Pokémon Do you give nicknames to your Pokemon?

[AkatsukiYoshi]

Not really. There are very few pokemon I would give a nickname too. I call Luxray by the name of Shadow, Shiny Execidrill(spelling) with the name Knuckles, and a Shiny Dragonite with the name Yoshi. I'm very bad with names and most of the time I think nicknaming them is pointless.

 

[DoctorGallifrey]

I plan on catching a Serviper and calling it Orochi. That will be the ONLY pokemon that I'll ever nickname

 

[Vinathi]

Started nicknaming them since Black 2. I usually name them something that first comes to mind, even if it's super stupid lol

 

[leenaby]

Yes, I gave a water related nickname to my Mudkip. ^^ It's also the same meaning as another name and is a nickname of somebody from one of my favorite groups, so that's cool too. ^^

 

[Piroshi]

I ALWAYS nickname them unless I'm not going to keep them. I usually just name them after characters that remind me of the pokemon, but sometimes I get more creative than that. I never accept traded pokemon unless they have a nickname either. I don't even care what the name is, I just hate having pokemon without nicknames.

 

[Ayaya]

I usually nickname every pokemon I caught except the ones that only for filling my pokedex.

 

[Toeto]

I always nickname the Pokemon that I will use, and the competitive pokemon that I bred myself.

 

[Sanaki]

I never used to before Omega Ruby. I named my Torchic Keira and my Ice fang Poochyena Pax lol

 

[Chris]

Yes, I do. I just try to keep in mind that they're going to evolve so not to pick a name that won't suit their final evolution.

 

[DarkOnyx]

Yes!^-^ Lapiz and Karot.<3

 

[Zii]

I'd like to nickname all of my Pokemon, but it's hard to come up with interesting ones on the fly that I haven't already used elsewhere. Maybe I should just switch back to real word nicknames. Hmm.

 

[MishMeesh]

I usually do when I first start the games, but after catching a dozen or so pokemon, I get too lazy to sit there for 3 minutes trying to come up with a nickname for each.

My female Grovyle's nickname in AS is Clover and I think that's super cute, I'm proud of myself for that one.

 

[ethre]

I don't normally name my Pokemon, but when I do, I name them "ehe butts."

 

[honeymoo]

Some runthroughs I will! I did in the Sinnoh on I did earlier this year, I didn't in X and I've been naming them in AS.

 

[Sidon]

I do. Believe it or not I even gave nicknames to ALL Pokemon I recruited in blue rescue team @-@ I never run out of names.

My team is
Skitty-Chi
Swampert - skippy
Absol-Linx
Latios-Lanos
Swablu-Tari

 

[Cam1]

I usually give them like general homan names based on their gender and the first letter of the final evolution

 

[Misuzurin]

Never. I hate receiving nicknamed pokemon in trades a great deal. Pikachu will always be Pikachu to me.

 

[shayminskyforme88]

I do sometimes. I named my Treecko, Tree, as a throwback to my first starter.

 

[ADanishMuffin]

No, I don't give them nicknames.

Well, I did try giving nicknames to my Pokemon in Pokemon X, but I gave them pretty stupid and lame names. I guess the reasoning behind me not giving nicknames is because I'm not creative enough to think of a good nickname. :/

I suppose giving nicknames would make the game more personal, but I doubt I can think of good nicknames for six different Pokemon.

 

[Dollie]

I used not to, but now I do. I usually give them cutesy nicknames.
