    Hi, I've started a new game on my Fire Red, and I never used to nickname Pokemon. But then I got to thinking that it might be fun. So I want to know who recommends nicknaming.
     
    Nicknaming is a way to express your feelings to your Pokemon (or Bad feelings :\) I always nickname my Pokemon but not cool names Example:

    Pokemon: Monferno
    Nickname: Blaze

    Lol thats not thinking outside the box is it?
     
    It's quite fun. You can give them normal, funny, ironic nickanames...oh, the fun! lol...your choice though
     
    i desided to nickname all my pokemon in FR:

    Wartortle (F) Misty
    Pikachu (M) Surge
    Nidorino (M) Koga
    Growlith (M) Blaine
    Onix (M) Brock
    Kadabra (F) Sabrina
     
    Yes, I love giving my pokemon nicknames and I reccomend it. I especially love to do it with level 100 nicely-EV-trained-with-a-good-moveset Shinies. But I'm not oh-so original. My gastly is Violet. I mean, Violet?
     
    I like to give my pokemon unique, and human names.

    Milotic- Dillahunt
    Claydol-Eddy
    Garchomp- WTF?SHARK
     
    Breloom=VEC JR.
    rotom=VEC III
     
    i only nick name pokemon if its from an egg like the time the travelar gave me an egg i walked for like an hour and a hapiny came out i was soo disapointed that i nicknamed him "clown head"
     
    When i started to play a nicknamed the pokémons, then i stopped to nickname them. One day i continued to nickname (=P).
    I ever thinks a lot when i am going to choose a name, how they are my children (=P again).
    When i will have my DS with D/P i will nickname my piplup Happy Feet.

    I totally reccommend nicknaming. They give your pokemon a sense of originality.

    I've always named my pokemon usually a human name starting with the first letter of their name (Ashleigh the Absol), an item or move that represents them best (Crater the Golem, Slash the Sandslash) or a Japanese Name (Suki the Pikachu).
     
    I never ever do that. I think it's mainly because it keeps the same Nickname even when it evolves, when normally the name would change to the new Pokemon's name. Anyway, I don't like doing it, and I never do it ;)
     
    I usually knickname my pokemon something really special. Like when I have a water pokemon I intend to keep in my party I name him Leviathan after the water beast leviathan. Also when I have a flying pokemon that I want to keep in my party I name him Harbinger for some reason.

    I usually knickname my pokemon when I am in a very good mood. When I have writer's block or am in a bad mood I keep their names. I would recommend naming your pokemon when your in a very good mood since good names will come naturally
     
    yea i usually nickname my pokemon! it's fun, sometimes i don't though when i can't find a fitting name....some of mine i nickname their species name but in another language too (i did that with my crobat, Nostenfur but i forgot if it was french or german....)
     
    I'd say go for nicknaming. I nickname just about every Pokemon I catch because its fun and shows your love for it. (Name Rater speech) Sometimes though, I just name Pokemon by what they are or their type. Sometimes even as I view them.
    Nicknaming is really just a fundamental though.
     
    I try to nickname Pokemon when I can, but I always end up struggling to think of one and leaving it as it is.
     
    It's fun to name Pokemon, but usualy I only name my starter. I named my femal Torchic Tiki. Cute?
