Nicknames

Ha, nice. Well, I'm terrible at nicknames so I nicknamed my Ralts Raz, and my Marshtomp Numakorou (That's it's Japanese name). I named my Gulpin Uranium, and I ALWAYS name my electric type DUNDABOLT, which in this case is Electrike. :D
 
I remember I accidently nicknamed my Cyndaquil - Cynda.

It felt awkward when it evolved fully.

That's the trap everyone falls in to. If you've read the Pokedex, nickname it to a nickname that suits its final evolution.

Even I accidentally nicknamed an Eevee 'Evo'. It felt rather silly as a Flareon.

Yeah, I've done that. But then I just change it's name. :P

But I usually only nickname my in-game team. Or else it would have to have a special merit to it.
 
I never do nicknames. For some reason, they really annoy me. Actually I lied, I had a nickname once, but I got it from the Shuckle man in Silver, so I don't think that counts. So no, I never willingly nickname my pokemon.
 
I don't nickname Pokémon according to their species name, but with other names, so that isn't a problem for me. I like to choose Greek Gods or Roman Gods, and sometimes just names that I like.
 
I usually name most of my Pokemon normal nicknames in the 3rd gen such as John and Jane, especially my starters since they got potential for me to substitute their nicknames.
 
I used to never nickname my Pokemon, except for a Nuzleaf on my Ruby that I named Fuzz. I have no idea how I came up with that. Nowadays I nickname my Pokemon usually by what they look like or represent. (I named my Sigilyph Sci-Fi 'cause I thought it looked weird).

That's what my mum's sister did. She nicknamed a Patrat on her Black copy 'LUKE'.
 
ive only ever nicknamed a pokemon, Gengar - MrPlop

ikr, that fails... but i always leave the names normal now..
 
If I'm going to trade unevolved Pokemon to a game where I plan on using them on my team, I'll give them thier final evolution's name as a nickname before I trade them (I do this so that their name won't be in all caps when they're fully evolved). For example, I would name a Mudkip "Swampert" and a Ralts "Gardevoir" before trading.

These names sound weird at first, but they fit perfectly when the Pokemon is fully evolved.
 
I nicknamed my Blaziken Blaze (yeah, unoriginal), my Shiny Machamp Bruce (thought it was a cool name), and my Shiny Raticate Ratty (it was something else, but I changed it).
 
I nicknamed the pokes I traded over for the Battle Frontier.
