3rd Gen Nicknaming Pokemon???

[Shadow Byte]

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.

 

[Shadowz]

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?

 

[Anti]

It's quite fun. You can give them normal, funny, ironic nickanames...oh, the fun! lol...your choice though

 

[Ivysaur]

Strangely, I never nickname them unless I have two pokes of the same species. :\

 

[spike6958]

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

 

[Pokemon Breeder Zoria]

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?

 

[TP-BigWill]

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"

 

[Leonardo Kabarudon]

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).

 

[Dyegov]

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 ;)

 

[Scales]

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

 

[oreobytes]

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....)

 

[oreo]

lol nice name oreobytes xD

 

[oreobytes]

lol nice name oreobytes xD

hahahaha! thanks oreo, lol!

 

[EmpoleMew]

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.

 

[Oni Link]

I try to nickname Pokemon when I can, but I always end up struggling to think of one and leaving it as it is.

 

[Gulpin]

It's fun to name Pokemon, but usualy I only name my starter. I named my femal Torchic Tiki. Cute?
