I remember once, I called something and own, and another one and pwn, so when you sent them out...
Go! and own!
Heh heh heh

Well, when I feel the need arises. Like when I feel the Pokemon that I am EV training is special, but occasionally, NO.

And my pkmn was either called:

Chimchar - explotaro (named after Gold's cyndaquil)
Shinxs - zparktaro
buizel/floatzel - jetaro
Roselia - Pointaro
Starly - wingtaro

Though before that I did name them something else

Chimchar - zippo
Shinxs - sparky
Buizel - aqua
Roselia - point
Starly - U-turn

Weird aren't I

Ha, I watched Metabots too! It was awesome! Anyway...
I don't always nickname my pokemon but when I do, I feel its something significant. Like I had a budgie that I had to leave behind when I moved country. I miss the fella like heck. And so, every game I played, because Pidgey was my fav pokemon it was always the pokemon I caught second (after my starter) and it's a tradition I've kept to keep all my first caught Pidgeys in every game with my budgie's name. Always. I guess in a way, its a way of keeping my pet's memory alive.

i give all of my Pkmn nicknames, I mostly give them their Japanese names or shorter versions of the japanese name

:t354:TG

lilninjapig December 30th, 2008 6:50 PM

I don't really nickname them, but if I do, I'd probably use their Japanese Pokemon names. A lot of them sound cooler than their English counterparts...

World King December 30th, 2008 7:23 PM

The only kinda nickname I give to my Pokémon are just their names in lowercase letters, always keeping the first one Uppercase.

invisible-chan December 31st, 2008 3:32 AM

In the regular games, no nicknames. In Mystery Dungeon, a play on the Pokemon names, English or otherwise. It usually ends in a vowel sound.

¡No Hablo Inglés! December 31st, 2008 11:17 AM

Back in Gold and Silver I used to give my Pokémon whatever nickname popped into my head at the time. But in the more recent games I think the only Pokémon I nicknamed was a Barboach, which I called "Boachy". xD;

.:Kanto:. December 31st, 2008 11:29 AM

Yes, but rarely. If I had a Charmander as a starter, I'd call it Flare. If I had Bulbasaur I'd call it Bulba and if Squirtle, I just get rid of the caps and just call it Squirtle since I know it wont evolve anyway, likewise with Bulbasaur lol :P

I normally don't give my Pokémon nicknames.

When I do though, I normally give them German names like "Geist" for a Gastly/Haunter or "Krieger" for a Toxicroak. I think the most bizzare name I've ever given to a Pokémon was "Geschwindigkeit" for a Magnemite.

SparklingMistral January 1st, 2009 8:33 PM

I always nickname the Pokémon I'm actually going to keep. If I trade a Pokémon, then I'll only nickname it if the person asks. :)

I recently renamed my Shiny Gyrados Carnage and my Shiny Starmie Uranus. Gallade is Tekken and Medicham is Mannequin.

Mario The World Champion January 2nd, 2009 9:37 AM

I rarely give nicknames to my Pokemon.

However, on the rare occasion that I do, I tend to name my Pokemon after current and defunct Formula 1 teams.

Fim January 2nd, 2009 9:46 AM

I didn't use to, but now I give any Pokemon I catch micknames. Hence my team of Pokemon.

Michii January 2nd, 2009 9:51 AM

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;

Rabbit January 2nd, 2009 9:52 AM

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).

Gulpin January 2nd, 2009 1:06 PM

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

Fenrir Reki January 2nd, 2009 1:12 PM

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.

Azonic January 2nd, 2009 1:18 PM

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. :|

MasterFranny January 7th, 2009 3:34 PM

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

ozzy (piplup-current one)
electra (pikachu)
ozzy (charmander)
flamey (charmander)
