Do you use nicknames?

[flamec80]

I was wondering, does anybody here nickname ALL of the Pokemon that they catch, or is it just me? Either way, if anybody does nickname their Pokemon, post some of them. Some of mine are: Muddy (Swampert), Splishy (Milotic, and I always nickname my favourite water Pokemon on a game Splishy. it started in my Pokemon Yellow.) Flaps (Swellow, same reason as before), and El Shroomo (Breloom, and please don't ask...).

 

[Volteon]

sometimes, just some of level 100 or to recognise one pokemon easier, like pickupper (linoone and meowth), burned (magcargo), healer (blissey and miltank), Volteon (guess what), Jira-Jira (Jirachi).

 

[MegaJunior]

I never nickname my pokemon, dont know why.
I never did it and I will never do.
But I like it to see pokemon from other people
who do have nicknames.

All of my main pokemon are nicknamed. I don't bother with pokemon I would never use, but I nickname those on my team

 

[cold_katanagirl]

Not really. I will every once in awhile, and if I do it's mostly on the pokemon in my main team.

[Xeno]

No. Something about giving my Pokemon a nickname makes me feel not so right.

 

[Yellow Bommen]

Yup, I sure do. Here are the names of most of my favorite Pokemon:

Mr. Popper (Swampert)
Gunman (Feraligatr)
Matches (Flareon)
Emerald (Rayquaza)
Lt. Surge (Minun)
Cerulean (Latios)
Obelisk (Blastoise)
Wonderbug (Venomoth)
Beats (Heracross)
Karate (Medicham)
IcyFlute (Articuno)
Buffet (My shiny Gulpin!) ^^

 

[PUrEHearT]

i dont nickname for the following reasons

- Too lazy
- My creativiness on nickname is horrible
- The original names suit me perfectly

 

[taitofan]

I always nickname my main team. I either name them after characters in whatever fandom I'm into at the time, or I give them their Japanese names. I've been doing the latter lately though, as it's easier to remember them if I haven't played in a while.

...Besides, Jupetta pwns Banette. <3

 

[Nny]

I rarely ever nickname my pokemon :<
When you trade it to other games only in the original can you chnage its nick so thats one of the reasons i dont.

 

[Silver_Flame]

I name my pokemon after a vidiogame character.

Seviper: Dante
Zangoose: Vergil
Eevee: Sora
Mightyena: Link
Pikachu: Cloud
Charizard: Leon

There are exeptions though. Such as:
Minun: Minus
Pulse: Plus
Typhlosion: Explosion

Those are the ones I can remeber right now.

 

[core unit]

I hardly ever give nicknames to my pokemon, cos I'm way to uncreative to think of nicknames for them.

 

[Timid Kyogre]

Yeah, I nickname my Pokemon

XD Team:
Vaporeon=Aqua
Ampharos=Sparky
Ninetales=Ember
Gardevoir=Violet
Salamence=Ruby
Mawile=Fang
