Nicknaming

S

sauzaa

Manaphy FTW~!
I was nicknaming all of my pokemon in Emerald, but I can't nickname my Mew.. Can someone help me?
 
That's because it was obtained from someone else. You can't name most Event Pokemon, except for Darkrai/Arceus/Shaymin because you catch them. (Someday, I shall get a shiny Arceus and name it Yggdrasill! :o)
 
Oh, that stinks. hopefully they change it later. i wanted to nickname it Hera or somethin. well thanks!

Just ask the person who gave it to you to nickname it what you want then give itback

chances are that he can't change it either since he/she must have got it from a Nintendo event.

The only way to nickname an event legendary is to either shark/AR one or activate an ingame event with an event item (and the approximate number of times NOA/NOE has actually activated these promotional events ingame is zero times)

They prefer to simply trade these legendaries with preset Original Trainers (meaning that they can't be nicknamed by anyone)
 
Pokémon with an OT and ID different from yours can't be nicknamed.
 
Same as everyone else said, and if it is event pokemon, you're out of luck. If it was caught on Faraway island, you might, but oh well. Personally I don't like nicknaming legendaries, since they are supposed to be one of a kind and don't need nicknames to distinguish them from others of the same species.
