Trainer nicknames
In X and Y, we now have a feature where we can choose an in-game nickname to get referred to by the protagonists' rivals/friends throughout the game. While using our own names has existed since 1st Gen, this is a neat new feature that's quite fun I admit.
You have an option of choosing some preset nicknames or enter your own. So, what did you choose as your in-game nickname and why? In my case, I nicknamed myself "Nichy" since that's short for my real name, Nichole. |
I originally picked my just based on what they have as presets. After playing Animal Crossing New Leaf my residents named me Dr. L, and I kind of wish I would've picked that now lol. I like Nichy though, I've always liked the way that name flows lol

I'm terrible at coming up with names for just about anything. So when I started up Y, I just went with my standard default name of Stella. Then the game's like "pick a nickname!". I wasn't into the ones that Tierno, Trevor, and Shauna came up with, so I had to come up with one myself. And I was like: "Crap. I'm so bad with picking names, and now the game wants me to pick a nickname too? ....What to do? What to do?" Sat there for about 5 minutes, and was like "**** it, I'll just slap chan on the end of my name and be done with it." So now they call me Stella-chan.

I marathoned X the first time I played it, 26 hours almost straight (I had to eat eventually). After some sleep and a few days I restarted it and put my proper name (Jonathan) in as my trainer name and what people actually call me (Jon) as my nickname.
|
I hate coming up with trainer names. Thusly when they asked for a nickname I was all ajhsdjashdjsdajk I just spent half an hour thinking of a name and you want me to come up with another one? Since my IGN was Tomato Soup I just shortened the nickname to Soup.
|
I went with Lady J because it was the cutest of them all. Probably the nickname I'll be going with in later playthroughs, too!
|
My character's names are Lyndis and Astra so I went with Lyn(obviously) and Astra Sensei.
|
My nickname was Overlord. Couldn't think of anything clever so I just went with that.
|
I though the nickname would be a one time thing.
I still cry whenever Shauna calls me "Snoop-A-Loop." |
My nickname in XY is Blade. I've gotten so used to being called that, haha.
|
My IGn in x is cloude so I kinda went with the obvious easiest and most related choice and nicknamed him pro.oak
|
I nicknamed myself "Electra." Electra is the former princess of Argos according to myth, which is a city in Greece. Would've went along with my real name, "Ashley," but decided not to. d:
|
I chose Monster as my nickname, since it's been a real-life nickname for me since I was a baby >_>
|
I'm playing through my Y version in french and just picked one of the preset nicknames, "P'tit A".
In my X version my trainer name is Josie and I picked the nickname "Jo". |
I found that "Lil' L" sounded really fluid and since Shauna is just adorable I couldn't think of anything else at the moment. For some reason I like it x_x.
However, I kinda regret it now after reading this post. Stella-chan's idea made me jealous.. I missed the chance to entitle myself Luke-sama. How cool would that sound, I'd always laugh cause it would remind me of Jade from Tales of the Abyss. *restarts game* |
I went with my own, Bikki, because the other ones in my opinion where kinda silly
|
Well I named myself Joey, but for the nickname I have Agent J. Just thought I could be J from the Men in Black
|
I went with Al as an abbreviation of my trainer name, Allan. I'm horrible with nicknames and the default ones would've been way too embarrassing for me. Even "Al" was a little embarrassing for most of the game. It wasn't until the post-game and talking to Serena and the others again that I finally got used to it.
|
I went with Nath because that's what many of my friends and family call me.
|
idk if I already posted this, but in Y, I named myself Everlark and got the dumb kids to call me Eevee. Because I am an Eevee. Actually, I'm a Jolteon. But I was once an Eevee. Got in a mix up with a Thunder Stone, and here I am today.
|
I named myself Shaymie since it's a mix between my first name and my middle name. When the game asked me for a nickname, I just picked the first one that came up. If I knew that I would be called Lady S for the rest of the game, I would have picked my own. But I kind of like it.
|
My in-game name is my usual "wave," but the nickname I made them call me was "lord wave." I instantly regretted it, yet I also didn't regret it. Now, I'm not sure how I feel. >_<
|
Usually I just put stuff like "Unimportant" or "Individual". Sometimes I put "aafdgtdu" yeah I'm horrible at this :3
|
I had to restart as send Meg stone for lucario on to WT. Anyhow my nicknames is "Princess".
|
I had to choose the first option when selecting the nicknames
