    Well, just what the title says, I was curious if you use the Nickname feature in the Pokémon games, since I know a lot of people that just like giving them their original names.

    For me, I like giving them all unique names, I usually name them random stuff like 'Heiji' for Zubat and 'Frivi' for my Smoochum.
     
    Yes, I do use it every now and then. I'm usually too lazy to come up with a nickname though. <.< I wish I knew some Japanese so I could stick in random Japanese words in the nicknames.
     
    I use it sometimes. I use it on the Pokemon I plan to use in my final party. I usually pick a theme for names and stick to it. ^^ I like giving them names, it's quite amusing.

    If they're just Pokemon to fill the Pokedex, I usually don't bother. I'm not that creative. XD
     
    Yes, I do! ^^ But only for the pokemon I use in my party ^^ I mean, I can't imagine not doing it just like I can't imagine calling my cat "cat" or my dog "dog" o.O;
     
    I do see an adavantage to nicknaming pokemon. You can make your opponent think you're going to send out a weak poke, but then you send a poweful one instead. KAPOW!

    I also like to give my Pokemon nicknames based on what animal or element they come from. I also come up with some silly or cute sounding names. But could never come up with names for all of them.
     
    oo.. yes here are some exemples
    Swampert:waberwat2
    Swellow: apajendo
    Umbreon:defro
    Espion:Emec
    Future game(the penguin starter for diomend):i will use zuwica(girl) or zurico(boy).
    if you need a good nickname PM me.
    No i don't use the nickname feature i just find it sort of pointless
    Useless! it is fun and it personalise your favorite pokemon.
    note: i'm not the person who nicknames every pokemon i catch(like my sister.) i nickname the pokemon who i've been with so long. it is to show i love them(Waberwat2! NEVER leave me!) (waberwat2 used to be named waberwat. i added the 2 as a rewerd when reaching to lv.100)

    ...I used to use it...I actually nicknamed every single Pokemon in my party "Magikarp" just for the reaction on my opponent's face......but I don't use it anymore.


    ......Well, with a couple exceptions, heheheh...
