basically, post a pokémon, and what you would (or already have) nicknamed it. so lets have an example.

Species: Staraptor ☆
Nickname: Halcyon
why: halcyon means good and peaceful. perfect for a bird type, right?

 

[nintendude 64]

Species:Scizor Nickname:ManBearPig​

Species: Gengar Nickname: StevePowr!​

The first is a south park reference, while the second is a Yugioh The Abridged Series reference.​

And also I used to name my rival IDIOT or FAILURE but thats not really nicknaming.

Mamoswine: Nanoswine
Jynx: J!NX(.COM)

Species: Azumarill
Nickname: Mousey
Reason: I don't exactly know. I named my first Marill Mousey (female), and since then, it was a must-have name for all my first female Marill in other games.
