Sometimes i'll give them nice nicknames- Like nicknames that suit the Pokemon, or oterwise I'll give them stupid/witty names :]

Haza January 10th, 2009 2:19 PM

I named my Umbreon C a r d s. Im not sure why but I think it fits well.

AtomicoExploda January 10th, 2009 2:39 PM

No I don't name them, I just like them the way they are.

Vernikova January 10th, 2009 2:44 PM

I don't give my pokémon nicknames that often. I'm actually trying to stop giving them nicknames.

[Jr] January 10th, 2009 2:55 PM

~Kavin~ January 10th, 2009 2:57 PM

I nicknamed my Glaceon Glay-kun and my porygon2 pory2. Oh and my jolteon Voltaria since she's a female :D

Black Ice January 10th, 2009 2:58 PM

I only decapitalize names (ex: MACHAMP -> Machamp) of Pokemon that I use for Battle Tower or whatever, although I once did rename my Salamence "Oshit he" so that every time it did a move the text would show "oshit he used Dragon Claw!" or something like that. Only once, though.

that's pretty awesome! Kudos to that!

I love your Eevee evolution names good job! :D

Peanut_Butters January 11th, 2009 12:13 PM

I give all my Pokemon nicknames,even the ones I get just to trade.
I find it un-fair that they should be called by their species name. How would you like if everyone called you "Human"?
..Though,according to the Mystery Dungeon species,they call themselves by their species name.

I shall now write all the nicknames for my current Pokemon :)
Pokemon species - gender - nickname(level)

Spoiler:


Vigoroth - Male - Allie (25)
Linoone - Female - Ziggy(72)
Rattata - Female - Dusty(20)
Raichu - Female - PikaPi(22)
Eevee - Male - Elliot(24)
Pachirisu - Male - PachiPa(39)
Pidgeot - Female - Coco(55)
Flareon - Male - Lillac (35)
Persain - Male - Pearl(36)
Skitty - Male - Max(46)
Lucario - Male - Leo(44)
Pupitar - Female - Pupitar (trade..: 49)
Lopunny - Male - Samson(50)
Buneary - Female - Clarissa(10)
Buneary - Male - Yuri(10)
Buneary - Male - Madison(10)
Buneary - Male - Zoey(19)
Mightyena - Female - Droopy-tan(23)
Wooper - Female - Stalker(24)
Sharpedo - Female - Wolverine(35)
Magikarp - Female - Joey(56)
Gyarados - Female - Marigold(21)
Lapras - Female - Alexander(47)
Empoleon - Female - Lucky(78)
Murkrow - Female - Hinata(37)
Wailord - Female - JamBear(40)
Skitty - Male - Skater(40)
Marowak - Female - May(31)
Haunter - Female - Fluffers(25)
Gardevoir - Male - Mac(40)
Gallade - Male - Zack(30)
Ralts - Male - Nickles(25)
Ditto - Genderless- Rose(60)
Rayquaza - Genderless - Moonlight(100)
Espeon - Male - Lillia(35)
Cranidos - Male - Jelly-Bug(22)
Tropius - Male - Scooby(27)
Growlithe - Male - Olive(31)
Aronith - Male - Ally(29)


:) I don't name my Pokemon after their species name.
I get this odd feeling to name them name,they just pop up in my head,and I name them that.
Sometimes,I name them a name because of their nature/personality or because of the way they act before they battle(Like Clarrisa,she used 3 Defense Curls and 1 Endure).

...
....I have so many Pokemon I need to train.

Ayano Hana January 11th, 2009 12:17 PM

I hardly ever give my Pokemon names. It just doesn't seem necessary to me.

Colossal January 11th, 2009 1:09 PM

I name my Bidoof and Zigzagoon HM Slave XD
Anyway, I (now) nickname all my Pokemon for no reason XD
Here's some:
Empoleon: Pingu
Staraptor: Star
Roserade: Rosie
Alakazam: Magic
Sableye: Gem
Blaziken: Blaze
Kecleon: Leon
Manaphy: Aqua
Catarpie: Dialga
and more. :)

I'll never know why people nickname Pokemon that,it's such a cruel name.
I wouldn't call her a HM slave,but my starter Piplup(who's now an Empoleon)has 3 HM's :(

EagleVision1999 January 13th, 2009 2:19 PM

Somehow I really like it to give them nicknames^^
Blissey: Jessie (guess why^^)
Empoleon: Kuu (because of another anime-chara)
Chimecho: Lisyan (the name of its pre-evolution...but I like that name)
Rapidash: Saphir (the german word for sapphire...I know it doesn't fit fire since it's blue...but still I like it)
Psyduck: Enton (the german word for Psyduck...since my game is in english, I guess this counts as a nickname)
Luxray: Flash (kind boring...still nice in my opinion)
Palkia: Giovanni (dunno why)
Golbat: Moody (this guy from Harry Potter, Alastor Moody)
Raichu: Pika-kun (...)
Clefairy: Cutie
Cleffa: cuddle
Leafeon: Kojirou

Be sure to name one after me!

Shinningkit January 15th, 2009 6:38 AM

I always nickname my pokemon. Every single one. ^^ Though, sometimes I can't think of anything, and make an excuse to name them something that seems irrelevant. xD

I like nicknames. It makes me feel like I'm special and that my team has its own personality. x3

I will... though your name is a tad long, what kind of Pokemon do you want to be?

evilishan January 15th, 2009 8:27 PM

I wish my Ds worked, waiting for R4
Infernape - Fiery
Gyarados -Grrr
Gyarados - Dragon
Luxray -Zapp
Combee - Bzzz (look it's onomatopoeia )

moments. January 16th, 2009 1:27 AM

Generally I take 3 or 4 consecutive letters in their name and use that.
Examples:
Shroomish = Mish
Torchic = Chi

But I called my Electrike 'Eninac' in Ruby which is Canine backwards.
