    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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

    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.
