Let's see, my Pokemon nicknames...

Arcanine- Schneider, after the orange-armored Liger Zero in Zoids. Liger Zero Schneider's signature move was also oddly similar to ExtremeSpeed.

Claydol- Pompeii, after the ancient ruins of the Roman city. They have actually found clay dolls in Pompeii, so...

Xatu- Chozo, after the psychokinetic bird aliens in Metroid.

Magnezone/Electrode- Voltech, a combination of "voltage" and "technology"

Tentacruel- Medusa, pretty straightforward.

Dusknoir- Eidolon, as "eidolon" is another word for a ghost.

Gliscor- Jaeger; after naming Arcanine Schneider, I wanted to have a Jaeger and Panzer on my team. Since my Gliscor was by no means a tank, I chose Jaeger.

Bronzong- Panzer, 'cause it's a tank.

Lugia- Ruhiel, after a purple-and-white Lightning Sky robo from the Custom Robo series.

Marowak (female)- GHOST. Do I need to explain this one?

Porygon-Z- uberhax.exe. Do I need to explain this one?

Metagross- Quadraxis, after the four-legged mech boss in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

I almost always give my pokemon nicknames, because It just seems boring to be like, "Go, Girafarig!" when it can be like, "Go, Melman!" (I named my girafarig melman once, it was hilarious!) ANyway, my team on Platinum is all nicknamed, I'll just tell you them:

Empoleon-Tsunami
Staraptor- Jet Plane
Rotom- DaCableGuy
Scizor- Freddy K.
Gardevoir- Elizabeth
Houndoom- Underdog
 
I NEVER nickname them.
1. I run out of names in the end.
2. It looks ugly with names there
3. ... Yeah.
 
I usually give nicknames depended on the pokemon's type e.g Voltz, Flare etc but eventually I run out of Ideas
 
I'm not creative enough to think of nicknames for pokemon sadly. There was probably 3 pokemon i nicknamed after like all the years ive been playing. I named my Aridos bugboy >.< I'm no way creative LOL
 
I sometimes give mine nicknames, usually based on type.
Blaziken-Flare
Swampert-Muddy
Empoleon-Flood
Venusaur-Leafy
Charizard-Draco
Torterra-Destoryer (yea I know, could'nt think of anything type related)

Lmao. I've only nicknamed my farfetch'd - masamune after a swordsmith.
 
I just started naming mine when I got Platinum and I like it, adds a nice personal touch. I kinda have generic names though.
Luxray:Sparky
Turtwig:Twiggy
Spiritomb: Tombstone
Porygon-Z: Cyber
 
I like to give nicknames to Pokémon sometimes I nickname them by the Jap names:P and I nickname them according to their names
Example:- Squirtle - Squirty
Pikachu - ChuChu
 
i have some funny names

lol
Regice-icer0ckzers
registeel-omg die
pikachu-pokemon(XD)
cheribi-n00b owned
garados-meep
lucario-=D
 
Even the ones I don't use.

I nickname ALL of my pokemon. Whether catching, breeding, or recieving from someone in-game, you can expect me to nickname them. Most of my nicknames contain references to historical or mythical figures, or shout outs to modern media. In addition, I go out of my way to breed a pokemon that fits a particular character in my fanfic, simply for the fun of it.
A few nicknames for pokemon that are important to me:
Lucona- female Lucario.
Quote- male Tyranitar
Kirly- female Gardevoir
Spruce- male Sceptile
Starlight- male Glaceon
Broiler- Female Camerupt
Sasha- Female Magmortar
Corona- Female Togekiss
Miz Dread- female Misdreavus
Galahad- male Gallade
Neoluna- male Espeon
Solana- female Flareon
And that's not even the start of it all!
 
I once had a Piplup and I nicknamed it Pippy, because that is what I call Piplup sometimes. xD

~Bliss :)
 
OK, first off, I never used to give nicknames. But ever since I got into the monotype challenges, I've been giving them nicknames. So:

I always name myself "Dan!!!!"
I always name my rival "Nipples"

As for Pokemon, it varies. I usually come up with weird nicknames for some random thing I think, or it's loosely related to the Pokemon. Like:
Chimchar = Copper?!?! (I was thinking of BrassMonky, but thought, hey? Y not Copper? And my brother said Copper?!?!, so yea)
Machoke = Reference? (I was debating to reference my other two Machokes (Cartoons!! from Hoenn or Different! from Kanto) but decided not to.
As for Cartoons!! and Different!, Cartoons!!, when I caught it, I had said Oh Yeah!, making me remember "Oh Yeah! Cartoons!", so I decided to go with the later instead of Oh Yeah!. As for Different!, At the time of that Machop's capture, I then had a team of:
Mankey
Mankey
MACHOP (Different!)
Mankey
Mankey
Mankey
............
Poliwag = HomagesSuk (In this case, making sure not to make an homage to Swirly, my Poliwag from Kanto)
Mankey = DarwinSux (Monkey, Darwin, related?)
Any bird I catch to be a Fly Slave = Fly Slave? (In Kanto, I didn't know if I was allowed to have a Fly Slave, so I caught it and put a ? because I wasn't sure, but it has stuck)
For any cut slave = Cut Slave? (See above)
Hitmonchan = StingLikeQ (Sting Like a B? No, he stings like a Q.)
Hitmonchan = UWontBATop (He was NOT going to be a stupid frickin Hitmontop)
Meditite/Heracross = Finally!!! (Different stories here. Meditie, I had to wait (in Hoenn) until VICTORY ROAD to get it. Heracross...I spent A WHOLE FRICKIN HOUR HEADBUTTING THE WRONG TREES. If you headbutt below Ecruteak, good luck finding one, cause you won't. I went East of Ecruteak, headbutted 4 times, and got it.)
Slowpoke = I R MEME?! (lolz)
All Magikarps = Crap (Because they are. It's almost in the name!!)
Articuno = DelibirdSr (It's seriously just an over-hyped Delibird)
Kyogre = PidgeyFood (It's sooooo weak, it's Pidgey food)
Blaziken = Chic N Stu (Chicken Pokemon? Famous SoaD song? Oh yes. :]
 
I'm currently naming my male Pokemon after Hetalia characters (and a few females), and my female Pokemon after Touhou characters. With some exceptions--such as my Bidoof, Blockhead.

Female Blaziken = Flandre?
 
Sometimes I accidently catch a pokemon in the safari zone that I already have and I click yes to nickname it by accident so I just type in random things. :) One time in Pokemon Pearl my dad accidently pressed the A button, and it caught a Hoot-Hoot and I nicknamed it Dadcatchit. xD
