I never nickname my Pokémon... I guess I don't get why it's fun or whatever, haha. Except for the Paras named "Hilton", couldn't resist that one. lolgetit?

My bf often gives his Pokémon silly names, though, and my friend once said that "just calling a Pokémon by its species name is like calling your friends "human". Go, human! Use fire blast!" much as I find that amusing, I still don't do nicknames. :P

If I have a Chikorita, I'll nickname it Silver as a GSC tribute. ;)

I ususally only name my team pokemon but lately I've been naming each pokemon I catch, though I take the easy route and name them after people at school.

My team for now:

Quilava - Vash
Politoed - Lily
Togetic - Danny
Scizor - Jake
Raichu - Jayden
Umbreon - Gavin

Me too. I suck at nicknames, and always end up changing them even when I do nickname.

Well, I've got names in mind for teams on both versions:

On HeartGold...
Typhlosion: Blazer (hard to come up with an original fire-based name, sadly)
Poliwrath: Walker (after the birth name of a certain famous boxer)
Victreebel: Inigo (after Inigo Montoya)
Magneton: Shockeye (a minor Doctor Who villain, plus it fits... electric/three eyes)
Sudowoodo: Twigley (I just like it)
Noctowl: Nite Owl (the Watchmen character)

On SoulSilver...
Actually, I'm planning on naming my team for all Gurren Lagann characters.
Feraligatr: Kamina
Aipom: Simon (probably a better-suited name for Beedrill, but oh well)
Sandslash: Viral
Farfetch'd: Kittan
Exeggutor: Lordgenome (it makes no sense but I don't care)
Ninetales: Yoko
(edit: also planning on naming any random catches going straight in the box for various characters as well. SoulSilver is basically going to be the "for fun" game while HeartGold will be the more serious playthrough.)

The only time I ever nickname my pokémon is to de-capitalize their names. Also, I will name them their final stage. Like, "SENTRET" to "Furret".

Caterpie will be Catercake and I will raise it to level 100 (oh, inside jokes...).

I'll probably name my starter Pokemon after my boyfriend, and then just have all my friends suggest random names for all my others. Last time I did it, they came up with interesting things...who names a Pokemon "Merwin"? Honestly haha.

Well I remember I had a name for the red Gyarados, which is different than the other name I use for regular ones, but I cant remember the name so it will probably be Leviathan or Jormungand since I haven't used that name yet.

The only Pokémon nickname I've come up with so far is for my starter, which is gonna be Cyndaquil. And I'm gonna nickname that Matchbox or something along those lines.

Heh, I rarely nickname my pokemon, except for HG/SS, and my latest playthrough of Platnium.

Here is the names I give my pokemon.

Starter: Steven (After the 3rd Gen champ.)
Golbat: Andrew (RP Character)
Bronzor (Is that it?): Christopher (First RP Character)
Eevee: Either Elisa or Kyle, whether it is a boy or girl (RP Characters)
Lucario: Either Esuine or Corosa (RPed as Esuine once, and Corosa is an RP character.)
Giratina: Satan (In my stories, Giratina is the devil, why not reflect that in my game file?)

That's my team for Platinum.

And if Chikorita is female, then I'll be naming her Flora, but I don't have any more specific names for anyone.

Hmhmmm... its hard thinking up names on the spot for my pokemon, I usually go get some inspiration first X3

He's some good names for some pokemon, although given time I'll probably think of better.

Cyndaquil: Cesar

Totodile: Seiryu

Chikorita: Megamania

... lame XD, I'll think of better ones some other time.
