Same, I always nickname my pokemon.

For me I tend to base from weather

Salamence (Hurricane)
Garchomp (Jetstream)
Skarmory (Clearsky)
Tyranitar (Erosion)

So I usually go to an online weather dictionary and pick a name that would fit nicely, If I run out, I may get them from common saying or may even name them my friends online.

But most of the time, it's pure randomness.

I give my nickames to my Pokèmon randomly.

Take Skarmory, for example, he turned into Capriollè.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

I hate giving them nicknames, especially on older games, like Pokemon Yellow. Makes it very hard to find out which one you want. Newer ones like FR or LG makes it easier with the little icon though. Still don't like to give nicknames though. I only catch 1 of each kind of Pokemon so I have no need.

I love nicknaming every pokemon I catch but nowadays, I only nickname my team and shinies. Most have the first letter of its final form or sometimes its baby form and they consist of a lot of random subjects from flowers to mythology to gemstones.. =D

I like giving nicknames to my Pokemon. Not sure why, I just do. The only exception ish that I don't nickname my legendaries.

Most of my ideas for nicknames come from animes that I've watched, and Japanese/Russian words that I know =D

I usually name most of my Pokemon... specially my Starter <3

I can't stand not having somthing from a trade nicknamed >.>
It makes it seem so... bleh D=

I remember naming my Pikachuu in yellow "Paprika" for no apparent reason xDD
and the Origin for "Torchy" and "Torcher" came from ... maybe a Torch's flame? (This was for Torchic {Now, my Blaziken})
Pyro, My Infernape, I remember very clearly. I named it "Pyro" because 'Pyro' meant fire (I think), and Chimchar/Monferno/Infernape was a fire-type =3
"Charlie" came from a fic I read... I thought it was good, so I used it for my Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard, just like the person in the fic did o_O

Uhh. I use to nickname pokemon but they were common names that you'd see everywhere, so I don't really care for those.

I did start nicknaming my pokemon in PMD again, though, because in a pokemon society like that... I really doubt that all call each other by their species name.

I hate if if they're not named.

Ummm...some are just people names, some come off the Pokemon's name. And some I make up...such as three of these female Swampert: Tamerille, Awearille, and Mahrerille.

I'd like to see you pronounce them correctly. Heh.
