Do you value nicknames?
Since the Pokemon games came out, we had the ability to nickname our catches,
giving them a more personal feel. What is your take on nicknames? Does the nickname feature make you feel more attached to your pokemon, which are really just data, or do you find it childish and unecessary? Personally, I've lost zeal for it, I usually nickname my two best Pokemon with something generic like "Blaze" or "Slash", unless it's a special occasion like a Nuzlocke Challenge. |
I only do nicknames if I feel like it. I always use nicknames when I'm doing a challenge.
|
I'll nickname my Pokemon if I feel the need to,though I usually end up with 1-2 nicknamed pokemon and the rest of my party just has species names.If the urge strikes me to nickname my entire party I most generally have a theme I.E Characters from Movies,Books,Video Games or Mythology.
|
Always. It makes me feel closer to them and less like they're mindless drones.
|
I name everything and I love all my names. Like Pants the shiny Arbok. She's great. :D
|
I hardly ever nickname my Pokemon to be honest, only once in awhile.
|
I rather like nicknames, they make me more attached to my Pokemon.
|
I used to nickname all of my Pokémon when I first got Ruby. I've since stopped doing that, but when I decided to open my old file again and just look at my Pokémon, guess what I found? A Rhyhorn with the nickname "Horny". I was like WTF IS THIS??? I can't believe I seriously named it that. Oh gosh. xD

I have never liked giving my pokemon nicknames and i don't think i will ever give one a nickname.

@all the horny people.
I used to give any Pokemon I recruited on Mystery Dungeon, and never got around to using, some childish name or a random scramble of letters. One day I was looking through the Chimecho Assembly, and found some Pokemon like "Stinkyguy the Phanphy", "Abcdelfoop" the Regigigas, etc. I found a Rhyhorn as well and my eyes widened when I found it's nick to be "Horny". A few moments later, I realized it was named "Honry" and that I spelt it wrong, I lol'd for about an hour. |
I nickname all of my Pokemon, though many of them are generic or uninspired. I'm pretty sure I've had a Rhyhorn named Horny myself back in the day.
|
You will find nicknames really rare on my games. I believe the last nickname I gave my pokemon was to an Electrike. I named it Bluerike because it was my first shiny pokemon and I felt that it deserves a nick name :D
|
I don't value nicknames as much because I don't nickname my Pokemon. I might nickname them when I get B/W.

i really like nicknames but alot of times i cant think of anything good to name them so i wait. the only one i really like is my pidgeot named saljane
|
I like nicknames, but I don't find myself giving nicknames much. :/
|
I love nicknames, but I lack originality and the ability to give good ones, so I just don't even bother.
|
I always want to nickname my pokemon, but I have trouble thinking of good names.
I used to have a Ralts named kyle. |
i dont care much for nicknames. I keep them the name they have, or if their names suck, then i just put the name of them in another language.
|
Nicknames make me feel 'closer' to my Pokemon, I love it ^__^
|
I only nickname my in-game team and online battling team.
I don't really like nicknames much |
I generally do nickname my Pokemon, I prefer that more personal touch it adds to my game. Sometimes they relate to the species/type e.g. "Marsha" the female Feraligatr (I thought I was clever) or other times they 're just completely random, e.g. "Mabs" the female Clefable. o_o
|
Um, I have a Ryperor called Horny girl, she has horns and she is a girl so therefore is she a horny girl =p. I used to name my Poemon after the girls I had a crush on =p
