Amazing thread - love to learn more about it
There was a puzzle in ORAS to get to Regigigas to nickname Regice, so I named mine "Philbin".I always nickname my non-legendaries, but never my legendaries. Dunno if I'm the only one who does that.
Usually I don't nickname Legendaries, the only exceptions are Solgaleo and Lunala in the Crown Tundra, with Lunala I kept the name "Fwoofy" that the old lady calls the Cosmog before she gives it to you, and with Solgaleo I just called it Nebby as a Gen 7 throwback.I always nickname my non-legendaries, but never my legendaries. Dunno if I'm the only one who does that.
You can change a Go mon’s name, provided it’s yours and didn’t come from the GTS. No need to start a new save.I've started playing Pokemon Go this week, and nicknaming any Pokemon I catch with CP higher than 900, the things I use the most in Gyms and stuff. Some examples are:
- Aggron, "The Metal", in reference to the Tenacious D song.
- female Pyroar, "Savannah", the same name I gave to Pyroar in a Y playthrough I did.
- Miltank, "Jersey", after my favourite breed of cow.
- Mr. Mime, "Bobble", named after SCP-993 - Bobble the Clown
- Seviper, "Habu", a Japanese viper species.
- Sawk, "Xiaodong", named after Chinese mixed martial artist Xu Xiaodong
- Swellow, "Rusty", a play on Hirundo Rustica, the latin name for barn swallows.
Eventually I'm going to transfer all of these and possibly more to Pokemon Home once I'm tired with the game. I've done it with Bobble already, but I noticed that the transfer didn't keep his nickname. From what I've heard you apparently can change a transferred Go Pokemon's nickname in Sword and Shield, so I might start up a new Shield save file to test that out. Of course Savannah, Habu and Rusty will have to stay until those Pokemon are back in the main series.
