Do You Nickname your Pokemon?

[Angel-of-Light-Kelly]

I nickname every Pokémon, unless I don't plan on keeping them, like it's for a trade or something. I will not say that most of the names are creative, as sometimes I either nickname them a shorter version of their name, or it might just be a Pokémon named Bob XD.

Yes and no.
I'll usually nickname my initial team for a region's first exploration.
Every playthrough after that in that region I'll usually not bother =P

Casual playthrough: No. Learns the Pokemon's name easier. One (postgame) exception: two Pokemon of the same species with different builds...sometimes. Owns Armarouge (Tera: Fire) and Armarose (Tera: Psychic), for example. Should do this with the Avaluggs, Iron Moths, and Cacturnes, come to think of it.

Challenge playthrough: Yes. Follows a theme to keep naming easy. Wastes too much time coming up with names otherwise.

Yes, it adds personality and it's fun coming up with clever nicknames for my new team members.

I Always do it so it just makes the Pokemon feel like it's personal instead of being some random Pokemon like all the others(although my names aren't that original lmao)

I mean, ¿why wouldn't you do that? It's obligatory for someone like me because i want to have personality while fighting in a battle. I always give my pokes nicknames which go with the type they are like Blastwater or Shockline

Do you nickname your Pokemon? I tend to go by a nicknaming theme, so yes, lmfao, I nickname most of my Pokemon, unless I won't ever use it.

Yeah, I do. but when I play a new rom hack or fan game with new fakemon I tend to not name them due to me trying to learn the name of that fakemon.
