What nicknames do you give to your pokemon

[msdmario]

No, I don't like giving out nicknames. I'm not good at thinking up good nicknames for Pokemon and I am also not good at remembering names either so I don't bother with them. :P

 

[altaria221]

when i am doing monotype challenges, i nickname my entire team, but other than that i really don't do it

DO you nickname your pokemon?

do you nickname your pokemon? if so how do you decide your nicknames?

 

[bit.trip void]

I do. Generally something Japanese. ;). In Pearl, say, I got a Piplup named Shugo, a Shinx called Rena, and a Gible called Sakura. ;D

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

I nickname the shiny pokemon I capture. I don't intentionally go looking for them, which is the reason for nicknaming them.

 

[Giraffes? Giraffes!]

Mostly i just nickname shiny pokemon as well. Or i name pokemon i use in battles which generally have terrible nicknames.

 

[Camisado]

I nickname the Pokémon on my main team, because after a while it gets quite straining to think of names for everything I catch.

I try not to use generic names, or Japanese names, because man are they overused xD;

My favourite team member of the moment is my Gastrodon, named Excalibur 8D

 

[processr]

I never used to, as I could never be bothered to think of any decent names. xD; With my most recent playthrough of Platinum, however, I made the effort with nicknames.

 

[*Nayz*]

on occasion. sometimes I'll decide to name everything I catch but most of the time I just leave them as is.

 

[Limey-chan]

Sometimes, though it's not very often and I haven't for a while. Generally, i'm not great at choosing decent nicknames so I avoid it completely.

 

[Zach.Is.Me.]

For the most part I don't. My Jolteon is always Joltee and Pikachu is always Ka-Chu, even though I usually don't bother much with Pikachu after the water gym.

 

[TwiLite]

I only tend to nickname the Pokemon in my party or if i encounter something rare. Also when i nickname i use something simple - Espeon: Esper.

 

[Alec_]

Well yeah, Sometimes i always give a nickname but if the nickname doesn't fit. Then no! xD.

I gave my Pokemon nicknames, e.g. my Umbreon Moonlight and my Gyarados Leviator, but sometime you don't know what nicknames you should give the Pokemon, and in my opinion, either every Pokemon in team should have a nickname or none. Anyway, my favourite nickname was Serenety for Togekiss because it's a wonderful name and remembers to his ability Serene Grace.

 

[machinegun777]

I've never nicknamed my Pokemon before.

 

[KnilShadowLink]

I usually don't, but on my play through on Platinum I bred a Pichu w/Volt Tackle and NNed him Sparky (Yes is was after Ritche's Pikachu)

 

[Kazukii]

No, I don't nickname them ;) It's just annoying to me.

 

[Ayselipera]

I only nickname my pokemon when I'm extremely bored.
I just nickname them on whatever I feel like they look like.
Anyways I haven't nicknamed any of my pokemon since
when I first got Sapphire which was years ago.

 

[kingofjokers]

no i just sometimes nickname them if im going to trade them so my friend cant change it and be stuck with it
