What nicknames are you giving your Pokemon!??

I'm going nicknameless again lol. I used to nickname mine since the ALLCAPS names bothered me, but since we don't have that anymore there's no need to worry. Might try giving my main team dessert/fruit-based names again.. but chances are it's a theme that won't stick. ;c Since I'd want to nickname everything I catch to match and that'll get tedious.

Or maybe.. hm.. I might try anyway. Themed nicknames actually sound very cute if I can keep up with it.

Peaches the Bewear sounds adorable haha



I'll definitely be nicknaming my Pokémon, but I normally don't plan them out in advance or have a set theme - I just go with whatever feels right at the time. Sometimes they're named after characters from books/movies/TV shows, sometimes they're puns, sometimes they're random names - I guess we'll just see how I'm feeling on the day!
 
During my first playthrough, I won't be using nicknames. I like to keep the species name so I can learn who all the new Pokemon are as I play through the story for the first time.

After that, I might use a Hawaiian-based naming theme, especially for a Nuzlocke. I don't know what theme to use in particular, but I'm sure I'll find one.
 
I don't think I'll nickname my Pokemon. I usually don't since I don't think I'm very good at nicknaming.....plus I spend AGES at the naming screen trying to think of something good and then I just get annoyed because it's taking so long.

The only time I nicknamed my Pokemon was when I played Pokemon Black (it wasn't the first gen 5 game I played, I started with White)

I think it was...

Serperior - "Sprout"
Scrafty - "Yesterday" (I really liked this name, it was a bit different)
Golurk - "L-B09" (Pronounced Elbow 9, I think I had this headcanon that it had other numbered siblings who were also "Elbows")
Gothitelle - "Willow" (Probably influenced by Willow from Buffy)
Stoutland - "Mac"
Galvantula - "Fritz"

So I'm not sure how good my naming skills are. :P

I guess I might start thinking about nicknames for Moon, though I only have two planned team members so far. (Rowlet & Drampa)

(Actually I think I nicknamed my Pokemon in ORAS too....)
 
I plan to name my future turtonator Tokka. I might name vikavolt after a transformer since it's somewhat robotic in appearance.
 
I know what my nicknames is going to be. Theme? Greek mythology :D

Popplio - Ariadne
A fire type - Hephaestus
Alolan Exeggutor - Dionysus
Alolan Ninetales - Aphrodite
Alolan Raichu - Perseus
And a Flying type pokemon - Aeolus

I just like the greek mythology much. Don't ask why so many Alolan pokemon. I just like them :P
 
All I know is I'm gonna have a female Ninetales named Shirayuki. Not sure about Raichu, Lurantis, and Rockruff yet :( I had a name for Rockruff buuuut I forgot haha.
 
All I can think of so far:

Rowlet: Gundham
Pikipek: Peko
Cutiefly: Hiyoko
Rockruff: Makoto
Lurantis: Junko

A lot of the Pokemon remind me of Danganronpa characters, especially Rockruff and Dartrix.
 
If I can nickname Ash-Greninja, he's going to be Sotishi. Litten will be known as Calamity. And I'm going to name Lediba after my girlfriend, because I call her "my little ladybug".

Don't look at me like that.
 
Some names:

Lurantis- Waifumon (Why am I like this)
Bewear- Monokuma (shrugs)
Turtonator- Bowser or Arnold (Schwarzenegger)
Alolan Muk- LSD or Skittles (get it? Taste the rainbow?)
Dartrix- Rich Kid
 
Thinking of,

Bewear: Cuddles
Kommo-o: Mo-o
Silvally: Silver

... In case you couldn't tell already, I like my Pokémon nicknames simple.
 
Updated:

Torracat: Flametail
Midnight Lycanroc: Kodiak
Salandit: Toxic
Alolan Ninetales: Glacia
Alolan Raichu: Pancake
Silvally: Alpha
Kommo-o: Ramses
Tsareena: Nicki Minaj
Mimikyu: Napstablook
Lunala: Artemis
Zygarde: Hades

I'll probably want to get the other two starters in trade:

Dartrix: Soren
Brionne: Ariel

Still deciding, especially since all the Pokemon haven't been revealed yet), but here's some ideas I have so far:

Rowlet (if Litten's final is the one from the leak) - Strix (Latin for Screech Owl), Archer (if the leaked final evolution is true), Soren or Ga'Hoole (from Guardians of Ga'Hoole), Doctor Hoot (because Doctor Who is awesome)
Litten - Brimstone (because of the alchemical marking), Tigerclaw, Brambleclaw,
Pikipek - Pearl
Type: Null/Sivally - Null, RKS, Alpha - I'm honestly not entirely sure what I want to nickname it, but all I know is I want one!
Mimkyuu - Pikaboo, Phantasma (Latin for spirit), Napstablook
Rockruff - Fell, Slavkaa, or Kar (a few of the moves from The Sight)
