I always name the pokemon I'm going to be using in my team. It gives them a bit of personality and means I don't have to think of them as their species name...which just seems weird to me.
My name in Diamond is Asche. I started the game and was like 'ohcrap, I have to pick a name don't I?' so I just put in the first name that came into my head.
I chose Piplup due to its 'aww, it's so cute *hugs to death*' factor. Said factor disappeared by the time Empoleon arrived ._. I wants my Blaziken from Emerald now. Or my Feraligatr from Crystal XD
