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.

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 |
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...
|
The only kinda nickname I give to my Pokémon are just their names in lowercase letters, always keeping the first one Uppercase. |
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.
|
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;
|
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. |
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.
|
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. |
I didn't use to, but now I give any Pokemon I catch micknames. Hence my team of Pokemon.
|
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 don't nickname my Pokemon on many of my games, but I do on my GBC games.
Here are some exmaples / some of my faves... Blastoise: Seablaster Arcanine: Guardian Wigglytuff: Marshmello Mew: Embryo Kadabra: Psychaos Kangaskhan: Mothersday Meowth: Maneki Pidgeot: Mercury Articuno: December Dragonight: Knight Umbreon: Zyphlos Houndoom: Ceberus Murkrow: Krow Raikou: Ligerstorm |

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? |
