    Earlier on in the main series games, before gen V, Pokémon names (and character + move in even older games) were in CAPS. Did this bother you? Was anyone else like me as a kid and changed them to be lowercase? If you nicknamed any mons in those games, did you keep the nickname in CAPS too?
     
    made sense to me in the GBC era where the fonts were pretty pixelated and it sorta helped with readability. but keeping it up until the DS era? pretty weird at that point.

    i will say though, it was a lot faster to nickname pokemon when i didn't have to switch to the lowercase keyboard after the first letter.
     
    yeah, for gens 1 and 2 I def understand more, but it was so strange in DPPt. especially since move and human names weren't all caps at that point.

    I tried to nickname my mons in Proper Casing in the older gens too, but the inconsistency for my nicknamed mons + the fodder I caught for HMs and the like which I didn't nickname bothered me too much so I stopped. :(

    What i do is when i catch a pokemon i want to use in the game, its name is lowercase i.e Sawk, but a pokemon i catch for the dex is in caps, i.e THROH.

    Yeah, this is what I did for a long time too 👍 Until I got lazy altogether and just stopped haha D:
     
    when i was a kid i nicknamed my pokemon in all caps. so you can tell which pokemon are my oldest based on that ahaha. i did change a lot of them though, before trading to my copy of emerald where they all reside, but there's still a few all caps in there from various ruby and colosseum playthroughs. i saw a friend nickname his pokemon w lowercase when i was like 13/14 so i've been doing that ever since in all games.
     
    bothered the hell out of me because i felt like i had to capitalise my character name as well and i didn't like that lol

    thank goodness that's changed
     
    I stick to what the game does. If it capitalizes the names, I capitalize the names. If it doesn't, I don't.

    A minor pet peeve I have with ROM hacks from old generations is when the hack designer decides to change that part. Capitalization was made for readability, afteral.
     
    I name them normally regardless. I don't ever get bothered by it and only thought of it today when I read this post.
     
    It definitely bothered me a ton as a kid and I'd literally go and nickname a Pokémon its species name in all lowercase even if it was just HM or Dex fodder just because it bothered me so much.
     
    Is it just me or I'm I the only one who nicknamed my Pokémon all lowercase regardless of the game?
