    Never really nickname, called my Clefable Twinkle, and my Magikarp EPIC!! once. I think nicknaming can be a waste of time.

    but it surprisingly helps with happiness ^_^ it helped me evolve my eevee by lv3 into a espeon (whesper)

  • I usually nickname my Pokemon. I always nickname my starter "Kira" and from then on it just depends on the Pokemon. I nicknamed my Gyarados Bruce Lee, which is another favorite nickname of mine.

    I never got into nicknaming pokemon as I saw no point in it until my friend convinced me that not naming a pokemon is like not naming a pet. "Dog, use bite! Fish, use splash!"

    Anywho, since then I've named every pokemon that I've put in my team... 7 of them. haha

    Sunny the Charizard
    Chopstix the Infernape
    Young G the Gyarados
    Aaron the Lucario
    Sweezy the Salamence
    Magnus the Metagross
    Prince the Kingdra

    I always have trouble nicknaming my Pokemon, or finding good nicknames... The only good nickname I think I've ever come up with was nicknaming my Raticate Bucktooth... because Buck is the name for a male rat.. and Raticate has Buck Teeth..

  • I nickname nearly everything. I usually nickname my pokemon after anime and games characters. (Naruto = Jolteon, Kisame = Sharpedo, etc.) Other times I'll just come up with something I like. (Mudkip = Kipper, Meganium = Chia, Zapdos = Dr. Thunder, etc.)

    I can't get myself to give nicknames to my Pokemon. It's like desecrating their real names D:
