
    Gyarados - Kawa (lake in japanese)

    As i said, completely random :3

    I used to call my pokemon the names of moves that they could learn:

    diamond:
    Razor-leaf (torterra)
    Flamethrower (infernape)
    bubble (piplup)
    ect.

    In mystery dungeon I did human names that suited them, (my partner is always called ozzy):

    sapphire (skitty)
    ozzy (mudkip)
    ruby (torchic-current one)
    ozzy (piplup-current one)
    electra (pikachu)
    ozzy (charmander)
    flamey (charmander)
    ozzy (pikachu)

    weird, eh?
