Sometimes I do. Depends on my mood ^^ but then usually if I don't name my starter I don't name anyone else in the whole game.. xD
 
I used to nickname my pokemon in R/B/Y. I remember that I used to nickname my Pidgeot Tweety and my Articuno was Icee. :P

I kinda grew out of it over time though. I may nickname them if I get bored once and awile.
 
Nope, I havent nicknamed any of my Pokemon for a long time.
 
I like giving nicknames.
Sometimes they're simple; (Poochy=Poochyena, Pipp=Pikachu)
Sometimes they're odd; (Devire for Sharpedo, Leonai for Salamence)
Sometimes they're cool; (Adamant= Nidoking {yea it's a nature} and Nova for Flareon)
I always name them unless I'm looking for something (held items)
Oh, I have the same problem, Banette's Haunting... It's so confusing!
(I usually go with Uppercase)

Well... that was informative. Not to be a critic or anything here, but I don't see how you get "further" by not nicknaming. Nicknames help me enjoy the game more, especially since I get the idea of "what is this Pokemon like?" As a fanfic author and reader (not to mention reviewer) I know that interesting characters bring things "to life" much better then plain old generic ones. My nicknames give my Pokemon personality, so it isn't just "Female Sceptile with docile nature and these attacks", it's "Sakura, kind, loving 'team mother', devoted to trainer, specializes in attacking this way". It makes the games more fun for me.
 
Of course I do! X3 Every Pokemon I've ever caught (except ones I trade) has a nickname, and the funny thing is, the names are all different! XP So...that means I've thought of over 200 different names. That's even starting to scare me...XP
 
I don't usually nickname my Pokemon.

But I nickname my babies because there's always at least two eggs at the day care and I like to tell them apart.
 
No I don't. I started a new game for a laugh once and I named all my pokemon stupid names and I even called the character "Retard". It was funny...for abit.
 
Yes I do. All of my Pokemon have names that have something to do with them. Whether it be a different language (I like to stick with ancient Greek, and with the Grecian Gods/Godesses), or an anagram of their name (Don't use that as often).
My sister always nicknames them too, she's a student in Japanese in her school, so she names them all with Japanese names.

I for one always have a list of names ready, so that when I catch a new Pokemon I can nickname it accordingly. My 'Notebook of Names'. One or two for every Pokemon.

I have one Sapphire completed with all nicknamed, one gold complete with all nicknamed, one silver (my favorite) with all nicknamed in completion, and Crystal completed and nicknamed, and Yellow completed and nicknamed. And not once have I ever repeated.
 
I always nickname them period! I'll sometimes even spend a long time thinking about perfect nicknames. I just can't stand not being able to name them, and it drives me crazy when their pokemon names are in all caps. I don't know why it bugs me...
 
Not a lot. :x Though I did name a whole team after Red's (PokeSpecial) Pokemon. >_>
