    I'm not too sure if this is the correct place to put this, but does anybody else absolutely hate the fact that you can't rename traded Pokemon? I traded my low-level pokemon for a level 100 Umbreon thinking I got an amazing deal, to find out that it's name is something along the lines of somebody who enjoys homosexual activities. Great. :(
     
    Yeah i hate it i can't rename my migrated Pokemon
     
    Renaming Pokemon

    I totally agree. I have a few Pal Park Pokemon with pathetic names from when I was 7. I think you should be able to rename any Pokemon. But then, you could change your friend's Pokemon's name without permission and that would be a mess. Hmmm?

    Why dont you just change the nickname before you transfer them?
     
    As an example, if you adopted a child and didn't like its name would you call it pete?
    I think its to show pokemon get have already been given a name and wouldn't like a new one. They are a bit smarter than regular animals.
     
    I also hate not being able to nickname them. Zaussome, that's really unfortunate. nothing like that ever happened to me, but my friends who I trade with always give their pokes lame names like speedy and razor. and they always wanna get on with it and won't take the time to change the names.
     
    yeh, it just sucks you cant rename em.
    This way you got less choise with tradeing, since you dont want one with a real stupid name.
     
    Aww I think you're all over reacting. The fact that you can actually trade with people around the world makes up for the fact that you can't nickname the pokemon.
     
    No I think they're right. I'm damn sick of this nicknaming business. So what if you can change the name of your friend's Pokémon? They can change it back and if you're stupid enough to do that, you should be saying you're their friend! Also, if you migrate Pokémon then decide that Pokémon is fit for ev training or you just want to nickname them, there's no way to do it! You can't even trade it back to the GBA games making it worse than just trading on D/P with some loser who calls their Pokémon ridiculous names. Even then though, you should be able to trade and nickname! People, this is a GAME! Who cares about adopting children? Of course, that's real life but THIS IS A GAME! If you suddenly wanted to start calling your cat or dog Bob instead of Pete, who cares?! That's your decision and your problem! WE WANT NICKNAMING FOR EVERY POKéMON IN DIAMOND AND PEARL!
     
    It is idiotic.

    It is stupid how you cant nickname pokemon that werent even nicknamed by the perosn you got them from too.

    And it also means you cant nickname events at all which can really be annoying.

    Also, I say stuff the nickname rater in real life you could just nickname your pokemon without him too.

    Pal Parked pokemon really should be able to be nicknamed if anything.
     
    yeh, I am also annoyed. I have two level 100s with stupid nicknames which I can't edit :(
     
    I have an Azelf that I got from the GTS nicknamed "YOUR MOM". Such an immature act.
     
    :D well, i luv the japanese nicknames... even though i cant read them, i dnt care if its rude in jap... :D cuz i cant understand, and KanJi looks sXc :D
     
    Oops

    Youre right, the friend could just change the name back. It is really annoying you can't change the name of Wi-Fi recieved Pokemon because I have a Japanese Weavile and its SO annoying! You're all right. He he.:tired:
     
    I do think you should be able to rename traded Pokemon. I have had a few trades in the past where I wished I could rename a Pokemon. I don't know, I don't think it would be hard to implement. You can nickname and rename your own Pokemon, why not others?

    Even in previous games, you still could not change the nickname of a Pokémon received via trade. So it's not like the feature makes up for this inconvenience.

    Well, you're not likely to change your child's name even if he/she isn't adopted either.

    I HATE that silly rule. I nickname absolutely all my Pokemon, but when I get Pokemon in trades, they don't come with a nickname, so I'm stuck with the species name as the "nickname". Keeping a Pokemon with its species name as its nickname is a very strange concept to me...

    Not to mention the fact that a person could play a trick on someone by nicknaming their Pokemon really disgusting or offensive names before trading. Or if the person nicknames Kyogre Mew before trading it, you can't use that Kyogre in official battle competitions (you can't have nicknames that are other Pokemon's names) and are stuck because you can't change Kyogre's nickname.

    See why it's a stupid rule? In my opinion, trainers should be able to change the nickname of the traded Pokemon, but the nickname the original trainer gave it still is listed on its Summary. ("Original Nickname")
