Do You Use Nicknames?

[HM02gon]

I always nickname my In-game teams, shines, and IV breeds, but I usually don't nickname dex-fillers.

(guys dex-fillers auto corrects to sex-fillers on my computer)

 

[Elfwink]

I think nicknaming is fun, and will I probably choose to nickname any important Pokemon.

Although I tend to keep the original names of legendaries.

 

[Milennin]

I nickname everything that I end up using/plan on using on my team, with the exception of legendaries.

 

[XXD17]

I only nickname the pokemon that I breed myself.

 

[Ace Kenshader]

Not usually; most of the time I tend to give nicknames to my pokemon after I beaten the game. Have no idea why though xD

 

[Tsukuyomi56]

I didn't used to nickname my Pokemon, but after nicknaming my Magnemite on Black 2 I started to at least give nicknames to the Pokemon on my in-game team.

 

[Vern]

I've taken to Nico among Pokemon in an adjective noun format, always with aliteration. Tentacled Terror, Creepy Candle, etc.

 

[Tangeh]

I never did until FRLG when I started nicknaming EVERYTHING. I'm not sure why the sudden change of heart but yeah lol. So for half of gen III and all of gen IV / V I nicknamed everything I caught. If it was for a dex entry I'd literally just name it the first thing that came to mind... usually an alteration of the pokemon's name or a trait related to them. Beginning in Gen VI I now only nickname pokemon I'm using competitively or on an IGT. I don't nickname legendaries regardless anymore.

 

[Genos]

The only time I nicknamed my pokemon was FireRed. Other than that I never nicknamed them throughout the games.

Recently I nickname only if I catch a shiny pokemon.

 

[Earth Wolf-Howl]

I tend to give my ingame team nicknames, but any Pokemon I catch to fill my dex and legendaries tend not to be nicknamed aside from a few rare occasions.

 

[Polecat]

I nickname all of my Pokemon, and am kinda crazy about it. I actually won't usually use a gift Pokemon, even if I really like it, if I can't nickname it (Like N's Zorua).

 

[MegaMeganium]

I use nicknames only if it sounds cooler or if it brings back memories, like my Skitty is named Scruffie, because my cat is named Scruffie, and My Blastoise is Hydroblast, because he's two water shooting Shoop-Da-Woops in one pokemon. And Pikachu is Thunder, because REASONS

 

[BattleFanatic14]

Nope, never. Nicknames just don't interest me.

 

[Blaziken.Babe]

I do use nicknames, but only real names. I don't like cute names like "lala"or "fluffy" etc. I'd rather name my pokémon Jackson or Kenneth.

 

[Buuz]

Sometimes i do. Recently i caught two Heracross, both were males with Adamant nature and the Guts ability. But they were gonna be used differently, one of them would use a Mega Stone and the other would not. The one with the Mega Stone is called Crossfire, the one with a Flame Orb is called Spartacus.

 

[PrinceOfFacade]

I tend to have a different theme of nicknames with each run I play.

In my first run of Pokémon X, all of my pokemon were nicknamed with adjectives. For example, I named my Greninja Justified, my Aegislash Relinquished, and my Florges Rejuvenated.

During my first run of Pokémon White, I named all of my pokemon after X-Men characters. My Scolipede was named Lockheed.

 

[Emperor Empoleon]

Only if I can come up with one that I find clever or fitting...

 

[VampirateMace]

I've always been kind of OC about naming (it feels like they deserve names), so yeah, I name them all, except sometimes legendaries and pokemon I catch specifically for trade (which I've only recently been able to bring myself to do).

 

[MonMonCandie]

Depends. I've been nicknaming my main ingame team since XY now, and any Pokemon I EV trained I also nickname. Other than that, I don't usually nickname my Pokemon because I'm lazy and not too creative with nicknames. :X

 

[Captain Jigglypuff]

All the time. My personal favorite nicknames that I've given are as followed: Cassandra the Absol, Xerox the Ditto, F. (stands for Furious) George the Primape, Mia the Fearrow, Lady Luck for Chansey, Chatty Cathy the Chatot, Tom Jones the Hitmontop, SailorMoon the Cresslia, and Calle Marie for Malamar.
