    My Electivire was named "ElectObama" for a while, it sparked chuckles for many of my matches over wifi.
    My Drifblim's named "Spiritdaway" After the Miyazaki movie
    My Metagross is named "Shinkansen" after the Bullet Train, because it has Bullet Punch(yeah, bad joke)

    I usually name all my competitive pokemon, but those were the best I could think of on the top of my head.

    • These are some of my more recent ones:
    Fushimaru
    Glimaru
    Battoko
    Kameko
    Youma-dono

    I now have a tendency to end the names with -maru if it's a male, -ko if it's a female, or random suffixes if it has no gender... Don't ask me why. >.>

    I also like to name some of them after random internet memes, anime characters, or just silly things in general. Some of my favorites are:
    Chi-chi-chia
    Excalibur
    Sassypants
    Twinkletoes
    Cuban Pete
    ORLY?
    Nyoro~n
    IAmABanana

    • On Pearl, I'm naming every Pokemon depending on the first letter in their name:
    Bob the Bidoof
    Sean the Shinx
    Etc.
    I thought it would be funny, and it is XD

    • I give my Pokemon names that reflect deeper meaning, like my Gardevoir and Gallade- "Zenith" and "Nadir" respectively. This reflects the serene nature of the Gardevoir (Zenith- the paragon of good) and the somewhat more aggressive nature of the Gallade (Nadir- the paragon of evil/dark). Sort of like Yin and Yang. What's important in a nickname is that they mean something to you personally, it reflects your preferences and opinions, and it shouldn't matter if nobody else understands them.

    Plus, they sound cool in a Double Battle. :P

    • I used to give mine nicknames all the time, but since I started Platinum, I haven't bothered.

    However, in my Fire Red version, I let my friends nickname all my Pokemon. My boyfriend named my Caterpie "Catercake." (: It's level 100 now hahaha.

    I always name my Pokemon after American presidents. Sometimes the type actually determines what president I name it after (Kennedy the Pidgeot being a reference to the Kennedy Airport), while others are completely random (Roosevelt the Furret).

    I like to nickname my pokemon all one name and that name is Taffy after a dog we had. To me it seems to fit with any pokemon as long as the pokemon is genderless or female yeah I know I'm odd like that.
