I always give Nicknames to my Pokemon as it individualises them, and In Diamond all my nicknames end in '-oid.'

Examples:
Torterra- Turtoid (Turtle & Oid)
Roselia- Petoid (Petal & Oid)
Abomasnow- Snovoid (Snover & Oid)
Vileplume- Plantoid (Plant & Oid)
Tropius- Tropicoid (Tropical & Oid)
Ludilicolo- Tadoid (Lotad & Oid)
Cacturne- Spikoid (Spike & Oid)
Cherrim- Cherroid (Cherry & Oid)
etc.

I have a thing for the grass types.
 
Lol my friend always named his Pokies something related to them and i played his game for a while when he was at band camp. Here they are:

Muk: Sludgey
Arcanine: Blazeron
Raichu: Taxi
Victreebell: Bell
Blastoise: Aquapump
Alakazam: Albert
Mewtwo: Psychs
Raticate: Chompers
Moltres: Pyromaniac
Dragonite: Godnillawafer (and yes that was to long for the text box but we stilled called him that)
 
I usually just give them the decapitalized version of their fully evolved form.
i.e. CHARMANDER would be given Charizard as a name.
(it wasn't a hard concept but I wanted to explain it anyway)

In my Fire challenge for Pearl I hatched all the non-Sinnoh fire starters and switched their names around:
Charizard is named Typhlosion
Typhlosion -> Blaziken
Blaziken -> Infernape
Infernape -> Charizard.

And In my DuoSpecies Challenge I named:
My Lotad---Cocoa Rain
My Abra----Nilla Snow

For the team that I'm slowly training for wi-fi I have so far:
Skywalker----------Lucario (Luke Skywalker)
RAWR---------------Garchomp
MC Hammer-------Blissey


Just some random names:
Bruce-------------My shiny Bronzong (Bruce Banner is the Hulk)
Jimbafatso------Most Snorlax/Hariyama I catch (From Ed, Edd, n Eddy)
Tyrella------------Tyranitar from Colosseum (It was a girl)
Ag Bullet--------Skarmory (Ag is silver...yeah it's nerdy)
Ugly Baby-------Milotic (creative...I know)
 
I always give a nickname to all of my pokemon. Because then they're special, they're not just some random pokemon, it's MY pokemon.
:3
 
i like to stick with the names they were originally givin it just feels better
 
I named my Gardevoir Helena! Because she's so beautiful! (If you know Greek myths you know why I named her Helena...)
Kyogre-Seashore
Dialga-Dragonhead
Roselia with mind reader-RoseReader
Groudon-EarthShake
Mewtwo-Anti-Mew
Torterra-Terrapin(SUPER MARIO RPG LOL!!!)
Gliscor-Batman
 
Sometimes I give my Pokemon nicknames that sound like their original names:
Bastiodon: Bastion
Cradily: Dilan (i'm particularly proud of this lol don't know why)
Lucario: Luca

Although some of them are competely random, i mean, wtf, i called my Cranidos, Larry! XD
 
I give nicknames to those where I find it's a good nickname for them.

Starly: Starlight
Turtwig: Turk
Bellsprout: Bellend
Weepingbell: Weepingballs
Victrebell: Victrebollocks
 
I like to give pokemon nicknames..
I started a pokemon ruby game recently [Duo Species Challenge]
And I named my
Wingull --- Latios. Lol.

Alakazam --- PSYCHO

Gardevoir --- PSY-FI.


:D
 
I never nickname my Pokémon. Dunno why, though, it just doesn't feel right.
 
I feel that certain Pokemon are screaming for nicknames.
Or it could be because I just don't like the name period.
I nickname probably 7% of my Pokemon.
Afterall, they are my sweeties, something has to separate them from the rest of those darn trainers you battle every day.
Here are a few I can wiggle out of my head for the moment.
Empoleon ~ Mizuru
Luxray ~ Lust
Driftloon ~ Hollow
Lopunny ~ Caramel or Karma (switching between the two.)
Leafeon ~ Leafia​

I only like names with a meaning. I'm not fond of the names people give their Pokemon, like something funny or unreasonable. Or something just wrong. But its their business. >.>
 
I usually do nickname my Pokémon, but sometimes I don't... it all depends to be honest ^^;

I always named my pokémon since when I first started playing. The only time I wont name my pokémon is when they are legendary, but sometimes I do name my legendaries.

Belle or Bella, my Gardevoir (NOT because of the "Twilight" series, but because the names mean "beautiful")
Lovetta, my Meganium
Lucy, my Chansey
Scarlett, my Vulpix
Metroid, my Beldum
Puddin, my Arcanine
Luna-Mizu, my Lapras
Victoria, my Absol
Ada Lyn, Ballet, Brink, Dolly, Lola Lovey, Mod, Nadine Lae, and Serina, my female Eevees

(In Pearl)
Exy, my Meowth (I went to a website that had a chat thing and "Exy" was an username and I just fell inlove with the name)
Windee, my Pidgeot (my first caught pokémon ever was a pidgy and I always named them something that had "wind" in the name)
Pimp Ruto, my Empoleon
Madeusa, my Mitlotic
Skipper, my Swampert
Fabio, my Turtwig
Ciro, my Espeon
Meany, my Gyarados
Jinx, my Alakazam
Xal Vador, my Luxray

Sorry if that is a long list. I hope that someone finds them okay and what not.
 
Here is my main team

Absol- Cahos
Scisor- DScythe
Gardevoir-Gravity
Snorlax- RedM&M
Altaria- Bluesky
Charizard- Inferno
 
The only one I ever really nicknamed was my Piplup. I called it Happyfoot, because the movie Happy Feet came out when I got it.
 
I usually name them the first thing that comes to mind. I just got a female Charmander on LeafGreen and decided to name her Jessie. Then I got a Pidgey and named her Cedar. But the worst and most random names of all are my Emerald names.

Lara Croft/ Blaziken
Car Wax/ Alakazam
SolidSnake/ Metagross
SuperIgloo/ Aggron
McFlurry/ Walrein
Dinner/ Shelgon

The all time worst name I came up with was Horny the Rhyhorn. I was in 6th grade and didn't know what it was until my friends told me...it wasn't fun. It was a girl too...and I still have her, but she's a Rhydon named Conifer now.
