  • These are probably the nicknames that stick out the most for me:
    Aegislash -- Heathcliff -- Sword Art Online reference.
    Raichu -- Jun Masuda -- Was a reference to Junichi when he said "I'm having so much fun touching Pikachu."
    Malamar -- Calamari :3 -- Self-explanatory.
    Alakazam -- Confucius -- Should be self-explanatory.
    Noivern -- Yui -- Another SAO reference.
    Yveltal -- Yvonne -- Felt like it and seemed fitting.
    Gyarados -- Fluffykins -- This was too funny to pass up.
    Clefable -- Fat Princess -- Reference to the game.
    Kangaskhan -- Krystal -- Seemed fitting.

    If I'm going to use the Pokémon, I always give some kinda nickname :3

    Zigzagoon - Pointy
    Ralts (Female) - Serena, (Male) Darien (Sailor Moon Reference)
    Roselia - FleurDeMort
    Skiddo - BlytheDanner (Honestly have no idea why, saw it, first name that came to mind)
    Pancham - Wumpkins
    Scraggy - Jame Gumb (Silence of the Lambs, for obvious, woman-skin-suit reasons!)
    Espurr (Male) - Sugarpickles (Female) Twinkleflips (I laught just thinking about those names appearing in battle!)

  • Let's see what I named my team first time I played through X:
    Chesnaught - Chipper
    Crobat - Ninjabat
    Haxorus - Beelzebub
    Houndoom - Firespawn
    Lapras - Valencia
    Klefki - Ringer

    How original, except with Lapras I would say. I keep meaning to give nicknames to my "competitive" Pokémon, but I haven't really gotten around to except maybe one or two (an Azumarill named Marriland, to name one).

    I've only nicknamed one of my members, I nicknamed Skiddo, Juneau.
    And that was only because I didn't like the original name Gogoat, usually I like the original name more.

    I did nickname one Pokemon on Black 2 but didn't use on my team I renamed Purloin, Purrity.

  • I've always nicknamed my Pokemon, and within the last few years I've put a lot of thought into my nicknames. I've spent an hour going through baby name websites and my own baby name book, looking for names that have a meaning relevant to the Pokemon.

    Right now, some of my Pokemon's nicknames are:

    • Greninja♀ - Brooke (couldn't find another female water name I liked)
    • Charizard♂ (X) - Knucker (a dragon name)
    • Charizard♂ (Y) - Keegan ("little flame")
    • Pidgeot♂ - Mach-2 (the speed Pirgeot can fly at)
    • Tyrantrum♂ - Cretaceous (the t-rex was from the cretaceous period)
    • Scizor♀ - Metalic
    • Braxian♀ - Seraphina (a fire name)
    • Greninja♂ - Rogue (based on the starter RPG-theme theory)
    • Serperior♂ - Silvester (the plant, not the cat)
    • Samurott♂ - Trenton (a water name)
    • Lucario♂ - Gideon (a warrior name)
    • Aggron♂ - Haubrek (a piece of armor)
    • Noivern♂ - Decibel

    Some of them came over from my Gen 5 games, thanks to Pokemon Bank, but these are a handful of the nicknames I have on my X version.

  • As a shiny hunter, I usually just beat the game and then hunt for shinies :D.

    I just name my team pretty generic things, like I named my Gogoat "NatureMilk" and I named my Greninja "NinjaFrog".

    I rarely bother with nicknames, but I've decided to use them in my current playthrough of X. My favourite so far is my Blastoise called Cannondorf :P

    I always make sure that the Pokemon I finish the game with are nicknamed, so here is what I ended up with for my in-game team:

    • Greninja♀ - Echo
    • Charizard♂ - Igneel
    • Lucario♂ - Levi
    • Aegislash♀ - Lydia
    • Hawlucha♀ - Medli
    • Shiny Dragalge♀ - Fortuna
    Other nicknamed Pokemon I used earlier in my playthrough include a male Spritzee named Valentine (for amassing Horde battles), a female Tyrunt named Regina, a Fletchinder named Rocket, and a Pikachu named Raiden.
