I don't exactly nickname all of my Pokemon but I do nickname some Pokemon that I imagine with a certain voice of another fictional character such as Bartz for my Flareon. Named after Bartz Klauser from Final Fantasy V. Or Asbel for my Jolteon. Named after Asbel Lhant from Tales of Graces.

hey trainer
I do try to nickname all my Pokemon. As some of the other posters, I believe that giving them nicknames creates a special bond between you and your Pokemon. It's kind of like having a dog, and the difference between calling it "Dog" and "Samuel."
That said, it does get really taxing, as I always try to make the nicknames something clever. For example, I have a Scrafty named CptUndrpnt, a Togekiss named Babytooth, a Reuniclus named Alaric, a Feraligatr named Reptar... I try to make some sort of reference to something else. However, sometimes I can't think of anything, or I find something random to be much more appropriate. That's why I have a Garbodor named Garbzilla and Garbonator, and an Eelektross named Toothbrush.
Nicknames like that. It also helps differenciate when you have multiples of the same Pokemon. You can keep track of them, and also remember the specific bond you have between you and them.

I always name the Pokemon I plan on using. However, If I'm just catching it to fill up the dex, I usually skip that process.

When I first started playing I used to nickname almost everything. And I used to sit and watch the horse and greyhound racing for nickname ideas. I had quite a few nice ones going too. Nowadays though I only tend to nickname one or two, and have hardly done nicknaming lately. One peeve is that they went and made everything go from, say: PIKACHU to Pikachu. So I try and keep the latter because of feeling like the caps is shouting at you. That and I am a slight perfectionist so I don't like having an old Pokemon with all caps names in with the rest. Weird hey? ./rant
Normally I will find one of the bird types you find early in game that has more than 1 evolution and name it after my bird in real life. <3

I nickname my ingame team and the pokemon I use of competitive battling.
Like Miensho-Syaoran, Starmie-Nakshatra(It means star in my native language), Flygon-Magic, Gardevoir-Serena, Hydreigon-Sonia and many. But my ingame serperior is named Aurora, which is the only one who shares the name as my ingame name
(same pronunciation )

(same pronunciation )Mostly no, but sometimes I do on a fit of impulse. For instance when my larvesta hatched shiny and it was male, I called him Apollo. But my other shinies don't have nicknames (barring Rapidash) because I like their names just the way they are.
Sometimes when a Pokemon takes too long to catch I give them rude names. Like my Regice in Sapphire that cost me 68 ultra balls and 30 timer balls before it was finally caught, so I named it A**HOLE. A bunch of other pokemon in my pc boxes have similar nicknames due to their taking too long to catch.
Everyone on my current team do not have nicknames except for Apollo the Volcarona.
Oh, there was a time that I pranked my friend and renamed all his team 'It hurt'. He didn't get it at first until I challenged him to a battle; when I spammed supersonic he finally got the prank. It was awesome.
But yeah, I generally don't give my pokemon nicknames.

For me it depends on which Pokemon. My favorite Pokemon is obviously Sandslash, which I name shredder most of the time. Whenever I catch a legendary or something I usually just keep it the same, for example; I usually keep a Zapdos with its actual name...
