Atratus

Antimatter Trainer
I always nickname the ones who stay in my party, and my HM slaves. If it is not nicknamed, it doesn't feel like it belongs to me.

So long
I nickname most of the Pokemon that I will use for battles. I do not nickname my in-game story teams or Pokemon that I cannot nickname (trades or events).

Whenever I nickname it, I feel like it has to be a unique nickname and not something like "Ben" the Durant. No offense, but I'm the kind of person who'd name a Flygon Kraid because it reminds me of a monster from Metroid. But that's another story.

I also named a Ditto Kirby, but that's also another story. Most of the nicknames I give are from other video games.

Maybe when I finally get around to playing Platinum I'll nickname all my Pokemon.

Nicknames that come from in-game trades don't count because you didn't come up with them yourself, and you're kind of stuck with the name because you can't change it. You got that Rotom in a trade for a Ditto, didn't you?

(Of course, I did name my Pikachu in Crystal Volty, after the Pikachu I received in a trade from Lt. Surge in Soul Silver. But this does count because I chose to give her that nickname.)

No. I like sticking to the original.
