Do you name your Pokémon?

[DestinyBender]

Subject says it all!

I hate naming my Pokémon.. if I did, I would end up with 'Piplup-y'.

Odd.
​

 

[Zodiac Realm]

nah i used to but i feel i like there original names better.

 

[mikey]

I don't like naming my pokemon, I don't know why, it's just weird to me. xD

 

[Fate Falls]

Definitely do. :) I think it's rather odd to have every Pokemon named the same. Not only that, but it's strange to name your Pokemon the same name as their species. It's like, "Hey, Rabbit/Deer/Mouse/Turtle/etc! I choose you!"

I always name my Pokemon. I feel it not only gives them an individual identity and makes them more unique from others of their species, but also strengthens the Pokemon and trainer bond. :]


My Pokemon's names are...

1. Flareon ♀ -- Cinder
2. Luxray ♂ -- Volt
3. Butterfree ♀ -- Bluebell
4. Swellow ♀ -- Alouette
5. Vaporeon ♀ -- Mist
6. Leafeon ♀ -- Ivy



Other Pokemon names I have are...

Charizard -- Scorch
Pidgeot -- Dart
Rapidash -- Dash
Raticate -- Bandit
Togekiss -- Zip
Gyarados -- Wrath
Pikachu -- Sparks

 

[Sasuke.]

Never. Ever. I hate nicknames. -_-;

 

[Miss Soupy]

Nope.
I just don't tend to do it. I mean, I don't mind if someone trades me a Pokemon with a nickname; but I usually catch a Pokemon, then button mash so I can get on with the game. I suppose it's just become habitual not to do it and I'm just lazy. D:

 

[Amulet Dream]

I also like to name my Pokemon. It helps me to remember which one I put in the PC so I don't have to look at the levels to find out if it's my battle Pokemon. =D

Because I can't be bothered trying to remember any of them, I'll just leave you with that.

 

[Corvus of the Black Night]

Of course I do. I usually name them after the djinn from Golden Sun, or something that pertains to whatever they're supposed to be.

I like naming my female murkrows Lucy though :3333

 

[Haza]

I usually come up with some pretty unique names so yeah, I always make it a point to nickname them. I love it. it makes them feel special to me. Its another way to personalize them you know.

 

[Umbrachu]

No, I don't. I agree with Fate Falls about it seeming weird that they're called by their species instead of individual names, but I've never named mine. Maybe I will someday, though. :)

 

[The Bringer!]

I agree with Haza on this one, nicknames are a great way to really personalize your pokemon. I always name mine =3

 

[HallwayKid]

I sometimes name my Pokemon but I always name my Shinx, Shaw. He evolves into a Luxio and is my main man throughout the rest of the game. Shaw Dude!

 

[PKFL_531]

I name my Pokemon, because to me, it gives them originality. It makes them stand out. If I had 5 Roselias, each with a special moveset for what they were supposed to do, I'd name them for what they were gonna be for. I also like to make things unique.

 

[Rainflower]

Yep. It's fun to give nicknames, and it makes my Pokemon sounds unique. :]

 

[SonicThrust]

I rarely name mine other than a few special exceptions.

 

[gigapoodle]

I only do it when I'm in the mood. And when I do, they're pretty unusual. Like, my Sapphire game;

Crobat --> Scyke
Swampert --> Kain
Cacturne --> Vidias
Claydol --> Kiev
Magneton --> Hext
Ninetales --> Arkani

Otherwise, when I'm not in the mood, I just KISS. Keep it simple, stupid.

 

[Droidz]

If i can think of a cool name for my pokemon i will but most of the time i don't like to.

 

[Cherrim]

I always name the Pokemon on my team (and I have since second gen) but I don't bother when I'm just catching wild Pokemon as fodder, to fill my pokedex, or whatever. I only name the Pokemon that are important to me.

 

[Oh The Places You'll Go.]

I've only done it in Platinum.
Not really into the idea.
But if you can get creative, I think it can be fun.

These are the only ones, ever, to have given a nickname...
Empoleon - Mizuru
Luxray - Secret
Lopunny - Karma
Driftblim - Hollow
Leafeon - Meldoy
Giratina - Silhouette

 

[Zeta Sukuna]

I do sometimes. However, if I get a member of the Pikachu family, I always name it Radion. Why? I don't know, but I do.
