I always give a nickname to all of my pokemon. Because then they're special, they're not just some random pokemon, it's MY pokemon.

Bastiodon: Bastion
Cradily: Dilan (i'm particularly proud of this lol don't know why)
Lucario: Luca

Although some of them are competely random, i mean, wtf, i called my Cranidos, Larry! XD

I never nickname my Pokémon. Dunno why, though, it just doesn't feel right.

Oh, The Places You'll Go. June 22nd, 2009 11:03 AM

I feel that certain Pokemon are screaming for nicknames.
Or it could be because I just don't like the name period.
I nickname probably 7% of my Pokemon.
Afterall, they are my sweeties, something has to separate them from the rest of those darn trainers you battle every day.
Here are a few I can wiggle out of my head for the moment.
Empoleon ~ Mizuru
Luxray ~ Lust
Driftloon ~ Hollow
Lopunny ~ Caramel or Karma (switching between the two.)
Leafeon ~ Leafia

I only like names with a meaning. I'm not fond of the names people give their Pokemon, like something funny or unreasonable. Or something just wrong. But its their business. >.>

I always named my pokémon since when I first started playing. The only time I wont name my pokémon is when they are legendary, but sometimes I do name my legendaries.

My favorite nicknames:

Belle or Bella, my Gardevoir (NOT because of the "Twilight" series, but because the names mean "beautiful")
Lovetta, my Meganium
Lucy, my Chansey
Scarlett, my Vulpix
Metroid, my Beldum
Puddin, my Arcanine
Luna-Mizu, my Lapras
Victoria, my Absol
Ada Lyn, Ballet, Brink, Dolly, Lola Lovey, Mod, Nadine Lae, and Serina, my female Eevees

(In Pearl)
Exy, my Meowth (I went to a website that had a chat thing and "Exy" was an username and I just fell inlove with the name)
Windee, my Pidgeot (my first caught pokémon ever was a pidgy and I always named them something that had "wind" in the name)
Pimp Ruto, my Empoleon
Madeusa, my Mitlotic
Skipper, my Swampert
Fabio, my Turtwig
Ciro, my Espeon
Meany, my Gyarados
Jinx, my Alakazam
Xal Vador, my Luxray
Havic, my Rotom
Bety Lou, my Miltank

Sorry if that is a long list. I hope that someone finds them okay and what not.

I rarely give nick names and the owns I give the nicknames to always seem to later be in my team and are my favorite
josiah=blazeakanin
ace=straptor
sparkey=pichachu

Mewtwo42 July 22nd, 2009 10:13 AM

The only one I ever really nicknamed was my Piplup. I called it Happyfoot, because the movie Happy Feet came out when I got it.

Tiamo July 22nd, 2009 10:37 AM

I never nickname my pokémon.

Sydian July 22nd, 2009 11:08 AM

I usually name them the first thing that comes to mind. I just got a female Charmander on LeafGreen and decided to name her Jessie. Then I got a Pidgey and named her Cedar. But the worst and most random names of all are my Emerald names.

Lara Croft/ Blaziken
Car Wax/ Alakazam
SolidSnake/ Metagross
SuperIgloo/ Aggron
McFlurry/ Walrein
Dinner/ Shelgon

The all time worst name I came up with was Horny the Rhyhorn. I was in 6th grade and didn't know what it was until my friends told me...it wasn't fun. It was a girl too...and I still have her, but she's a Rhydon named Conifer now.

★Sakuya-San★ July 22nd, 2009 11:42 AM

Ooooo. I love nicknaming my Pokemon. Although at times I'm not creative with them I do find creating them entertaining. Here are some of the names I made for my in-game team in Platinum.

Empoleon- Misuzu
Togekiss- Cootie
Gliscor-Robin
Frosslass- Princess
Gardevoir- Diva

Spectacular Hero July 22nd, 2009 11:59 AM

I mostly give simple names to my Pokemon or sometimes I give them a bit of a name that refer to the type like my Platinum team

Apollo/Monferno
Sparky/Luxio
Storm/Starvia
Cloud/Driftblum
Tails/Buizel

Code July 22nd, 2009 12:13 PM

My nicknames are often alternatives to their origional names.
Treeterror-Torterra
Huntkrow-Honchkrow
and so on...

cerulean15 July 22nd, 2009 12:16 PM

I named by Buizel Tails too!! xD of course I think its probably a popular name for the litte critter. I don't usually nickname my Pokemon, only the ones that I try to have in my final team. Most of their names usually have a meaning behind them or have to do with the type of pokemon they are like some of mine are:

Leader/Staraptor
Tails/Buizel
Sparkle/Pikachu
Sparky/Pikachu with Volt Tackle
Alterio/Umbreon (has something to do with night I forget...)
Helaku/Espeon (has something to do with day I think)
Dragon/Charizard
Ryu/Charmeleon (it means Dragon in Japanese ^_^)

And I have tons more...of course I ran into a person who named all their pokemon after food..really weird but funny

Poison Master Tox July 22nd, 2009 12:26 PM

That really depends on my mood...

When I began playing Pokémon, I used the name of a Pokémon and modified it slightly.

Mudkip/Kippi. It's now a lv 100 Swampert, so "Kippi" sounds ridiclous.

Wingull/Winda. It's now a lv 100 Pelipper, but I still like the name.

Spheal/SEAL. Yeah, that nickname sucks XD

My current names are usually nouns.

Charmander/Flare, for example.

Then I had a period with names that just sounded fitting.

Seviper/Seiwe
Zubat/Zede
Vileplum/Noe

And then the "all girl team" period...

Oddish/Miss Petal
Wingull/Queen Sea
Wingull/Lady Ocean

So it differs a lot xD

Pokedigi7 July 22nd, 2009 12:41 PM

i name all my bird pokemon Ace

Rosh July 22nd, 2009 12:43 PM

I don't really nickname but I do have one pokemon with a nickname, It is a Dragonite called Draco.

machinegun777 July 22nd, 2009 12:49 PM

I don't nickname my Pokemon

Ninetales1 July 23rd, 2009 12:46 AM

And now for even more of my Pokemon nicknames!

Well first of all, I mentioned in my last post that I have a bunch of Harry Potter-themed Pokemon nicknames. Right now, I'm also in the slow process of building a list of Lord of the Rings-themed nicknames as well. So far I have:
Sableye: Gollum (mentioned in my last post)
Registeel: Mithril
Ponyta: Shadowfax (will make more sense when he becomes a Rapidash)
Torterra: Bombadil (previously named Pangaia...)
Gabite: Moria
Charizard: Smaug (Actually, Smaug's from The Hobbit, but close enough...)
I'll add to this list once I start catching the legendaries... especially Giratina, Heatran, and the psychic trio, and maybe Dialga as well. I know exactly what to name them. ^_^

Other nicknames:

Cherubi: Jubilee
Monferno: Imp
Luxio: Electra
Gardevoir: Guinevere
Gallade: Arthur
Xatu: Shaman
Mightyena: Ohkami (Japanese for wolf)
Seviper: Slytherin (I guess I'm still working on the Harry Potter theme)
Floatzel: Weasley (Likewise)
Bronzor: Ferrum (Latin for iron)
Teddiursa: Princess (because the "Hime" part of its Japanese name means "princess")
Milotic: Dreamboat
Relicanth: Granny
Lanturn: Lumiere (French for light)
Hypno: Mesmeria
Vaporeon: Triton
Jolteon: Static
Flareon: Foxy
Espeon: Akamaru
Umbreon: Black Cat
Leafeon: Leif
Glaceon: Jackfrost
Rotom: Robomaster
Aipom: Dexter

chickengamer July 23rd, 2009 6:27 AM

i find when i am trading, pokemon with nicknames dont trade as well as one without
as alot of people like them to be UT, mainly on shinys, events, etc...
so i keep all mine without nicknames, as i think it ruins there value if at some point i want to trade them.
