Nicknames?

I don't nickname anyone because it ruins the point. I like to keep it at the normal name.
 
I've nicknamed one or two Pokémon in the past, usually on Silver.

I tend to avoid nicknames altogether because I suck at them. I either come up with something unoriginal and terrible that's worse than it's normal name or I name it something a little *too* flamboyant and end up getting confused/forgetting who's who.
 
lol where do i start? well all my pokemon nicknames are made with me knowing what all the final evolution looks like, or having a good idea what their abilities are.

hah some of em are more humorous nicknames than cool nicknames, like a tiny little Aron called "Tank", or Rayquaza "Vertigo" because of its attack "Outrage", and oddish "MJ" too.

Mmm, I've nicknamed a few Pokemon before. Don't do it anymore though. The ones I remember are:

Azumarill : Rilla
Beautifly : Bibie
Goldeen : Greg (I traded it for a Rayquaza later)
Magikarp : Maggie (Eww)
Staravia : Starstreak
Grotle : Leafcrest
 
I don't usually give mine nicknames...I just decapitalize the names.
 
I will say The funny ones

Big Bear/Ursaring
Scarface/Raticate
MONKEYTYME/Snorlax
and my favorite...........

Shaam WoW/Dunspare

off topic:
I would like to post a Rate my Team. Where?
 
I would name a Pokémon if it is dear to me or after a hard training. I wouldn't name an insignificant Bidoof or Magikarp for just capturing it. >=O
 
I give only my legendary pokemon a nickname like groudy for groudon
and other stupid things xD
 
The first time a played pokemon blue, i nicknamed all my pokemon, by the time i reached Blaine, i realized that that was a bad thing, in my box, it took me forever to find my pokemon, i just do it occasionally now, I have Zero(Swampert), Victor(Skarmary) and Iro(Scizor).
 
I don't like nicknames...I don't give nicknames to my pokemons.
