    A million apologies if this thread already exists. My eyes grow weary... ._.
    I'm not quite sure about you, but naming pokemon is very important to me. I've noticed alot of players I've battled haven't named their pokemon.

    I name alot of my Pokemons after mythology and the like Or other things. Artemesia, Hikoze and Legna are some of my names on my Pokes. I guess you could say naming my Pokemon is like a trademark thing.


    Do you name your pokemon?


    Why do\don't you name them?


    If you got some favourite names, share them! :3
     
    I always name my pokes :3 If i don't they feel generic and boring.
    I pick an anime and name my team after the characters in it.
    so far I have a Gundam team, a Code Geass team and a Lucky Star team.
     
    I name them after members of PC! X3. No, srsly, I have an Azelf called D_A, a Feraligator called Anti, A cherrim name Lightning, etc.
     
    I always name my pokemon, I usually have to think hard about it, but in the end i come up with a pretty good name

    they don't have any specific theme though o3o
     
    I normally name my Pokemon, either I give them original names or I name them after Manga characters such as Miroku from Inuyasha or Tsume from Wolf's Rain. I also give my names in a capital and then in lower case instead of the general all caps approach that normally seems to be used. I only name Pokemon that I use however, ones that go in the PC I just leave with their species name.
     
    Almost all of them are named. I name them because it makes them my own. The best names i have for one of my pokemon are
    :drumrolls:
    Sora the sandslash and riku the saybleye
     
    i have a Gardevoir i called Aether.
    kinda hard comming up with names though.

    Im gonna get a Gallade and call it Emblema
     
    I always nickname my pokemon it's just funnier for me. I nicknamed my Latias Taffy after a dog we had and I nicknamed my Latios Spock.
     
    I name most of 'em. My favorite is "Drebin", for my Feraligatr. Put that name and mine together, you get Frank Drebin. (From the Naked Gun series)

    I named Pikachu "Noodle." It started out as Chow Mein, but I thought Noodle sounded better.

    Pidgey "Luisa." Why? Because Fernando didn't work.

    Some Pokemon have okay names already, IMO. Krabby, looks like.... well, Krabby!
     
    I always nickname the Pokemon I use for battle! n.n I used to use a lot of Japanese names that just sounded good with the Pokemon (like Kurogane for an Umbreon) but recently I've been leaning more towards things that just make me think of the Pokemon or the type they are. For example I recently had a Typhlosion I named Jupiter... No particular reason behind it other than that it seemed to fit, and made me think of fire-types. 8D; I had a Probopass named Dorcus, which made me giggle xD; And soon I will have a Gallade named Lancelot! :D
     
    No, I don't name my Pokémon. I probably would if I went online, but since I only play offline, it's enough for me that they have their species name.
     
    I usually nickname my Pokemon that I use for contests. It feels weird having the only Pokemon without a nickname and its species' name is in all caps. I've nicknamed a Magcargo, Maggie. Maggie/Magcargo won the Master Rank of the Tough Contest in Platinum. I'm so proud of it. My Venonat, Vennie, won the Master Rank of the Smart Contest. My Milotic (who doesn't have a nickname because I got it from my Diamond version and did a new game) won the Master Rank of the Beauty contest in Platinum. I only give my Pokemon nicknames when I plan to use them in contests.
     
    I used to back in the days of RBY, but not anymore.

    I do have a quirk about challenge runs...I usually nickname the pokemon I use after their japanese name, and pokemon with the same name in both languages, I shorten, like Crobat becoming Crob. :P
