Gonna send this over to Pokemon Gaming Central since their nickname thread JUST died.

Anyway I don't do it because I'm not really attached to the Pokemon in my games, lol.

These days the only Pokemon that I really nickname are those that are going to be on my team, with a few exceptions. I fun it to be one of the aspects that I enjoy in the Pokemon Games, and it makes the games more enjoyable for me. The names that I name my Pokemon really depend. Sometimes they're named after a character from a series, or a friend of mine, while other times they're just named after whatever I come up with at the time.

I nickname everything. It doesn't even matter if I never even look at the Pokemon again, boxed for life, I will nickname it. It's a fun thing to do, even though they're typically the worst possible nicknames or the most clichéd nicknames of all time.

My HM Slaves are usually something like an actual tool, like "Wrench" or "Hammer" or something. Sometimes, "Tool" if I'm feeling especially creative.

Haha I really only ever give nicknames to my team, early pokemon I catch or cool pokemon (ubers and pseudo-ubers.)
I love to have themes when playing a game.
Pokemon Black and White I had a Harry Potter theme so some that I can remember...

- Nagini (Serperior) - snakes.. pretty self explanatory :P

- Peter (Patrat) - Peter Petigew who can turn into rats

- Ron (Darmanitan) - Gingerrrrr (like me :P)

- Draco (Woobat) - Always found him very vampire like :l

- Hedwig (Unfezant) - Wrong bird I know but still T.T

- Grawp (Conkeldurr) - Grawp.. giant, very strong, ugly haha

Those were the best.. others weren't as good but still haha

I usually nickname my pokemon, but it's only when i can come with one. For example:

Infernape- Claw-Claw. He was my first pokemon and i had absolutely no idea that he would not be a Chimchar forever.

Leavanny- Scadle. I honestly don't know what i was thinking with this one. It probably had something to do with leaves or bugs or something.

Mienshao- Pansit. You know, the noodle dish.

I only nickname rarely. Sometimes in a new game i'll nickname my whole team but usually it's rare inspiration like or shinies like Joey for my Blue Ponyta (After Warhorse) or calling Blissey 'Nanna' because she looks after my team.

I only nickname my main team Pokemon, and they're mostly generic boy/girl names since I'm not that creative. But I like to think I'm still more creative than those who don't nickname at all :)

I'm bad enough coming up with names for my own character... if I had to come up with names for at least 6 critters, I think I'd have an aneurism or something! So, no, I don't nickname my Pokemon. It's a habit that I just never got into, unfortunately.

I don't generally nickname my monsters, but I do have two that are named:
Thunder, a Flygon Pal Parked from Sapphire, from a time I did name some, so I kept its name in homage.
Madotsuki, a Froslass named after the protagonist of Yume Nikki as a reference to the yuki-onna effect in that game, as Froslass is based on a yuki-onna. A highly obscure reference, really.

I also know my Jolteon as Dasada-kun, but he's not actually nicknamed in-game.

It's weird, because I used to HATE nicknames, and now I love them. I guess it started because of Black, when I imported it from Japan. I didn't like not always knowing which Pokémon it was talking about, so I changed their names to simple versions of their romanized names. From there I just started using nicknames; for White they had variations of their Japanese names, and in Black I used named of singers/bands/albums.

I always nickname my pokés, normally random names like Javafirato the Dragonite, Soledome the Jolteon, Landers the Crobat, Sonny the Gengar, Kawee the Blastoise, Gankem the Gyarados and so on so forth. I feel like not naming them or naming them something like "John" would be the same as calling your pet "Dog".

I nickname my Pokemon when I think of a name to give them, but I usually always tend to nickname them after my friends or online friends as a joke. The nickname I gave one of my Pokemon in Pokemon white was to my Oshawott and the name was "Osha--WHAT?!".

If I posted my nicknames here, I'd get banned because mine are based on sexual things.....

But I did nickname some Poke's with appropriate nicknames:

Big Beast -- Garchomp
Pika, Thunder, Bolt, Flash -- Pikachu
Beast -- Dragonite
Ding Dong -- Bronzong


I usually don't nickname though....however when I'm bored, I use nicknames for a battle with a friend.

I rarely nickname Pokemon. I'm usually content to just go with their species name, really. I like my Pokemon and all, I guess I'm just too lazy to nickname them all.
