Yes I did Naruto names when I first got emerald then moved onto Dr Slump names then video game names and last time I reset I used super villain names. My friend had names of final fantasy character and terrorist names.

I've nicknamed my Dittos according to their IVs, because I use them for breeding. like i name one FLAWLS HP, and one other OUTSTNDATT. But othere than that I don't even bother with nicknames.

All the time because I was bored. It usually depended on the game, although I've done the following themes before:

- Elements. (First Red team)
- Card Captor Sakura Clow Cards. (Current Red team)
- Japanese names of human Pokemon characters. (Current Fire Red team)
- Japanese names of anime characters in general. (First Sapphire team)
- Stones. (Current Silver team)
- Herbs/Food. (Last Silver team)
- Gods/goddesses. (Current Crystal team)
- Colors. (First Silver team)
- Philosophers/writers. (Current Leaf Green team... although it's a challenge team involving a character I RP anyway, meaning I sort of have to.)

However, for Sapphire and Ruby, I've recently taken to just giving random names to my Pokemon. The main explanation is that I've just given up trying to come up with names that went in a pattern. That and Ruby is currently hosting a challenge team involving using James's Pokemon, so to be accurate, I decided not to give the Pokemon I used nicknames.

On my last play through Emerald, I did a Stargate SG-1 theme. Daniel Jackson was a male Gardevoir XD! Col. Mithchell, the last added to my team, was an Electrike.

Well on emerald, I gave French names to about half of them. Though some of them were just a bunch of French words combined.

Then on my Leaf Green team, I'm thinking about naming some of them after pokemon characters, lol. (Using the japanese names, because they suit pokemon better, and this way my sister won't tease me)

I did naruto names, but when i ran out i decided that nicknaming was stupid. so i renamed them all to their real names. I dont nickname anymore.

I always do. It depends on my mood, but Ive done all forms of mythology (celtic, aztec, egyptian, greek, etc.) and songs. Sons was fun, because it could have been a random word (seemingly) or an actual name (Kaya by Bob Marley). Ive also named them after rare gems and precious metals. I have fun with it. lol
