What will you call your Pokemon when you get them, including particular ones, like your Starter, or the Red Gyarados?

I'll probably nickname my Red Gyarados Taffy after a dog I use to have.

I'm not even too bothered about capturing it. If I do, I know I'll think of a good name at the time. I'm better at making up names on the spot than ages before. xD

Spoiler:
I think this thread should be about "will you nickname your Pokemon in HG/SS?" However, that is up to the thread creator/mod.


I think I would give Red Gyarados a cool Japanese name like Satoshi or Kasumi. :)

Nope. Nicknaming doesn't really interest me.

I usually nickname only the Pokémon I'm gonna keep in my party. I probably won't keep Red Gyarados, but I'll probably still nickname it something fitting, like Scarlet, maybe.

I'm not too fond of nicknaming any of my Pokemon. It'll be called GYARADOS because I'm not creative.

I don't usually nickname my pokemon...unless it's like CHARMANDER to Charmander or TURTWIG to Turtwig
(I don't like the capital letters, like my person's name is Ash not ASH)
So the redGyrados will probably be Gyarados

Probably. It'll almost surely sit in my box, though, like all the other ingame event type Pokemon. I don't know what to name it, though... maybe I'll stalk this topic for some good ideas :P

I'm not really one of those people who nicknames EVERY SINGLE pokemon they ever catch, but I do sometimes nickname them. I usually use Japanese nicknames. I don't think I'll nickname my Red Gyarados but if I do it will be a neat Japanese name, probably starting with "aka," since it's a RED Gyarados. :D

I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.

Nah.
I never nickname my pokemon.

I usually just named them their actual name, but in lowercase letters, aha.

Nahh, I'm just going to catch it and then throw it in the pc. Then after I get it that first time the next time I play I won't even bother catching it.

I will most likely name it after it's Japanese name. I plan to do that with all my Pokemon in SS.
