These are probably the nicknames that stick out the most for me:
Aegislash -- Heathcliff -- Sword Art Online reference.
Raichu -- Jun Masuda -- Was a reference to Junichi when he said "I'm having so much fun touching Pikachu."
Malamar -- Calamari :3 -- Self-explanatory.
Alakazam -- Confucius -- Should be self-explanatory.
Noivern -- Yui -- Another SAO reference.
Yveltal -- Yvonne -- Felt like it and seemed fitting.
Gyarados -- Fluffykins -- This was too funny to pass up.
Clefable -- Fat Princess -- Reference to the game.
Kangaskhan -- Krystal -- Seemed fitting.

If I'm going to use the Pokémon, I always give some kinda nickname :3

Zigzagoon - Pointy
Ralts (Female) - Serena, (Male) Darien (Sailor Moon Reference)
Roselia - FleurDeMort
Skiddo - BlytheDanner (Honestly have no idea why, saw it, first name that came to mind)
Pancham - Wumpkins
Scraggy - Jame Gumb (Silence of the Lambs, for obvious, woman-skin-suit reasons!)
Espurr (Male) - Sugarpickles (Female) Twinkleflips (I laught just thinking about those names appearing in battle!)

Ah, another namer. I just pick whatever is on TV/my brain. That explains a lot of Pokemon with either names of places, or food. :D

Let's see what I named my team first time I played through X:
Chesnaught - Chipper
Crobat - Ninjabat
Haxorus - Beelzebub
Houndoom - Firespawn
Lapras - Valencia
Klefki - Ringer

How original, except with Lapras I would say. I keep meaning to give nicknames to my "competitive" Pokémon, but I haven't really gotten around to except maybe one or two (an Azumarill named Marriland, to name one).

For my first playthrough, I beat the elite four with...

Delphox ♀: Rusé
Furfrou ♂: Doge
Sylveon ♀: Lovely
Quagsire ♀: Miss Jelly (she was shiny)
Aurorus ♀: Wanderlust
Noivern ♀: Cuppycake (I don't even know)

I used a few others and I played through a second time, but I don't have my 3DS with me so I can't check the ones I can't remember u.u

I've only nicknamed one of my members, I nicknamed Skiddo, Juneau.
And that was only because I didn't like the original name Gogoat, usually I like the original name more.

I did nickname one Pokemon on Black 2 but didn't use on my team I renamed Purloin, Purrity.

I've always nicknamed my Pokemon, and within the last few years I've put a lot of thought into my nicknames. I've spent an hour going through baby name websites and my own baby name book, looking for names that have a meaning relevant to the Pokemon.

Right now, some of my Pokemon's nicknames are:

  • Greninja♀ - Brooke (couldn't find another female water name I liked)
  • Charizard♂ (X) - Knucker (a dragon name)
  • Charizard♂ (Y) - Keegan ("little flame")
  • Pidgeot♂ - Mach-2 (the speed Pirgeot can fly at)
  • Tyrantrum♂ - Cretaceous (the t-rex was from the cretaceous period)
  • Scizor♀ - Metalic
  • Braxian♀ - Seraphina (a fire name)
  • Greninja♂ - Rogue (based on the starter RPG-theme theory)
  • Serperior♂ - Silvester (the plant, not the cat)
  • Samurott♂ - Trenton (a water name)
  • Lucario♂ - Gideon (a warrior name)
  • Aggron♂ - Haubrek (a piece of armor)
  • Noivern♂ - Decibel

Some of them came over from my Gen 5 games, thanks to Pokemon Bank, but these are a handful of the nicknames I have on my X version.

As a shiny hunter, I usually just beat the game and then hunt for shinies :D.

I just name my team pretty generic things, like I named my Gogoat "NatureMilk" and I named my Greninja "NinjaFrog".

I rarely bother with nicknames, but I've decided to use them in my current playthrough of X. My favourite so far is my Blastoise called Cannondorf :P

I always make sure that the Pokemon I finish the game with are nicknamed, so here is what I ended up with for my in-game team:

  • Greninja♀ - Echo
  • Charizard♂ - Igneel
  • Lucario♂ - Levi
  • Aegislash♀ - Lydia
  • Hawlucha♀ - Medli
  • Shiny Dragalge♀ - Fortuna
Other nicknamed Pokemon I used earlier in my playthrough include a male Spritzee named Valentine (for amassing Horde battles), a female Tyrunt named Regina, a Fletchinder named Rocket, and a Pikachu named Raiden.
