Did anyone get caught off guard when they had you choose nickname?
 
All 3 options was like.........WTF.
Took me 10 minutes to come up with my own nickname....../pain.
I totally didn't expect this.

Taemin May 21st, 2014 8:32 PM

Hahahah, nah I totally paused for a couple of seconds, and went "wow, this is new..". Was not expecting that from a Pokemon game.

Though, my nickname IRL is "Sho", as is my IGN, so I had them call me "Shota", and then proceeded to laugh every time they said it. Which.. I'm not expecting everyone to get the joke, but omg. I'm so mature. >_>

PSNGhost May 21st, 2014 8:37 PM

I just put in Anthony (my name) again. I hate nicknames.

machomuu May 21st, 2014 8:38 PM

Not the first time, but in my later playthrough I was playing with my middle name, Daniel.

Consider the nickname options. Let that sink in.

SnowpointQuincy May 21st, 2014 8:40 PM

My nick was suposed to be Space Cowboy....

I spelled COYboy... didn't realize the typo until post Elite Four.

Origin Green May 22nd, 2014 3:52 AM

J'Dizzle. If I can't be gangsta in real life ill be gangsta in pokemon!

Oblivion Wing May 22nd, 2014 4:45 AM

My ingame name is my IRL name, but i put Heisenberg as my nickname, like my Mii :-)

Judge Mandolore Shepard May 22nd, 2014 4:52 AM

I admit that I was bit surprised that I had to come up with a nickname for my character. It was the first time that a main series Pokemon game has done that. I used "Mando" as my character's nickname in X. By the way, the nickname I used in X, I have used for naming my character in other Pokemon games since "Mandolore" would not fit.

Hikamaru May 22nd, 2014 5:08 AM

My in-game nickname was "Nichy" because well, it's short for Nichole which is my real name plus some people here at PC have called me that occasionally. It'd be fitting as a tribute to those who called me Nichy.

Nah May 22nd, 2014 5:56 AM

Yeah, I was a bit caught off guard by the whole nickname thing. It's a nice little idea, just totally unexpected.

And I'm not the greatest at coming up with names for stuff. I can never stick with one it seem. Though I'm not as bad as Ashley and Minvera. Maybe my current one will be one I stick with for a long time? IDK, its tempting to change. We'll see what happens. So when they asked for a nickname, I was like "dammit, I gotta think up something else now?" (because the 3 default nicknames are crap).

The name I went with is Stella, and so after sitting there for about 5~10 minutes, I was like "screw it, I'm slapping -chan on the end of my name so I can start playing the game". So now they call me Stella-chan. It's not bad at all.

Arylett Charnoa May 22nd, 2014 6:34 AM

I suppose it was a little unexpected. Because most people wouldn't use their real names anyway when playing the game and just use a nickname/internet name/character name from what I know. But I have two nicknames of my username: Ary and Lett. The former I dislike to all hell, so I went with the latter. I was just Lett for the whole game and it was awesome 'cause I felt like I was on Skype again. :3

Scotash! May 22nd, 2014 6:44 AM

Took me a while, but eventually I just chose my name. Although, Lil S does sound cool.. haha!

I get it ;)

I paused the game for a while to think of this, actually. x3 I was definitely thrown off guard. I couldn't think of something cool so I just had them call me Lu-chan (my ingame name is Lucy, which isn't my real name).

acatfrommars May 22nd, 2014 5:55 PM

Haha no, not really. I came up with the nickname Lil Rico in like 5 seconds. It was the first thing that came to my head, it wasn't inappropriate, so I just submitted it.

GoGoJJTech May 22nd, 2014 6:02 PM

The names they suggested were Go and GooG O.o
Since my name is GoGo, I just put GooG el

LavenderTownGhost May 22nd, 2014 6:45 PM

Nah, because I had been watching Let's Plays. xD Though I'm sure I would've if I hadn't been. Mine was simple; "Lav".

Pepperton May 22nd, 2014 6:49 PM

I certainly was. I almost typed my name in again, because I thought it could just be an extra feature to add realism to the conversation in asking for the player's name. I was right, but not entirely. No reason not to like having a nickname, honestly. Didn't have any impact on the actual games, just a cool little add-on.

Kikaito plush May 23rd, 2014 6:30 AM

As I can remember I was shocked by this
"I already gave you my Name though"
after the shock went away I gave my charater "princess" as her nickname
as the other nicknames were boring.

praj.pran May 23rd, 2014 6:55 AM

I never keep nicknames because I forgot the pokemon names once I kept for tepig and I forgot it's real name I had to restart the game

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE May 24th, 2014 12:53 PM

Aww I didn't mind the nicknames they picked lol but I just ended up using the one I have in real life :) To be honest if I didn't already have one I'd probably have been completely stumped when it came to picking one in-game :)

Rivvon May 26th, 2014 5:01 PM

It definitely caught me off-guard! I just used my name again, which caused some odd dialog every so often ("Wait up, Niki! ...I mean, Niki"). I like being called by my own name in games with silent protagonists, so it was a little odd "picking a nickname" for me (I didn't want to be called "Niki-chan" by them, ha ha). I understand that this feature works much better in Japanese, but I still wish there was an option to not have nicknames.

stelstravsky May 26th, 2014 5:35 PM

I thought it was a pretty cute addition to the game, but I just went with Gracie (which is obviously a variant on Grace).

Yato May 26th, 2014 5:43 PM

It definitely surprised me because it was something completely new to Pokemon; however, it didn't take me long to come up with nicks because I already had nicks for the names I chose~ (None of them were silly or super creative, I'm sad to say.)

pryce10 May 26th, 2014 5:44 PM

since I named my character After Apollo Justice in Ace Attorney series... My nickname was Polly... Apollo's nickname according to Trucy.

Xebelleon May 26th, 2014 6:04 PM

When I called myself...

El Hero

...the nickname "E-kins" showed up. The nicknames they offer are terrible.
