Do you nickname your pokemon?

[Notworking15]

as far as i can recall,i used to name mine, but then stopped in fears of critisizim and uncoolness, but i digress...does anyone nickname their pokemon anymore? and how do you feel about it?

 

[Kristine]

Personally, I never nickname my Pokemon. I don't mind if I receive a Pokemon in a trade that has a nickname, as long as it's a decent name. :)

 

[Jessie]

Nah, I hardly ever nickname my Pokemon. Not really sure why. :)

 

[SIN1488]

I almost always do, i'm not sure why it's so fun. :P

Here's some examples:


Electabuzz: Volta
Teddiursa: Pedobear (lol)
Salamence female: Vikasaur (Vika is my favorite Russian or maybe Ukrainian name....)
Blissey: Ms. Chubbs
Alakazam: Wizard (Meh, it seems like a wizard)
Golem: Goliath


Ok i'm going on now..... XD

I don't give them nicknames just because I stink at coming up with names. I had a friend once though who named his onix "steelex" (I know how to spell steelix, that's just how he spelled it) he gave it to me and now he's just a steelix with it's name spelled wrong.

 

[Syked]

I was ABOUT to on my current file but I stopped because I thought of Ash for some reason and how he doesn't nickname and I didn't want to :)

 

[Season]

I only have two nicknamed Pokemon.
A Shellos named Shelby and a Mantyke named Mango.

if its like a duplicate pokemon i usually do but otherwise i like it to be known as its species.

 

[Ninetales433]

I used to nickname my Pokemon,but I stopped.

 

[~ShAdowWAlker~]

hmmm you know never really thought bout it, but no. ive never really named my pokes

 

[CensorFairy]

Nicknames are an essential for me. I love pun based names too much.
(Female Kricketot) Crickette, (Male and female Shellos, both forms ) Sheldon and Shelly, and (When he finally evolves) Windell The Chimecho.
Of course those are just the good ones, I have a lot of stinkers for nicknames.

 

[mondays suck]

I usually do nickname my Pokemon, but i'm not really the most creative person, so most of my nicknames are pretty stupid or obvious ones.

 

[URKNightmare]

I only nickname my main pokemon the one that i use the most but i guess im not that good at coming up with things on the spot

 

[Tox]

I nickname most of my Pokémon. I think it gives them some individuality. I used to name every single one I caught but I wouldn't mind getting a Pokémon without a nickname in a trade. Recently, I've stopped naming a few. If I catch something such as a Hoothoot just to fill up the Pokédex, I wouldn't name it anymore. It's just a waste of a name I could use for another Pokémon.

 

[Haruka of Hoenn]

I love coming up with nicknames :P I think it gives my Pokemon more of an... identity. I use names our of books, and names I hear in real life. It's actually quite fun. If a wild Pokemon is giving me trouble, I'll name it MR. FAIL or something hilarious like that.

 

[Lycaeus]

I nickname every single on of my Pokemon, regardless of whether or not I plan on using it. I think of it this way - would you call your dog, Dog?

 

[Heather]

I never do. I never can think of a decent name for one so I just leave their names as is.

 

[Bluberryfreak]

I name only the ones I don't plan on trading. Like my infernape is chim chim. my sceptile is Greenie (my sister named her.)and my charizard is char char.:cheeky:

 

[Poco Loco]

hellz yeah I always do :D

 

[Fenrir Reki]

I do sometimes but most of the time I just name them by their japanese name in english.
