I'm pretty sure Gyarados has the same name in English and Japanese...the Japanese name just has a silent "u" at the end...

I will just leave its name as Gyarados... I'm not too fond of giving nicknames... Nicknames make pokemon into pets... ><

Personally, a thread on nicknaming the Red Gyarados is too specific, really - especially when we already have a Red Gyarados discussion thread.

But given how much activity this got already, I've gone and edited it - now this is a thread for posting what nickname you wish to give to any Pokemon you get in HG/SS. We'll see how that goes.

Post away.

Xatu: Tarot (I will pronounce it Tara, because its a Female)
Granbull: Poncho (Male) (My first dog was a boxer by the same name, and oddly I can see it weraing one. =P)

Forrestress: Alloy (Male) (Metallic reference)

I now have the habit of nicknaming my Pokemon. My Totodile, my starter Pokemon, will have a Gaelic name of "Uisce". Most of the rest of my Pokemon will also have Gaelic names.

Some, on the other hand, will have names based on my favorite book series.

I do not nickname but if I did for Red Gyarados I'd probably chose a name like Flamed Up

I didn't nickname very many of my Pokemon back in Gold/Crystal, but I may do it this time around, like I did in Platinum (in which I nicknamed every single one of my party Pokemon, my starter included). These are the names I've been thinking of for my HeartGold team:

Cyndaquil (F) - Hinoa, a shortened form of its Japanese name. The name even sounds female.
Mareep (M) - Volts. This is the name I gave a Mareep in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2.
Bellsprout (M) - Leif. Based off the word "Leaf", of course.
Heracross (M) - Dura. Short for "durable".
Lapras (F) - Haven't decided on a name for this one yet...
Teddiursa (M) - Bailey. No explanation for this one except that I was going to use this name in an RPG once.

I may replace one of these with Eevee - especially if I can't evolve Bellsprout until Kanto. xD If so, it'll be a female Eevee named Eris. This is similar to the name I gave my Espeon in Platinum, Aris.

I'll be doing something similar in SoulSilver if I buy it. I'll be using the male character, and most likely starting with Totodile (M). If I do this, I'll be naming it Wanino, a shortened form of its Japanese name.

As for the Gyarados... it's unlikely I'll be training it, but I may give it a nickname anyway. How about... Pyro?

I don't usu. nickname my Pokémon because I have this weird thing about all of them having nicknames or having no nicknames at all. THERE CAN BE NO IN BETWEEN

although this go-around (if I ever get a DS) maybe I will try the all nicknames route for a change.

I'm thinking these:

Cyndaquil - Zee (I accidentally nicknamed my Cyndaquil Z in Silver Version.)

Krabby - Crawdaunt Knight

Scyther - Scykroth

Oddish - Symphony

Zubat - Tabaz

Onix - Rocky (assuming you can still do that in-game trade).

This is subject to change (even the team).

I give my Pokemon either random, badass or no nicknames. I also tend to name them after characters in comedy shows and movies.

I would name the Red Gyarados RedForeman or Chyzere.

My starter will be named Chancho, Dwight or something that comes to my mind that's even better.

How about Trench? Also for me would have to be Puffy for a Jigglypuff, Gaicho for Totodile and Shiguo for Caterpie.

Although it's not often that I nickname my Pokemon, when I do I give them human names. For example, I have a black cat named 'Phyllis'. So when I wanted an Umbreon, I named the Eevee that. I also gave her name to a Persian. Another example; William is my hamster. Thus, I named a Pikachu after him, since both are rodents.

I will nickname the ones in my main party, but for all others, I just name them if I feel like it.

My likely party:

Feraligatr - Bandicoot (I do like my crash games!
Ampharos - Teslax
Pidgeot - Pilot KFC (That's where it'll belong if it fails to win battles
Lapras - Nessy
Tyranitar - Godzilla (admit it! It's a big green godzilla!
Lugia - Poseidon
