    • I almost always nickname my Pokemon, except for the Legendaries. I don't know, I've never felt right about renaming a Legendary creature. But all of my regular Pokemon get a nickname.

    I suppose it's just that if I were actually training these Pokemon and tossing them out of Pokeballs, I'd feel a little strange shouting "GO! BULBASAUR!" as though Bulbasaur was its name. It'd be like someone tossing me out of a ball and shouting "GO! HUMAN!" Bulbasaur is the Pokemon's species, not its personal name. In my opinion.

    oh, yeah i agree. i don't think i've ever named a legendary, it feels weird. they're huge god monsters, they're too mighty for pathetic human names!

    I always nickname my Pokémon after their Japanese names. Of course, it all depends on what I'm going to evolve them to.

    If I have a Bulbasaur, that I want to be an Ivysaur and not a Venusaur, I'm going to name it Fushigiso instead of Fushigibana.

    • If I do nickname, I make sure I nickname all 6 pokemon I have with me, and its all based off of a theme.

    Some themes I've done:

    Star Wars- that's right, I nicknamed all of my Pokemon after Jedi or Sith. I compared the Pokemon's color to the color of a lightsaber blade, which is how I nicknamed. (e.g. my Gyarados was Obi Wan).

    Green Day- I once named all of my Pokemon after Green Day songs. I used Holiday, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, American Idiot, etc.

    Action Movie Stars- My current team is nicknamed with the last names of actors who appear frequently in action movies. Examples are Chan, Li, and Cruise.

    • I have a Ralts that I am going to transfer to Platinum
    (once I get it) and I named it AvantGarde.
    I got the idea from the Gardevoir I have.
    Hence the "Garde" in Gardevoir.
    I thought the Pokeman had a
    "experimental" fashion.

    Spoiler:


    Other Pokemon I nicknamed:

    Ralts - Waltz (as in the dance)
    Miltank - BigMac ( "McDonalds" "Big Mac")
    Infernape - Monchichi (Monchhichis)
    Gallade - Gallium (Gallium)
    Honchkrow - Scarlet (From "Gone With The Wind", as a refference to the main character)
    Drowzwee - Dreamt (The only English word that ends in "-mt")

    • I've actually nicknamed my whole Saphire team this time around.

    Kicky the Blaziken
    Ovechkin the Sableye
    Lemieux the Walrien (yes I like hockey)
    Pointy the Gardevoir
    Boop the Raichu
    Parn the Flygon

    I've found that I like them a lot more then when I didn't nickname my team in Ruby and Emerald.

    Totodile = BITEMASTER
    Geodude = ROCKMASTER
    Pidgey = WINGMASTER
    Butterfree = SUCKMASTER

    • That for me would depend on what pokemon it was. If my pokemon were a fire type I would name it something in that area if you know what I mean (example: Charizard would be named Blaze).
